CHAPTERS
Part I
Curriculum Documentation and Origins
1.      Concept of Curriculum and Purposes of Curriculum Study
This chapter probably will discuss about the benefits of curriculum study and how to recognize a curriculum. In this chapter also we learn about what curriculum analysis is, why it is important to do, and how to go about it.

2.      Situating the Curriculum
This chapter told us about where does the curriculum come from, who develops curricula, why do people develop curricula, and how are curricula affected by social, political, economic, or cultural situations. This chapter also helps us tell the story that provides the background for understanding the curriculum documents.

QUESTION AND ANSWER
Part I
Curriculum Documentation and Origins
1.      Concept of Curriculum and Purposes of Curriculum Study (page 3)
1.1.   Curriculum study
What is curriculum study?
The curriculum “cultist” makes a fundamental error in assuming that they have the answer to any problem, regardless of the particulars of the situation.

1.2.   The meaning of “curriculum”
What is the meaning of “curriculum”?
           A curriculum is the content, standards, or objectives for which schools hold students accountable. A curriculum is the set of instructional strategies teachers plan to use.

1.2.1.      The five concurrent curricula
What are the five concurrent curricula?
The five concurrent curricula are the official, the operational, the hidden, the null, and the extra curriculum.

1.3.   Curriculum framework
What is curriculum framework?
           Curriculum framework is a set of categories useful for sorting out curriculum decisions, documents, and assumption.

1.4.   Frameworks for curriculum analysis
What are frameworks for curriculum analysis?
           Framework for curriculum analysis is a prior set of questions pertaining to the way the curriculum development process itself was framed. It examines the problems to which the curriculum responded and the theoretical perspectives it employed.

1.5.   Why do a curriculum analysis?
Why do a curriculum analysis?
           Because when selecting or adapting a curriculum for use in particular classroom, school, or school district, it is important to determine whether r not it  is appropriate for the situation.

1.6.   Overview of a curriculum analysis-the case of man: a course of study
1.6.1.      M:ACOS-A description
What is M: ACOS-A description?
            M: ACOS (CDA, 1972) was intended as a fifth – or sixth-grade social studies curriculum with a social science emphasis. It was developed and tested between 1963 and 1970 under the leadership of the cognitive psychologist Jerome Brunner, together with the social scientists Irven DeVore, Nikolaas Tinbergen, and Asen Balikci.

1.6.2.      Curriculum Analysis of M:ACOS
           What is Curriculum Analysis of M: ACOS?
-          The first set of questions concerns the way the curriculum is documented and framed.
-          The second set of questions concerns the curriculum proper, its purposes, its content, and its organization.
-          The third set of questions concerns the curriculum in use, both its implementation and its evaluation.
-          The forth set of questions reexamines all previous question sets and attempts to develop an overall critique of the curriculum.

1.7.   How to choose a curriculum for analysis
How to choose a curriculum for analysis?
To choose a curriculum for analysis is by question and answer. The best way to answer the question is by suggesting the kinds of information needed for a curriculum analysis.

2.      Situating the Curriculum (page 33)
2.1.   The cast of characters
What is the cast of characters?
           Schwab (19710 contends that five sorts of people should be involved in curriculum deliberations. According to Schwab, there should be at least one representative for each of what he calls the four commonplace of education, namely, the learners, the teachers, the subject matter, and the milieu.

2.2.   The story behind the curriculum: problem formulating
What is the story behind the curriculum: problem formulating?
           One way to portray a curriculum’s story is to focus on the curriculum’s formulation of a problem. Any new curriculum can be thought if as an attempt to respond to a problem. For example, current attempts to develop curricula in “thinking skills” are responding to a public consensus that students leave school unable to assess arguments critically.

2.3.   The story behind the curriculum: planning foci
What is the story behind the curriculum: planning foci?
           The story of the project available in the literature usually describes the situation surrounding the decision to develop a curriculum, names the cast of characters, then stops when the project begins and resumes again when the project releases its materials to the public.

3.      Theoretical Perspective on Curriculum (page 43)
3.1.   Traditional
What is Traditional?
           William Torrey Harris, then superintendent of the St. Louis school system and a learned philosopher in his own right, believed that education needed to focus on transmitting the cultural heritage of Western civilization.

3.2.   Experiential
What is Experiential?
           Experiential view based on the assumption that everything that happens to students influences their lives, and that, therefore, the curriculum must be considered extremely broadly, not only in terms of what can be planned for students in schools and even outside them, but also in terms of all the unanticipated consequences of each new situation that individuals encounter.

3.3.   Structure of the disciplines
What is Structure of the disciplines?
           Structure of the disciplines is focus of the curriculum to subject matter, and in particular to the disciplines of knowledge and the way scholars in those disciplines understand their structure.

