Likewise, CMM is also used in the education sector for a similar purpose. This paper presents, in particular, a proposed maturity model for curriculum design for Institutions of Higher Learning in Malaysia. The Curriculum Design Maturity Model ONE (CDMM-1) is specifically aimed at guiding curriculum designers in producing quality curricula according to programme specifications. In this study, CDMM-1, which is derived from the proposed maturity model, has both process and product components. However, this paper only focuses on the product quality aspect. %K Curriculum Designer %K Capability Maturity Model %K Curriculum Design %K Quality Curriculum %K Institution of Higher Learning %U http://www.jscse.com/papers/?vol=2&no=10&n=1
