OBJECTIVES

1. define what dynamic curriculum

development models are;
2. recognize those persons behind the
dynamic models;
3. identify the different models of
curriculum development; and
4. understand how curriculum workers
do their task in curriculum
development.
 The dynamic
models describe how
curriculum workers develop
curricula in various
educational contexts. They
are usually used in school-
based settings.
*In dynamic models, curriculum is not considered as linear or sequenced.
