WHAT IS CURRICULUM?

TYPES OF CURRICULUM

Written CurriculumThe Written Curriculum is

the published curriculum that is part of the formal education. The Written Curriculum includes course objectives, course guides, lesson plans, course material and grading criteria.

Hidden CurriculumThe Hidden, or Covert,

Curriculum refers to messages communicated by an organization that are implied. The Hidden Curriculum may have more influence than the Written Curriculum because it is based on the norms and values of the organization.

TYPES OF CURRICULUM

Null CurriculumThe Null Curriculum represents the material or subjects

that are not being taught as part of the Written Curriculum. Due to limited resources or an emphasis on purely academic courses, not all material or subjects will be taught. When subjects such as music or art are not included in the Written Curriculum and thus form part of the Null Curriculum, students may believe these subjects have minimal value.

TYPES OF CURRICULUM

Tested CurriculumThe Tested, or Assessed,

Curriculum is the body of information on which students will be tested. Teachers may prefer to teach material that will be tested on state or school tests to improve their success rates.

TYPES OF CURRICULUM

Electronic CurriculumThe Electronic Curriculum includes all learning

activities that are Internet-based. By acknowledging the existence of the issues to be considered with the electronic curriculum, educators must take into consideration the credibility of information on the Internet. Students must develop critical-learning skills to determine the quality of information they are researching.

WHAT IS CURRICULUM PLANNING?

THE NEED FOR EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE CURRICULUM PLANNING

The need for Exactness and Particularity in making decisions about ends and means demands scientific curriculum planning.

Curriculum planning develop well-coordinated, quality teaching, learning and assessment programs, which build students’ knowledge, skills and behaviors in the disciplines, as well as their interdisciplinary and/or physical, personal and social capacities.

The full range of learning needs of students are addressed

IMPORTANCE OF CURRICULUM PLANNING

“ Unplanned teaching and learning is a recipe of wasting time” Curriculum planning develop well-coordinated, quality

teaching, learning and assessment programs, which build students’ knowledge, skills and behaviors in the disciplines, as well as their interdisciplinary and/or physical, personal and social capacities.

Curriculum planning ensures: a shared vision shared understandings and a common language in the

school community optimum coverage of all domains within the curriculum continuity of learning between domains across year levels the full range of learning needs of students are addressed


Students are given opportunities to develop deep understanding cohesiveness in teaching, learning and assessment practices elimination of repetition of learning activities without depth or

breadth across levels improved student learning outcomes.

“ The curriculum is likely to be good one if there is good curriculum planning; and conversely, the curriculum is likely to be mediocre one if there is a mediocre curriculum planning.”


Difference between Curriculum Innovation and Curriculum ChangeWith curriculum innovation, you would be teaching the subject in a new way, perhaps connected with other activities while a change in curriculum will affect the subjects being taught.

INNOVATION AND CURRICULUM CHANGE

INNOVATION AND CURRICULUM CHANGECurriculum innovation and change means finding a new way to convey learning subjects in classrooms or lecturers. It is an initiative that has come due to the need to have career oriented learning, as well as utilizing the learners' skills. It can mean a change in syllabus or new training for teachers.

Change is an ongoing, almost unconscious process that involves reworking familiar elements into new relationship; innovation , is a willed intervention, which results in the development of ideas, practices, or beliefs that are fundamentally new (miles 1964; A. Nicholls 1983).

Changes Immanent Change Propose solutions to a perceived problem are all

part of the same social system. Internal change agents and promotes ownership .Induced

immanent change occurs when outsiders identify problems but insiders develop the solutions to these problems

Selective contact change Occurs when insiders select an innovation that comes

from outside their social system.


Directed contact change Occurs when outside change agents introduce new ideas

or practices into a social system in order to fulfill goals that they (rather than the intended users) have determined are important

Management theory “ The planning of work, organizing the distribution of

activities and tasks to other people, direction of subordinate staff and controlling the performance of other peoples’ work


CONCLUSIONS

Innovation is a time bound phenomenon, and change is always constrained by sociocultural factors, individuals’ psychological profiles, and the attributes that potential adopters perceive a given innovation to posses.

Curricular innovation is a managed process of development whose principal products are teaching (and/or testing) materials, methodological skills, and pedagogical values that are perceived as new by potential adopters
