1. Curriculum as a Content or Body of
Knowledge
- It focuses what students should learn (the knowledge to be taught).
- Teachers adjust lessons based on what students can handle, making information easier or harder as needed.
- Example: Giving books or materials that match each student’s reading level.
2. Curriculum as a Process
- It
focuses what happens in the classroom, how learning takes place.
- Students
learn in different ways, so teachers use various methods or activities to
help them understand the topic.
- Example:
One group gets direct instruction, while another works together in a group
activity.
3. Curriculum as a Product
- It
focuses on results or learning outcomes, what students are able to do
after learning.
- Teachers
design tasks like exams, projects, or written work that fit each learner’s
needs, level, and independence.
- Examples:
- Giving
assignments suited to the learner’s level
- Letting
students work alone or in groups
- Using
rubrics that match each student’s abilities
