3. The Wheeler model (1967)
The Wheeler model of curriculum development (1967), or cyclic model, asserts that curriculum
should be a continuous cycle which is responsive to changes in the education sector and makes
appropriate adjustments to account for these changes. It focuses on situational analysis: the context in
which the curriculum decisions are taken is considered important, as this is believed to help make the
most effective decisions. This model is comprised of five interconnected stages:
1.Aims, goals and objectives
2.Selection of learning experiences
3.Selection of content
4.Organisation and integration of learning experiences and content
5.Evaluation
