INTRODUCTION
Curriculum Development
Learning is enhanced when curriculum
and instruction integrate student experiences with the development of meaning.
Iran-Nejad, McKeachie, and Berliner (1990) state, "The more meaningful, the
more deeply or elaborately processed, the more situated in context, and the
more rooted in cultural, background, cognitive, and personal knowledge an event
is, the more readily it is understood, learned, and remembered" (p.
511).

state standards.
