Activity 1. Curriculum Defined

Persons Interviewed Answer to Question:

What is curriculum to you?
Elem Grades Teacher Curriculum provides a measurable plan and
structure for delivering a quality education. It is
also a specific learning standard, lesson,
assignment and materials to organize and teach a
particular course.

School Principal List of courses offered to a particular program.

College Teacher 1. Curriculum is a group of courses offered
in a particular field of study.
2. Curriculum is the backbone of the
system. It is the set of structures that
organize the different educational target
points like lessons, competencies,
assessments, and more betterment of
the teaching and learning process of the
educational system.
3. Curriculum is the outline of the whole
program or subject. Curriculum set a
certain standard in relation to the
content and objectives of the whole
program.

Student Teacher Expectation for what will be taught and what

Non – Education college student
student will do in the program of study.
Curriculum is a specific outline of planned
educational instruction that helps the students to
experience the totality of life that would prepare
them in their everyday lives.

 All of the definition has almost the same thought, Curriculum is the central guide for all
educators. It serves as an outline of concepts to be taught to students to help them meet the
content standards. Curriculum is what is taught in a given course or subject. Curriculum refers to
an interactive system of instruction and learning with specific goals, contents, strategies,
measurement, and resources. However, it differs when it comes to college and school principal
as their definition of curriculum also focuses about courses offered in a particular field of study,
compare to elementary grade teacher as the system of education does not offer courses. For the
Student teacher point of view, it is typically referring to the knowledge and skills students are
expected to learn, the meaning is almost the same to all the person that I’ve interviewed, it only
differs on the sentence the way it is constructed. All in all they have different way on how they
are going to define curriculum depending on their profession.