3.4.   Behavioral
What is Behavioral?
           Behavioral is the assumption that all knowledge is rooted in sense impressions, i.e., the effects that seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling things in the world have on our minds.
3.5.   Constructivist
What is Constructivist?
           The foundations of modern constructivist views can also be traced to Greek philosophy, but in this case to Plato. Although some of Plato’s theory now seems strange, his views had a strong influence on antecedents of constructivism. Plato believed that a person knowledge and ideas are innate, or inborn; all that the teacher needs to do is help the person recall them.

Part II
The Curriculum Proper
4.      Curriculum Purpose and Content: Basic Concepts (page 69)
4.1.   Training and educational context for curriculum
What is training and educational context for curriculum?
           Training refers to contexts in which we can predict with some confidence the specific situations in which people will use what they learn. Education, in other hand, refers to context in which we cannot predict with any specificity or certainty the situations in which people will use what they learn.

4.2.   Aims, goals, and objectives
What are aims, goals, and objectives?
           There is no consensus on the meaning of such terms as “aims,” “goals,” and “objectives.” Therefore, we need to stipulate definitions of some of these basic terms for the purposes of this text.

4.2.1.      Societal goal
What is societal goal?
            Societal goal is not primarily educational aims or goals, because they do not refer to outcomes achievable through learning; however, almost any societal goal has some educational dimension

4.2.2.      Administrative goal
What is administrative goal?
                Administrative goal is the maintenance and improvement of organization. Accomplishing goals such as limiting budget increases to 10 percent, hiring more minority teachers, lengthening the school year, adding a new science laboratory, and repairing the high school’s roof may indirectly improve the quality of education but are not educational objectives themselves.

4.2.3.      Educational aim
What is educational aim?
                The stated aims of education “describe expected life outcomes based on some value schema either consciously or unconsciously chosen” (Broudy, 1971, p.13).

4.2.4.      Educational goal
What is educational goal?
                Educational goal is the result from learning over the years and across the subject matters of schooling.

4.2.5.      Learning objective
What is learning objective?
                       Learning objective is the intended educational consequences of particular courses or units of study.

4.3.   Content
What is Content?
           Content is one dimension of a learning objective.


4.3.1.      Content: a behavioral psychological view
What is a behavioral psychological view?
            Odd as it may seem, nearly all thinking of psychologist about learning objectives has historically focused on the type of objective, with little attention given to the substance or content of objectives, and to the “stuff” teachers teach.

4.3.2.      Content: a pedagogical view
What is a pedagogical view?
            Pedagogical view is a knowledge about what to teach and how best to teach it to students.

4.3.3.      Content: a multicultural view
What is a multicultural view?
            Multicultural view is a theories and strategies designed to deal with diversity in the school.

4.3.4.      Standards
What is a standard?
            A standard is the specification what students should know and when they should know it.

4.4.   Technology and content
What are technology and content?
           Technology offers the possibility of approaching and organizing content in new ways and creates opportunity to teach content not otherwise possible. Arguably, the most important technologies in the history of education (so far) are the blackboard and the mass-produced textbook.

4.5.   Five perspectives on purpose and content.
What are five perspectives on purpose and content?
           The five perspectives on purpose and content are traditional, experiential, structure of the disciplines, behavioral, constructivist.

4.5.1.      Traditional
What is traditional?
            For proponents of a traditional perspective, the purpose of education is to transmit the cultural heritage.

4.5.2.      Experiential
What is experiential?
            According to the experiential perspective, development is the primary purpose of education (Hamilton, 1980).

4.5.3.      Structure of the disciplines
What is structure of the disciplines?
            According to the structure-of-the-disciplines perspective, the primary purpose of education is the development of the intellect (King & Bownell, 1965) and the disciplines of knowledge constitute the content best suited to this purpose.

4.5.4.      Behavioral
What is behavioral?
            According to the behavioral perspective, the content of the curriculum comprises a set of skills described by statements specifying observable and measurable behaviors, termed “behavioral” or “performance” objectives.

4.5.5.      Constructivist
What is constructivist?
            Constructivist perspectives consider the development of the mind to be the central purpose of education.

5.      Curriculum Purpose and Content: Conflicting Perspectives (page 104)
5.1.   Focus: two approaches to purpose and content
What are two approaches to purpose and content?
           Two approaches to purpose and content are behavioral and constructivist.

5.2.   Behavioral
What is Behavioral?
           As Joyce and Weil (1986, p. 313) point out, “the key ideas in behavior theory are based on the stimulus-response-reinforcement paradigm in which human behavior is thought to be under the control of the external environment.”

