Module 5 Summary
The following might be included as a list of considerations when undertaking steps for curriculum change.
Principles of Decision-making and Process
Decisions for curriculum change should be reached collaboratively among the faculty and be made:
- for valid educational reasons
- on the basis of the best available evidence
- in a context of a broadly conceived purpose
- by balancing the needs of the learners, the learning process and the nature of the subject matter
