Responding of Taylor’s Theory

Taylor’s theory has been widely used in schools. For example, in my high school class, the teacher will first tell the students the topic they are studying today. Then, the teacher will plan the content of this class, such as how many formulas are taught in this class. The final quiz tests the students’ learning level. The teacher will observe what happens to the students when the class is over.Focus on goals,efficiency and behavior control.They often promote the acquisition of knowledge by controlling students behavior and their own teaching methods.

But Taylor’s theory greatly limits the creativity of the curriculum. The model is more mechanized. Such a unified teaching curriculum will also ignore the particularities of different schools. The target model overestimates our ability to understand the educational process and predict learning outcomes.Measuring success and failure of courses and teaching solely on the basis of changes in students behavior can lead to some misunderstandings. Students as a group will also be suppressed, and this phenomenon will make the curriculum a way to adapt to society.

The advantage of this theory is that it has strong operability. It also provides feedback that can be used to modify course plans.Tyler rationale has been used as the basic framework.It determines the basic idea and scope of curriculum development and research. The logic is rigorous, and at the same time it has a certain guidance.
