TEN AXIOMS
FOR
CURRICULUM
DESIGNING
Curriculum Development is a decision
making process. When dealing with
curriculum development or even problems
with curriculum it is useful to have a set of
principles that can serve as guidelines for
deciding what is good, right, and
reasonable.
2
 According to Oliva (2002, p. 29),
“curriculum principles are derived from
1) empirical data, 2) experimental data, 3)
the folklore of curriculum, and 4)
common sense.”

3
Oliva (2005) states that curriculum principles may be
viewed as whole truths, partial truths, or hypotheses.
 Axioms
-a maxim widely accepted on its intrinsic merit,
-a statement accepted as true as the basis for
argument or inference
-an established rule or principle of a self-evident
truth

5
✗ Oliva (2005) offers several generally accepted
axioms that provide a frame of reference for
curriculum developers seeking ways improve
curriculum and solve curriculum problems.
