Tyler Rationale

The Tyler Rationale, developed by educational theorist Ralph Tyler, is a framework for curriculum development. It emphasizes four key questions: What educational purposes should the school seek to attain? What experiences can be provided to achieve these purposes? How can these experiences be organized effectively? And how can we evaluate whether these purposes are being met? Essentially, it guides educators to create purposeful and coherent curricula by aligning goals, learning activities, organization, and assessment, ensuring that students receive a meaningful and relevant educational experience.
