Study Notes

Basics of School Curriculum

Prepared by a group of faculty members from the Department of Curricula and Instruction, Faculty of Education, Ain Shams University in 2023.
Document covers the basics of school curriculum, including chapters on introduction to the study of curriculum, curriculum system and elements, curriculum construction & planning bases, science curriculum designs, approaches of curriculum building and organization, global trends in constructing and developing science curricula.

Chapter 1 - Introduction to Curriculum Studies

By the end of the chapter, students should be able to: define curriculum (traditional and modern concepts), compare the modern and traditional curriculum, criticize the traditional curriculum, list factors that contributed to curriculum development, explain learning experiences, differentiate between hidden and official curriculum elements (curriculum design, curriculum map, curriculum construction, curriculum evaluation), and distinguish different types of learning experiences.
Introduction: The word curriculum derives from the Latin verb "currere" meaning "to run." It evolved from the concept of a "race track" to referencing the "course of one's life."
The traditional concept of a curriculum is focused on a set of information and concepts that schools provide to prepare students for life. This view considered curriculum as a set of courses. The typical traditional curriculum focuses on determining the necessary information, preparing textbooks, and distributing subjects over the year based on specialists' input.
Critiques of the traditional curriculum: neglect of student needs, neglecting behavior modification (believing knowledge alone shapes a student's behavior), lacking appreciation for individual differences, neglecting the formation of positive habits/attitudes.
Curriculum inflation, lack of practical studies, poor communication, pupil boredom and increased dropout rates. The modern concept of curriculum differs markedly, focusing more on a wider range of experiences than solely acquiring knowledge.

Learning outcomes: Students should be able to explain science curriculum designs; clarify the approaches and their differences; outline the advantages and disadvantages of various designs; and describe the significance of project curricula.
Curriculum types: Separate subject, Correlated subject, Broad field (interdisciplinary), Activity.

Chapter 5 - Approaches of Curriculum Building and Organization

Prepared by Dr. Esam Mohamed Sayed.

Chapter 6 - Global Trends in Constructing and Developing Science Curricula

Prepared by Prof. Dr. Moharam Yahia Mohamed Afifi.
Chapter objectives: Students should be able to discuss global experiments for developing science curricula relating to 21st-century skills, STEM, the K-12 framework, and next-generation science standards (NGSS).
