Curriculum is not a foreign word among educators. An educational process should involve what is called the curriculum. Broadly speaking, how the educational process is ideally conducted, should be reflected in the relevance of curriculum content that is made to the educational process.

It is very interesting when the question arises: whether the curriculum is relevant to the ideal of education? To seek the truth of this question, we can use the approach to philosophy. There are three foundation questions to find the truth on the basis of ontological questions, epistemological and axiological.



Ontologically we want to know what the object is analyzed from the matter?

There are two objects that "the ideal of education" and "curriculum". Understanding of education can be seen from various aspects. Education can be defined as the formation of the human person to live a better life in his time. Education also has the meaning of cultural inheritance da process of preparing the necessary skills for living.

In the process of education, need a comprehensive plan. Planning is what is called the curriculum. Historically, the curriculum comes from the Latin, "curere" which means the race track. The first text book that discusses it was written in 1918 John Franklin Bobbit. This is the first time the term was popularized as a curriculum-word for race course, a "trajectory" to be taken in the process of learning.

According to the word's root, Bobbit interpret the curriculum as the experiences that a child passed into adulthood, or to be successful as an adult community (for success in adult society. Since then, the term has become popular among education which was then called the "curriculum". then defined curriculum as "educational experience (learning) are planned or being planned by the school (education units) that can be held at any time (any time) and wherever (any where) as well as in the context of the diversity of the school as a part of the community.
