The hidden curriculum is transmitted, without an explicit intention, by the faculty. That is, it is what is transmitted without being aware of it. This make reference to the not write curriculum. This does not always coincide with what we, as teachers, expect to teach and even we can find ourselves in situations in which we are unconscious transmitters of guidelines and values contrary to what we really want to transmit.
It is important to say that always exist an hidden curriculum, because the teachers can’t stop make influence on their student body in multiple ways, many of them unaware. The learning of this type of curriculum occurs, on many occasions, through what Bandura calls “vicarious learning”. That is, it is learning by imitating the way of acting of a model figure, such as, for example, the teacher. We have to be clear about the transcendence of this curriculum, considera all the elements in a doublé perspective: that of the explicit curriculum and that of the implicit one, to make the hidden curriculum visible. In addition, we must be clear that neutral education is a myth since we are always influencing.
