As for phase one or needs analysis on indigenous school children for a Garden Based Curriculum on nutritious fruits and vegetables, this was carried out by interviewing 12 school teachers experienced in teaching Semai ethnic indigenous school children. Phase two involving design and development which developed the curriculum model using Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach involves 11 experts from various related disciplines. Data interpretations are based on the position of an element from the aspects of Driving Power and Dependent Power. Phase three or usability evaluation was done by experimentation based on the developed model by testing it on a 37 standard five Semai indigenous students. Evaluations were based on the Stake Countenance of Educational Evaluation Model by semi-structured interviews with 10 indigenous school children (pre and post suitability). Selection was through purposive sampling based on the required criteria.
