Essentials of Curriculum Design and Implementation - An overview

Abstract

The basic motive behind having a curriculum in an institution, whether a school or a university is to have a particular order and approach in teaching the students. Simply teaching a course without a head or a tail neither makes any sense nor helpful for students in their long run. Hence curriculum is the basic thing for any institution and its design may vary for different institutions. Implementation for the same is much bigger issue than the design!In implementing the designed curriculum, we have to follow set standards as per PEOs, POs and COs. In writing PEOs, POs, and COs, we have to involve all stake holders of the society to get desired results.
