Резюме	Document-based curriculum analysis is a qualitative research method that systematically examines written curriculum artifacts — textbooks, syllabi, national standards, policy documents, scope-and-sequence guides, and lesson frameworks — to reveal intended learning goals, ideological assumptions, gaps, and alignment between policy and practice. It treats curriculum documents as primary data rather than supplementary material, applying structured content and interpretive analysis techniques to answer questions about what knowledge is valued, how it is sequenced, and whose perspectives are represented.	Textual criticism is a systematic philological method for identifying, comparing, and evaluating variant readings across multiple manuscript or print witnesses of a text in order to reconstruct the most accurate version of the original — or the author's intended — text. Applied since antiquity to classical, biblical, and literary works, it remains the foundational editorial method in classical studies, biblical scholarship, medieval studies, and critical editing of literary works.
