What is a hidden curriculum?
A hidden curriculum is a side effect of an education,
"lessons which are learned but not openly intended" such
as the transmission of norms, values, and beliefs conveyed
in the classroom and the social environment. Any learning
experience may teach unintended lessons.
The "HIDDEN CURRICULUM" is a term to used to
describe the unwritten social rules and expectations of
behavior that we all seem to know, but were never taught
(Bieber, 1994).
Bašić (2009) suggests the use of terminological concept that
is contrary to or the least different from the public
(official) curriculum that is perceived as scientifically
based arrangement of the learning process.

The Negative Hidden Curriculum
The negative hidden curriculum is also evident in
the behavior of staff members who manifest their
disinterest in or hostility to the welfare of the
students and the institution through their
interactions with students, faculty members, or
other staff members.
The Negative Hidden Curriculum
Faculty members who are unorganized, disorganized, or
apparently (sometimes truly, though I believe rarely)
unprepared.
Message: Full engagement in my commitment as a faculty
member to your education is not a significant priority for
me; sloppy and incomplete preparation is not a
disqualification for the profession.
The Negative Hidden Curriculum
Faculty members who teach from the same notes
in the same way every year. Your boilerplate
scripts are out there.
Message: Doing it the same way works…every
time. I don’t need to invest time rethinking.
The Negative Hidden Curriculum
Faculty members who are not
publicly accountable for their errors
in class or “create” knowledge.
(MSU principle)
Message: Honesty does not matter
when you can get away with
avoiding it.
Faculty members who become
intimately involved with students.
Message: Professional boundaries
are made to be pushed and crossed.
