It tends to be organizing the experiences of the learner by constructing tentative and long-term objectives; it scrutinizes the experiences by only highlighting what are effective and efficient in developing the classroom learning from a tedious classroom to an interactive learning environment. It then makes the actions permanent if the objectives are helping the learners attain the subject matters, expected outputs and behaviors aptly can be met in order to sustain the said efficiency of this model of curriculum. It is a model that focuses what the school envisions for the learner as a basic member of the family and the society which can contribute much as to how the world functions in order to meet the demands and the expectations of the society. Hilda Taba’s Linear Model This model was constructed as such for it is believed by the developer that teachers who teach or implement the curriculum should participate in developing it. Therefore, it can be clearly seen that in this model we should also test the teaching strategies and theories brought up by the school to the extent of really rectifying what are and what are not efficient enough for the said needs of the students. It was also mentioned that it really encourages the involvement of teachers and students. This is not a one way correspondence.
