1. Education is a process of changing the behavior patterns of people. This is using behavior in the broad sense to include thinking and feeling as well as overt action. When education is perceived in this way, it is clear that educational objectives, then, represent the kinds of changes in behavior patterns of the students which the educational institution should seek to produce.
2. Learning should be meaningful to the student and his community, that it should be taught through appropriately designed and organized learning experiences, and that learning should be evaluated not only to see what students are really learning, but to see what changes might need to be made to the curriculum.
3. The four principles include: * Defining appropriate learning objectives. *Establishing useful learning experiences. *Organizing learning experiences to have a maximum cumulative effect. * Evaluating the curriculum and revising those aspects that did not prove to be effective
4. Evaluation is a necessity as a matter of evidence tied to fundamental school purposes

A truly educated person, Tyler seems to say, has not only acquired certain factual information but has also modified his/her behaviour patterns as a result.
