2. In the SIMS model, the curriculum was viewed as having three aspects: the intended curriculum, the implemented curriculum, and the attained curriculum.
3. • The intended curriculum refers to the curricular goals of the education system and the structures established to achieve them.
4. • The implemented curriculum refers to the practices, activities, and institutional arrangements within the school and classroom that are designed to implement the goals of the system.
5. • The attained curriculum refers to the products of schooling.
6. How can we compare and contrast a. Intended curriculum (written) b. Implemented curriculum (taught) c. Achieved curriculum (learned / attained)
7. First, to compare the written (intended) curriculum to the taught (implemented) curriculum, we may use curriculum mapping.
8. Curriculum Mapping is a technique that is very useful. Essentially, a curriculum map is created by the teacher of the subject by recording what he/she is actually doing in the classroom at various points throughout the day.
9. A second analysis is backward mapping. That is, analyzing items on a culminating test to determine the actual achieved curriculum.
