Activity 1: Create a visual representation
(e.g., concept map, mind map, infographic, or
diagram) that outlines the different
definitions and perspectives on the term
“curriculum.” This task is designed to help
you understand the complexity of curriculum
as a concept and how it varies across
different educational contexts and theories.
(20) Some guidelines The activity should
include the following steps: Research
Definitions of Curriculum • Investigate
multiple definitions of “curriculum” from
various sources such as academic literature,
educational theorists, and curriculum
frameworks. Consider both traditional and
modern perspectives. • Traditional views:
Focus on curriculum as a syllabus or a
planned set of lessons and content that
teachers deliver in the classroom. • Broader
perspectives: Explore modern definitions that
view the curriculum as an experiential,
holistic, or hidden set of learnings that occur
both in and outside the classroom. • Look at
critical, social justice, or culturally relevant
approaches to curriculum, such as “hidden
curriculum” or “null curriculum.” Graphic
Creation Design a graphic (concept map,
mind map, or other visual format) that
organises the definitions. Centre Point: Start
with the term “Curriculum” in the centre of
your graphic. Branches: Create branches or
sections for each key theme or category of
curriculum definitions Incorporate Visual
Elements Make your graphic visually
engaging by using colours, icons, or symbols
, to represent different concepts or categories.
Ensure your graphic is clear and easy to
understand. Minimum definitions: 10 Activity
