Curriculum programs should carry out goals in which component of the educational process?

• A. School program
• B. Instruction
• C. Method
• D. Goals

Answer: (B)

Translating goals into classroom learning happens through instruction. Curriculum programs set what students should learn—these are the goals. The component that actually delivers content, engages students in activities, guides practice, and assesses progress is instruction. Through well-planned lessons, teachers present material, ask questions, manage activities, and provide feedback that moves students toward those goals. For example, a goal to develop persuasive writing is carried out by instruction through brainstorming, drafting, peer review, and revisions, with targeted feedback aligned to the goal.

The school program is the broader organizational structure, including schedules and policies, which supports instruction but isn’t the direct delivery of learning. The method is an approach used within instruction, but the term here points to the overall teaching and learning activities that realize the goals. And goals are the intended outcomes, not the action of teaching itself.
