1. Diagnosis of Needs in
Curriculum Development

2. The first important step in determining
what the curriculum should be for a given
population is to diagnose its needs.
Diagnosis is an essential part of Curriculum
Development in order to attune it with the needs
of the times and of the learners and to help
determine which objectives to stress.
It should be a continuous part of on-going
curriculum and teaching.
Diagnostic evidence is also needed to gear plans and
expectations to the upper limits of potentiality
