- 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.
