Conclusions
Curriculum is about achieving the expected learning
outcomes and learning objectives, the unit and lessons to be taught by the
teacher, assignments and projects given to the students, and the
instructional materials used in the process of learning and also the tests,
assessments and other techniques and methods used to evaluate the
learning of the students. We have different definition of curriculum but it
has the same taught and idea.
learning process. Teachers develop their own curricula to refine and improve
it, but some teachers commonly adapt and used the lessons and syllabi
created by other teachers. To create modify their own curricula, they used
the curriculum templates and guides to structure their courses and lessons.
But in some cases, the school themselves purchases comprehensive and
multigrade curriculum packages in particular subject area like mathematics
that the subject teachers are required to used and follow.

Why curriculum is
important?
Curriculum serves as a framework of what school is.
It is the skill, knowledge and competency that is
taught and learned in the learning and teaching
process. Without a curriculum, learning is like a ship

Curriculum can be approached or seen in three (3) ways. It can be
defined as content, a process or as an outcome. First, is to approach it as
content or body of knowledge to be transmitted. Second, is to approach it
as a product or the learning outcomes desired of learners. Third, is to
approach it as a process or what actually happens in the classroom when
the curriculum is practiced.
