Examples of curriculum in the following topics:
-
- To succeed in college, students must learn a second, hidden curriculum to meet unstated academic and social norms.
- In this conflict, students struggle to meet unstated academic and social norms, or a hidden curriculum.
- Those who master the hidden curriculum excel while those who do not often fail, no matter their academic abilities.
- According to Snyder, the hidden curriculum goes beyond the explicit demands of the formal curriculum.
- The goals and requirements of the hidden curriculum are unstated, but inflexible.
-
- From teaching style to the formal curriculum, schools are a means to convey what constitutes knowledge and appropriate behavior as determined by the state—those in power.
- Children from lower-class backgrounds face a much tougher time in school, where they must learn the standard curriculum as well as the hidden curriculum of middle class values.
- These students have the benefit of learning middle class values at home, meaning they come to school already having internalized the hidden curriculum.
-
- Gifted education programs are justified by a two-pronged argument: First, gifted and talented youth are not adequately challenged by the standard curriculum and therefore require accelerated curricula or enrichment activities to reach their full potential.
- Acceleration programs may compact curriculum or allow students to self-pace.
- In pull-out programs, gifted students spend most of the school day with a regular classroom of mixed abilities, but may be pulled out for an hour or part of a day to practice critical thinking drills, creative exercises, or subjects not introduced in standard curriculums.
- Pull-out programs are generally ineffective at promoting academic achievement since they do not align with the regular curriculum.
- Finally, summer enrichment presents gifted students with extra material above and beyond the standard curriculum.
-
- In this example, teamwork and reciprocity are examples of the "hidden curriculum. "
- Although this aim is stated in the formal curriculum, it is mainly achieved through "the hidden curriculum", a subtler, but nonetheless powerful, indoctrination of the norms and values of the wider society.
-
- It may be difficult to account for differences in educational culture across schools, difficulty of a given teacher's curriculum, differences in teaching style, and techniques and biases that affect grading.
- However, critics feel that overuse and misuse of these tests harms teaching and learning by narrowing the curriculum.
- While it is possible to use a standardized test without letting its contents determine curriculum and instruction, frequently what is not tested is not taught, and how the subject is tested often becomes a model for how to teach the subject.
- However, critics charge that standardized tests have become a mandatory curriculum placed into schools without public debate and without any accountability measures of its own.
-
- Teachers may use a lesson plan to facilitate student learning, providing a course of study that is called the curriculum.
- In primary schools, each class has a teacher who stays with them for most of the week and will teach them the whole curriculum.
-
- For example, it is not stated in the curriculum that children learn social skills at school, but as a result of being around and working with other children, socialization occurs.
- In these cases, social skills training is part of the curriculum for those particular children.
- Pierre Bourdieu and Basil Bernstein explored how the cultural capital of the dominant classes has been viewed throughout history as the "most legitimate knowledge. " How schools choose the content and organization of curriculum and instructional practices connects scholastic knowledge to dynamics of class, gender, and race both outside and inside our institutions of education.
-
- School structure, curriculum, and size may increase the exposure of students to academic risk factors.
- For example, students are more likely to drop out when they attend schools with less rigorous curriculum, when they attend large schools, or when they attend schools with poor student-teacher interactions.
-
- In conjunction with this e-learning, homeschooling could theoretically be combined with a traditional school curriculum to produce more well-rounded results.
- These methods can include play, games, household responsibilities, work experience, and social interaction, and form a distinct alternative to a more traditional school curriculum.
-
- From this case study, researchers predicted that the educational system of the future will be designed around software capabilities that personalize the curriculum and make learning more meaningful to students.
- School bureaucracies struggle with the political challenge of defining a valuable educational curriculum and regulating the constituency that has access to those educational opportunities.