5.3.   Constructivist
What is Constructivist?
           A constructivist perspective focuses on the acquisition of internal mental structures and processes, sometimes terms “schemata” and “cognitive operation.”

5.4.   Limitations of the two perspectives
What are the limitations of the two perspectives?
           The literature on objectives from these two perspectives constitutes an ongoing debate between them. One of the major problems with the debate is that it has been monopolized by psychologists, as though concerns about learning and learners were the only consideration in determining the purpose and content of the curriculum.



5.5.   Hegemonic function of objectives
What is hegemonic function of objectives?
           The hegemonic functions of objectives are the official curriculum, the hidden curriculum, and the null curriculum.

6.      Curriculum Organization: Basic Concepts (page 127)
6.1.   Basic terms
What are basic terms?
           The basic terms are: curriculum organization, macro and micro levels, and vertical and horizontal dimensions of organization.

6.1.1.      Curriculum organization
What is curriculum organization?
            Curriculum organization can have a wide range of meanings, depending on which definition of the term “curriculum” is being used and what kinds of elements are to be organized.

6.1.2.      Macro and micro levels of organization
What are macro and micro levels of organization?
            Macro and micro are relative, rather than absolute, terms. However, typically when we talk about “micro levels” of curriculum organization, we are referring to the organization of a course or unit. Likewise, we typically reserve the term “macro level” for the organization of courses to form programs.

6.1.3.      Vertical and horizontal dimensions
What are vertical and horizontal dimensions?
                       Horizontal organization is the aspect of curriculum organization that describes the correlation or integration of content taught concurrently. Vertical organization is the aspect of curriculum organization that describes the sequencing of content.

6.2.   Basic structures
What are basic structures?
           Basic structures are: content structures and media structures.

6.2.1.      Content structures
What is content structure?
Content structure is a curriculum in which all content is discrete, unrelated to, or at least independent of, all other content.




6.2.2.      Media structures
What is media structure?
            Media structure is related to particular objectives and it is useful to examine extreme cases.

6.3.   Typical macro-level curriculum organizations
What are typical macro-level curriculum organizations?
           Typical macro-level curriculum organization is a cultural construction and is, therefore, subject to change. Curriculum study should result in an increased awareness of this fact and of the organizational alternatives available.

6.4.   Organizational principles
What are organizational principles?
           Organizational principle is the basis or reason for organizing a curriculum in a particular way. Without these principles, describing curriculum organization only in terms of the basic structures.

6.4.1.      Subject matter
What is subject matter?
            Organizational principles based on the subject matter are diverse; however, they all base curriculum organization on the way the subject matter itself seems to be organized.

6.4.2.      Learners and learning
What are learners and learning?
            Characteristics of learners relevant to curriculum organization include their interests, problems, needs, abilities, previous experiences, preconceptions, and developmental levels. The learning processes relevant to curriculum organization include the significance of prerequisite skills.

6.4.3.      Teachers and teaching
What are teachers and teaching?
            Teachers’ interests and strengths can determine curricular focus, emphasis, or starting point. The tasks involved in teaching large groups of youths, against their will, and in crowded conditions, act as a strong influence on curriculum organization.

6.4.4.      Milieu
What is milieu?
            Milieu is the social, economic, organizational context in which education occurs may all affect curriculum organization, although this contexts tend to function more like influences on, rather than principles of, organization.

6.4.5.      Perspectives on organizing principles
What are perspectives on organizing principles?
            Perspectives on organizing principles are traditional, structure of the disciplines, experiential, behavioral, constructivist.

6.5.   Epistemological dimensions: the structure of knowledge
What is the structure of knowledge?
           Structure of knowledge is such classifications, if developed, might offer a logical basis for organizing not only macro curricula, but even entire educational institution.

6.6.   Political and sociological dimensions
What are political and sociological dimensions?
           Political and sociological dimension of curriculum organization is a set of concepts intended specifically for the purpose.

7.      Curriculum Organization: Conflicting Perspectives (page 162)
7.1.   Focus: three approaches to organization
What are the three approaches to organization?
           The three approaches to organization are top-down approach, buttom-up approach, and project approach.

7.2.   Top-down approach
What is top-down approach?
           Top-down approach is the assumption that the curriculum should be organized around fundamental concepts, themes, or principles, and that from an understanding of these fundamental concepts the student develops the ability to derive particular facts and applications.

7.3.   Bottom-up approach
What is bottom-up approach?
           Bottom-up approach is assumes that the most important determinant of learning is the possession of prerequisite skills.

