    DEVELOPMENT
    FACTORS AFFECTING CURRICULUM

    • Philosophical

    • Psychological

    • societal or social

    • Political

    • Economical

    • Technological

    • Gender

    •
    PHILOSOPHICAL FACTORS

    • It helps education in formulating beliefs, arguments, and


    assumptions and in making value judgments. Philosophy
    develops a broad outlook and it helps in answering what schools
    are for, what subjects are important, how students should learn,
    and what materials and methods should be used.
    PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS

    • The purpose of psychology is to study human behavior. Psychology


    contributes to curriculum planning by providing teachers with information
    concerning the nature of students, the nature of the process involved in
    learning, the motivation, personality and individual differences of students,
    the value of teaching methods and teaching effectiveness.
    SOCIETAL OR SOCIAL FACTORS

    • The purpose of sociology is the analysis of organized


    human relationship. Its major contribution
    to curriculum has been the making of decisions about
    the content of curriculum and its main focus has been the
    understanding of the direction of social change and
    the socialization of the individual. 
    POLITICAL FACTORS

    • Politics has a certain impact on all spheres of life, and instability of


    politics leads to instability in everyday life. It usually defines goals
    and content; political considerations need to be admitted while
    curriculum development; and political decisions may change the
    requirements for curriculum development.
    ECONOMICAL FACTORS

    • As compared to the elite schools where this is hardly a problem,


    schools belonging to the lower social strata cannot entertain the
    possibility of using modern equipment, e.g. the computer, due to
    financial constraints. This also leads to losing good teachers and
    other personnel to places offering better remuneration.
    TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS

    • Technology makes it possible to be more flexible about when and


    where teaching and learning take place, and makes it easier for the
    curriculum to build on learners' interests and abilities.
    GENDER FACTORS

    • The needs of each gender are also kept in mind for the development
    of curriculum. Although this is the age where women have gone into
    professions which were previously considered the domain of male
    gender and women are asking for equal rights.
