Concepts and Principles of
Curriculum. But first what is -curriculum is the total learning

- Okay, Very Good! So class,

curriculum is what taught in
school, a set of subjects, a
content, a program of studies, a
set of materials, a sequence of
course, a set of performance
objectives, everything that goes
within the school.

Fundamental concepts of
curriculum:

 Curriculum as a cumulative
tradition of organized
Knowledge
 Curriculum as an
experience

 Curriculum as an
instructional plan

 Curriculum as an
instructional outcome

Fundamental Principles for

Curriculum Contents
1. Balance- content should be
fairly distributed in depth and
breath. This will guarantee that
significant contents should be
covered to avoid too much or
too little of the contents needed
with in the time allocation.
2. Articulation- as the content
Detailed Lesson Plan Template

complexity progresses with the

educational levels, vertically or
horizontally, across the same
discipline smooth connections
or bridging should be provided.
This will assure no gaps or
overlaps in the content.
3. Sequence- the logical
arrangement of the content
refers to sequences or order.
This can be done for deepening
the content or horizontally for
broadening the same content.
4. Integration- content in the
curriculum does not stand alone
or in isolation. It has some ways
of relatedness or connectedness
to other contents.
5. Continuity- content when
viewed as a curriculum should
continuously flow as it was
before, to where it is now, and
where it will be in the future.
6. Scope- the breadth and depth
of the curriculum content are
vital in a curriculum. Scope
consists of all the contents,
topics, learning experiences
comprising the curriculum.

Foundations of Curriculum
1. Philosophical Foundations-
educators, teachers, educational
planners and policy makers
must have a philosophy or
strong belief about education
and schooling and the kind of
curriculum in the teacher’s
classrooms or learning
environment.
2. Historical Foundation- where
is the curriculum development
coming? The historical
foundations will show to us the
chronological development
along a time line. Reading
materials would tell us that
curriculum development started
with Franklin Bobbit (1876-
1956) wrote the book “The
 Detailed Lesson Plan Template

Curriculum”.
3. Psychological Foundation of
Curriculum- psychology
provides a basis to understand
the teaching and learning
process.
4. Sociological Foundation-
education is one of the
significant elements of the
society. It is regarded as one of
the aspects of cultural and
social change. Education
reflects the cultural, political
and social conditions ass well
as attributes of a change. Since
the education system of a
society is the reflection of the
culture and values of that
society, the basis for the system
gets provided by the same
social and cultural values.

VI. Reflections
The fundamental concepts and principles of curriculum revolve around the idea of
providing a framework for organizing and delivering educational experiences. As I reflect on
these concepts, I recognize the importance of curriculum that is both relevant and
meaningful for students.
The curriculum ensures that students are provided with the knowledge, skills, and
attitudes necessary to succeed in their future endeavors. By aligning the curriculum with the
intended outcomes, educators can effectively guide students towards achieving their goals.
This principle emphasizes the importance of recognizing and valuing individual uniqueness,
fostering an inclusive learning environment. A curriculum should also promote various forms
of engagement and active participation. It should be designed to capture students' interest and
motivation by incorporating practical and real-world applications. By doing so, it not only
enhances students' understanding but also encourages critical thinking and problem-solving
skills.
Furthermore, a curriculum should be cyclic and flexible, allowing for regular
evaluation and revision. This ensures that it remains relevant and reflects evolving societal
needs and educational research. It also provides an opportunity for educators to reflect on
their teaching practices and make necessary adjustments to optimize student learning.
As educators, it is essential to understand and apply these fundamental concepts and
principles when developing and implementing a curriculum. By doing so, we can create a
learning environment that caters to the needs of all students and promotes lifelong learning.
