- 2. Introduction Wheeler’s model is an improvement upon Tyler’s model. Instead of a linear model, Wheeler developed a cyclical model. Curriculum should be a continuous cycle which is responsive to changes in the education sector and makes appropriate adjustments to account for these changes. 2
- 3. Introduction Evaluation in Wheeler’s model is not terminal. Finding from the evaluation are fed back into the objectives and the goals which influence other stages. This model illustrates the dynamic nature of the process of curriculum development. It goes on as the needs and interests of society change and the objectives also change. 3
- 4. 2. Selection of learning experiences 3. Selection of content 4. Organisation and integration of learning experiences 5. Evaluation 1. Selection of aims, goals and objectives The Wheeler’s Model 4
- 5. Step 1: Selecting aims, goals and objectives Selection must be relevant to the specific content area. 5 Why? Tells the planner about the direction of educational development.

- 9. Step 5: Evaluating Evaluation on different phases and an examination of whether the goals have been attained. Through formative and summative assessment. 9
- 10. Comparison between Tyler’s Model & Wheeler’s Model 10 Aspects Models Tyler’s Model Wheeler’s Model Similarities • They are both curriculum design models. • They have evaluation steps in their models. Differences • Four stage design • Linear • Evaluation is terminal • Five stage design • Cyclic • Evaluation is done and the results are fed back into the system
- 11. Significance of Wheeler’s Cyclical Model Provide logical sequence. Present the curriculum process as a continuing activity which is constantly in a state of change as new information or practices become available. 11
- 12. Significance of Cyclical Model View stages of the curriculum as interrelated and interdependent. Five interrelated stages: Aims, goals and objectives Selection of learning experiences Selection of content Organization and integration of learning experiences and content Evaluation 12
- 13. Significance of Cyclical Model Involve Situational Analysis, which involves the environment where the curriculum is going to be introduced. Responsive to needs. Provide flexibility (and relevant to school situations and teaching) 13
