Which term refers to a curriculum that focuses on social-emotional learning, including person/social awareness, values, attitudes, and self?

• A. Accountability
• B. Affective Curriculum
• C. Aptitude
• D. Authentic Assessment

Answer: (B)

This item targets how a curriculum addresses the emotional and social aspects of learning—the part that shapes how students perceive themselves and others, along with their values and attitudes. That approach is called an affective curriculum because it focuses on the affective domain: how students receive, value, and internalize beliefs and social understanding, along with self-awareness and self-management. It’s different from systems that focus on accountability (tracking outcomes), aptitude (natural ability), or authentic assessment (measuring learning with real-world tasks) rather than the curriculum’s emphasis on social-emotional growth.
