2. The first important step in determining
what the curriculum should be for a given
population is to diagnose its needs.
Diagnosis is an essential part of Curriculum
Development in order to attune it with the needs
of the times and of the learners and to help
determine which objectives to stress.
It should be a continuous part of on-going
curriculum and teaching.
Diagnostic evidence is also needed to gear plans and
expectations to the upper limits of potentiality
4. Diagnosis of the Learners
The curriculum should be developed to enhance
the desirable uniqueness of individuals.

Needs The content of the curriculum should
deal with the nature, background, and
needs of that society.

curriculum and to give reality and
concreteness to learning

causes of achievement…the difficulties
encountered in teaching, or the evident
failure of the curriculum to reach a
considerable portion of the learners
