Answers & Explanations

1. D: Howard Gardner first introduced the concept of multiple intelligences. His theory rests on the idea
that there are multiple ways to understand or 'to know.' Every individual will have strengths and
weaknesses in learning, but everyone will learn in different ways. The seven commonly identified
intelligences are: verbal/linguistic, existential, logical/mathematical, interpersonal, intrapersonal,
visual/spatial, musical/rhythmic, bodily/kinesthetic, and naturalist. Each intelligence can be used to help
identify the way in which a student understands the world around him or her.

2. B: When teaching a new group of students, the teacher must design instruction that will be at an
appropriate level of challenge. If course work is too easy or too challenging, the students may lose
confidence and interest early on. If samples of past work or performance on tests are available, the
teacher should review these whenever possible. Doing so will give him or her insight into the students'
past instruction and abilities. However, the teacher should also be sure to provide a current assessment
of some type to account for changes in classroom environment and knowledge retention. The teacher
should ensure that students meet objectives for the end of the term or course, but will need to begin at
an ability-appropriate level for the students.

3. C: Using extensions is a vital part of classroom instruction: students must have opportunities to take
the learning process beyond information presented by the teacher inside the classroom. All students
need opportunities to use what they have learned in class and apply (or extend) the information to
other skill areas. The third choice provides students with a direct application of classroom material on
biodiversity by observing plants and animals at the lake. Students also incorporate journaling and
research techniques to complement their studies. Finally, each entry must incorporate classroom
material so that students are making connections between what they have learned and their current
activities.

4. C: Metaphors and analogies are often taught in Language courses, but can be useful teaching tools in
all subjects. When a teacher presents new concepts, he or she can use these tools to help students
compare them to previously-learned information. For example, the teacher might help students
understand how their eyes work by comparing them to a camera. Metaphors and analogies use slightly
different language to accomplish the same goal: comparing two unlike things. However, one method
need not be used before or in place of another.

5. C: Young children at a Kindergarten or 1st-grade level are still learning to sit still, read and write
fluently, and increase attention spans. For these reasons, the classroom environment should provide a
variety of activities and seating spaces. Certain activities require certain body positions; for instance,
when writing, students should be seated at a desk of the appropriate height, but for a group lesson or
discussion, students might be able to sit in a circle on the floor. In this choice, each activity determines
the type of seating and space allotted, increasing likelihood that students will achieve the intended
learning outcomes.

CURRICULUM APPROACHES (Curriculum Development)

CURRICULUM APPROACHES

The curriculum approaches reflect the developer’s philosophy, view of reality, history,
psychology, social issues and the domains of knowledge. Analysis of an approach provides information
about personal and collective commitments to a particular viewpoint and the values deemed important
by individuals, school and society.

1. TECHNICAL-SCIENTIFIC APPROACH

The curriculum developers which may include specialists, superintendents, principals and coordinators
are likened to engineers and architects who use instruments and empirical methods in preparing a
blueprint with well defined elements orderly-sequenced procedures and quality control measures to
increase the probability of success in its implementation

2. BEHAVIORAL-RATIONAL APPROACH

It is a means-end approach. Curricula developed through this approach become the actual blueprints
which prescribe the roles of key figures in the educative process. Viewing the curricula as the means and
instruction as the end is a behavioral orientation

3. SYSTEMS-MANAGERIAL APPROACH

Motivate interest of all stakeholders. Encourage participation and involvement of all stakeholders.
Synthesize divergent viewpoints. Monitor curriculum implementation. Create a climate of innovation
and change.

4. INTELLECTUAL-ACADEMIC APPROACH

It emphasizes the importance of theories and principles in curriculum planning. This model is influenced
by the philosophy of John Dewey.

5. NON-TECHNICAL/NON-SCIENTIFIC APPROACH

Flexible and less structured without pre-determined objectives to guide the learning-teaching process.
Contends that not all ends of education can be known nor indeed to be known in all cases.

6. HUMANISTIC-AESTHETIC APPROACH

It argues that those who favor the rational approach miss the artistic and personal aspects of curriculum
and instruction. It is rooted in progressive philosophy which promotes the liberation of learners from
authoritarian teachers.

7. RECONCEPTUALIST APPROACH
It criticizes the technocratic-scientific models as not sensitive to the inner feelings and experience of
individuals. It reflects on existentialist orientation. The aim of education is not to control instruction in
order to preserve existing order.

8. RECONSTRUCTIONISM

The school is an institution of social reform. It criticizes the progressivists for putting too much emphasis
on the individual learner to the neglect of the needs of society.

