THE HISTORY OF THE CURRICULUM THROUGH                 AGES

# data[].attributes.body
In education, a curriculum (/kəˈrɪkjʊləm/; plural curricula /kəˈrɪkjʊlə/ or curriculums) is broadly defined as the totality of student experiences that occur in the educational process.

The overall curriculum of an entire education system-consisting of the particular curricula for the school subjects, divided into grades, levels, and tracks, and organized to move young students from one grade to another, from one level to another, and between the tracks-provides the preconfigured educational pathways of future loyal citizens.

History of curriculum will, then, be in need of comparison, which in turn is in need of formal categories and notions that are to be used methodologically as floating signifers, such as the notion of the citizen as the bearer of two loyalties, loyalty to the unifying nation and to social distinctions, but also the notion of the society, the nation, and even the constitution.

Curriculum history as an academic eld, with a few indi-vidual exceptions, is based in the United States, with its predominantly (Reformed) Calvinist culture. And although in the late nineteenth century the genre “history of education” spread from Germany first to France and then to the English-speaking world, curriculum history in particular and curriculum studies in general have remained largely restricted to the English-speaking world.

It presupposed an institutional environment at universities or colleges, as a rule in departments of curriculum and instruction (or the like), which emerged in the 1960s and 1970s in the context of teacher education at universities.

It is only since the late 1990s that curriculum history/studies has been internationalized by providing a frame in which different international case studies are being developed, often for comparative purposes.

By the seventeenth century, the University of Glasgow also referred to its "course" of study as a "curriculum", producing the first known use of the term in English in 1633.

By the nineteenth century, European universities routinely referred to their curriculum to describe both the complete course of study (as for a degree in surgery) and particular courses and their content.

By 1824, the word was defined as "a course, especially a fixed course of study at a college, university, or school.

In the early years of the 20th century, the traditional concepts held of the "curriculum is that it is a body of subjects or subject matter prepared by the teachers for the students to learn." It was synonymous to the "course of study" and "syllabus".

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A  CURRICULUM

# data[].attributes.body
CHARACTERISTIC OF CURRICULUM

1. The curriculum is continuously evolving. To be viable and effective, the curricular program must have continuous evaluation and reappraisal.

A program must adapt its educational activities and services to meet the needs of a modern and dynamic community.

2. The curriculum is based on the needs of the people

-It is imperative in developing a program to begin with those that concern the people themselves. Their years of experience can be a good source that can be woven into the fabric of the classroom presentation.

3. The curriculum is democratically conceived.

-The minds and energies of many people who are in intimate contact with the interests, needs and resources of the community will create a more effective product than the individual director could possibly provide by working alone.

4. The curriculum is the result of long-term effort.

-Enthusiasm for a proposed curriculum activity often impels proponents to push for immediate action. But a class or service that is begun hurriedly and folds quickly may hurt the long-term continuance of the program.

5. The curriculum is a complex of details.

-A friendly social meeting, good student-teacher relationships, effective guidance opportunities, and favorable attitude on the part of individuals, groups, and organizations within the community are necessary ingredients for a successful.

6. The curriculum provides for the logical sequence of subject matter.

-Classes and activities should be planned so as to achieve an orderly development of subject matter and step-by-step progress of the learner.

7. The curriculum complements and cooperates with other programs in the community.

-The public school should not try to monopolize the education scene at the community level. Its major concern should be to see that the jobs get done regardless of who does it.

8. The curriculum has educational quality.

-The curriculum must be made up of offerings that pass the test of good and sound education. We speak of quality education but there has to be quality curriculum as well.

9. The curriculum has administrative flexibility.

-Flexibility is a good trait of good curriculum. A curriculum must be ready to incorporate changes whenever necessary.

Definition of Syllabus

The syllabus is defined as the documents that consist of topics or portion covered in a particular subject. It is determined by the examination board and created by the professors.
