Sequencing contents is of great importance for instructional design within the teaching planning processes. We believe that it is key for a meaningful learning. Therefore, we propose to formally establish a partial order relation among the contents. We have chosen the binary relation "to be a prerequisite" for that purpose. We have applied this approach to the mathematical contents of the compulsory Secondary Education of the Spanish educational system and the information obtained has been modeled as a graph. The amount of contents considered (814) and the number of ordered pairs in the order relation considered (17,782) has produced a big graph. In order to work effectively with that amount of data, we have used software specialized in network analysis. More precisely, we have used the software packages Pajek and Gephi. This software, together with the use of techniques borrowed from graph theory, has allowed providing a tool for debugging curriculum developments (similar to rule based expert systems verification).

“…There exist a wide range of theories and associated methods associated with structural knowledge but they share the common goal of controlling the complexity of the relationships that exist in structural knowledge (Jonassen, 1993). Methods include: hierarchical structured relationships (Meyer, 1985); slots and frames (Minsky, 1975); elaboration theory (Reigeluth, 1979); special semantic maps (Larkin, 1987) to name but a few. Methods such as these are designed to identify and improve poorly designed content.…”

Three principle approaches to education are behaviorism, constructivism and cognitive science. However beyond that there are a wide and diverse range of methods such as outcomes based education, problem based learning etc. All these approaches and methods have their associated advantages and disadvantages. The effectiveness of the educational process is measured by a learning taxonomy such as Bloom or Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO). The paper links the cognitive science approach with the SOLO taxonomy as the basis of a quantitative approach to measuring cognitive load which is a measure of mental effort. This can then be used as the basis of curriculum design in order to optimize learning outcomes.

“…The teaching process involves comprehending and improving teaching methods, which in turn assist students in controlling themselves during the learning process. According to [11], the purpose of teaching is to continue to improve the process by rendering it more effective, productive and attractive. [9] also states that students can choose to control the elements of teaching strategies as they construct a macro prescriptive framework for selecting, sequencing, synthesizing and summarizing content.…”

THE TEACHER ATTITUDES TOWARD THE LEARNER CONTROL STRATEGY ABSTRACTThe major purpose of this research was to examine the uses' level of learner control strategy by teachers as general in their courses. For this study, data were collected from 219 state primary school teachers, including Turkish, English, math, science, social science, religion and morality, and computer-technology teachers in the province of Adana, Turkey, during the 2010-2011 academic year. The data were gathered by administering the learner control strategy questionnaire (for teachers) that was developed by the researcher, who collected the data from participating schools over a span of a month. The frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations were considered in the data analysis, which was performed using spss for windows 11.5. The data analysis showed that the means of items 13 (my students can express their views on the length of each lesson), 21 (my students can decide what courses they should take) and 22 (my students can choose what topics, units or parts of units that they want to study) were low, whereas the means of the other items on the questionnaire were high.
