Summary:Annotation The idea of life curriculum came as a result of looking back at my past in relationto my studies in curriculum. I learn by reconstructing my past in the present toinfluence my future, and students, indeed everyone, can as well do so.Constructing a curriculum of life is also a continuous process of building, renewing, refining, and adapting self-defining values, ideals, beliefs, ideas, ethics, and convictions to the growing changes in the environment. Students obtaindifferent curricula from various environments. Through a methodic process ofthoughtful deliberation, students can reconstruct and integrate the differentcurricular experiences of their lives. To help students achieve this, there is the needto broaden the conception of curriculum to include life experiences in a way that interweaves school and outsideschool curriculum in the classrooms. And this can transform curriculum into a process of constructing life.
