Study Notes
Introduction to Curriculum
- The presentation begins with an Islamic salutation, "بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم" (Bismillah al-Rahman al-Raheem), meaning "In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."
- The presentation's title is "Chapter One: Key Terms and Concepts" by Dr. Asmaa Zedan El Sayed.
- A question is posed: "Can you think of a good definition for "curriculum?"
- A YouTube video link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N QmuywW-qTc) is provided for further information about the curriculum.
- The audience is asked to consider if the video provides a comprehensive idea of the curriculum.
Traditional Perspective of Curriculum
- In the early 20th century, the traditional view considered the curriculum as a formal document.
- This document served as a plan or course of action for achieving instructional goals.
- A body of subjects or subject matter was designed by teachers for student learning.
- Curriculum was essentially synonymous with "course of study" or "syllabus."
Progressive Perspective of Curriculum
- Curriculum is seen as a plan for achieving goals and objectives.
- It's a set of learning activities.
- Its aim is for students to attain goals set by the educational system.
Components of Curriculum
- Curriculum encompasses the subjects and activities that the school system is responsible for.
- It defines the learning environment.
- It specifies activities and processes within formal educational institutions.
- No educational institution can exist without a curriculum.
- A broader perspective sees curriculum as all student learning experiences, not just the syllabus.
Development of the Concept of Curriculum
-
Traditional view focused on a list of subjects taught.
-
The curriculum was defined as what was taught in schools, primarily focusing on academic subjects.
-
A syllabus was viewed as a summary statement outlining course or subject content.
-
A more recent view of curriculum considers performance objectives and specific competencies that learners must attain.
-
These competencies should be comprehensive and cover the lifespan of each student.
-
Attributes such as communication skills, civic participation, and well-being are considered important parts of an improved curriculum.
Inclusive Curriculum
- Curriculum is defined as selected, organized, integrative, innovative, and evaluative educational experiences.
- These experiences are provided purposefully to students, either explicitly or implicitly, to achieve learning outcomes.
- These goals are designed to enable students' growth, development, and preparation for a modern and evolving society.
