Curriculum Implementation
- Involves active participation of teachers and learners to share ideas and enhance learning.
- Defined as the "actual use" of a curriculum, focusing on practical application.
- Teachers play a crucial role in either facilitating or hindering curriculum success.
- Planned curriculum allows for continuous review and innovation to better meet learner needs.
- Changes in knowledge, actions, and attitudes are essential during implementation, demanding time for teachers to gain competence.
Curriculum Content
- Comprises systematically arranged bodies of knowledge relevant to societal needs.
- Subjects include Mathematics, Science, Technology, Languages, Geography, and Agricultural Sciences.
- Encompasses necessary skills and considers ideological, vocational, and technical perspectives.
- Content must be structured into programs of activities with carefully selected materials and equipment for practical outcomes.
Curriculum Resources

- Types of instructional materials include:
- Audio Aids: Materials appealing to hearing (e.g., recordings on various formats).
- Visual Aids: Materials visible to students (e.g., pictures and slides).
- Audio-Visual Materials: Combine both audio and visual stimuli (e.g., films, TV programs).
- Computer-Assisted Instruction: Use of computers for interactive learning (e.g., drills and tutorials).
- Electronic Distance Learning: Facilitates interaction between teacher and students via electronic means.
- Online Education Resources (OERs): Internet-based materials including textbooks and research findings, enhancing teacher flexibility and student access.
- Instructional Facilities: Physical spaces such as classrooms, labs, libraries, and sports fields facilitating learning.
