The document compares and contrasts three curriculum design models: Taba's model uses an inductive approach and focuses on creating teaching and learning units first. Tyler's model is the best known and uses a deductive approach that goes from general goals and objectives to specific lessons. Wheeler's model includes five cyclical elements - objectives, content, learning experiences, teaching strategies, and evaluation measures. All three models provide structure for curriculum development and aim to guide decisions around selecting, structuring, and sequencing educational experiences.

SIMILARITIES Provide structure for examining the model Designed to provide a basic for decisions regarding the:- -Selection -Structuring -Sequencing of the education experiences All involves curriculum development process
DIFFERENCES Rational/ objective model An inductive approach
Eg: teacher should begin the process by creating specific T&L units for the SS rather than by engaging initially in creating a general curriculum design.
Rational/ objective model Best known model for curriculum development. Deductive for it proceeds from general to specific Cyclical model The ideas are in a cyclic form (Tylers original Ideas)
