Curriculum is the core of school education and the sum total of all teaching activities in the school. The educational goals and values of the school should be realized through the curriculum.
Curriculum is the core and carrier of educating people, which determines what road students take, where they go, what means of transportation they use, what scenery they have along the way and what kind of experience they will have. Therefore, this course is also called "distance" or "learning course". It can be said that what kind of courses there are, what kind of talents there are.
What is a classroom? Classroom is the core of school teaching and the main channel of school education. Generally speaking, classroom refers to the teaching classroom (and life classroom) with a certain number of hours stipulated by the school. According to statistics, more than 80% of students' school life is spent in the classroom, which is synonymous with teaching. The relationship between classroom and teaching is clear, and the relationship between curriculum and classroom is clear at a glance.
American curriculum scholar Taylor and others use three metaphors to illustrate the relationship between curriculum and teaching: if the curriculum is architectural drawing, teaching is concrete construction; If curriculum is a plan of ball games, then teaching is the process of ball games.
If the course is music score, teaching is the performance of works. These three metaphorical images reveal that teaching is the channel and carrier of curriculum implementation, and curriculum goals can only be achieved by relying on teaching as the carrier.
From the origin of curriculum, the word "curriculum" is derived from the western Latin "Currere". Its noun form means "runway" and its verb form means "running". In this way, the connotation of the course has both the content value of "what to learn" and the way requirement of "how to learn". According to modern curriculum theory.
The connotation of standardized curriculum must have four elements: objective, content, implementation and evaluation. Only by meeting this requirement can the goal of curriculum education be truly realized. It can be seen that the connotation of curriculum includes three aspects: curriculum planning (design), implementation and evaluation, and teaching is the implementation and core of curriculum. In other words, the classroom is the implementation and core of the curriculum.
