   • also the needs of the learners
     • principles of teaching and learning
       • Guidelines for Deciding or Checking the Content and Sequencing of a Course
         • ENVIRONMENT

           • Lacks, wants and necessities
         • PRINCIPLES
         • Goals and Conten
           • Making sensible, well-justified decisions about content is one of themost important parts of curriculum design.
             • Some curriculum designers break goals down into smaller well-specifiedperformance objective
               • Progression in the Course
                 • The units of progression in a course are the items that are used to grade the progress of the course.
                   • If the starting point of a course was topics,then the units of progression would also be topics with progress through thecourse being marked by an increasing number of topics covered
                     • What Will the Progression be Used For
                       • 1Units of progression can be used to set targets and paths to those targets. 2 Units of progression can be used to check the adequacy of selection and ordering in a course. 3 Units of progression can be used to monitor and report on learners’ progress and achievement in the course
                         • The units of progression are complex as we see in the next image
