A hidden curriculum is a side effect of an education, which are learned but not openly intended such as the transmission of norms, values, and beliefs conveyed in the classroom and the social environment. Hidden curriculum express the idea more than transmit knowledge. Other than the intentional curriculum it changes students values, perception and behaviors. While the formal curriculum consists of the courses, lessons, and learning activities students participate in, as well as the knowledge and skills educators intentionally teach to students, the hidden curriculum consists of the unspoken or implicit academic, social, and cultural messages that are communicated to students while they are in school.
At the Hidden curriculum school acted as a cultural institute and ideology of large society. Can divided three different variables of the hidden curriculum. They are the organization, social system and culture. At the first variable of organization, classroom management things are included. How to teacher will be assigned and students groped for instruction. While doing the group work student achieved how to work unity, Patience, Generosity and respect the ideas of others. And techer always talks about how to live without disturbing or without harming others. These things are automatically transmitted to students mind without teaching than other curriculums. Sri lankan schools teachers do big work for the coexistence among people by hidden curriculum.
At the second variable social and economic issues can affect aspects of the hidden curriculum. Teacher-student interaction and involvement of parents and community are very important some time that’s reasons to any issues. Srilankan government school also do more works with resource persons of society. If they have good attitude about school they help develop education. Some government school has strong relationship with community. And also that can enhanced socialization of school children.
Sri lanka has a multi Cultural situation. Different languages and different religions are there. Schools are organizing many cultural shows. Student can learn about others cultures and they may respect others cultures. Hidden curriculum is again and again transmitting set of information about culture. Sri lanka Sinhala school organizing Hindu and Christians days about like that Deepavali and chrisms. And also tamil schools are celebrating wesak and posonpoya days. That is great help for the community of malty cultural.
That seems hidden curriculum affected Sri Lankan schools. That impact has variation each other schools about like rural area and urban area. There for directly impact teachers and principals attitude, management also. Finally that seems hidden curriculum is doing more impact for the Sri Lankan schools system.
