Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Curriculum development theory (Tyler's Rationale, and later Taba's model) identifies the essential components that together make up a curriculum: objectives (the goals to be achieved), the content and learning experiences to reach those goals, teaching strategies (the methods used to organise and deliver that content), and evaluation (the means of checking whether the objectives were achieved).

In this item, teaching strategies, objectives, and evaluation are each independently recognised as core components of curriculum design — none of them can be dropped from the framework, since each answers a different question the curriculum must address (what to achieve, how to teach it, and how to check it was achieved).

  • Teaching strategies alone describe only the “how” of delivering the curriculum; objectives and evaluation are still needed to define the goal and confirm it was met.

  • Objectives alone describe only the “what” to achieve; teaching strategies and evaluation are still needed to deliver and verify that goal.

  • Evaluation alone describes only the “check” step; objectives and teaching strategies are still needed to set and pursue the goal being checked.

Since a curriculum must specify objectives, plan the strategies to teach them, and evaluate whether they were met, teaching strategies, objectives, and evaluation are each essential components of the curriculum framework.
