Curriculum from Different Points of View


Traditional Points of View of curriculum - Curriculum is that it is body of subjects or subject matter prepared by the teachers for the students to learn. it was synonymous to the course study.and syllabus.
Robert m. Hutchins views curriculum as permanent studies where the rules of grammar, reading, rhetoric and logic and mathematics for basic education are emphasized.

Progressive Points of View of Curriculum - On the other hand, to the progressivist, a listing of school subjects, syllabi, course of study, and list of courses or specific discipline do not make a curriculum. This can only called a curriculum if the written materials are actualized by the learner. Broadly speaking , curriculum is defined as the total learning experiences of the individual.
