curriculum knowledge  

Definition

  • Curriculum knowledge can be taken to mean a number of things: the subject matter that falls within the curriculum of a school or college, the substantive learning acquired by students upon engaging in a program of study, and the expertise possessed by professionals who specialize in designing, maintaining, or changing curricular programs in educational settings. In this encyclopedia entry, curriculum knowledge refers to none of these meanings, but rather to the kind of knowledge that results from deliberate inquiry into curriculum research questions.
