message: *Fixed the article for the lulz - Peace
I fixed this article for everyone and addressed as many issues as I had the time to read. I'm an expert in education and curriculum. I did it for the lulz as anonymous. Peace 50.35.197.167 (talk) 08:05, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fixed that for ya 

message: *In K9, the curriculum's scope and sequence must be "mapped" against the scope and sequence of previous and subsequent years as well as against other subjects.
What on earth? I've worked in education fro a long time and this statement makes absolutely no sense to me?  What is meant by K9 the rest of the statement is quite convoluted.  --Brideshead 17:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not taking a position on whether this "must" be done, but just to clarify what somebody wrote there: By "K9" I expect they meant "Kindergarten through 9th grade," which would typically be about ages 5-14 in the United States. In the US system, often all the students in a school at each of these grade levels will be studying the same subjects, so "mapping" could be possible; after that (in "senior high school") diverse course schedules could make it unrealistic or unfeasible. The person who wrote about "mapping" here might have something more specific in mind; but in general it would mean coordinating what is studied with a plan that makes curriculum coherent across years and across different subjects. jawhitzn 19:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Also note, it was originally K12, usually expressed as "K-12", but changed to K9 in an edit rife with vandalism. --John Owens | (talk) 05:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The start of this page should define curriculum or something. In normal English. Eg "A curriculum is...". Not some nonsensical thing that takes 10 minutes to decipher.

thread_title:  Bad intro 

message: This article is on curriculum in general, of which formal school curriculum is only part. It might be more appropriate if the section on formal school curriculum would be broken out into a separate article on its own, and then Core Curriculum could be merged into that one. jawhitzn 13:02, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  On the suggested merger of [[Core Curriculum]] into this article 

message: This definitely needs revising and putting it into a better flow. It also should come under the generic term Curriculum so a merge is a must in my view. there is much work to do on that article too so merge and let us fix them as one unit rather than two similar units going different ways.ArisB 13:35, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge and Fix 

message: I'm justifying rating this article as "Start" as it is more than a mere stub (has sections, multiple references), but can obviously be expanded with more types of curriculum, issues in curriculum teaching and creation, etc....  Curriculum is everything that is taught in education, I think this merits a "Top" rating.  69.243.168.118 (talk) 01:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Rating 

message: At the very bottom of the  Choice Versus Curriculum topic, the following was listed:
:Curriculum Model
:Tyler's linear approach
:Taba' s approach
:Walker's deliberation approach
:Eisner's artistic approach
As this seems to me as simply someone's unsourced notes on subjects to discuss, I have removed them, and am placing them here for reference should anyone desire. ~ Amory (talk) 00:57, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notes 

message: *Propose merge, on the basis that if that article has anything worth salvaging, here is the place for it. "Curriculum and instruction" is far too vague a basis for an encyclopedic article, and most of the text is clearly lifted from a textbook. Itsmejudith (talk) 19:37, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge of [[Curriculum and instruction]] here 

message: Hi all,
It was clear to me that this page needed a bit of reorganization, so I've made a very small start, moving some materials around and under new headings. I'm most concerned with the mess that was the discussion of curricula in the US, mostly under the header of 'core curriculum'. The question of curricular design is a very different question in the US than in most places, because higher education is very different in the US from most places, so it needs to be brought under it's own header to make sense. Also, there are three main types of curriculum (maybe more? please add!) in colleges in the US, but only one was mentioned here (probably because there was a well-developed page on core curricula that had been merged into here).
Ideally, eventually this section will include full descriptions of the curriculum types with detailed examples of the way they're implemented. It would also be nice to make a few categories corresponding to the different curriculum types, to put the article pages for the schools into.
I'll help develop things more as I have time, but in the meantime any help you can give would be much appreciated! -Mgcsinc (talk) 17:37, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Curriculum types in the US 

message: I'm not sure how this happened, but all the Sample Curricula are links to content-related wiki pages.  Based on any description of curriculum, it is not merely a wikipedia entry. Jelkimantis (talk) 10:49, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Sample Curriculums are not at all

message: I am unable to find a single non-Wikipedia-related reference to "tycoil curriculum" in either Google Books or Google Scholar.  I am inclined to believe we've been had by a hoax.  Therefore, I've removed mention of it from the article. -- Simply cannot be stopped (talk) 19:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Tycoil" curriculum 

message: This article is a bit of a mess at the moment. I'm going to try to restructure it around general matters and then matters associated with primary/secondary vs. higher education. I don't know that much, especially about the curriculum theory stuff pertaining to non-higher ed, so please revert anything that I do that is inappropriate. I'm also removing the "sample curricula" section, which appears to be just a list of academic subjects. - Mgcsinc (talk) 01:19, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Restructuring 

message: Curriculum is used in several meanings. Curriculum Studies is that it is true. برنامه درسی (talk) 12:59, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Curriculum means 

message: This is my area of expertise, but short of rewriting all of the sections on the history of college curricula and their connection to the development of secondary education and education generally, I see no way to improve these, and I have neither the time nor the inclination.  However, there are good books on the history of higher ed which contain the relevant material, not cited nor apparently consulted here, which I suggest someone do.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.66.244.200 (talk) 00:17, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  this is my area of expertise 

message: There is a lot of good work here. We do however expect references. I have splattered a few maintenance tags around. However the definition of curriculum seems very narrow- in searching for recent research I came across these useful powerpoints  written by ofsted for school governors. 
As a rule of thumb they say: Curriculum is :
:The frame work for setting out the aims of a programme
:: including the knowledge and understanding gained at each stage
:then for translating that framework into a structure and narrative for the institution
:then for evaluation of what knowlege and understanbing the students have gain against the expectations
I have not read these 52 sides but  seems to be more comprehensive than we are.
Shall we open the discussion here about we want to convey? ClemRutter (talk) 20:59, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
