Study Notes

Curriculum in Schools

Curriculum is the organized body of knowledge, skills, and experiences presented in schools.
It's found in all forms of education (formal, non-formal, and informal).
Without curriculum, classrooms would be empty, and teachers would have nothing to teach.

Types of Curricula

Recommended Curriculum: Broad guidelines set by educational agencies (DepEd, CHED, TESDA) for curriculum content and structure. This includes policies, standards, and recommendations.
Written Curriculum: More detailed documents based on the recommended curriculum. This includes syllabi, modules, lesson plans, and course outlines.
Taught Curriculum: The actual curriculum put into practice. This is influenced heavily by the teacher's teaching style and the learners' abilities.
Supported Curriculum: Resources like books, materials, labs, and facilities that support the learning process.
Assessed Curriculum: The process of evaluating learning outcomes through assessments, and can be for learning, as learning or of learning.
Learned Curriculum: The actual knowledge, skills, and behaviors acquired by the learner. This represents how successful the learning experience was.
Hidden/Implicit Curriculum: Unintentional lessons learned from the school environment, peer influences, culture, and societal influences.
