A, In terms of my past experiences with the Tyler Rationale, my teachers provided many different educational experiences in order to help us understand the curriculum. For example my grade 7 and 8 teacher often used different types of technology and media in assignments and explanations of the topic. Also, for the most part the curriculum was organized in ways that not only built on previous knowledge but also were closely related to previous knowledge. This creates a strong a stable structure for learning and allowed me as the student to know what we would be learning next.
B, One of the biggest limitations in my opinion is that this theory very much emphasizes teaching to the test. Teaching to the test greatly effects and decreases creativity in students and requires them to sit in desks all day and listen to the teacher with little movement or activity. Schools have always placed a high priority on students Another limitation is that it requires creating a clear plan about what needs to be taught and a certain amount of time for each goal that needs to be taught. This can be limiting as it requires a schedule that needs to be followed to the minute in order for everything to be taught. Teaching is a job that often requires flexibility and changing schedules. Therefore, having a teaching plan that requires careful scheduling can be difficult when schedules might have to be changed at the last minute and things might take or run longer than expected. C, One of the benefits of the Tyler Rationale is that it creates a well organized and structured learning environment. This can be beneficial as it also creates a sense of order and control where the teacher is able to teach more because the students are respectfully sitting and listening. In Saskatchewan our learning outcomes and indicators are clearly labelled in organized in the curriculum. This makes implementing this theory easier as the process of creating learning outcomes and indicators has already been done in a clear and concise way. The fact that they are already laid out makes it easier to show and share with others like school administrators and parents of the students.
