The given article addresses the importance of psychological evaluation of the curriculum for ensuring a balanced,
relevant and effective education. The analysis showed that curriculum balance is a central element in preventing cognitive and emotional overload of school pupils. The balanced curriculum between theory and practical activities supports the harmonious development of pupils, allowing a diversification of competences and an increased interest in
learning. In terms of relevance, curriculum that includes up-to-date content and adapted to contemporary social and
economic realities has proven to increase students’ motivation and better prepare them for integration into society. In
terms of potential, the study shows that a curriculum focused on essential skills such as critical thinking, creativity
and adaptability has a positive long-term impact on students’ personal and professional success. Curriculum focused
on these skills supports pupils not only in academic performance, but also in developing essential social and emotional competences. Finally, the analysis of impact on teaching practice and on the relationship with the community
revealed that a flexible and relevant curriculum contributes to an effective collaboration between teachers, pupils and
parents. Thus, the psychological evaluation of the curriculum becomes essential to adapt the contents and teaching
methods to the real needs of pupils and to strengthen the relationships between school, family and community, promoting an integrated and effective education.