7.4.   Project approach
What is project approach?
           The project approach emphasizes “student-directed” experiences with the “real world,” particularly with the social life of the community, rather than traditional subject-matter content.

           Meaning-oriented curricula is increased management demands by changing instruction from teacher-centered to more student- or activity-centered and the teacher roles from the transmitter information, authority figure, or manager to facilitator, consultant, resource person, or colleague.

8.5.   Frame factors: a multicultural view
What is a multicultural view?
Multicultural view is students from different social, economics, and cultural backgrounds, not surprisingly, learn best when teacher use strategies compatible with those background.

8.6.   Technology and frame factors
What are technology and frame factors?
           Technology has implications across all the frame factors. It influences the temporal frame, for example, by allowing courses to be taken at any time of the day or night or throughout traditional school breaks.

9.      Curriculum Implementation: Conflicting Perspectives (page 216)
9.1.   Focus: two approaches to curriculum implementation
What are two approaches to curriculum implementation?
           The two approaches to curriculum implementation are approaches to curriculum based on a behavioral perspective, the other based on an experiential perspective.

9.2.   The research, development, and diffusion model
What are the research, development, and diffusion model?
           Research establishes the principles of teaching and learning; development applies these research findings to the production of materials that embody new curricula; diffusion systematically disseminates these new materials and curricula to teachers for their use.

9.3.   The collaborative approach
What is the collaborative approach?
           The collaborative approach is based on an experiential perspective. Earlier versions of this approach were even promoted during the progressive movement, from which the experiential perspective derives.

10.  Curriculum Evaluation: Basic Concept (page 237)
10.1.                    Basic terminology
What is basic terminology?
Some of the terminology, however, derives from clinical psychology, in which psychologists attempt to use observation, interviews, and other techniques to develop more integrated descriptions of the person as a whole (Adams, 1964, pp. 261-262).

10.2.                    Purposes and roles of evaluation
What are the purposes and roles of evaluation?
The purposes and roles of evaluation are decisions about individuals, curriculum decisions, and methods of evaluating individuals and curricula.

10.2.1.  Decisions about individuals
What is the decision about individuals?
            Decisions of individuals are necessary for six purposes: diagnosis, instructional feedback, placement, promotion, credentialing, and selection.

10.2.2.  Curriculum decisions
What are curriculum decisions?
            Evaluation for the purpose of informing decisions about a curriculum is aptly termed “curriculum evaluation.”

10.2.3.  Methods of evaluating individuals and curricula
What are methods of evaluating individuals and curricula?
            The methods of evaluating individuals and curricula are questionnaires, interviews with teachers, content analyses of curriculum materials, comparisons of achievement test data for groups using different curricula, follow-up interviews of course graduates, and case studies of classrooms are typical of those used in evaluations focused on curriculum decisions.

10.3.                    Standardized testing as a means of making decisions
What is standardized testing as a means of making decisions?
There are definite advantages to using standardized tests. Some of what students learn can be counted; progress in some disciplines can be measured. The learning students do that can be quantified, tabulated, efficiently graded, recorded and publicized can then be used by policy makers to support new program.

10.4.                    The role of technology in evaluation
What is the role of technology in evaluation?
The roles of technology in evaluation are: test administration, test preparation for students, calculator use, instantaneous scoring, test generation software and publication of test result.

10.5.                    Evaluation information provided by a curriculum
What is the evaluation information provided by a curriculum?
The evaluation information provided by a curriculum is to try to identify any evaluation data (e.g., test scores), suggestions (e.g., questions), or instruments (e.g., scales) provided by the curriculum materials or in the research literature.

10.6.                    Evaluation planning as curriculum analysis
What is the evaluation planning as curriculum analysis?
Evaluation planning as curriculum analysis is deciding what to evaluate and how provides a new angel from which to examine a curriculum. The analyst is able to view the curriculum critically and to identify the aspects of it that are crucial for its success.

10.7.                    Perspectives on curriculum evaluation

What is integrated evaluation?
Integrated evaluation has some characteristics, there are: growth-oriented, student-controlled, collaborative, dynamic, contextualized, informal, and flexible and action-oriented.

11.4.                    Ideological undercurrents
What are ideological undercurrents?
Ideological undercurrents is conservative to the extent that is focuses on individuals rather than on institutional structures (for example, tracking of students), and in so doing, uncritically accept the very strutures that may underlie its problems.
          
Part IV
Curriculum Critique
12.  Reexamination and Critique (page 275)
12.1.                    Reflective eclecticism revisited
What is reflective eclecticism revisited?
            Schwab offers the “eclectic” as an approach to curriculum planning. Each theory brings certain features of a phenomenon into focus, helping the curriculum planner to understand better that aspect of the situation.
