Pearson BTEC Level 5 DET3AB47: Education and Training Theories Report

This report addresses theories, principles, and models in education and training, focusing on curriculum. It begins by defining curriculum and outlining the aims and objectives of the presentation. It then explores the theories of Ralph Tyler and Hilda Taba, discussing their contributions to curriculum development and how these theories can be applied in a teaching context. The report examines various curriculum models, including process and product models, and identifies the Hilda Taba model as particularly relevant. It also delves into different curriculum structures, such as linear, spiral, thematic, pyramid, and Jigsaw structures, concluding that the Jigsaw structure is most suitable for the author's specialist area, providing examples to support this choice. The report concludes with a list of references.
