D. CURRICULUM

Discussion about the curriculum can not be released from an understanding of curriculum, curriculum positions in education, and the process of developing a curriculum. Discussion of these three things in order like that is very important because one understands of the meaning of curriculum determines the position of curriculum in education and in turn determines the position of the development curriculum process. The three subjects were raised in this paper in that order. Discussion of this understanding the curriculum is important because there are two main reasons. First, the curriculum is often interpreted in a narrow and technical sense. The second reason is because the definition used will greatly affect what will be done by the developers of the curriculum.
