The focus will be upon:
• What is curriculum?• Process components of curriculum.
![Page 3: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is curriculum?
Session 1
What does the term mean? Is it simply using whatever means to
achieve desirable ends? But then complications emerge:
• What should be included in the curriculum for schools?
• Who decides what should count?• Who controls the selection?• How do we know if the curriculum has been
learned?
![Page 4: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Consider the following statements and indicate whether you agree or disagree with them:
• The curriculum should stress societal needs overindividual needs.
• Not all subject matters are created equal.• Curriculum should focus on personal purpose: the
need for personal integration.• Curriculum should provide the tools for individual
survival in an unstable and changing world.• The established disciplines of knowledge are
essential.• The curriculum materials, when used by intended
learners, should produce specified learning competencies.
• Curriculum should reflect current real-life situations.
Agree Disagree
![Page 5: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Definition 1
Curriculum is such “permanent” subjects as grammar, reading, logic, rhetoric, mathematics, and the great books that best embody essential knowledge.
![Page 6: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Reflection
Many curriculum frameworks are based on this approach
Problems• It is limited to only academic subjects• It assumes that the state of knowledge
doesn’t change
![Page 7: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Definition 2
Curriculum is those subjects that are most useful for living in contemporary society.
![Page 8: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Reflection• It focuses on the here and now• It doesn’t preclude students from making
their own choices
Problems• It assumes that what is contemporary is
better than what is long-lasting.• It encourages students to accommodate
to society rather than trying to improve it.
![Page 9: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Definition 3
Curriculum is all planned learnings for which the school is responsible
![Page 10: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Reflection• It includes all written documents and
ideas about what students should know• It is a commonly held view of curriculum
Problems• It assumes that what is studied is what
is learned• It may cause teachers to simply select
those planned learnings which are easiest to achieve
• Does this exclude unplanned learnings?
![Page 11: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Definition 4
Curriculum cannot be described by its outward features, but rather by the point of view of the thinking from which it springs. A curriculum is something to be felt rather than something to be seen.
![Page 12: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Reflection• It has an important emphasis on
experiencing a curriculum.
Problems• How do you decide what to include?• Would this lead to major variations
between schools?
![Page 13: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Definition 5
Curriculum is all the experiences learners have under the guidance of the school
![Page 14: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reflection• It is assumed that the curriculum is the sum of
the meanings students experience as they engage in the activities of the school
• It includes both planned and unplanned experiences
Problems• It provides no basis for differentiating between
desirable & undesirable experiences• It may make the tasks of the school impossibly
broad
![Page 15: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Definition 6
Curriculum is questioning of areas of authority and searching for more complex views of human situations
![Page 16: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reflection• It suggests the need to develop new
terms and new ways of thinking (post modern forms of thinking).
• It encourages students to question claims to truth.
Problems• Is a solid knowledge background needed
before questioning occurs?• Is it too general, too vague?
![Page 17: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Definition 7
Curriculum is what the student constructs from working with the computer and its various networks (Internet, World Wide Web).
![Page 18: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Reflection• Students use computers as part of the
natural landscape.• It encourages students to make their
own meaning.
Problems• Not all students have the same levels of
access.• Web-based orientations may be biased.
![Page 19: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Definition 8
Curriculum is the totality of learning experiences provided to learners so that they can attain general skills and knowledge at a variety of learning sites
![Page 20: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Reflection• It emphasizes other learning sites in
addition to schools.• It highlights generic skills and being
flexible.
Problems.• It can lead to an emphasis upon a large
number of outcomes and highly specific requirements.
• It has a vocational emphasis.
![Page 21: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Definition 9
Curriculum is all the experiences that learners have in the course of living
![Page 22: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Reflection• It places emphasis on the personal and social
character of curriculum• It emphasizes the individual’s own capacity to
direct his/her own life.
Problems• It makes no distinction between what happens in
school and what happens in life generally• It suggests that school has no special
responsibilities for curriculum• Who decides the course of individual lives?
![Page 23: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Review of Definitions
• Are there any diverse values implicit in these definitions?
• Does any particular definition gives rise to problems & questions?
![Page 24: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A Working Definition (Marsh & Willis, 2003)
Curriculum is an interrelated set of plans and activities that a student experiences under the guidance of the school
![Page 25: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Points to note about this definition:
• The curriculum is an amalgam of planned & unplanned activities
• Importance of both teachers & students• Students ‘experience’ the curriculum• Under the guidance of the school refers to a
wide range of activities within and out of class
![Page 26: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
My definition
Curriculum is…
![Page 27: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hidden Curriculum (Jackson, 1968)
• the social requirements of learning at school are often hidden
• three elements of the hidden curriculum are:- the crowded nature of the classroom- contradictory allegiances required of teachers & peers- unequal power relations of teachers over students
![Page 28: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Hidden Curriculum (ctd)
• Hidden curriculum “involved the learning of attitudes, norms, beliefs, values & assumptions often expressed as rules, rituals & regulations” (Seddon, 1983)
• These rules, rituals & regulations are rarely questioned & are just taken for granted
![Page 29: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Examples of Hidden Curriculum
• arrangement of time, facilities & materials
• kinds & frequency of examinations• grading & assessments systems• texts treated as the most authoritative
sources of knowledge• arrangement of school subjects &
timetable• school uniform requirements
![Page 30: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Null Curriculum (Eisner, 1979)
• what schools do not teach is as important as what they do teach
• certain intellectual processes and subject ideas can be either present or absent in a school curriculum
![Page 31: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Null Curriculum (Intellectual Processes)
• in most schools the intellectual processes which are emphasized are cognitive processes involving use of words & numbers
• there are other intellectual processes which are non verbal & non-rule abiding
• these modes of thought operate in the visual, auditory, metamorphic & poetic ways
• these processes are reflected in schools
![Page 32: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Null Curriculum (content or subject matter)
• most schools teach virtually the same subject matter – they maintain a tradition
• subjects that are part of a tradition are there because they create predictability, & they sustain stability
• subjects that are given little or no time include the visual arts, music.
