Purpose+ + 

Analyze the purpose of your curriculum. Try to find language that implies a purpose if they do not directly state it.
 * Purpose **

· To what degree does the curriculum acknowledge the nature of the student in relation to its purpose?

· To what degree does the curriculum recognize the current needs within society in relation to its purpose?

· To what degree does the curriculum provide evidence of Tyler’s sources when determining the purpose of the curriculum?

· To what degree do you see evidence of philosophical or psychological screens (as noted in Tyler) for the development of aims, goals, and objectives?

· What are the implications of what you do or do not see in relation to purpose?

Feel free to use the discussion area above to share what you are finding and to get feedback from me as well as from other students.
