Book Overview
"Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction" by Ralph W. Tyler addresses fundamental questions in the field of education: What educational purposes should schools seek to attain, and how can educational experiences be designed to achieve these purposes? Rather than directly answering these questions, Tyler presents a rationale for their study and offers a systematic approach to formulating answers and evaluating educational programs.
The book outlines a structured perspective on instructional programs as essential tools for education. It is divided into four sections, each addressing various aspects of educational objectives within the curriculum. Tyler emphasizes the importance of curriculum planning as an ongoing cyclical process that involves continuous refinement, redevelopment, and reappraisal. By adopting an integrated approach to instructional program development, he advocates for more effective curricula.
