Curriculum Mapping: Integrating Multiple Perspectives on the Curriculum

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

This article discusses a tool which may facilitate evaluating the quality of higher education curricula: the curriculum map. This map represents both components of curricula and their underlying relationships. However, the experiences with curriculum mapping in higher education are limited. We illustrated curriculum mapping with data from our university. The maps indicated omissions in information provided to the students, illustrated the coherence of the curriculum and the use of activating instructional methods. Despite its disadvantages, curriculum mapping appears a promising approach for evaluating the quality of higher education curricula.
