Аннотация
The development of school curriculum is a complex problem that involves different perspectives of approach:
psychological, pedagogical, didactic, managerial, etc. This article attempts to define and characterize the notion of
„curricular development” from a modern and postmodern perspective. The development of school curriculum is presented in two senses: the conception of new school curriculum/discipline and the optimization, modernization, and
updating of the school curriculum in function. At the same time, a model of school curriculum development focused
on five steps is proposed: curriculum research/conceptualization; curriculum design; evaluation of the curriculum
project; curriculum validation; curriculum implementation/institutionalization. The substantiation of a curricular development model also involves an analysis of the problem in different countries, as sources for identifying theoretical
and praxiological benchmarks for carrying out this process.
Keywords: school curriculum, curricular development, curricular optimization, curricular updating, curricular
modernization, curricular research, curricular design, optimal curriculum.