![Page 33: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Syllabus
• is typically a listing of content to be taught in a single course
• it sometimes includes a small number of general aims & objectives
• it provides detailed information to teachers about what is to be taught
• a syllabus can be subscribed in a curriculum
![Page 34: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Curriculum Guide
• typically includes a listing of content but also aims, objectives, specific materials & activities, possible experiences & forms of evaluation
• it can be for one course or a series of courses
![Page 35: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Fundamental process elements of curriculum
Content – this may be depicted as topics, themes or concept maps
Purpose – usually categorised as intellectual, social & personal purposes of
schoolingOrganisation – planning is based upon
scope & sequence (Walker, 1990)

Fraenkel’s (1980) process questions
• what information, skills, attitudes & values are students to learn and why?
• what characteristics do students possess? What have they already learned? How might these prior learnings & characteristics affect further learning?
• what particular information shall students study? Why? How might this be information be organised?
![Page 37: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Process Questions (ctd)
• what kinds of learning activities can help students learn or acquire various knowledge, skills, attitudes, values? How might these learning experiences be organised?
• what kinds of teacher operations can help students attain various desired objectives?
![Page 38: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Process Questions (ctd)
• How can the effects of instruction be evaluated
• How can objectives, subject matters, learning activities, teaching strategies & evaluative measures be organised & interrelated so as to encourage learning?
![Page 39: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Process Components of Curriculum
Although there are different emphasis and priorities most curriculum planners will use specific components, even if they are used in a different order. They include:
What? (objectives/outcomes)How? (use of specific learning activities)When? (organizing/sequencing learning
activities)So what? (checking on what has been learnt)
![Page 40: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Objectives
Selecting learning experiences
Organizing learning experiences
Evaluation
What educational goals should the school seek to attain?
How can learning experiences be selected which are likely to be useful in attaining these objectives.
How can learning experiences be organized for effective instruction?
How can the effectiveness of learning experiences be evaluated?

Objectives for Curriculum
How do we know which ones to select?What do we use as our sources?
Do we derive our objectives from:• What we know of the learners.• What we consider are important life skills• What subject specialists tell us is important.• Our philosophy of teaching and education.• Our understanding about how children learn.
![Page 43: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Some educators use very specific objectives termed behavioural objectives. Students have to do observable activities (e.g. to list, add, demonstrate) under certain conditions (e.g. using only certain equipment, time limits) and to an acceptable level of performance (e.g. in time taken, accuracy).
![Page 44: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Instructional objectives are not as specific. They provide some criteria for teachers to use in terms of:
• Scope• Suitability• Validity• Feasibility
![Page 45: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Example
The objectives for a topic might focus on a problem
Or They could be based on particular
concepts taken from a discipline.
Which is preferable? Why
![Page 46: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Consider the following examples:
How is pollution being controlled in the Singapore River?
Give examples of erosion and deposition which occurs along the northern coast of Singapore?
![Page 47: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Outcome statements
They are now widely used in many countries.Some special characteristics include:• They concentrate upon outputs rather
than inputs.• They are broad descriptions of student
competencies not connected to specific content or teaching
• They reflect long term learning of significances beyond school.
![Page 48: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Health & Physical Education example
The student understands how factors influence personal health behaviours and how to appraise their own and others’ health, safety and physical activity practices (Strand Outcome Statement).
![Page 49: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Science example
The student demonstrates an awareness that energy is present in daily life (Foundation Outcome Statement).
![Page 50: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Deciding upon Learning Activities & Content
Deciding upon these is very important and includes:
• The physical arrangement of the classroom.
• The modes of instruction the teacher will use.
• The ways in which the student activities are organized and coordinated.
![Page 51: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Physical arrangement of classroom/learning environment
• What is the pattern of furniture and space?
• Does this pattern aid student learning?• How easy is student and teacher
movement?• How effectively is shared space used?
![Page 52: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Organizing/Sequencing Learning Activities
Although many teachers contend that they know intuitively which modes of instruction/learning experiences to select and how to sequence them, the following are useful reminders:
![Page 56: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Organizing/Sequencing Learning Activities
• All students learn differently and therefore teachers should select from a wide variety so that they don’t disadvantage some students.
• No single approach is better than another.• The learning experience used must be broad
enough to achieve the teaching objectives/objectives.
• The learning experiences should be appropriate to students’ interests and abilities.
![Page 57: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Methods of sequencing the content
• Integration - arranging content for learning activities that builds upon what has been learnt in other subjects.
• Manageably sized units - breaking the content and learning experiences into manageable steps to facilitate learning.
• Simple to complex - present simple ideas before complex ones are used.
![Page 58: Marsh Philosophy of Curriculum Evaluation Development Sep06](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54fe4d6d4a7959f4248b4e89/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
