INTRODUCTION
In the student life, the main thing which they have to adopt is the development in their
behaviour to give importance to studies and make their vision clear about their career. It can be
done with the help of guidance, generally curriculum development is the process by which an
instructor or the institution create or adopts some method to completed the course. It is the duty
of teachers to take the responsibility of completing the course with the effective manner means,
that method will make easy way for the student to study and prepare for their exam. Teacher
should also be specialised in the particular subject that they teach to student's (Hansen, 2019). It
should be known to the teachers that, developing an effective curriculum design is very crucial
for the reason to provide a successful education. Consumer Behaviour is the specialization taken
for curriculum design. In this report, the purpose of making curriculum design, its approaches
and models will get discuss. Apart from that, in this report also discuss the methods which use to
control and examine the curriculum.
TASK 1
Motive of curriculum design and development
 Academic Motive- This is the main motive of curriculum development to make the
academic syllabus of the student cleared and completed with all the efforts and methods.
This helps the students to do revision and so they can easily study with all the concepts
clear.
 Social Motive- It is really necessary to develop the interest of studies in students. This
will become possible while developing the curriculum in such a manner which develop
their learning skills and give them a way to study with the best interest.
 Economic Motive- Reason for the unemployment is the uninterested students towards
their studies. And they are not interested because of boring structure of studies and
syllabus. It need the best development of curriculum which provides some interest to the
students towards their studies and also give literacy to the student which, remove the
unemployment and enhance the economy of the country (Monaziroh,and
Choirudin,2021).

 Political Motive- The development of curriculum is also get used to advertise their
academic process. Their main motive is to do the advertisement about their academics
programs, methods of providing lectures and the way they completed syllabus for exams.
Doing advertisement about their universities and the importance of curriculum design,
their main motive behind this show off is to attract students from abroad and from
different-different countries.
Approaches and models of curriculum design and development
Approaches of curriculum designs:
 Student Centred- All the students are not same, some have different mind sets , some
wants to study fro the one purpose and some have different purpose. So, when the
curriculum will design it should be design according to the students intelligence. The
curriculum development is done in such a manner that enhance the interest of studies and
learning in students and help in achieving their goals (Robinson, 2022).
 Subject centred- This is the approach which seeks to develop the curriculum according
to the particular subject. This is also the method to provide the best learning to the
student in the particular subject. By this approach students feel relax after completing the
particular subject thoroughly. For example; such curriculum is made which give the
importance to consumer behaviour and economics it means, the teacher would cover all
the topic of that subject and it helps the students to learn that subject with all clear mind.
This approach of developing curriculum in a particular subject provide best learning to
the students and with all the concept clear in that subject, they would able to get full
knowledge about the particular subject (Šmeringaiová, 2021).
 Difficulty centred- In this approach, the curriculum is made for the specific reason.
There are some subjects like mathematics and case studies or projects etc. during which
the students face difficulty at the time of solving it. To solve the problems such type of
curriculum should made which provide that skill to the students so, that they will be able
to resolve the problems. It is the beneficial approach for the students, they can apply this
formula of developing curriculum to solve their issues which they are facing in their
academics.
Models of curriculum design:
2

 Product Model Curriculum- This the model given by Tyler, R.W. in 1949. This
curriculum model is form to give importance to the end result of the given task, projects
or assignments. This model always use when there is a tension of end result, through this
model such curriculum is made which provides the better result in the end.
 Process Model Curriculum- This model got introduced by Stenhouse, L. in 1975. This
model of curriculum design is formed to give attention to particular student. It gives the
better learning understandings to the student and also make the student bold. This model
focusing on curriculum design, the better curriculum got developed the better learning
would provide to the student.
Importance of learner feedback when developing curriculum
 To safeguard comprehensive curriculum- It is really important to ensure the reason of
making the curriculum. Sometime, the curriculum was made in which the students have
some issues, if it is not checked on time then, it is useless and it is just a wastage if time.
After making the curriculum it is essential to take the feedbacks from the students and if,
there is any mistake or the need is not fulfil, teacher will update that curriculum
(Stambaugh,and Mofield, 2022).
 To ensure strong and weak points of curriculum- If the teachers got the feedback in
curriculum from the students, it will let the teachers know about the area in curriculum
where they have to do some changes and also they got to know from the feedback that, it
is best area through which student develop their learning skills.
 Provide opportunist to alter curriculum- Students are better aware about their
syllabus , their feedbacks are really important. It gives the opportunity to the teacher's to
add or to remove some areas in curriculum.
 Student respect curriculum value- If the feedbacks are coming in curriculum it means,
students are giving importance to curriculum made by their teachers and they understand
the value of curriculum in their academics.
 Assure teachers about policies- If no feedback is point out in curriculum it means it is
correct or no importance is given by the students. But, the feedbacks are the sign that they
are giving importance to curriculum and also they assure their teachers about the policies
and rules of the institution. It is possible that teachers forget to comply with policies of
institution.
