Taylor's/objective model ( most popular in curriculum field ):

-Involves 4 stages which are objective, content, method ( the activity doing in the class with the student) and evaluation ( to measure the attaiment of the objective)

-Want to make sure it is meaningful outside at the school

-Should be specified precisely what is supposed to be learned

Interaction/Diamond model
