Eisner: Systemic-Aesthetic Model
Elliott Eisner (1991) offers a systemic and dimensional view of curriculum that combines behavioral principles with aesthetic components to form a curriculum planning model. Eisner indicated that if America is going to have the kind of schools it needs, it will need to pursue five dimensions: (a) intentional, (b) structural, (c) curriculum, (d) pedagogical, and (e) evaluative (see Figure 3).
