The document discusses Durkheim's view of the moral order in society and its relationship to the curriculum. It provides the following key points:
1. According to Durkheim, society has a common moral order comprised of shared beliefs and values that are external to individuals but bind them together.
2. The curriculum is shaped by and aims to teach the basic principles of the societal moral order. It ensures these principles are practiced and identifies behaviors that do not conform.
3. The relationship between moral order and curriculum is such that the curriculum socializes learners to accept the moral order and its norms through practices like identifying and punishing cheating in school.

According to Secondary Education Commission (1952-53) “Curriculum does not mean only the academic subjects traditionally taught in the school, but it includes the totality of the experiences that learner receives through the manifold activities that go in the school, in the classroom, library, laboratory, workshop, playground and in the numerous informal contacts between the teacher and the learners”.
According to Cunningham “Curriculum is the tool in the hands of the artist (the teacher) to mould his material (the students) according to his ideals (aims and objectives) in his studio (the school)”.
According to Krug “Curriculum is subject matter content which is taught to a person in order to educate him”.
According to Kerr “Curriculum comprises all the course offered to the learner which is planned and guided by the school, whether it is carried on in groups or individually, inside or outside the school”.
According to Crow and Crow “Curriculum includes all the learners’ experience which the child gets under the guidance of a teacher, in or outside school, that are included in the programme which has been devised to help him develop mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually and morally”.
According to Saylor and Alexander “Curriculum is the Environment in which the education takes place”.
According to Saylor, Alexander and Lewis “Curriculum is planned opportunities for learning for persons to be educated”.
According to Smith “Curriculum deals with the learning outcomes which are to be achieved through instruction or experience”.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. The moral order according to
Durkheim
The central values, decided by people, but external
to us. The totality of beliefs and sentiments
common to average citizens of the same society
forms a determinate system which has its own life;
one may call it the collective or common conscience
…. It has specific characteristics which make it a
distinct reality. It is, in effect, independent of the
particular conditions in which individuals are
placed; they pass on and it remains. (Durkheim,
1968)
3. Key aspects of the moral order:
• Common conscience
• Independent of the individual
• Individual constrained by it
4. The Curriculum:
• Is shaped by the basic principles of the
common moral order
• It functions so as to ensure that these basic
principles are put into practice and obeyed
• Allows for behaviour that does not conform to
be identified and controlled, e.g. cheating
5. Relation between the moral order
and curriculum:
• that curriculum practices in schools teach, socialize
learners into accepting the common moral order ( take
for e.g. the norm of individual achievement, and how
the definition of cheating in school and the
‘punishment’ for cheating – physically and symbolically,
contributes to the norm of individual achievement
being learned)
• that behaviour that does not conform to the common
moral order is identified and controlled so that there is
conformity – example the norm of independence,
children are taught from foundation phase to become
more and more independent.
6. •So the curriculum is a way to achieve social
cohesion and social solidarity…
•A social order that is based on knowledge not
tradition, faith, etc.
7. Defining the curriculum problem
• There is no one correct definition of
curriculum. Definitions range from narrow
views of curriculum as ‘a course of study’ to
broader definitions of ‘what actually happens’
in educational settings and to even broader
perspectives of the relations between
curriculum and society. How would you
explain the gap between the intended and
actual curriculum?
8. Stenhouse provides two views of
curriculum:
We appear to be confronted by two different
views of the curriculum. On the one hand the
curriculum is seen as an intention, plan or
prescription, an idea about what one would like
to happen in schools. On the other it is seen as
the existing state of affairs in schools, what does
in fact happen. Curriculum study rests on how
we talk or write about these two ideas of
curriculum. (Stenhouse, 1983:2)
9. • refer them to pg. 4 and the 3 mainstream
definitions. What view do they emphasise?
10. What a curriculum plan should make
clear
Principles for:
• selection of content,
• sequencing of content and
• teaching strategy (method/pedagogy).
11. • Does your teaching subject curriculum
provide: what should be taught? In what
sequence? How?
12. • the gap between the intended and actual
curriculum is not unique to SA.
• Thus Stenhouse says: ‘the gap between
aspiration and practice is a real and frustrating
one’.
13. • CAPS as the intended/ideal/planned/
prescribed/official curriculum.
• The difference between curriculum,
curriculum policy, curriculum study and
curriculum development.
14. • According to Stenhouse curriculum studies
focusses on the gap between the intended
and ideal curriculum, its main method is case
study and empirical data is collected.
• It is an inter-disciplinary field of study
informed by sociology, psychology, philosophy,
history, etc.
15. A curriculum is an attempt to communicate the
essential principles and features of an
educational proposal in such a form that it is
open to critical scrutiny and capable of effective
translation into practice (Stenhouse)
16. A curriculum should provide:
• Principles for the selection of content – what
is to be taught and learned
• Principles informing a teaching method.
• Principles informing sequencing of content
• Principles to assess whether the objectives
have been achieved.
17. The origins and nature of curriculum
• The authors explain the nature of curriculum
in terms of being centrally about knowledge,
reality and truth and the assumptions
underpinning each. They go on to explain that
what is selected as valid knowledge may vary
from different points of view with dominance
and power playing a role in settling the issue.
18. Look at the 12 definitions in the Lovet
and Smith reading
• Analyse each definition.
• Identify the view that each definition holds.
19. What is the nature of curriculum?
Curriculum is essentially about knowledge, truth and
reality
1. Any curriculum is centrally about knowledge – what we
know, how we know, what ought to be taught and
learned –
Definition 2: The curriculum should consist entirely of
knowledge from the disciplines
Based on the assumptions about the nature of knowledge
• Objective – everywhere the same or universally true,
apart from the knower,
• Subjective – personal and constructed by the knower
20. 2. Curriculum and socialization of
learners
• We spoke about this already – Lovet and
Smith reinforce it…
• One of the purposes of the curriculum is to
socialize the new generation – to accept social
norms.
21. 3. Curriculum as a selection
• Cannot teach all knowledge, skills, values,
select some
• What is selected is not neutral but biased in
favour of dominant groups.
• In this perspective the curriculum reflects the
experience of those doing the selecting. Eg.
Gender, racial, sexuality, social class biases
encoded in disciplinary knowledge
22. 4. Curriculum and reality
• But the curriculum creates reality for learners
– that regulates, shapes their consciousness,
their identity
• for some the reality matches with their own
life experiences while for others it is
conflicting even alienating. How does this
impact performance?
• Is it wrong to introduce learners to ‘other’
realities?
23. 5. Curriculum and Truth
• values, principles, ethics –
• what is right or wrong behavior,
• what is good, what is beautiful or aesthetics –
• beauty and quality of human experience
• So some topics are deemed right and good
others are not!
24. 6. Curriculum and context
Global, national, regional, local, school context.
25. Broader influences on the curriculum
• Historical,
• Political,
• Social and
• Economic factors.
30. Also known as the implicit, covert
curriculum
…those things which pupils learn at school
because of the way in which the work of the
school is planned and organized, but which are
not in themselves included in the planning or
even in the consciousness of those responsible
for school arrangements. (Kelly, 1982)
• E.g. boys are more important than girls
• In a democratic school learners are more
friendly?
31. • Ivan Illich coined the concept of a ‘hidden
curriculum’. It has become a well-known
phrase in the study of education. What it
means is that the overt curriculum of schools
and other establishments where formal
education takes place is much less important,
in the long run, than the covert process of
subtle repression, which is the real curriculum
(Pandor 2005).
32. This is the critical view of curriculum:
It reproduces inequalities: race, class and gender
based!
