The Tyler Model
developed by the American educator Ralph Tyler
in the 1940s
very simple model even used by modern educators
formulate educational objectives, how to organise
them, analyse them and adjust them so that the
students are able to meet these objectives
Fundamental Questions in Developing Curriculum
• What educational purposes should the school
seek to attain? • What educational experiences
can be provided that are likely to attain these
purposes? • How can these educational
experiences be effectively organized? • How can
we determine whether and to what extent these
purposes are being attained?
1. Defining appropriate learning objectives
2. Establishing useful learning experiences
3. Organising learning experiences to have a
maximum cumulative effect
4. Evaluating the curriculum and revising the
aspects that did not prove to be effective
The Saylor and Alexander Model
Galen Saylor and William Alexander (1974)
Defined curriculum asa plan for providing sets of
learning opportunities for persons to be educated
Curriculum planners begin by specifying the major
educational goals and specific objectives they wish
to be accomplished.
Made up of smaller sessions for diffirent sectionsof
the curriculum
4 Domains of Learning

The Taba Model
Proposed by Hilda Taba (1932)
defines ‘curriculum’ as a document containing a
statement of the aims and of the specific
objectives; it indicates some selection and
organization of content; it either implies or
manifests certain patters of learning and teaching
This model taps into higher-order thinking skills.
Builds comprehension skills such as inference,
synthesizing and summarizing.
Gifted learners will thrive with the opportunities to
explore questions with multiple correct answers.
Questioning is open ended, No clear right or wrong
response.
When grouped together students work
collaboratively with others to build speaking and
listening skills.
Provides an opportunity for healthy classroom
discussions before and after generalizations are
made.
Steps:
 Diagnosis of Learners’ Needs
 Formulation of Objectives
 Selection of the Content
Organization of the Content
Selection of Learning Experiences
Organization of Learning Activities
Evaluation
Similarities
The Tyler Model and The Saylor and Alexander
Model are both Deductive Models, meanwhile The
Taba Model is inductive in nature.
All of the three models include different types of
curriculums in the designing of curriculum
development.
The curriculum model are evaluated and properly
designed or planned.
Can be used both in school and national level.
planned around general goals and specific learning
objectives
all are linear models of curriculum development
