Curriulum and Knowledge
Curriculum is
• The expectations about roles/tasks undertaken by persons to
achieve certain goals or standards.
• That which is taught in school
• A set of subjects
• Content
• A set of materials
• A set of performance objectives for student learning at a
variety of learning sites.
• That which an individual learner experiences as a result of
schooling.
• Everything that is planned by school personnel.
The syllabus document is a summery statement about what is to be
taught in a course or unit, a curriculum includes more then this.
How you teach your content can drastically affect what is taught and
how well students ‘soak in’ the information being given.
(Marsh 2004)
Knowledge is everything we know. We can have theoretical and practical
knowledge. There is knowledge that is obtained in the classroom and
knowledge obtained in the playground with friends. The aim of a teacher
is to help children to obtain as much knowledge as they can while
they are at school. After all knowledge is the most powerful tool
of all.
