Tyler's Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction

Tyler’s Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction emphasize that effective education should be goal-oriented, meaning clear learning objectives guide what students should achieve. Curriculum development involves selecting appropriate learning experiences and content that help students reach these goals. Instruction should be based on assessment—understanding students' needs and progress—to adapt teaching methods. Overall, Tyler advocates for a systematic approach where educational decisions are interconnected, ensuring that what is taught, how it is taught, and how learning is measured work together to promote meaningful student learning.
