 Curriculum
Traditional view: Is more for teachers than it is
for pupils. If it cannot change, move, inform
teachers, it will have no effect on those whom
they teach. It must be first and foremost a
curriculum for teachers. If it has any effect on
pupils, it will have it by virtue of having had an
effect on teachers – Brunner, 1977

6
Decisions on what to teach and
what students need to learn –
decisions on how the
curriculum significantly
determine how well and how
much a pupil can learn.

7
A body of subjects and
subject matter prepared
by the teachers for the
students to learn.

8
Traditional View: The mission
of the school should be
intellectual training, hence
curriculum should focus on the
fundamental intellectual
disciplines of grammar,
literature and writing. - Arthur
Bestor, an essentialist

About Curriculum

10 Presentation title 20XX

To a progressivist, a listing school subjects,
syllabi, course of study, and list of courses or
specific discipline, DO NOT make
a curriculum. It is only called a curriculum if the
written materials are actualized by the learner.
Therefore, for them, curriculum is the total
learning experiences of an individual.
Progressivism emphasized how to think, not
what to think.

11
Total learning experiences of
individuals not only in the
school but in the society as
well.

12
John Dewey believes that
education is experiencing.
Reflective thinking is a
means that unifies curricular
elements that are tested by
application.

13
All experiences children
have under the guidance
of teachers - Caswell
and Campbell

14
Therefore, curriculum
decisions substantially
contribute to the kinds of
citizens and leaders a
community and a country has
today and will have in the
future.
