Abstract
The only way for countries to succeed in the field of education can only
be by constantly updating and improving their curricula. Therefore,
countries should have a flexible education program that is open to
innovations in the field of education. The curriculum is the arrangement of
learning experiences provided through activities planned at school or outside
of school (Demirel, 2019: 6). Four elements are very vital when preparing a
program according to the curriculum. These elements are purpose, content,
educational status, and assessment and evaluation. These four elements should
provide dynamic integrity within themselves. In particular, the curriculum of
each course taught in schools should be prepared and planned according to these
elements. These four elements of the program guide the teachers by leading
them so that learning in schools is tried to be maximized.
Countries are constantly trying to improve their curricula by keeping
them under control to modernize their education levels. In that case, based
on four elements, curriculum development is the design of a program, the
implementation of the designed program in schools, the evaluation of the
implemented programs, and the correction or rearrangement of the evaluated
programs according to the results obtained. Curriculum development consists of
the integrity of continuous, applied, and collaborative studies. When a program
is developed in the field of education, this program must be tested. Thus,
curriculum development in education is a practice-based study. In addition,
taking into account the developments and changes in the world and in the country, as well as constantly changing, developing, and arranging the programs
make the curriculum development studies perpetual. At the same time, working
with teachers from different departments and individuals from different fields in
curriculum development studies ensures that curriculum development studies
are carried out on a collaborative basis. Curriculum development studies are
theoretically based on four institutional bases: 1. Historical, 2. Sociological, 3.
Psychological and 4. Philosophical.
