ABSTRACT

Planning is an ongoing concern in education. With the rapid changes in aesthetic approaches and photographic technology, curricular planning seems to have a real urgency. Having the faculty change, individuals' beliefs toward digital photography will have a longer lasting effect than will forcing through a curricular change. It is convenient for those involved in academic planning to consider that planning follows constructs found in the old academic area of 'Natural Philosophy' and in surfing. In the 19th century the sciences, both physical and social, were part of the study of Natural Philosophy. Models or paradigms for planning and implementation can be divided into three basic types: rational, transitional, and informal. Of the rational planning models, Project Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) is the most technical. This method is popular for large-scale construction and summarily complex implementation.
