Theoretical curriculum models have formed the backbone in the methodology of today’s educational practice. Theoretical models interpret integrated theories which analyse the understanding of teaching, training and learning behaviours and instructional objectives. Behaviour is defined as performance, actions and activities. Instructional objective is define as the teaching process (Thesaurus: English UK, Encarta Dictionary:UK).
These theories provide principles in which planning and design corroborate teaching, training and learning practice as being measurable. These theories agree a path where the teacher selects appropriate teaching methods and content required in designing satisfactory lesson plans within the scheme of work. Thus predicting the desired learning outcomes to be attained and assessed in achieving a set goal in meeting the curriculum’s set purpose.
In studying theories such as those of the American psychologist, the purposive and neo-behaviourist Burrhus F. Skinner focused his experiments into operant conditioning by means of reinforcement programmes. Psychologist and Behaviourist Fred S. Keller, and others, who in 1964 developed the Personalised System, i.e. the Keller Plan which supports and encourages the learning process in reaching desired learning objectives to be attained at the learner’s own pace, or self pacing. Both of these theories maintain that learning objectives need to be assiduously developed by the teacher enabling effective learning process. Skinner’s approach is seen as - behaviour controlled working method compared to Keller’s approach of self-pacing, whilst promoting the autonomy of personal interaction. Upon reflection Skinner’s self-management seems to attach similar attributes to Keller’s self-pacing each form the opinion of self-control. However there is one theory which dominates the educational system of today Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational
