Pilot Testing, Monitoring and Evaluating The Implementation of The Curriculum

This document discusses the processes of pilot testing, monitoring, and evaluating the implementation of a curriculum. It contains three key points: 1. Pilot testing involves trying out curriculum materials with students to gather data on their usefulness, relevance, and validity. Feedback is used to modify and improve the curriculum. 2. Monitoring ensures the curriculum remains relevant and effective over time. It provides insights on what should be retained, improved, or modified. 3. Evaluation assesses the value, effectiveness, and adequacy of the curriculum through school-based reviews or external accreditation to inform decision making.

Pilot Testing, Monitoring and Evaluating


the Implementation
of the Curriculum

By; Edgar Malano


MABINI COLLEGES
College of Education
Prof. Ed. Daet, Camarines Norte
This process will gather empirical data to support
whether the material or the curriculum is useful,
relevant, reliable and valid.
Most field testing or try out follow some form of
research designs.
Using the principles of
curriculum writing and
backed up by the content
specialization of the
writers and the
consultants, the modules
were written.
The printed modules were reviewed by the consultants and
peers, however, there was a need to try out or pilot test
the activities and the field practical by the users who are
the student themselves.
The students
were asked
regarding the
clarity of
instruction, the
sufficiency of
time to
accomplish the
activity, and
their
understanding of
the lessons
learned from
the activity.
The module writers
had to determine
the level of
understanding of
the words,
instructions,
technical terms and
the concepts of
being developed.
The try-out or pilot testing
assures the teachers and the schools
that indeed the curriculum materials
are ready for use.
• Modification and revision are inherent characteristics of a
curriculum. The pilot test or try – out is a developmental
process that gives the signal as to whether the particular
curriculum can already be implemented with confidence.
The Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) is the
original name of the curriculum to the whole nationwide
system of education in 2002. But after one year it was
renamed as Revitalized Basic Education Curriculum
(RBEC)
Therefore, the pilot test or try-out is a
developmental process that gives the signal as to
whether the particular curriculum can already be
implemented with confidence.
Curriculum Monitoring
Monitoring is important to:

• Determine if the curriculum is still relevant and effective

• Know if the curriculum is working or not;


• Provide decision on what aspects have to be
retained, improved or modified; and

• Provide decision that would even end or


terminate the program
Curriculum Evaluation
Curriculum evaluation refers to a systematic
process of judging the value, effectiveness and
adequacy of a curriculum: its process, product
and setting which will lead to informed decision.
In practice, there are two ways of
curriculum evaluation

1. School-based evaluation
2. Accreditation
1. School-based Evaluation
Is an approach to curriculum evaluation
which places the content, design, operation
and maintenance of evaluation procedure
in the hands of the school personnel.
For example, two teachers may
wish to examine a science unit they are
both teaching. They will undertake an
evaluation in order to improve their
individual teaching activities.
On the other hand, the whole school
may undertake curriculum evaluation of the
mathematics program across all levels in order
to re-evaluate school policy and initiate re-
development of the mathematics curriculum.
Some advantages of the School-Based
Evaluation
• Accountability is shared by all, hence bias and
conflict are minimized.

• School personnel develop evaluation skills.

• The real concerns of the school and community are


addressed by the evaluation.
• Broad participation of school personnel provide
opportunities for building school cohesiveness.

• Provides reliable and valid information on curriculum,


resources, and general school functioning.
2. Accreditation
Is a voluntary process of submitting a
curricular program to an external accrediting body
for review in any level of education: basic, tertiary
or graduate school to assure standard.
Accreditation is viewed as a process by which
an institution at the tertiary level evaluates its
educational activities, in whole or in part, and seeks an
independent judgment to confirm that it substantially
achieves its objectives, and is generally equal in quality
to comparable institutions.
The actual accreditation survey visits are
conducted by teams of accreditors usually composed
of five (5) members per team per program staying in
the host institution for a period of three (3) days.

Among the many purposes of accreditation
are to foster excellence and improve programs. The
curricular accreditation will assure the academic
community, other agencies and the general public that
curriculum meets standards comparable to other
excellent institutions offering similar programs.
What are the areas of accreditation under Curriculum
and Instruction?
1. Curriculum and Program Studies

2. Classroom Management

3. Instructional Processes or Methodologies

4. Graduation Requirements

5. Administrative Support for Effective Instruction

6. Evaluation of Academic Performance of Students


1. Curriculum and Program of Studies

Program of studies includes the clusters of


knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and experiences that
will provide the students at any level with the necessary
competencies for effective learning.
For basic education, program of studies includes
the subject areas in English, Mathematics, Science,
Filipino and Makabayan. Any program of studies should
meet the Department of Education requirements for basic
education.
While the CHED mandates the program of studies for
tertiary and advanced education. The course or degree
programs are composed of general education subjects,
professional education subjects and major subjects. They
are also enriched by subjects called electives.
2. Classroom Management
The teacher who implements the curriculum
sees to it that management of teaching and learning in the
classroom follows procedure and guidance to enhance
and create an environment conducive to learning.
An environment conducive to learning considers the
physical factors such as classroom physical arrangements,
ventilation, lighting, cleanliness; while the human factors
include the teachers’ attitude, students’ responses, teacher-
students relationships, student-student relationships and
interaction.
3. Instructional Processes or
Methodologies
The decision of choosing and using the method of
teaching is a crucial factor in curriculum and instruction.
There are varied methodologies that are compatible with the
different learning style of the students.
4. Graduation Requirements

Graduation means successful


accomplishment of the curricular program of
studies. A student has to accomplish its academic
program as prescribed in the program of studies.
5. Administrative Support for Effective
Instruction
A curriculum can be best implemented if there is support of
the school administration. Quality instruction should be sustained
by requiring needed instructional materials, high quality
examination questions and other
support for effective instruction.
6. Evaluation of Academic Performance of
Students
It is necessary that learning outcomes be evaluated. After
all the best measure of a curriculum is the learning
outcome of the students. The evaluation of students’
performance should make use of valid and reliable tools which
are periodically reviewed and revised.
