Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction Paperback – 15 July 1969

by Ralph W. Tyler (Author)
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 52 ratings
What educational purposes should the school seek to attain, and what educational experiences can be provided that are likely to achieve these purposes? Rather than literally answering these questions of curriculum and instruction, Tyler develops a rationale for studying them, and suggests procedures for formulating answers and evaluating programs of study. Quite simply, his book outlines one way of viewing an instructional program as a functioning instrument of education.

The four sections of the book deal with ways of formulating, organizing, and evaluating the educational objectives that have been chosen for the curriculum. Tyler emphasizes the fact that curriculum planning is a continuous cyclical process, involving constand replanning, redevelopment, and reappraisal. Substitution of such an integrated view of an instructional program for hit-or-miss judgment as the basis for curriculum development cannot but result in an increasingly effective curriculum.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Simplicity - all you need to know about managing curriculum delivery.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2013
    This book was written in 1949. It is still utterly relevant today in positing in the introduction the four questions every Educational Manager should ask about the "hows" of curriculum implementation. It then expounds on those four themes in a lucid and readable manner. It should be required reading for every aspiring educational manager. If you have a methodology for answering each of Tyler's four questions you can create an educational system based on student, parental and school aspirations that will be liberating and successful in our results driven Gradgrind educational system. It poses moral as well as practical questions that all in education need to be able to answer.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Book About Curriculum Development:
    Reviewed in the United States on 9 June 2007

    I had to read this book in my doctoral program. The assignment after reading the book was to graphically represent the work in some way. That was the greatest help in me remembering the basic premise of Tyler's work and what I could do with what I learned by reading the book.

    Basically the teacher, looking at the needs of her/his learners is responsible for curriculum development. Basing choices on competing philosophies and strategies, the learner is always the one under the magnifying glass in the process. The ideas and instruction found in the book really empower the teacher to take charge of the process.

    I have used the ideas in this book in leading the Christian education programs in the churches I have served. It's well worth the read. And when you're done, graphically summarize it so you don't forget what you learned as well.

    Tyler provides us with a perennial framework for modern curriculum and instruction that is widely used in most classrooms today. Although I am not certain that I agree with the linearist model and tradition of curriculum, I enjoyed reading Tyler's four principles and would highly recommend the book to anyone interested in the development of curriculum and standards based instruction.
