SEVEN TYPES OF CURRICULUM

1. RECOMMENDED CURRICULUM

Perhaps you've wondered, "Why should I take all of these subjects and strictly adhere to the course
flow?" Why is it necessary to implement K–12 education? The solution is easy to understand! Curriculum
recommendations and implementation can be made by the Ministry of Education, the Commission on
Higher Education, or any professional organization.

In the Philippines, for example, a recommended curriculum is the curriculum being implemented by the
Department of Education (DepEd) or the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd). In some cases, a
legislative body such as the Congress and Senate, as well as a university or a school, can recommend a
subject, a course, or any academic program deemed necessary for national identity and security,
environmental protection, and sustainable development, among other things.

2. WRITTEN CURRICULUM

The written curriculum refers to a lesson plan or syllabus created by teachers. Another example is one
written by curriculum experts with the assistance of subject teachers. This type of written curriculum
must be pilot tested or tried out in a small number of schools to determine its effectiveness.

3. TAUGHT CURRICULUM

This is about putting the written curriculum into action. A taught curriculum is anything that is taught or
an activity that is done in the classroom. As a result, when teachers deliver a lecture, initiate group work,
or ask students to conduct a laboratory experiment under their supervision, the taught curriculum is
demonstrated. This curriculum incorporates a variety of teaching and learning styles to meet the needs
and interests of the students.

4. SUPPORTED CURRICULUM

The supported curriculum focuses on putting the written curriculum into action. A taught curriculum is
anything that is taught or done in the classroom. As a result, when teachers give a lecture, initiate group
work, or instruct students to conduct a laboratory experiment under their supervision, the taught
curriculum is demonstrated. This curriculum incorporates a variety of teaching and learning styles to
meet the needs and interests of the students.

5. ASSESSED CURRICULUM

When students take a quiz or the mid-term and final exams, these evaluations are referred to as
assessed curriculum. Teachers can use pencil-and-paper tests as well as authentic assessments such as
portfolio and performance-based assessments to determine whether or not their students are
progressing.

6. LEARNED CURRICULUM

This curriculum shows what the students have learned. Learning outcomes can be used to assess the
capability that students should demonstrate at the end of the lesson. What students can perform or do
in their cognitive, affective, or psychomotor domains can manifest a learning outcome. The learning
outcome can be determined by the test results, and students can achieve it through learning objectives.

7. HIDDEN CURRICULUM

The unplanned or unintended curriculum, which plays an important role in learning, is referred to as the
hidden curriculum. It is made up of standards, values, and procedures. For more information, please
watch the three-minute video below.

Understanding the concepts and processes involved in curriculum development requires you to be
familiar with the various types of curriculum. It also explains why lesson plans, assessing student
performance, monitoring and implementing curricular programs, and so on are important.
