Curriculum

[ Journal Entry ]

Just a few comments about "curriculum"—

The one word represents at least four different things:

  • there's the "formal" curriculum—that which appears in government policy documents;
  • the "perceived" curriculum"—the stuff in textbooks;
  • the "enacted" curriculum"—what happens in the classroom; and
  • the "real" curriculum"—the learning journey taken by individual learners.

Which one matters?
