of Teacher Education and the T.T.I's Amharic instructors -
are well aloare of or/ and have a clear knowledge of the Tyler
Model, In connection with this, it attempts to clearly indicate
whether there i s any definite model that the concerned professionals
adhere to when developing a curriculum or/ and a
syllabus. To achieve these objectives, the necessary data were
collected, analysed ~nd discussed.

system in general and for the designing of the T.T.I. Amharic
syllabus in particular.

and developed on the basis of the Tyler Model. There has not
