Synthesizing Educational Objectives for Infant Curricula.

Sparling, Joseph J.

This paper presents a system for synthesizing the educational objectives of infant curricula and illustrates the procedure by reviewing the synthesis of several specific objectives of the Carolina Infant Curriculum. Five sources are used in the synthetic process: (1) consumer opinions, (2) developmental theory, (3) developmental facts, (4) adaptive sets, and (5) high-risk indicators. Examples are also given of the analysis of curriculum goals using this same system. (CS)
