QUESTION

a. What are their views or ideas of the

curriculum?

ANSWERS

KATE ANGELA LUZ BINUANGAN ELEMENTARY Curriculum is a broader set of things that
SCHOOL students are supposed to learn for the whole
year.

RECAH MAAMBONG It is the complete course of study for a

degree. It also includes specific courses
from different subjects.

INSIGHT:

Based on their answers that curriculum is important because it is the core of

learning and must be delivered in an understanding manner to help the students to be
learned. We have to set goals for our curriculum for what we need to teach in a given
year. And also students have to set goals for what they need to learn and have progress
year by year.

traditional and progressive method of
teaching?

ANSWERS

KATE ANGELA LUZ BINUANGAN

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Traditional schools focus on the
teacher and what they teach. There is
interaction between teacher and
pupils on a particular subject. As time
goes on educators introduce new
approaches/ strategies for the
learners to attain for effective
learning.

Progressive education is
defined as an educational movement
which gives more value to experience
than formal learning. It is based on
experiential learning that concentrates
on the development of a child's
talents and abilities.

RECAH MAAMBONG

A traditional curriculum is a
curriculum story at traditional method
of teaching while progressive
 curriculum improving in teaching
process. It develops the teachers to
have new strategies developing
students' learning. Providing facilities
can be useful in teaching.

Progressive
education is a reaction to traditional
style of teaching. Its values
experience over learning facts at the
expense of understanding what is
being taught.

OBSERVATION

My observation on their answers is that curriculum is important because it is the core of

learning and must be delivered in an understanding manner to help the students to be
learned. We have to set goals for our curriculum for what we need to teach in a given
year. And also students have to set goals for what they need to learn and have progress
year by year.

CONTENT

Teachers play a key role in developing, implementing, assessing and modifying the
curriculum. An evidenced-based curriculum acts as a road map for teachers and students
to follow on the path to academic success.
The curriculum identifies the learning outcomes, standards and core competencies that
students must demonstrate before advancing to the next level. Valid and reliable
assessment of the curriculum is necessary. The curriculum followed by
an institution should be reviewed regularly in order to maintain its
effectiveness in regards to the changing needs of the society as a
whole.Curriculum development helps in suggesting suitable teaching-
learning strategies, teaching methods, instructional materials, etc. It
helps in providing for the proper implementation of the curriculum on
the part of teachers and learners.
Teachers often see themselves as teachers of particular year levels; textbooks
are written for each year of school and encourage timed, lock-step progression
through curriculum content; and all students are assessed at the same time to
establish how much of the delivered curriculum they have mastered. Traditional
ways of organising schools reflect and reinforce timed curriculum delivery.

The primary focus in a time-free curriculum is on establishing where individuals

are in their long-term progress and targeting teaching and learning opportunities
accordingly. This approach invites a different definition of what it means to learn
successfully, one based not on common year-level expectations, but on the
progress – or growth – that individuals make, regardless of their starting points. It
is always possible to identify points on a learning progression that students
might ideally reach by particular ages or stages in their schooling. But in a time-
free curriculum, time-based aspirations of this kind are a secondary
consideration rather than the primary determinant of what students are taught
and how learning success is evaluated.
