INTRODUCTION
The term curriculum derived from the Latin word 'currere'
which means a kind of route which the learns travels. All the activities
going on the school or outside of school is called curriculum. It is basic to
the intellectual, moral, and emotional development of the child.
Curriculum is a tool in the hands of an artist (teacher) to mould his
material (students) according to his ideals (objectives) in his studio
(school).
Process of selecting curriculum elements from the subject, the
current social life and the students experience than the selected
curriculum elements approximately so they can form the curriculum
structure and type. Curriculum for a course of study may be conceived as
the totality of experiences a pupil is exposed to within the boundaries of
the school and outside while undergoing that course, with a view to
achieve the anticipated educational goals. The science curriculum is the
medium required for the purpose. As such, every science teacher has to
get a clear and through knowledge about the importance, meaning, scope
and nature of a good science curriculum together with the principles for its
development and transaction.

CONTENT KNOWLEDGE
1.The principle of Child-Centeredness: Curriculum should be child-
centered. It must be based on the present needs, requirements and
circumstances of the child. The child needs more experience than
instruction. If we wish our pupils to reveal initiative,co-0peration and
social responsibility, we should develop these qualities in them by
means of meaningful activities appropriate to their stage of
psychological development. True education can be acquired only
through activity and experience. Curriculum meant for any particular
stage, therefore, should be framed in accordance with the child's
developmental characteristics as well as its capabilities and needs at
the stage.
2.The principle of Community-Centeredness: Besides treating each
child as an individual, we should also view him as a member of the
community to which he belongs . In fact, the learner is going to be an
active member of the community, as a citizen. It is, therefore, quite
desirable that his needs and desires must harmonise with the needs
and desires of those amongst whom he has to live. The child cannot be
educated in a vacuum. He is to educated in a school established by the
society and interacting with other members of the society. The goals
formulated by the school which depend up on the purpose of the
society determine the nature of the curriculum. But the society is not
5. 5
static. It is dynamic and continuously changing. Living in this ever
changing modern world is not as a simple as it used to be in the past.
Any curriculum has to be prepare the learners to face this challenge
posed by the community with efficiency.
3.The principle of Activity-Centeredness: Action is the sign of life .
Man is an active being. Therefore, the curriculum should provide for a
variety of activities both physical and mental in which children are
naturally interested. The activity must be connected with the child's
desires and needs as well as societal and educational requirements.
Emphasis should be given to to learning by doing through the activities
of hand, head and heart. These may be in the form of play activities at
the pre-primary stage, project activities at the primary stage. At the
same time, it has to be remembered that physical activities should lead
to mental reflections.
4.The Principle of Integration: By integration we do not merely mean
integration of subjects. What is required is the integration of the child's
needs one the one hand and the needs of the democratic society on the
other. In other words, integration warrants that activities carried on in a
school and the experiences thus gained should not be treated in
watertight compartments. Instead, these should be so designed as to
establish a functional unity with the environment. Such a curriculum will
safeguard the general, liberal and vocational aspects of education.
6. 6
5.Forward looking principle: Theaim of education is to prepare the child
for an effective adult life. Therefore the curriculum should reflect an
insight in to future life of the child. It should enable the child to prepare
him for a vocation. It should equip him with the calibre to meet the
challenges of life in future.
6.Conservative Principle: The curriculum should preserve and transmit
the tradition and culture of human race. It should embrace such subjects ,
topics or activities by which students should cultivate a sense of respect
for their traditionsand culture. Selection of such item should, however, be
made with great care, according to the mental development of children.
7.Renewal Principle: While conserving and transmitting the cultural
heritage, education should cater to renewal of the culture to suit the
requirements of changing times. Hence curriculum should be so
constructed as to facilitate renewal of the society by infusing dynamism in
all aspects.
8.Creative principle: God has created the universe and the men have
created the other things in it. By nature man is creative. Therefore
education should be so moulded as to enable one develop one's creativity.
The curriculum should consist such items that would enable children to
exercise their creative powers so that creativity is fostered, which in turn
will enable them to modify their environment according to the needs of
time.
7. 7
9.Motivation Principle: The curriculum should be tailored to suit the
needs and interests of the pupils. It must be goal directed. It should must
motivate the pupils to actively participated in the learning process with an
innate desire arising out of intrinsic motivation.
10.Maturity Principle: The curriculum should be suited to the mental
and physical maturity of the pupil.
11.The Principle of preparation for life: The school curriculum should
include such elements that would prepare children for their future life.
That is, they should be able to earn their livelihood sufficiently and adjust
themselves with the society efficiently. It should equip the child with the
calibre to meet the challenges of life.
12.The Principle of Elasticity and Flexibility: Since the needs of the
individual and the society go on changing, a rigid and static curriculum
cannot meet the requirements of the child or of the society. Moreover,
experiences to be presented have to be modified to suit the environment,
societal conditions, learning atmosphere, etc. Also, pupil differ in
intelligence, taste and skills too. The curriculum by its elasticity can cater
to all such requirements posed by environmental and individual
differences.
13.The Principle of Comprehensiveness: The curriculum must be
comprehensive enough to confirm to the needs of various individuals or
communities. It must be broad-based to include a wide variety of subjects
8. 8
suited to the needs of various types of pupils and the society with all its
diversities. Comprehensiveness has to be reflected also in its potential to
cater to the comprehensive or total development of an individual.
14. The Principle of Balance: Curriculumshould maintain proper balance
between direct and indirect experiences, liberal and professional
education, individual and social aims, compulsory and optional subjects,
etc.
15.The Principle of Utility: Curriculum should be of practical use to the
pupil, and hence should maintain vocational and technical bias. Due
emphasis should be given to work experiences.
9. 9
CONCLUSION
Curriculum is the crux of the whole educational process. The
curriculum is the totality of experiences that the child gains through the
multi various activities in the school. the curriculum should be well
balanced, properly of the child on the one hand and those of the society
on other. So the curriculum should be reorganized in the light of principles
mentioned above . Thus we see that graded, fairly broad based, and
appropriately organized for meeting the needs while organizing
curriculum for a grade, a number of considerations are to be kept in mind.
Utility should be the chief criterion for curriculum organization of course in
tune with the largest trend in subjects. The needs of community, the needs
of students and above all, the view of the teachers should be given due
importance in any programme of curriculum organization in science.
