the learning scenarios.” Identify the seven major steps that go before.
44. In the naturalistic model of curriculum development there are usually several teachers on a
___________________rather than a curriculum specialist.
45. Identify three advantages to the decentralization of new course development.
46. According to the authors, student questions during the naturalistic development model are
more valid than the more formal _____________________.
47. Identify the three questions asked when refining the tentative list of unit objectives.
48. A ______________is a more flexible and open-ended guide that helps the teacher in starting
the new course of study.

____________ than research that might require them to substantially ___________ their
practice.
50. The best change strategy for schools promotes reform from __________ and __________.
51. Describe, in general, the technical approach to course development.
52. One school district was interested in establishing an elective course in the theoretical aspects
of flying an aircraft because it addressed meteorology, physics, mathematics, and map skills. In
order to determine the objectives the curriculum expert used the objectives listed at the start of
each chapter in a book. Was this good practice? Why or why not? If it is not good practice, how
should the objectives be determined?
53. Describe several import roles that assessment plays when implementing the curriculum.

56. Construct an essay in which you stake out the territory for a course you may want to see
developed.
