that students are expected to learn and acquire during their studies. The
curriculum outlines the goals, objectives, and learning outcomes for each
subject or course, as well as the methods and strategies used for instruction
and assessment. It serves as a guide for teachers and educators to ensure
that students receive a well-rounded and comprehensive education.
Curriculum as a list of subjects
This definition suggests that curriculum includes the “permanent” or the
traditional subjects offered in the school curriculum such as Mathematics,
Language, Science, Music, Arts, and others.

Curriculum as learning experiences

This definition includes students 'curricular and co-curricular activities and the
learning experiences encounter inside or outside the school.
In short curriculum includes all learning opportunities that brings about changes
in the knowledge, skills and attitudes of students.

Curriculum as intended learning outcomes

This definition includes a list of learning competences or standards that students
should learn in school.
In designing a lesson, so important to align the learning outcomes with the
learning competencies prescribe in course.

 TYPES OF
CURRICULUM
1. Subject-Centered Curriculum: refers to a teaching approach that primarily focuses on
the subject matter of a specific discipline, such as mathematics, science, or history. This
model of curriculum design emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge and skills related to
the subject, often through a systematic and hierarchical curriculum design. It is divided
into subject areas, and there is little flexibility for cross-curricular activity, meaning each
subject is distinct and there is little focus on making cross-curricular links. This type of
learning focuses on the subject, rather than the individual.

2. Learner-Centered Curriculum: A learner-centered
curriculum is an educational approach that prioritizes the
needs, interests, abilities, and learning styles of the students.
It is a pedagogical strategy that places the learner at the center
of the learning process, empowering them to take an active
role in their own education.

knowledge. The curriculum is designed to promote student
engagement, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

7 . Spiral Curriculum: A spiral curriculum is designed to revisit and
build upon previously learned concepts and skills over time. It
introduces topics at a basic level and then revisits them in subsequent
years, gradually increasing the complexity and depth of
understanding. This approach aims to reinforce and consolidate
learning over time.

8. Experiential Curriculum: Experiential curriculum focuses on
learning through direct experiences and active engagement. It often
includes field trips, internships, simulations, and hands-on activities
that allow students to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.
This type of curriculum emphasizes practical skills, problem-solving,
and critical thinking.
