Which term refers to the subjects and their contents offered by a school?

  1. Extra-curricular activities

  2. Curriculum

  3. Class schedules

  4. Lesson plans

The correct answer is: Curriculum

The correct term for the subjects and their contents offered by a school is "Curriculum." The curriculum encompasses the overall framework of educational content, including the subjects taught, the learning objectives, the materials used, and the assessment methods employed to evaluate student progress. Understanding the curriculum is essential as it guides educators in planning instruction and aligning their teaching strategies with educational standards and student needs. It includes not only core subjects, such as math and science, but also electives and specialized programs that provide a comprehensive educational experience. The other options refer to different aspects of the educational process. Extra-curricular activities are programs outside the traditional academic curriculum, such as sports and clubs. Class schedules pertain to the timetable that outlines when subjects or classes are taught and does not define the subjects themselves. Lesson plans are detailed outlines created by teachers for individual lessons within the curriculum but do not encompass the entirety of what a school offers in terms of subjects and content.
