SIX TYPES OF CURRICULUM: RECOMMENDED, WRITTEN, SUPPORTED, TAUGHT, TESTED, LEARNED



1)  The Recommended Curriculum
A group of people who are professional and expert in the subject matter such as headmaster and owner kindergarten. They also are specialist in certain areas such as open arts and music schools. They have experiences because already working in many years. Government such as ministry of education and state government also are group of professional. People who professional can determine academic standard.


2) The Written Curriculum
The written curriculum is much more specific and comprehensive than the recommended curriculum. State the specific objective is a sequence to master each objective. The written curriculum has five elements which are concept, knowledge, skill, attitudes and action. The written curriculum is an important component of authentic literacy, have the ability to read, write, and think effectively.


 3) The Supported Curriculum
The Supported Curriculum is about teaching and learning material. There is influenced by time factor and role of the teacher, principal and parents. For example, teacher should know the materials can attract interest of the students when learn in the classroom. Teacher must find the way how to using the materials are effectively because can help students to achieve their academic. Parents also can give chance to their children to know and learn new knowledge in child’s environment.


4) The Taught Curriculum
The Taught Curriculum is about teaching method and how the teachers teach their students in the classroom. Active teaching can have many interactions and also can help students to increase their thinking skills. From discussion between teacher and students, teacher will know student’s need. Other than that, if student have a problem in their academic, teacher must know how to teach and explain until their students understand about the topic. 


5) The Tested Curriculum
Evaluation based on learning outcomes. Teacher can evaluate their students when give the test and observe in the classroom. Observation is suitable for age 5 years old and below while for 6 years old and above can give test to know their level understanding about what they have learn. 

6) The Learned Curriculum
The term learned curriculum is used here to denote all the changes in values, perceptions, and behaviour that occur as a result of school experiences. It about the experience in school that students can get with peers, teacher and others. For example, students learn how to respect other people. The Learned Curriculum is about last part of the chapter analyzes what they have learn and teacher can do the reinforcement to give the overall about the lesson. From that, students can more understand and clear what they have learn.


          From the types of curriculum, what can I conclude, as a teacher must know how to attract interest and focus of their students when teaching in the classroom. Not only that, teacher should master every topic before teaching their students in the classroom. When we have knowledge and skill we can help students to accomplish their goals.
