I. FORMULATING THE STATEMENT OF THE PHILOSOPHY
Philosophies are the beliefs and standards of the persons who starts a program.The philosophy serves as a framework within which an organization, school or college or educational program can function with an objective and purpose.The philosophy is expressed in different ways as the quality of education, selection, of teachers and students.
GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
An educational philosophy states the values which are believed to be right, true and good by the persons responsibilities for the school or college.An educational philosophy will be unique to the particular society and individual whom it serves.All teaching staff should participate in the formulation of the school philosophy or college philosophy.
College or school philosophy is used as a screen.College or school philosophy should not conflict with the philosophy of the institution of which it is a part.College or school philosophy should be re – examined periodically to determine its suitability in the light of the changing conditions.
II. AIMS GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The term ‘Purposes’ refers to describe the overall goals of the total education program and the term ‘objective’ refers to the breakdown of purposes into the specific goals which can be used to pinpoint the content.The objective is developed to indicate what changes in behavior it is hoped to bring about in the student as a result of the courses being offered.
FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED

IV. ORGANIZATION & INTEGRATION OF EXPERIENCIES & CONTENTThe major task to be attempted
in phase IV is the combining of information about experiences, including developmental sequences & stage discovered in phase II.
With information derived from the taxonomic analyses of phase III in order to setup educational experiences designed to achieve the goals of phase I
Phase IV is concerned with educational sequences, this is with sequences of selected experiences with content planned to produce certain behavior within the general areas of understandings, sensitivities, feelings, attitudes, values and skill.
ORGANIZATION OF LEARNING EXPERIENCEAfter the content knowledge & learning
experiences have been selected carefully in relation to be desired objectives, they must organized in the curriculum.
The element of the curriculum should be relative to one another vertical & horizontally, so that systematic body of ideas and activities will be expanded continuously into larger and more meaningful patterns.
