versions (simplifications) of areas of academic knowledge represented in curriculum specifications
Example of use:
"So chemistry, in the sense of the content of the academic discipline, will not appear in a school chemistry curriculum. Rather, it will be represented. What is taught is a version of chemistry considered suitable for learners of a particular age, taking into account their intellectual development and prior background learning. This requires simplification of content. The school chemistry curriculum offers what might be described as a set of curricular models of chemistry disciplinary content: reconstructed (or perhaps even deconstructed) versions of chemical concepts, theories, scientific models, etcetera." (Taber, 2019)
