The document discusses the differences between an intended, implemented, and achieved curriculum. The intended curriculum refers to educational goals and structures, while the implemented curriculum involves classroom practices and activities designed to achieve those goals. The achieved curriculum refers to the learning outcomes of schooling. Curriculum mapping can compare the intended written curriculum to the implemented taught curriculum by recording what is taught. Backward mapping analyzes culminating test items to determine the achieved learned curriculum.
2. In the SIMS model, the curriculum was viewed as having three aspects: the intended curriculum, the implemented curriculum, and the attained curriculum.
3. • The intended curriculum refers to the curricular goals of the education system and the structures established to achieve them.
4. • The implemented curriculum refers to the practices, activities, and institutional arrangements within the school and classroom that are designed to implement the goals of the system.
5. • The attained curriculum refers to the products of schooling.
6. How can we compare and contrast a. Intended curriculum (written) b. Implemented curriculum (taught) c. Achieved curriculum (learned / attained)
7. First, to compare the written (intended) curriculum to the taught (implemented) curriculum, we may use curriculum mapping.
8. Curriculum Mapping is a technique that is very useful. Essentially, a curriculum map is created by the teacher of the subject by recording what he/she is actually doing in the classroom at various points throughout the day.
9. A second analysis is backward mapping. That is, analyzing items on a culminating test to determine the actual achieved curriculum.
