Syllabus Mapping — Units & Learning Outcomes
| Unit | Themes (as reflected in this paper) |
|---|---|

| Unit II | Models of curriculum development (Taba); principles of curriculum aims and the evaluation procedure |
| Unit III | Curriculum design (the eclectic model); curriculum designs in the Indian education system |
| Unit IV | Models of curriculum development (demonstrative, administrative) |
In practice, this paper is built around named models, so the safest revision route is to learn each model — Taba, eclectic, demonstrative, administrative — well enough to compare them, rather than treating them in isolation.
