Contemporary technological developments are among the most significant factors that have impacted the educational process. Educational tools have become an extension of human senses: radio extends hearing, and television extends sight. The intensive use of educational technology, programmed instruction, teaching machines, personal computer programs, e-learning, and teaching systems like Task Analysis and Competencies are specific examples of what modern technical developments have introduced into school curricula.

Methodological trends prevailing in education during a specific period also lead to changes in curricula. For example, 'new math' dominated American education in the 1960s, and behavioral objectives characterized the curricular movement in the 1970s, which relatively continues to this day. Vocational education, active learning, curriculum engineering, multiple intelligences, comprehensive assessment, and holistic education are other examples of methodological currents that have entered the world of education and influenced its inputs of information, activities, and methods.

This book is designed to benefit postgraduate students in faculties of education by introducing them to the most important modern trends in curricula and teaching methods. Chapter One deals with curriculum development from the perspective of curriculum engineering. Chapter Two covers e-learning, while Chapter Three discusses some teaching models. Chapter Four addresses active learning, Chapter Five examines multiple intelligences and the school curriculum, Chapter Six focuses on developing the training competencies of technical supervisors via the internet, and finally, Chapter Seven covers authentic educational assessment.
