ABSTRACT:
This paper deals with curriculum development and addresses a move from a traditional paradigm with syllabus-driven didactic teaching to a new learning-based paradigm for higher education. Within the framework of contextual learning, curriculum development is exemplified by a course in Business Economic Theory and Analysis which runs over 2½ years of the 3 years bachelor programme in Business Administration and Organisational Communication at Copenhagen Business School. This course uses a combination of face-to-face and face-to-interface activities. The combinations of course structure and work processes have been planned so it explicitly pays attention to student learning in various ways. In the paper we show how curriculum development and students’ learning processes are closely related, and we discuss the range of learning theories of which the development of the particular course is based. The paper has potential relevance to all academics interested in learning processes of students and to those responsible for curriculum development in particular. It also opens up a side to the societal/political debate, as it has policy implications for the development of higher education institutions. The paper has four sections. It opens with our view on the role of higher education, followed by a section on contextual learning. Based on this, in section 3 we formulate requirements for curriculum development, and in section 4 we show its implication for the development of a concrete course.
