MAJOR COMPONENTS
The Tyler Model is often referred to as the ‘objective model’ because of it’s objective approach to educational evaluation
It emphasizes consistency among objectives, learning experiences, and outcomes
Curriculum objectives indicate both behavior to be developed and area of content to be applied (Keating, 2006)
Tyler’s Four Principles of Teaching
Principle 1: Defining Appropriate Learning Objectives
Tyler’s Teaching Principles cont’d
Principle 2: Establishing Useful Learning Experiences
Tyler’s Teaching Principles cont’d
Principle 3: Organizing Learning Experiences to Have a Maximum
Cumulative Effect
Tyler’s Teaching Principles cont’d
Principle 4: Evaluating the Curriculum and Revising Those
Aspects That Did Not Prove to be Effective
(Keating, 2006)
PRIMARY TERMS OF THE THEORY
Stating Objectives (Denham, 2002) The progressive emphasizes the
importance of studying the child to find out what kinds of interests he has, what problems he encounters, what purposes he has in mind. The progressive sees this information as providing the basic source for selecting objectives
PRIMARY TERMS OF THE THEORY
Selecting Learning Experiences (Denham, 2002) Tyler believes that students learn
through exploration Like his mentor, John Dewey, Tyler
believes teachers should encourage children to become actively engaged in discovering what the world is like
PRIMARY TERMS OF THE THEORY
Organizing Learning Experiences (Denham, 2002) Central to Tyler’s Model is effectively
organizing the learning activities Students need concrete experiences to
which the readings are meaningfully connected
Three major criteria are required in building organized learning experiences: continuity, sequence and integration
PRIMARY TERMS OF THE THEORY
Evaluating the Curriculum (Denham, 2002) The process of assessment is critical to
Tyler’s Model and begins with the objectives of the educational program
The process of evaluation is essentially the process of determining to what extent the educational objectives are actually being realized by the program of curriculum and instruction
STRENGTHS OF MODEL
Involves the active participation of the learner (Prideaux, 2003)
Objectives are clearly defined in the purposes. These purposes are translated into educational objectives. (www.coedu.usf.edu/agents/dlewis/publications/tyler.htm)
Simple linear approach to development of behavioral objectives (Billings & Halstead, 2009)
CRITICISMS OF THE TYLER MODEL
Narrowly interpreted objectives (acceptable verbs)
Difficult and time consuming construction of behavioral objectives
Curriculum restricted to a constricted range of student skills and knowledge
CRITICISMS OF THE TYLER MODEL
(CONT.) Critical thinking, problem solving
and value acquiring processes cannot be plainly declared in behavioral objectives (Prideaux, 2003)
CRITICISMS OF THE TYLER MODEL
(CONT.) Learning experiences are individual and
are not totally within the power of the teacher to select The teacher can control the learning
experience through the manipulation of the environment, which results in stimulating situations sufficient to evoke the kind of learning outcomes desired (www.neiu.edu/~aserafin/New%20Folder/TYLER.html)
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING CURRICULUM
Behavioral objectives no longer the “gold standard” another prescriptive model has emerged since 1980s, outcomes based education
Outcome based education focus on student behavior instead of staff, defines outcomes obtained by student
Program designers include statements of intent as broad curriculum aims and specific objectives

ORPHAN SLIDES
MAJOR COMPONENTS
Tyler stated his curriculum rationale in terms of four questions which must be answered in developing any curriculum and plan of instruction: What educational purposes should
the school seek to attain?
MAJOR COMPONENTS
(CONT.) What educational experiences can be
provided that are likely to attain these purposes?
How can these educational experiences be effectively organized?
How can we determine whether these purposes are being attained?
MAJOR COMPONENTS
These questions can be turned into a four step process (www.neiu.edu/~aserafin/New%20Folder/TYLER.html):
Stating Objectives Selecting Learning Experiences Organizing Learning Experiences Evaluating the Curriculum
