INTRODUCTION
The concept of curriculum is as dynamic as the changes
that occur in society. We cannot deny the fact that the curriculum
should be clarified by teachers, and other stakeholders.

common people. As pre- service teacher you have to be familiar with

THE CONCEPT OF CURRICULUM
Curriculum, however, can be defined as prescriptive,
descriptive, or both. Prescriptive [curriculum] definitions
provide us with what “ought” to happen, and they more often than
not take the form of a plan, an intended program, or some kind
of expert opinion about what needs to take place in the course of
study.
The curriculum is the plans made for guiding learning in the schools, usually
represented in retrievable documents of several levels of generality, and the
actualization of those plans in the classroom, as experienced by the learners and as
recorded by an observer; those experiences take place in a learning environment that
also influences what is learned. (https://www.sagepub.com/sites/default/files/upm-
