Curriculum Development and Evaluation: Curriculum Components in Action

Much has been written about successful curricula for/of the fourth/Fifth Industrial Revolution (4/5IR). The written work has been dominated by a contestation between content-driven approaches (professional needs) and outcomes-driven approaches (societal needs). The contestation between these approaches misses the production of conclusive curriculum components that underpin a successful digitalised curriculum for/of the 4/5IR. The contestation further misses a pragmatic curriculum, which is capable of addressing individual-unique needs. As such, this book concentrates on curriculum components that underpin a successful digitalised curriculum for/of the 4/5IR. It further discusses curriculum components for/of a pragmatic curriculum that harmonises between the two dominating approaches.
