The phrase hidden curriculum was originally coined by Philip Jackson to draw attention to the idea that school do more than simply aid the transmission of knowledge between one generation and next. It is a process that involves the transmission of values as a body of socially approved knowledge. The basic idea behind the concept of hidden curriculum, therefore is that pupils learn things that are not actually taught in the formal curriculum and, in this respect the concept hidden curriculum refers to the way, the learning process is organized.
a) consciously - in terms of physical organization of the school itself, a place separate from the home, work place and the like. The organization of the class room- the teacher standing at the front, pupils seated and arranged in rows.
b) un consciously - the way individual teachers interpret the behavior of pupils. The way teachers have different expectations of pupils based on interpretations of behavior in the class.
