The word "curriculum" began as a Latin word which means "a race" or "the
course of a race" The first known use in an educational context is in
the Professio Regia, a work by University of Parisprofessor Petrus
Ramus published posthumously in 1576 The term subsequently appears
in University of Leiden records in 1582 The word's origins appear closely
linked to the Calvinist desire to bring greater order to education.
In education, a curriculum is broadly defined as the totality of student
experiences that occur in the educational process. The term often refers
specifically to a planned sequence of instruction, or to a view of the
student's experiences in terms of the educator's or school's instructional
goals. In a 2003 study Reys, Reys, Lapan, Holliday and Wasman refer to
curriculum as a set of learning goals articulated across grades that outline
the intended mathematics content and process goals at particular points in
time throughout the K12 school program. Curriculum may incorporate the
planned interaction of pupils with instructional content, materials,
resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational
objectives. Curriculum is split into several categories, the explicit, the
implicit the excluded and the extra-curricular
CURRICULUM
CONTENT
Curriculum has numerous definitions, which can be slightly confusing. In its
broadest sense a curriculum may refer to all courses offered at a school,
explicit. The intended curriculum, which the students learn through the
culture of the school, implicit. The curriculum that is specifically excluded,
like racism. Plus, the extra curricular activities like sports, and clubs. This is
particularly true of schools at the university level, where the diversity of a
curriculum might be an attractive point to a potential student.
A curriculum may also refer to a defined and prescribed course of studies,
which students must fulfill in order to pass a certain level of education. For
example, an elementary school might discuss how its curriculum, or its
entire sum of lessons and teachings, is designed to improve national
testing scores or help students learn the basics. An individual teacher might
also refer to his or her curriculum, meaning all the subjects that will be
taught during a school year.
On the other hand, a high school might refer to a curriculum as the courses
required in order to receive ones diploma. They might also refer to
curriculum in exactly the same way as the elementary school, and use
curriculum to mean both individual courses needed to pass, and the overall
offering of courses, which help prepare a student for life after high school.
CONCLUSION
Curriculum refers to the means and materials with which students will
interact for the purpose of achieving identified educational outcomes.
Arising in medieval Europe was the trivium , an educational curriculum
based up on the study of grammar , rhetoric and logic. The later quadrivium
(referring to four subject rather than three as represented by the trivium )
emphasized this study of arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy.
These seven liberal arts should sound a lot like what you experience during
your formal education.
An essential features of curriculum design, seen in every
college catalog and at every other levels of schooling, is the identification of
pre requisites for each course. these pre requisites means, such as work
experience. In general, more advanced courses in any subject require
departments, as in the sequence of math classes required for a physics
major, or the language requirements for students preparing in literature,
music or scientific research, a more detailed curriculum design must deal
with pre requisites with in a course for each topic taken up. This in turn
leads to the problems of course organization and scheduling once the
dependencies between topic are known
