Abstract: The purposeful, intentional, and structured arrangement of curriculum (instructional blocks) within a class or course is referred to as curriculum design. It is a method for teachers to prepare their lessons. Teachers plan instruction by determining what will be done, who will do it, and what timeline will be followed. Curriculum design focuses on the development of the overall course blueprint, including how to create a course outline and build the course, as well as how to map the curriculum to learning outcomes. Assessment tools, exercises, material, subject matter research, and immersive experiences are used to meet each learning outcome. This article covers the entire process of analyzing an existing course, finding the gaps, and applying the constructive alignment principle to fill those gaps. This article covers not only the background of constructive alignment but also the steps needed to apply the principle for designing assessments, evaluating assessments, and designing teaching-learning instructions and outcome-based education. The article concludes with a discussion on the use of constructive alignment for the various gaps found in the existing course curriculum.
