The document discusses different types of curriculum, including subject/teacher centered, learner centered, activity based, integrated, core, spiral, societal, overt, hidden, phantom, and enacted curriculums. It provides details on teacher centered vs learner centered curriculum, highlighting differences in focus, student interaction, and evaluation. Hidden curriculum is defined as lessons taught unintentionally through behaviors and attitudes picked up in school.

4. Hidden Curriculum
 HIDDEN CURRICULUM can be defined as the lessons that
are taught informally, and usually unintentionally, in a school
system.
 These include behaviors, perspectives, and attitudes that
students pick up while they're at school.
 This is contrasted with the formal curriculum, such as the
courses and activities students participate in.
 The Hidden curriculum is influenced by the principles and
rules of the school.
 It is term used to describe the unwritten rules and expected
behavior that all seems to know, but were never taught.
 It consists of those things people get through the experience
of attending the school rather than the stated educational
objectives of the institutions

5. The hidden curriculum begins early in a child's education.
Students learn to form opinions and ideas about their environment
and their classmates.
 For example, children learn 'appropriate' ways to act at school,
meaning what's going to make them popular with teachers and
students.
 They also learn what is expected of them; for example, many
students pick up on the fact that year-end test scores are what
really matter.
 These attitudes and ideas aren't taught in any formal way, but
kids absorb and internalize them through natural observation and
participation in classroom and social activities

6. Enacted Curriculum
 The enacted curriculum refers to instruction (e.g. what happens in
classrooms)
 The enacted curriculum is what is implemented based on the day today
choices and decisions teachers make about content and learning experiences
for the students
 The “Enacted Curriculum” reflects the daily curricular experience of a
student within instructional settings exemplified by assignments,
instructional practices, and managed content.
➔Textbooks & Workbooks
➔Teacher created lessons
➔Computer-based training
➔Virtual learning environments
➔Social network group-learns
 Enacted curriculum cannot be scripted or pre decided because the enactment
requires teachers to respond in the event to the moments in the lesson.
