Answer the following reflective questions in your Study Notebook:

1. The closure of schools around the world due to the global pandemic posed serious
challenges on the delivery of quality basic education. As a teacher, what do you
think are the fundamental concerns in terms of curriculum standards that need to be
addressed in order to ensure learning continuity? Cite a specific example. Do you
think these concerns could be solved by teachers alone? Why or why not?

ANSWER:
- This Global pandemic brings a huge challenges for the Department of Education
especially with the new normal setting. As a teacher I think the best way to address the
problems is to shift into distance learning or modular learning. By this new curriculum
strategy, we can ensure learning continuity. This concerns are not for teachers alone it
will be collaboration of all the deped teaching forces and non-teaching staff if we aim for
the development of this new normal curriculum.

2. Even prior to the spread of COVID-19 that eventually led to the closure of schools
nationwide, the congested curriculum has been a perennial problem of teachers
(Andaya, 2018). This is perceived to be one of the hindering factors on the poor
performance of Filipino learners. Do you agree with this observation? Why or why
not?

ANSWER:
- Yes, I agree, in the department of education several curriculum had been laid and adapt
for the purpose of achieving higher standard education and can produce a globally
competitive learner. But due to the congested curriculum we can’t achieve our goals.
Students can’t cope with the content standard sometimes it takes time to finish a full
quarter subject with a limited time allotment.
