SOC275H5 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Egerton Ryerson, Hidden Curriculum, Muscular Christianity
Document Summary
Hidden curriculum is the lessons and rules learned in schools that are not part of what is formally transmitted by the teachers and the official curriculum. At the same time, we sit in the same classroom, read the same books, listen to the same teachers, and are supposedly graded by the same criteria. Before we even enter the classroom, we our beginning our gendering experiences, learning and teaching one another what it means to be a man a woman. We see it in schools who teaches us, what they teach us, how they teach us, and how the schools are organized as institutions. These are present both in the official curriculum and in the informal interactions with both teachers and other students the hidden curriculum/parallel. Formal education has been limited by sex and class now in the modern world, also by race: 18th century: largely researched for upper-class boys and men, women were viewed ad insufficiently rational.
