A target-driven core curriculum development

ABSTRACT

This paper introduces a systematic method of target-driven core curriculum development scheme, including both theory courses and laboratory practice. Based on a concrete core training target which emphasis on operability and measur-ability, we composed a have-to-know and have-to-do list for the students. After analyzing it thoroughly, we framed a teaching and learning hierarchy and spread it into 4 year courses. The method shows a better operability, measur-ability and traceability than those traditional curriculum development methods. The paper is organised as follows, the 1st section states the problem; the 2nd introduces the scheme; the 3rd provides an example of the scheme; the 4th is the conclusion and future work.
