About Us

Picture
The Curriculum Development Unit (CDU) of Mary Immaculate College, which was established in 1986, is a nationally recognised centre of excellence in terms of curricular design and innovation. It promotes high standards in teaching and learning by undertaking research into the curriculum and methodology of the primary school and early childhood care and education. This research informs the development of resource materials that are embedded in the latest thinking and ideas about education. The projects which are conducted under the auspices of the Unit are of three principal types:

(i) The design and implementation of curricular programmes in areas which do not form part of the standard curriculum.

(ii) The investigation of different aspects of the established primary school curriculum in order to evaluate its effectiveness, to identify constraints to its proper implementation, and to propose approaches aimed at overcoming these problems..

(iii) The development of resource materials which will support teachers and other professionals in implementing all aspects of the curriculum.
