20 Differences between Curriculum Syllabus and Textbook

WHAT IS A CURRICULUM?

Curriculum: Curriculum is, perhaps, best thought of as that set of planned activities which are designed to implement a particular educational aim – set of such aims – in terms of the content of what is to be taught and the knowledge, skills and attitudes which are to be deliberately fostered together with statements of criteria for selection of content, and choices in methods, materials and evaluation.

WHAT IS A SYLLABUS?

The syllabus is defined as the documents that consist of topics or portion covered in a particular subject. It is determined by the examination board and created by the professors. The professors are responsible for the quality of the course. It is made available to the students by the teachers, either in hard copy or electronic form to bring their attention towards the subject and take their study seriously.

WHAT IS A TEXTBOOK?

The textbook becomes an embodiment of syllabus – all that is in it has to be taught, and that is all that is to be taught. It becomes a methodological guide-has to be read and substantial portions memorized through repeated reading. It also becomes the evaluation system-questions at the end of each chapter have to be answered orally and in writing, reproducing the text from the book itself. Here the textbook is an embodiment of the syllabus and of all aspects of classroom practices.

Textbook: Text-book, book used by students, from text (noun)+book(noun). It meant ‘book printed with wide spaces between the lines’ for notes or translation (such a book would have been used by students), from the notion of the text of a book being more open than the close notes.
