Answer: The type of curriculum we are using now is the newly implemented
curriculum which is the K to 12 curriculum.
Traditional Curriculum
ADVANTAGES
In spite of the debate over state and national standards reform efforts, it is
universally agreed by educators and experts that a key component of improving
student achievement is raising standards.
In the 1996 National Education Summit, state governors, education leaders, and
business leaders came to a consensus that use of standards will:
1. Help all students learn more by demanding higher student proficiency and
providing effective methods to help students achieve high standards;
5. Provide real accountability by focusing squarely on results and helping the public
and local and state educators evaluate which programs work best.
K-1 Curriculum
ADVANTAGES
The Philippine education system can become more competitive among other
countries around the world. Though there are still some problems that the
government needs to solve before they can successfully implement the plan. The
proposed program is good but it still won't work if the needed elements to make it
work arent present.
Such elements include the addressed problems mentioned above, especially the
number of public school classrooms plus the adequate supply of classroom chairs,
books, etc. If the government could allot a bigger budget to educational needs, then
we could be one-step ahead towards the success of the K-12 program.
Furthermore, parents (especially those who belong in the poor sector) should be
properly informed and motivated of the advantages of the K-12 Education Plan. This
is very important since parents play a major role in providing the child's school
allowances, supplies, and fees for other school projects and activities. Add to that
the support of parents towards their children in terms of guidance and teaching.
Once this succeeds, it is best hoped that Filipino students would be more literate,
skilled, and competitive to be able to find jobs more easily and contribute to the
country's pride as well as the country's economy.
DISADVANTAGES
In Philippines, education system is under low level, thus causing lot of problem
within the country. To develop good education, there was the launch of K-12
education in the nation, which aims in assisting graduates to get employment without
any troubles. There are international tests, congested syllabi, entrepreneurship
training and reinforcement of reading aspects that led to development in
employment percentage. On the other side, there are also few negative impacts
created by K-12 education such as disintegration, continuous class hours and lack of
faculty to handle classes efficiently. Though, K-12 education advantages and
disadvantages have an impact, it is the Philippines government.
5. Personal Insights.
Students now are fond of using computer, they will probably choose going to
computer shops rather than attending class. That is why as a teacher you have to
be competitive and made something new to class every day, so that they will be
more challenged and get excite everyday upon attending the class. For me the
effective way of solving this kind of phenomena as a teacher is that we must use
technology upon teaching. Well make it as our partner in delivering a lesson so that
our students will not get bored. Well make teaching-learning process lively and
meabingful.
