German term

Rahmenlehrplan

German to English Other Education / Pedagogy Education Department Paper
This term is already in the glossary as 'framework curriculum'. It looks like a literal translation and seems unsatisfactory to me. It should be something like 'Policy Statement' or 'Curriculum Objectives'.
Any ideas?

Björn Vrooman Apr 19, 2016:
Thanks, Rolf. I believe that Lancashireman has enough experience in the field, so you got both: the experience and a usage example.

Happy translating

Sorry, I meant to address Bjoern Vrooman.

@tr_dg
Your comment/link was most useful since it showed usage in English! But, given the system, I'll have to select Lancashireman.
Björn Vrooman Apr 13, 2016:
@tr_dg Usually, a syllabus is for one class only. That has little to do with what is asked here.

Rahmenlehrplan and Ausbildungsordnung both govern your Berufsausbildung, the former regarding the classes you need to take, the latter in terms of working at the company. And as said at the link I posted together with my agreement to Lancashireman:
"Local communities will use the frameworks to develop more specific curriculum."

Lehrplan = curriculum / Rahmenlehrplan = curriculum framework
tr_dg Apr 13, 2016:
syllabus Agreed, David. also possible: course syllabus

edit: although, after reading some German references, perhaps "syllabus" and "course syllabus" do not accurately represent the scope of a Rahmenlehrplan (too specific). It seems like Rahmenlehrplan matches better with curriculum.

curriculum framework

You're right. It needs to be turned round in English.

agree David Hollywood : gets my vote :) I remember when I worked for the Dortmund IHK and we always had to submit a "Rahmenstoffplan"

agree tr_dg : Agreed. Certainly reads better than "framework curriculum." It may also be possible to drop the "framework" entirely, or replace it with "core curriculum."

Yes, 'core curriculum' is the name I recall from teaching modern languages in the 1990s (see third answer). I do feel, however, that 'curriculum' is not sufficient on its own as a translation for Rahmenlehrplan.
agree Ramey Rieger (X) : core or basic curriculum.

Framework curriculum

This was the term used by all my colleagues and by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority for the curriculum devised by that Authority for each subject area in primary and secondary education in England and Wales, when I taught Modern Languages in English secondary schools in the 1990's. The framework was imposed on us by the Authority, hence Framework Curriculum - it is a curriculum imposed by an authority on educational establishments and teachers.

A curriculum framework can be devised by any school or teacher for its/his/her own curriculum/lessons. More context is required to justify translation as curriculum framework.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Lancashireman : Your stint in UK schools coincides with my own. I never heard this term used.
