- Summary:
-
The author defines the performance-based curriculum, presents some inherent instructional advantages of and attendant obstacles to its inception, and outlines briefly a case study of the Norfolk Public Schools where performance-based curriculum was instituted with some success. He presents performance-based curriculum as a decentralized information system designed to provide instructional data to interested parties; one that employs the concept "teacher-free" (free of significant individual teacher bias and interpretation) and is characterized by its specificity of competencies to be mastered -- success evidence, facilitative conditions, and student-centered focus. The development of such a system, the author contends, involves a lengthy piecemeal, step-by-step procedure; the ultimate objective being a fundamental, "single flow" information system concentrating on the teaching-learning process and product. In such a system, communication requirements should be pinpointed, methods for treating the data incorporated, and data feedback facilitated. Implementation of the system on a large scale is best facilitated through the employment of electronic data processing. Involvement of teachers and first level administrators in the fundamental decisions required in the planning, development, and operation of the system for the performance-based curriculum is indicated as essential to the success of the program.
