This module is designed to enable students to engage deeply with the concepts and the international research that have informed recent curriculum development in Wales. It will enable students to consider curriculum design and realisation in different contexts, including their own. The module will equip students to evaluate different curriculum design approaches and to critically appraise the various implementation processes that accompany curriculum change within education institutions and systems.

This module equips students with an understanding of the purpose and principles of curriculum design in relation to effective teaching, learning and leadership at all levels. The module aims to develop in students a critical understanding of the strategies needed for changing and implementing a curriculum, for example, the place of subsidiarity. This module will enable professionals to apply their knowledge and understanding of curriculum development in their own context and to compare this with curriculum design and realisation in other settings.
