3. HIDDEN CURRICULUM
 The term “Hidden Curriculum” was coined by Philip
Jackson.
 People learn things that are not actually taught in the
formal curriculum.
 It is described as “hidden” because it is usually
unacknowledged or unexamined by students, educators
and the wider community.

4. MEANING OF HIDDEN CURRICULUM
 A hidden curriculum is the implicit education that
surrounds and underlies our explicit curriculum.
 Formal curriculum consists of the courses, lessons and
learning activities as well as the knowledge and skills
educators.
 Hidden curriculum consists of the unspoken or implicit
academic, social and cultural messages.

5. Role of Hidden Curriculum in Developing
Resilience in Children
 A sense of belonging to school is a significant protective
factor for young people and contributes to building
resilience.
 It is associated with positive health and academic
outcomes.
 School connectedness is also associated with a range of
physical health and mental health outcomes.

6.  Apart from the written curriculum if the school provides
some unintended hidden lessons along with a formal
curriculum it will develop resilience.
 Classroom teachers will always need the support of school
psychologists, but school teachers can interact positively
with their children
 This hidden curriculum can be developed through caring
relationships, high expectations and academic standards,
and opportunities for participation and contribution.

8. Make connections
• Teach children how to make friends and develop
empathy. Encourage them to be a friend in order to get
friends.
• At school, watch to make sure that one child is not being
isolated.
Teach children to help others
• Children who may feel helpless can be empowered by
helping others.
• Ask for help with a task they can master. At school,
brainstorm with children about ways they can help
others.

9. Daily routine
• Following a routine can be comforting to children,
especially younger children who crave structure in their
lives.
• Encourage children to develop their own routines.
Take a break
• Although it is important to stick to routines, endlessly
worrying can be counter-productive.
• Show children how to focus on something besides what’s
worrying them.

10. Self-care for children
• Teach child the importance of making time to eat
properly, groom themselves, exercise and rest.
• Children need ‘down time’ to relax, so make sure that
not all free time is filled with a scheduled activity.
Goals
• Teach children to set reasonable goals and move toward
them one step at a time.
• Moving toward that goal and receiving praise for doing
so will focus children on what they have accomplished.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

11. Nurture a positive self-view
• Help children remember ways that they have
successfully handled hardships in the past and how this
can help them handle future challenges.
• Help children learn to trust themselves to solve problems
and make appropriate decisions.
Be optimistic
• Even when children are facing very painful events, help
them look at the situation in a broader context.
• A positive outlook enables children to see the good
things in life and keep going even in the hardest times.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

12. Self-discovery
• Change and tough times are often when children learn
the most about themselves.
• Help children to see that this is a good time to find out
“what they are made of.”
Make home a safe haven
• In high school, taunting and bullying can intensify –
home should be a haven.
• Especially as your teen encounters more freedoms and
choices and looks to home to be a constant, safe and
emotionally secure place in his or her life.

13. Implication of Hidden Curriculum
 Hidden Curriculum is important as much as formal
curriculum.
 Students often forget the lessons / topic taught by the
teacher after several years but the effect of hidden
curriculum remains in his / her mind.
 Social relationship between teachers and students is
affected by hidden curriculum.
 It may contribute undesirable behaviors, conflicts or
encouragement to others.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

14.  Cultural expectation, values and perspective affect an
individual.
 The school culture and manifestation of hidden curriculum
varies on every institution.
 It’s about time to unfold and find solutions to improve the
teaching and learning process.
 Be aware of our own hidden curriculum inside the
classroom.
