Organizational processes are another internal factor that has many impacts on
the design of this curriculum. Organization processes can be conceived as, “the flow
of activities that must successfully link together for the curriculum development to be
successful”. This involves prioritizing, planning, and organizing the execution of the
curriculum program. Organization processes often dictate how a certain curriculum
should be developed or designed. This will affect the curriculum design, as some of
the organization processes will prove to be cumbersome.
In addition, internal review bodies is another internal factor that also have a lot
of impact on curriculum development in that they take months or years just to review
proposed curriculum. These bodies have responsibilities of ensuring that all the
curriculum programs designed at the learning institutions meet the set standards and
requirements. Thus, they have to evaluate the whole process to confirm that it
corresponds to the set standards,
External factors also affect curriculum design largely. The learning institution’s
stakeholders affect curriculum design in that they compete to have many impacts on
the control or all learning programs introduced in the institutions. Over the years,
development of curriculum in the education sector has faced with many challenges
mostly from ideological camps that compete for control over the curriculum taught in
higher learning institutions. Thus, the proposed nursing curriculum will experience a
lot of influences and pressures from both internal and external stakeholders, all trying
to have a say on how the development of the curriculum should be done.
