(the teacher), to mould his material (the pupil), according to his
ideal (objective) in his studio (the school).
Hilda Taba: Curriculum is a plan for learning
John Dewey: Curriculum is defined as the total learning
experiences of the individual
Tyler: A course of study on a specific topic includes all the
learning experiences of the students as planned and
directed by the school to attain its educational goals
Crow & Crow: "Curriculum includes all the learners experience
in or outside the school that are included in a programme which
has been devised to help him to develop mentally, physically,
emotionally, spiritually and morally."
The secondary education Commission: Curriculum does not
mean academic subjects traditionally taught in the school, but it
includes the totality of experiences a pupil receives through
manifold activities that go in the school, in the class room,
library, laboratory, workshop, playground and in numerous
informal contacts between teacher and pupils.
