7 Reflective
process that contributes to better performance.

Here is the more detailed explanation of the R. Study so that you can very well evaluate and give
feedback on the curriculum material (Module) that you have used. Curriculum material refers to the
Curriculum Development for Teachers.

Rigorous. A curriculum material is rigorous if it provides students opportunities to develop

higher order thinking skills, decision-making and deep understanding. It also points the direction
for learning but opens for students understanding beyond a minimal outcome. Do the activities in
the lessons allow students to develop higher order thinking? How do the activities launch
learning?

Real. A curriculum material is real if it builds understanding to engage in real life activities
related to becoming teachers. Are the topics significant or important to the life of the students?
How do the topics intersect their lives as students and as future teachers?

Requires independence. A curriculum material requires independence if students are given

opportunities to make appropriate choices, like who to interview or what class to observe and
when to do it. This will make students engage in deep learning and also allow students to learn
from their mistakes.

Rich in thinking. A curriculum material is rich in thinking if it asks students more than just
memorization or repetition. The curriculum materials make students do observations, ask
questions, consider alternatives, evaluate outcomes, reflect and make judgment based on
evidence.

Revealing. A quality curriculum material is revealing if it seeks to show what the students
do and do not understand, but how they understand it. Does the curriculum material reveal what
they understand from their answers in the activities, self-check and self-reflection?

Rewarding. A quality curriculum material is rewarding if students can articulate what they
are learning, if they can share clearly the results of their individual and group tasks. This is
indicative of the Students' effort which is directed toward a well-defined learning goal. The sense
 of purpose is shown in their work as the intrinsic rewards they gain. In short, they are happy with
what they are doing.
Reflective. A quality curriculum material is reflective if it allows students to think about
one’s learning not only about feelings. For example, the statement. . . "I used to think but now I
think. . , a"

These are the seven Rs of the quality curriculum material. They collectively focus on the topics
to be covered, skills to be mastered, facts to be learned and outcomes to be achieved. These are
the aspects of quality curriculum material

Involvement:

Let us use the seven Rs to find out if the Curriculum Development for Teachers served its
purpose as a support instructional material for learning the course.
Based on YOUR experiences in using Curriculum Development for Teachers, rate on a scale of 1
to 5, (with 1 as the lowest and 5 as the highest) the different Rs that describe this instructional
material.
