Difference Between Tyler & Taba

Tyler’s Rational-Linear Approach Walker’s Deliberative Approach Eisner’s Artistic Approach

Three alternative approaches to curriculum planning

Eisner’s is a highly respected scholar who has published widely since the 1960’s

His special interest were art, education and curriculum.

His subsequent articles identified weakness in the empherical- analytic mode of educational research.

Eisner pointed out the need to develop quantitative modes of research, by the mid of 1970’s.

Eisner’s Artistic Approach

Eisenr’s heading were quite similar to the steps of Tyler advocates but the underlying rationality and practical emphases are quite different.

Eisner suggests that the process of curriculum planning is far more convoluted, circuitous and adventitious, than one might be led to believe by reading the literature.
