Curriculum development, as a curriculum improvement process, is very important for student development. Various approaches to curriculum development are available in the literature. The most used approaches are as follows:
analysis (i.e. needs analysis, task analysis),
design,
choosing (i.e. choosing appropriate learning/teaching methods and appropriate assessment methods),
creating (ie, forming a curriculum implementation/evaluation sub-committee) and
review (sub-committee review of the curriculum) approaches.
Some curricula are heavily based on science and technology.
Some curricula are more arts-oriented. However, in comparing different curricula, certain approaches have been found to be more effective than others. Comprehensive programs for health, nutrition and development are important because programs for young and vulnerable children require sensitivity.
