Term
Goal:
The goal of all activities is to enhance
students'
understanding, skill or effectiveness in a specific
area by
engaging multiple styles of learning.
School activities also serve to
infuse fun into learning
as well as bolster student confidence and the ability
to think critically.
Difference:
Some teachers and learners don't know what school
activities, their objectives and plans are and what their
kinds are. The school
activities include 2 kinds of
activities, co-curriculum and extra-curriculum activities.
These two terms are quite similar in nature, but
different in strategy and practice.
Co-curricular refers to activities, programs, and
learning experiences that complement, in some
way, what students are learning in school—
i.e., experiences that are connected to or mirror
the academic curriculum.
Generally speaking, co-curricular activities are an
extension of the formal learning experiences in a
course or academic program, while extracurricular
activities may be offered or coordinated by a school,
but may not be explicitly connected to academic
learning. This distinction is extremely fuzzy in
practice, however, and the terms are often used
interchangeably.
activities may be offered or coordinated by a school,
but may not be explicitly connected to academic
learning. This distinction is extremely fuzzy in practice,
however, and the terms are often used interchangeably.
Athletics, for example, are typically considered to be
extracurricular activities, while a science fair would
more likely be considered a co-curricular activity,
given that students are learning science, participation
may be required by the school, students may be
graded on their entries, or a science teacher may
coordinate the fair.
Still, in some schools certain athletics activities might
be considered “co-curricular,” while in other schools
a science fair may be labeled “extracurricular.”
Kinds of these activities:
