for the first time by Philip Jackson, in 1968, in
the book "Life in classrooms" where he
observed the classroom and student learning
in school.
4 – HIDDEN CURRICULUM

6. To identify internal and external factors, we used the concept
of Hidden Curriculum of Silva (2001) : "This includes all those
aspects of the school environment that, without being part of
the official explicit curriculum, contribute implicitly to relevant
social learning, what is learned in the hidden curriculum are:
attitudes, behaviors, values and guidelines. "

15. 14 -Contributions for future research - Questions
What are the values, attitudes, behaviors and guidelines
that influence on learning? Can the hidden curriculum
influence on other learning environments? Can we
measure an individual assessment concerning the
hidden curriculum with internal and external factors on
learning?

16. Is there a predictor power of values on attitudes and
behaviors and guidelines in a learning environment?
Are there in the DNA composition of individuals
values, attitudes, behaviors and guidelines that work
in learning? Is the hidden curriculum a reproduction
of society to the individual merely ?

17. How do the internal and external factors of values,
attitudes, orientations and behaviors influence on
learning? Can we measure the values, attitudes,
orientations and behaviors in a learning
environment? Which are the most preponderant
factors in the hidden curriculum: internal or
external?
