MODULE 2:

THE TEACHER AS A KNOWER


OF CURRICULUM
Lesson 2.1 : The School

and Scope
CURRICULUM
comes from the latin word
“curere” referring to the oval
track upon which Roman
chariots raced.
SOME DEFINITIONS OF
CURRICULUM
Curriculum is a planned and guided set of
learning experiences and intended
outcomes, formulated through the
systematic reconstruction of knowledge and
experience under the auspices of the school,
for the learners’ continuous and
willful growth in personal social
competence”
(DANIEL TANNER, 1080)

systematically describes goals
planned, objectives,content,
learning activities evaluation
procedures and so forth.
(Pratt, 1980)
SOME DEFINITIONS OF

The content of a subject, concepts,
and tasks to be acquired, planned
activities, the desired learning
outcomes and experiences, a product
of culture, and an agenda from
society to make up a curriculum
(Schubert, 1987)
SOME DEFINITIONS OF

A curriculum includes all of the experiences
that individual learners have in a
program of education whose purpose is to
achieve broad goals and related specific
objectives, which is planned in terms of a
framework of theory and research or past
and present professional practice.

CURRICULUM FROM TRADITIONAL
POINT OF VIEWS

ROBERT M. HUTCHINS views curriculum as


“permanent studies” where rules of
grammar, reading, rhetoric, logic, and
mathematics for basic education are
emphasized.
CURRICULUM FROM TRADITIONAL
POINT OF VIEWS

Arthur Bestor as an essentialist believes


that the mission of the school should be
intellectual training, hence curriculum
should focus on the fundamental
intellectual disciplines of grammar, and
writing. It should include mathematics,
science, history and foreign language.
CURRICULUM FROM TRADITIONAL
POINT OF VIEWS

Joseph Schwab thinks that the sole source of the


curriculum is a discipline, thus the subject areas
such as Science, Mathematics, Social Studies,
English, and many more. In college, academic
disciplines are labeled as humanities, sciences,
languages, and mathematics among others. He
coined the word discipline as a ruling doctrine for
curriculum development.
CURRICULUM FROM TRADITIONAL
POINT OF VIEWS

Phillip Phenix asserts that


curriculum should consist entirely
of knowledge that comes from
various disciplines.
CURRICULUM FROM PROGRESSIVE
POINTS OF VIEW
On the other hand, a listing of school
subjects, syllabi, course of study, and
specific discipline does not make a
curriculum. In its broadest terms, a
progressive view of curriculum is the total
learning experiences of the individual. Let
us look into how curriculum is defined from
a progressive point of view.
CURRICULUM FROM PROGRESSIVE
POINTS OF VIEW

John Dewey believes that education


is experiencing. Reflective thinking
is a means that unifies curricular
elements that are tested by
application.
CURRICULUM FROM PROGRESSIVE
POINTS OF VIEW

Holin Caswell and Kenn Campbell


viewed curriculum as all
experiences children have under
the guidance of teachers.
CURRICULUM FROM PROGRESSIVE
POINTS OF VIEW

Othaniel Smith, William Stanley and


Harlan Shore likewise defined
curriculum as a sequence of potential
experiences, set up in schools for the
purpose of disciplining children and
youth in group ways of thinking and
acting.
CURRICULUM FROM PROGRESSIVE
POINTS OF VIEW

Colin Marsh and George Willis also


viewed curriculum as all the
experiences in the classroom that are
planned and enacted by the teacher
and also learned by the students.
CONCLUSION
CURRICULUM is what is taught in
school, a set of subjects, a content, a
program of studies, a set of materials, a
sequence of courses, a of performance
objectives, everything that goes within
the school.
