iStock_000001233455Medium

All learning that is planned beforehand and guided by an educational institution and carried on individually or in groups, whether in school or outside, is called curriculum theory. It can be regarded as a set of ideas about and application of knowledge that has been gained through years of study, experience, and general observation. It goes through a process of critical analysis by educators as they seek to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of education appropriate to the social, economic, and political conditions prevalent. The purpose, aim, subject matter, experience, etc., and how it is put into practice, how much the learner benefits from this, and the effect it has on the society all determine the curriculum.
