Curriculum as Planned Learning
The definition focuses on well-written planning documents specifying aims, goals,
objectives and evaluation. Sometimes, this approach becomes dogmatic so that
unplanned learnings are unfortunately excluded from the curriculum.
Curriculum as a Holistic Experience
This approach involves the sum of the meanings students experience as thy engage
in the activities of the school, both planned and unplanned. It makes the tasks of the
school very broad and makes it difficult for teachers to identify and assess
experiences of true educative value.
Curriculum as Personal Learning
This definition focuses on the personal and social character of the curriculum. It
emphasizes the individual’s own capacity to direct his or her life. This approach
suggests that school has no special responsibility for one’s learning as both school
and life provide the context for individual choices.
Curriculum as Interrelated Plans and Experiences
This more recent approach focuses on teachers’ planning and students’ experiences
under the guidance of the school. However, this approach assumes a high level of
teacher and student involvement in the curriculum, and also that planned and
unplanned can be effectively integrated within the context of a program. This
requires a flexible teachers and responsive students.
Curriculum as Mass and Matter
This kind of curriculum lends itself to a linear sequence of neatly packaged lessons
presented by the teacher. The role of information in such a curriculum is very tightly
defined . . . as something akin to processed food. Five hundred years of history are
boiled down into a mere 500 pages of text. The textbook keeps only the most
important facts. Even so, there is never enough time to get through it all. It's like
rolling boulders up a steep hill. Trying to get the kids to remember all those facts at
least until the test or the exam .
