About the benefits of cooperative action in curriculum development
Abstract:
1. Problems and objectives
The development of curricula sets the foundation for the quality of study and the success of a degree programme. Challenges in curriculum development arise primarily from conflicting goals and different levels of information among the stakeholdes within the university.
2. Methodical approach
On the basis of case studies (Ruhr-University Bochum and University of Greifswald), the authors argue for an integrated approach, starting from the intended curriculum to the realized university degree programme. The focus is on the process design, the facilitated division of tasks and participation of the relevant stakeholders as well as their reflection on their role in interaction.
3. Results and findings
The quality and sustainability of the development of study programs is decisively influenced by the the facilitated division of tasks and participation the same priority given to the implementation of the well-defined process phases.
