Developing the Curriculum

For curriculum developers, educators, teachers, school principals, curriculum planners, and who concerns in curriculum development, I have found this textbook to be useful and fruitful in the field. The language used in this textbook is easy and straightforward. In addition, the textbook can be used as a reference. Currently, I am preparing my doctoral degree of education in curriculum and instruction at the University of Phoenix Online. This textbook is required for the course "Curriculum Design." I wish you all Good Luck. Mohammedali

I saved a lot of money ordering this book used. I received it just in time for my class.

The book is very practical for those who are interested in developing the curriculum. It covers all facets about curriculum and many examples. But the edit structure is not very clear, besides, the binding is very lousy. The pages fall off easily.

Now in a significantly expanded and updated sixth edition, Developing The Curriculum by academician and education expert Peter F. Oliva takes the reader through a methodical, comprehensive, step-by-step process of currciulum developing based upon a core of key models and basic concepts. Chapters address both the technical details and the human dimension of the art of curriculum planning, the philosophy and aims of education, curriculum implementation strategies, appropriately evaluating instruction, and much more. A seminal instructional, illustrating its abstract concepts with diagrams, discussion questions, supplementary exercises and exhaustive, in-depth text.
