Correct Answer:
B. Selection of content
Ralph Tyler's Rationale, a foundational model for curriculum development, outlines four key questions. The first step involves defining objectives: 'What educational purposes should the school seek to attain?' Once these objectives are established, the subsequent step is the selection of content, addressing the question: 'What educational experiences can be provided that are likely to attain these purposes?' Content is chosen specifically to help students achieve the predetermined learning goals.
- Evaluation is the final step in Tyler's model, determining whether the objectives have been met.
- Implementation is the practical execution of the curriculum, which occurs after content selection and organization.
- Feedback is part of the ongoing assessment and refinement process, not a distinct step immediately following objectives in the initial model.
