It refers to a set of objectives set at the beginning of any curricular plan. It establishes the goal, the specific purposes and the immediate objectives to be accomplished. The intended curriculum answers what the curriculum maker wants to do. There are certain indicators to measure intended curriculum. Among the indicators are stated questions which can be answered. Examples of the questions are the following:
- Are the objectives achievable within the learners' development levels?
- Can the objectives be accomplished within the time frame?
- Are the resources adequate to accomplish the objectives?
- Are the objectives specific and clear?
- Are there ways of measuring the outcomes of the objectives?
- Are the objectives observable?
- Are the objectives doable?
- Are the objectives relevant?
- Overall, are the objectives SMART?
