Curriculum design is indeed
a crucial and time-taking or [should be] time-taking process in the teaching of
every subject area. It requires many steps like needs analysis, environment
analysis, evaluation, etc., which all require special attention and detailed
work. The step about decisions on goals, materials, and sequencing requires
specific attention just like the other steps since it is the very course of
action that students experience directly. For instance, setting a goal is
crucial since it will be the destination for the students taking the course.
Secondly, choosing the right materials is similar to choosing which paths to
use during instruction, and lastly, sequencing of the content is close to the
selection of the order of these paths. In that sense, in order not to get lost
in the journey of teaching and learning, these steps, namely goals, content,
and sequencing, of the curriculum design shall be developed carefully.
