What is Curriculum?
The word “Curriculum” is just not an ordinary word but it has a lot of meanings and
definitions. You cannot understand the word curriculum if u are not undergo studying in its
concepts, the scope and its view. You really need to open your mind, be open to any
possibilities and deepen your understanding about this word so that you can easily
understand what is really the point or the concept of curriculum.
Based on the activities that I had done I discovered that there many point of views from
different authors and sources about the meaning of curriculum and some of this important
point of view or meaning about curriculum are courses, subjects offered to a school that
are usually use and useful to our daily living and to our society and also it is a planned and
guided set of learning experiences and intended learning outcomes, formulated through the
systematic reconstruction of knowledge. Some also says that curriculum is a written
document that systematically describes goals, planned, objectives, content, learning
activities, evaluation. Those are the words that are commonly defined by some authors
about curriculum. I learned that curriculum has something to do in our life as a future
teacher. It gives impact to the individuals who want to gain more knowledge and skills. And
it will really help them to become competent in the future.
How did I feel after the activity?
After the activity I felt like each teacher has their own understanding on the meaning of
“curriculum”. Thus, I manage to understand that curriculum is a kind of design, setup,
offering, or arrangement of subjects and courses. Curriculum is a framework that sets
expectations for student learning. It serves as a guide for teachers, a roadmap if you will,
that establishes standards for student performance and teacher accountability.
