planned.

accomplished.

selecting content that is relevant
to the objectives and the learning
needs of the students.

content but must organize it in a
particular sequence taking into
consideration the maturity of learners,
their academic achievement and their
interests.
Selection of Learning Experiences

appropriate learning experiences
that will enable students to
achieve the objectives.
