In education, a curriculum (plural: curricula or curriculums) is broadly defined as the totality of student experiences that occur in the educational process.

The term often refers specifically to a planned sequence of instruction, or to a view of the student's experiences in terms of the educator's or school's instructional goals.

In a 2003 study Reys, Reys, Lapan, Holliday and Wasman refer to curriculum as a set of learning goals articulated across grades that outline the intended mathematics content and process goals at particular points in time throughout the K–12 school program.

Curriculum may incorporate the planned interaction of pupils with instructional content, materials, resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational objectives.

Curriculum is split into several categories, the explicit, the implicit (including the hidden), the excluded and the extra-curricular.

Educational technology is defined by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology as "the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources".

Biologically, a child (plural: children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty.

The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.

Formal learning is typically divided into a number of educational stages covering early childhood education, primary education, secondary education and tertiary (or higher) education.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognizes seven levels of education in its International Standard Classification of Education system (ISCED, from Level 0 (pre-primary education) through Level 6 (second stage of tertiary education)).

UNESCO's International Bureau of Education maintains a database of country-specific education systems and their stages.

Learning environment can refer to an educational approach, cultural context, or physical setting in which teaching and learning occur.

The term is commonly used as a more definitive alternative to "classroom", but it typically refers to the context of educational philosophy or knowledge experienced by the student and may also encompass a variety of learning cultures—its presiding ethos and characteristics, how individuals interact, governing structures, and philosophy.

In a societal sense, learning environment may refer to the culture of the population it serves and of their location.

Learning environments are highly diverse in use, learning styles, organization, and educational institution.

The culture and context of a place or organization includes such factors as a way of thinking, behaving, or working, also known as organizational culture.

For a learning environment such as an educational institution, it also includes such factors as operational characteristics of the instructors, instructional group, or institution; the learning styles and pedagogies used; and the societal culture of where the learning is occurring.
