Definitions
Curriculum planning refers to the creation of a curriculum.
There is no clear definition of what a curriculum is. Some definitions are rather centered around student activities, e.g. curriculum is the planned engagement of learners. Some are more subject centered, e.g. "curriculum is the subject matter taught to students or an arrangement of instructional materials. Furthermore, curriculum can refer to what a school or educational system prescribes for a specific group of learners or at what the teacher does in class...
“The curriculum of a school is the formal and informal content and process by which learners gain knowledge and understanding, develop skills, and alter attitudes, appreciations, and values under he auspices of that school (Doll, 1996:15)”