9. ECLECTIC MODEL

Oftentimes, Filipino educators, in particular, prefer eclectic models (halo-halo) which are a combination
of several approaches, rather than commit themselves to one particular approach only. Eclectic models
are not mere patchwork (pagtagpi-tagpi) but a synthesis (pagbuo(pagbuo o paghahabi) where desired
features from several models are selected and integrated into a new whole. - See more at:

PAMAMARAAN, ISTRATEHIYA AT DULOG SA PAGTUTURO NG FILIPINO

Legal Bases of Philippine Education

Hinihingi ng mabisa at mabilis na pagtuturo ang pag-gamit ng mabubuting pamamaraan ng pagtuturo.

Nakasaalay sa mabuting pamaraan ng pagtuturo ang matagumpay, kawili-wili at mabisang pagkatuto ng
mag-aaral at pagtuturo ng guro.

Walang isang paraan lamang na masasabing sadyang mabisa para sa lahat ng uri ng paksang aralin o
isang pamamaraan kaya na angkop gamitin sa lahat ng pagkakataon. Kaya ang guro ang nagbabalak at
nagpapasya sa pamamaraang kanyang gagamitin na angkop sa bunga ng pagkatuto na nais niyang
makamtan ng mag-aaral, angkop sa sitwasyon, angkop sa kakayahan ng mag-aaral at gayon din sa uri ng
paksang-aralin at asignaturang kanyang itinuturo.

1. PAMARAANG PABUOD O INDUCTIVE METHOD

Ang pamaraang ito ay angkop na angkop gamitin sa pagtuturo kaugnay ng pagbubuo ng tuntunin o
pagkakaroon ng isang paaglalahat o generalization. Ang pamamaraang ito, kung minsan ay tinatawag na
“Limang Pormal na Hakbang sa Pagtuturo” o dili kaya ay “Herbatian Method” sapagkat ipinakilala ito sa
larangan ng pagtuturo ni Herbert. Sinasabi rin ito na nagsimula sa nalalaman patungo sa hindi
nalalaman. Nagsisimula sa mga halimbawa patungo sa tuntunin kaya’t nasasabing ito ay egrule na
pamamaraan. Ang pamamaraang ito ay may limang hakbang 1) paghahanda o preparation, 2)
paglalahad o presentation, 3) paghahambing at paghalaw o comparison and abstraction, 4) paglalahat o
generalization at 5) paggamit o application.

2. PAMARAANG PASAKLAW O DEDUCTIVE METHOD

Ang pamaraang pasaklaw ay kabaligtaran ng pamaraang pabuod. Samantalang ang pamaraang pabuod
ay nagsisimula sa mga halimbawa patungo sa paglalahat o pagbubuo ng tuntunin, ang pamaraang
pasaklaw naman ay nagsisimula sa paglalahat ng tuntunin patungo sa pagbibigay ng mga halimbawa
kaya may taguring “rule” o “rule of example”. May limang hakbang ito 1) panimula o introduction, 2)
pagbibigay ng tuntunin o katuturan o giving of rules/generalization 3)pagpapaliwanag ng tuntunin o
interpretation of the rule, 4) pagbibigay ng halimbawa o giving examples 5) pagsubok o testing.

3. PAMARAANG PABALAK O PROJECT METHOD

Ang pamaraang ito ay angkop na angkop gamitin sa pagtuturo ng Edukasyong Panggawain. Angkop din
naming gamitin sa pagtuturo ng anumang asignatura na may nilalayong magsagawa ng proyekto. Sa
pamamaraang ito, nalilinang sa mga mag-aaral hindi lamang sa kakayahan at kasanayang pagpaplano, sa
pagsusuri, sa pagpapahayag at sa pagpapasiya kundi gayundin naman ang mga kapangkat at ang
kakayahan sa pagtanggap ng puna nang walang pagdaramdam o sama ng loob. Ito ay may apat na
hakbang 1) paglalayon o purposing 2) pagbabalak o planning 3) pagsasagawa o executing 4) pagpapasiya
o evaluating/judging.

4. PAMARAANG PAGTUKLAS (Discovery Method)

Ang pamaraang pagtuklas ay isang pamaraaan ng pagtuturo na bukod sa nagdudulot ng kawilihan ay

humahamon pa sa kakayahan ng mga mag-aaral. Ang pamamaraang ito ay nagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa
mga mag-aaral na siyang makatuklas ng kaalaman, konsepto, kaisipan, simulain at paglalahat. Ang mga
mag-aaral ay aktibong kasangkot sa pagtuklas ng karunungan at hindi basta na lamang taagatanggap ng
kung anu-anong mga idinidikta sa kanilang mga kaisipaan at kaalaman.

5. PAMARAANG PROSESO (Process Approach)

Ang process approach ay ginagamit sa pagtuturo ng mga asignatura sa aghaam at iba pang disiplina. Ito
ay isang pagdulog na ang binibigyang- diin ay hindi ang pagkakamit ng mga mag0aaral ng maraming
kabatirang ipasasaulo sa kanya kundi manapa’y ang pag angkin ng mga mag-aaral ng mga batayang
kasanayang intelektuwal na kailangan niya sa pagkatuto.
