The phrase “hidden curriculum” was reportedly coined by Philip W. Jackson (Life In Classrooms, 1968). He argued that we need to understand “education” as a socialization process.
As a concept, the hidden curriculum has its roots in Emile Durkheim’s Education and Sociology (1922) and Moral Education (1925). Durkheim concluded that society could not function without a high degree of homogeneity and that education, as a highly regulated institution, could provide this level of similarity.
For Marxists, the hidden curriculum refers to the authority structure of schooling – the hierarchical nature of both the structure and process of schooling conveys ideas of subordination and hierarchy that are essential for future workers, managers and bureaucrats.
