Definition
of curriculum
Kerr defines curriculum
as, 'All the learning which is planned and guided by the school, whether it is
carried on in groups or individually, inside or outside the school. (quoted in
Kelly 1983: 10; see also, Kelly 1999).
History
of curriculum:
The idea of curriculum is hardly new - but the way
we understand and theorize it has altered over the years - and there remains
considerable dispute as to meaning. It has its origins in the running. It was,
literally, a course.
Islamic
concept of curriculum:
According to Islam, basic values are permanent. So
will be the educational objectives. In traditionalism, sources of values are
traditions of their forefathers, While is Islam, pleasure of ALLAH is the
source of Value.
According to Islam only the prophetic knowledge is
absolutely reliable. So content will essentially consist of the knowledge ,
contained in the Quran and Sunnah. Knowledge gained through other sources will
also be tested on this criteria (Quran & Sunnah) and may conditionally made
a part of curriculum.
