My Learning Essentials
Curriculum can be approached or seen in three (3) ways. It can be defined
as content, a process or as an outcome. First, is to approach it as content or
body knowledge to be transmitted. Second, is to approach it as a product
or the learning outcomes desired of learners. Third, is to approach it as a
process or what actually happens in the classroom when the curriculum is
practiced.
