Andrew Seaton in Reforming the Hidden
Curriculum. identifies four curriculum forms which will be used to
characterise the classroom programs observed (in general terms) and also to
analyse the approach to the use of ICT in the classroom.
The four forms
are as follows:
Focused Learning: Subject focused learning and teaching relating to particular mandated learning outcomes and Key Activities that cannot practically be learned and mastered solely in complex,
transdisciplinary or real-life contexts.
Transdisciplinary Investigations: Complex, active-learning units based on significant issues, tasks, questions or problems, each incorporating a variety of particular mandated learning outcomes and Key Activities from several key learning areas.
Community Development: Real-life, on-going, multi-participant projects with consequential, public outcomes, which provide authentic contexts for complex role performance and a wide variety of identified Key Activities.
Personal Learning Projects: Largely student-initiated and student-directed, problem-based or purpose-based learning activities, in which the topic and the Key Activities to be incorporated in the project are negotiated for individuals and/or groups.
