Interior Design Curriculum Evaluations by Graduates of the Program
Abstract
There are many different, often conflicting, conceptions of what is meant by the term "curriculum." For some, it is a loose term encompassing the range of content or a course of study; for others, it is the singular textbook to which the class is assigned. The author believes in "curriculum" as that planned set of identified educational goals and learning experiences that are organized in a manner to facilitate growth in the learner. In the presentation of a successful interior design program, the importance of the teacher, in accompanying the curriculum for the student, is accepted as a major component to be built into all curriculum development efforts. The teacher is, in the vast majority of cases, the "curriculum gatekeeper." Without adequate attention to the teacher's day to day role, the entire curriculum may founder.
