CURRICULUM

What is a Curriculum?
A curriculum in education is the set of courses, learning
activities, and instructional materials that are used to
help students learn. It is typically designed by a school’s
faculty and administrators to meet the school’s
educational goals.
The curriculum is composed of both formal
and informal elements that contribute to a
student’s learning experience.

The curriculum is not only the content that

is taught, but also the context in which it is
taught, including the learning environment,
the instructional strategies, and the
assessment methods used.
Why Curriculum is important?
A curriculum is important because it provides a structure and
framework for teaching and learning.

It ensures that students are learning the same content, at the

same level, and in the same way.
It also helps teachers plan their instruction and track student
progress.
The curriculum also helps students gain knowledge and skills
that are necessary for success in college and the workplace
Importance of curriculum for teachers and
students:
For teachers, the importance of curriculum is in helping them to
plan their instruction and track student progress. It also helps
them to stay current on educational trends and be aware of any
changes in educational requirements.

For students, the importance of curriculum is in developing the

knowledge and skills they need to be successful in college and the
workplace.
Seven (7) Types of Curriculum

Recommended Curriculum: The Ministry of Education, the

Commission on Higher Education, or any professional
organization can recommend and implement a curriculum.
Written Curriculum: Refers to a lesson plan or syllabus written
by teachers. Another example is the one written by curriculum
experts with the help of subject teachers. This kind of written
curriculum needs to be pilot tested or tried out in sample schools
to determine its effectiveness.
Seven (7) Types of Curriculum

Taught Curriculum: This is about the implementation of the

written curriculum. Whatever is being taught or an activity
being done in the classroom is a taught curriculum

Supported Curriculum: The supported curriculum is about the

implementation of the written curriculum. Whatever is being
taught or activity being done in the classroom is a taught
curriculum.
Seven (7) Types of Curriculum

Assessed Curriculum: When students take a quiz or the mid-term

and final exams, these evaluations are the so-called assessed
curriculum.
Learned Curriculum: This type of curriculum indicates what the
students have learned. The capability that students should
demonstrate at the end of the lesson can be measured through
learning outcomes. A learning outcome can be manifested by
what students can perform or do either in their cognitive,
affective, or psychomotor domains.
Seven (7) Types of Curriculum

Hidden Curriculum: The hidden curriculum refers to the unplanned

or unintended curriculum but plays a vital role in learning.
It consists of norms, values, and procedures. See the three-
minute video below for more details.
