À propos du cours
The course is specifically designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to create relevant and effective curricula. Whether new to curriculum development or seeking to refresh existing skills, the course will offer trainees a comprehensive approach to curriculum design and development.
Participants will be introduced to a simple, step-by-step process for designing training courses or sessions that align with specific learning objectives. The course will also cover the different phases of the curriculum development process, namely planning, design/development, implementation, and evaluation. Through interactive training methods, participants will learn about the experiential learning cycle and different learning styles, which are critical to designing accurate and logically sequenced curricula that are essential to the instructional and adult learning processes.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to develop curricula that effectively meet the needs of diverse learners, utilise appropriate instructional strategies, and evaluate the effectiveness of the curriculum.
The course is of a highly-interactive and learner-centred nature and will be articulated around the following lines:
- The meaning of curriculum development
- Overview of different phases and steps in the curriculum development process (planning, design/development, implementation, and evaluation)
- Types of curricula, experiential learning cycle and learning styles
- How to choose the right training methods/techniques?
- Learning by doing: Curriculum design and development (group activity)

- Final examination (2 hours)
The exam is designed to test the students’ understanding of the concepts covered during the course and their ability to apply them in practical scenarios. The questions will be presented in a multiple-choice format, with four options for each question.
Students will be expected to select the most appropriate answer from the options provided. The exam will be timed, and students will have 90 minutes to complete it. 30 minutes will be allocated for the exam intro, room setup, and explanation of rules.
The questions will be of varying difficulty, with some requiring simple recall of concepts while others will require more critical thinking and analysis. To prepare for the exam, students should review the course materials and engage throughout the duration of the course (this is factored in self-study hours).
