In education, a curriculum (; PL: curriculums or curricula ) is
broadly defined as the totality of student experiences that occur in the
educational process. The term often refers specifically to a planned sequence
of instruction, or to a view of the student's experiences in terms of the
educator's or school's instructional goals. A curriculum may incorporate the
planned interaction of pupils with instructional content, materials,
resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational
objectives. Curricula are split into several categories: the explicit, the
implicit (including the hidden), the excluded, and the extracurricular.
