The document discusses different types of curriculum, including the intended curriculum, implemented curriculum, achieved curriculum, tested curriculum, and hidden curriculum. It also defines curriculum as a list of subjects, learning experiences, intended learning outcomes, and planned learning experiences. The types of curriculum help to understand what is planned for students to learn, what is actually taught, what students achieve, and what is learned outside the classroom.

5. ABSTRACTION
Ever since the term curriculum was added to
educators' vocabularies, it has seemed to
convey many things to many people. To
some, curriculum has denoted a specific
course, while to others it has meant the
entire educational environment. Whereas
perceptions of the term may vary, it must be
recognized that curriculum encompasses
more than a simple definition. Curriculum is
a key element in the educational process; its
scope is extremely broad, and it touches
virtually everyone who is involved with
teaching and learning.

6. Definitions of
Curriculum

7. Definitions of Curriculum
Curriculum as a list of subjects – this definition suggests that curriculum is
the “permanent” or the traditional subjects offered in the school
curriculum such as Mathematics, Language, Science, Music, Arts, and
others.
Curriculum as learning experiences – This definition includes students’
curricular and co-curricular activities and the learning experiences they
encounter inside and outside the school. This definition includes the hidden
curriculum, or those things learned by the students as a result of their
experience in the school with peers, schoolmates, teacher, school staff or
the values they learned from a school program. In short, it includes the
school culture.

8. Definitions of Curriculum
Curriculum as intended learning outcomes – This
definition includes a list of learning competencies or
standards that students should learn in school.
Curriculum as planned learning experiences - This
includes documents specifying contents, objectives or
general ideas of what students should know in schools or
in a specific discipline.

9. Definitions of Curriculum
Curriculum as a discipline – curriculum as a discipline has its own principles,
theories, and practices.
A discipline-based curriculum approach characterizes teaching practice
within one subject and encourages teachers for specialization, depth of
content knowledge, and integrity to the conventions of their discipline. The
instructional emphasis of discipline-based curriculum tends to be on
specific, current, and factual information and skills as it emerges from the
discipline experts.
Curriculum as content or subject matter – This definition views curriculum
as a series of topics under each subject area.

10. It is important that curriculum workers have a common understanding of
what curriculum is. Their personal definition of curriculum defines the
curriculum product they will produce. Many curriculum projects fail, and
many curriculum researches appear vague because of unclear
understanding of the field of curriculum. Besides this, only few people
experts in curriculum studies, especially in the Philippines, who may be
consulted regarding these projects and researches.

11. Different Types of
Curriculum

12. Several scholars cited nine types of curriculum in their books depending on
how curriculum is used in various institutions.
1. Ideal or recommended Curriculum – This refers to what scholars propose as
the most appropriate curriculum for the learners. For example, different
professional organizations or various programs of study in different
University may propose curriculum innovations or alternative curriculum
content as a result of their researches.
• Ideal or recommended curriculum may also develop as an alternative
response to various curricular problems and issues. Glatthorn, Boschee and
Whitehead (2006) noted several influences that seem to play the key roles in
shaping the recommended curriculum. These influences are the professional
associations, individuals and societal trends.

13. 2. Intended, Official or Written Curriculum – This refers to the official
curriculum embodied in approved state curriculum guides. It is the curriculum
prescribed by the government. Examples of these curriculum are:
a.The Kindergarten Curriculum Standards
b.The K-12 Curriculum
c.CHED Curriculum for General Education
d.TESDA Modules and Competencies
3. Implemented Curriculum – This type of curriculum refers to the actual
implementation of the curriculum or what teachers in the school teach. In
many cases, teachers modify and improve their curriculum based on the needs
of students or whenever there are new ideas in various disciplines that are
important to teach to the students. (Academic Freedom)

14. 4. Achieved Curriculum or Learned Curriculum – This
refers to the result of the curriculum or what students actually
learned in school (Print, 1993). The achieved curriculum reveals
whether the students learned and whether the schools are
successful in attaining their curriculum goals and objectives.
5. Tested Curriculum – This is a set of learning that is
assessed in teacher-made classroom tests, curriculum-
referenced tests, and in standardized tests.
6. Entitlement Curriculum – it refers to what the people or
the general society believed the learners should expect to learn
in the educational system for them to become good members
of the society.

15. 7. Supported Curriculum – This refers to the curriculum that is
reflected on and shaped by the resources allocated to support
or deliver the official curriculum.
8. Null or Censored Curriculum – This refers to the curriculum
contents or topics that must not be taught to the students.
9. Hidden Curriculum – This refers to various skill, knowledge,
and attitudes that students learn in school as a result of their
interaction with other students, staff, and faculty members.
Although the hidden curriculum is not actually taught in formal
classroom learning, it is also true that the hidden curriculum can
be a product of the students’ schooling. The hidden curriculum
is very powerful in developing the school culture.

16. APPLICATION
1. Write a personal definition of curriculum.
Explain the definition.
2. Discuss the role of teachers and other
curriculum workers in ensuring the success of
the implemented curriculum.
