There are many different definitions of curriculum coined by curricular researchers.The following list cites only a few examples:

"Curriculum  is a continuous reconstruction, moving from the child's present experience out into that represented by the organized bodies of truth that we call studies...…

the various studies... are themselves experience-they are that of the race"(Dewey,1902, p.11).

"Curriculumis the entire range of experiences, both directed and undirected, concerned inunfolding the abilities of the individual; or it is the series of consciously directed training experiences that the schools use for completing and perfecting the unfoldment"(Bobbitt,1918,p.43).

"The curriculum is all the learning experiences planned and directed by the school to atain its educational goals"(Tyler,1957,p.79).

"The curriculum is not a tangible product, but the actual day-to-day interactions of students, teachers, knowledge and the milieu of school life"(Cornbleth,1991,p.36).

"Curriculumis all the experiences that children have under the guidance of their teachers"(Caswell& Campbell,1935).

"The set of actual experiences and perceptions of the experiences that each individual learner has of his or her program of education"(GlenHass,1987).

"Curriculum is the reconstruction of knowledge and experience that enables the learner to grow in exercising intelligent control of subsequent knowledge and experience" (Tanner& Tanner,1995,p.45).
