Abstract

Curriculum design concerns the pattern of organizing the elements or components of the curriculum. The preparation of curriculum design can be seen from two dimensions, namely the horizontal and vertical dimensions. The horizontal dimension relates to the arrangement of the scope of the curriculum. This scope arrangement is often integrated with the learning and teaching process. The vertical dimension concerns the arrangement of material sequences based on the order of difficulty level. Materials are arranged starting from the easy ones, then moving on to the more difficult ones, or starting with the basics and continuing with the advanced ones. This curriculum design describes in detail the components that must be in each curriculum as well as curriculum designs that can be used for the learning process. The discourse states that in the curriculum there are several components, including curriculum objectives, teaching materials or materials or contents of the curriculum, teaching strategies or teaching methods, teaching media and teaching evaluation and teaching improvement. These components are interconnected with one another. Each component has content that is very important for the continuity of the curriculum.
