Chapter 1. A Shared Definition of Curriculum Design Chapter 2. A Design Approach to Curricula Chapter 3. Differentiating the Dimensions of Curriculum Chapter 4. Differentiated Curriculum Chapter 5. Evaluating Curricula Chapter 6. Summary and Conclusions
Moye, a curriculum developer and consultant who focuses on the research and development of systematic strategies to improve the effectiveness of higher education, outlines a systematic approach to the design of curricula at all levels of higher education, focusing on the configuration and organization of each component of the curriculum to create the most effective and efficient learning experience for the learner. The approach presents the shortest path to learning and creates barriers to failure by considering the psychophysical attributes of the learner in learning differentiation, particularly the performance attributes and processes involved in learning. The author discusses the book’s definition of curriculum design; the design approach to curricula; the dimensions of learning engagement, experience, and environment and their differentiation; adapting theories of learning, instruction, and environment into design templates to differentiate the dimensions and components of a curriculum, with examples of cognition-based, behavior-based, performance-based, and values-based curricula and competence learning; and the evaluation of curricula.
