a) The three fundamental questions by Ralph Tyler that guide the Kenya curriculum development process are:<br /><br />1. What educational purposes should the school seek to attain?<br />2. What educational experiences can be provided that are likely to attain these purposes?<br />3. What is the best way to organize these experiences?<br />4. How can these purposes be assessed?<br /><br />These questions help in defining the goals of education, selecting appropriate learning experiences, organizing them effectively, and assessing the achievement of the educational objectives.<br /><br />b) Hilda Taba (1962) modified Ralph Tyler's curriculum development model in the following ways:<br /><br />1. Taba emphasized the importance of involving teachers in the curriculum development process. She believed that teachers should be actively involved in selecting and organizing learning experiences that are relevant to their students.<br /><br />2. Taba introduced the concept of "teacher-pupil interaction" in the curriculum development process. She believed that the interaction between teachers and students is crucial in shaping the learning experiences and outcomes.<br /><br />3. Taba added the step of "teacher-pupil interaction" between the selection of learning experiences and their organization. This step involves the teachers and students working together to modify and adapt the learning experiences to meet the specific needs and interests of the students.<br /><br />These modifications by Hilda Taba aimed to make the curriculum development process more participatory and responsive to the needs of the students.
