Abstract :This paper aims to propose the implementation of a smart curriculum via different algorithms based on operational research methods. The study is a theoretical and qualitative study made with the document analysis method. A theoretical structure has been tried to be created by obtaining the data from studies related to the concept of smart education. A smart curriculum can be defined as a new type of curriculum having the features of adaptation, sensing (awareness), inferring (logical reasoning), self-learning, anticipation, and selforganizations and restructuring feedback to adapt itself the various differentiated instructional methods. When dealing with complicated implementation issues, operational research (OR) is the field that makes use of models, either quantitative or qualitative, to assist in decision-making. For more than 50 years, emergency medicine and the interface between acute and community care, hospital performance, scheduling and management of patient home visits, scheduling patient appointments, and a variety of other complex implementation problems with an operational or logistical nature have been addressed using OR methods in different fields. In this respect, we theoretically show how to implement those methods based on algorithms in the smart curriculum development process via different algorithms and the methods regarding intelligence theories. More detailed algorithms can be proposed in curriculum evaluation and development models.
