1. What kind of society already exists?
2. In what ways is it developing?
3. How do its members appear to want it to
develop?
4. What kinds of values and principles will be
involved in deciding on this development,
as well as the educational means of
achieving it?

The core elements of primary curricula:
1. One or more national languages (no longer
classical)
2. Mathematics (universal)
3. Science (introduced later than mathematics)
4. Social science (history/geography/civics)
5. Aesthetic education (art and music) in over
90%.

Framing the curriculum for learning and
teaching
Basic dimensions or stages of the curriculum:

1. The rhetorical curriculum (what is stated in

policies and statements of aims)

2. The planned curriculum (found in schemes of

work, syllabuses)

3. The delivered curriculum (how it is taught in

classrooms or through other media)

4. The received curriculum (what is ultimately in the

minds and some would say hearts of the students).
