Conclusions
Curriculum is about achieving the expected learning
outcomes and learning objectives, the unit and lessons to be taught by the
teacher, assignments and projects given to the students, and the
instructional materials used in the process of learning and also the tests,
assessments and other techniques and methods used to evaluate the
learning of the students. We have different definition of curriculum but it
has the same taught and idea.

(After analyzing the results of the interview, what can you
conclude?)
Visit the school library/surf the internet or consult the
Activity 2 dictionary. Write two (2) meanings of curriculum taken from
the authoritative sources.

Meaning of Curriculum Reference (s)

Curriculum is one of the


foundational elements of effective
schooling and teaching. When new
learning standards are adopted at
the state, district or school levels,
www.edglossary.org
teachers typically modify what
they teach and bring their
curriculum into alignment with the
learning expectations outlined in
the new standards.

Curriculum is a set of courses, a


coursework and their content
offered at a school or university. It
will serve as a guide for teachers,
without curriculum teaching wiktionary
process has no direction. It will
help them to deliver the lesson
effectively. Schools will not exist
without a curriculum.

Curriculum is a set of course and area of specialization


which is approved to serve as a guide in teaching and to
have an effective and efficient teaching

learning process. Teachers develop their own curricula to refine and improve
it, but some teachers commonly adapt and used the lessons and syllabi
created by other teachers. To create modify their own curricula, they used
the curriculum templates and guides to structure their courses and lessons.
But in some cases, the school themselves purchases comprehensive and
multigrade curriculum packages in particular subject area like mathematics
that the subject teachers are required to used and follow.

FIELD STUDY 4 | EXPLORING THE CURRICULUM 5


My Reflection/Insights

Why curriculum is
important?
Curriculum serves as a framework of what school is.
It is the skill, knowledge and competency that is
taught and learned in the learning and teaching
process. Without a curriculum, learning is like a ship
without a sail. Learning must have a curriculum
where we have a goal and one direction to achieve
and arrive to the destination which is effectively
learn.

How can one enrich the


curriculum in every
school?
One can enrich the curriculum in every school by
making research about today's current state of
education. Conducting a research will be much
helpful because it will provide an information if
learning had progress or not. Once it has been
conducted the entire nation will benefit from the
reform and revise of the curriculum. The learning of
the students will be much enriched and the
outcome will be productive.

My Learning Essential
There are several types of curriculum existing in schools.

FIELD STUDY 4 | EXPLORING THE CURRICULUM 10


TYPES OF CURRICULA IN SCHOOLS
1. Recommended curriculum These are recommendations in the form of
memoranda or policy, standards and guidelines
that came from government agencies such as
DepEd, CHED and TESDA and professional
organizations or international bodies such as
UNESCO.
2. Written curriculum This includes documents based on the
recommend curriculum. They come in form of
course of study, syllabi, modules, books,
instructional guides among others. Example of
written curriculum is teacher’s lesson plan.
3. Taught curriculum The teacher and the learners will put life to the
written curriculum. The skill of the teacher to
facilitate learning based on the written
curriculum with the aid of instructional materials
and facilities is necessary.
FS
4. Supported curriculum These are support materials that the teacher
needs. This includes print materials like books,
charts, worksheets and non-print materials like
PowerPoint presentations and other electronic
illustrations. It also includes the facilities like
science laboratory and playground.
5. Assessed curriculum This is the curriculum that is evaluated after it
has been taught. It can either be assessment of
learning, assessment as learning or assessment
of learning. If the process is to find the progress
of learning, then assessed curriculum is for
learning, but if it is to find out how much has
been learned, or master, then it is assessment
of learning. 6
6. Learned curriculum These are measured by tolls in assessment,
which can indicate the cognitive, affective, and
psychomotor outcomes. Learned curriculum
also demonstrates higher order and thinking
and lifelong skills.
7. Hidden/Implicit Curriculum Curriculum
This is the unwritten curriculum - peer influence,
school environment, media, parental pressures,
social changes, cultural practices, natural
calamities are some factors that create hidden
curriculum.

My Reflection/Insights

Aware of the roles of the teachers as a curricularist,


How do you perceive your role as curricularist?

FIELD STUDY 4 | EXPLORING THE CURRICULUM 22


The role of a teacher in the classroom is not only as a facilitator,
counselor, or an evaluator. It seems that some of us only think that
these roles are done by the teacher every day, but the role of a teacher
does not end being like that; there is a broader and more complex role
they are done every day and that is being a Curricularist.
To clarify things, Curricularist refers to a professional who is curriculum
specialist (Hayes 1991). A teacher handles a curriculum which is being
followed to make the learning process more effective, and this
curriculum is done in the classroom. In past discussion, a teacher as a
curricularist is a knower, writer, planner, initiator, innovator,
implementer, and evaluator of the curriculum.
As a future teacher, I need to have these seven different roles to be a
responsible teacher in the future and to be a Curricularist. To perceive
my role as a knower is to start knowing the curriculum, we need to
know what the curriculum is about; the content or the subject matter to
be mastered. A curricularist writes the curriculum. As a future teacher,
we take down important ideas and concepts and write it as a module,
laboratory manuals or as a reference material for the students to have
easier understanding about the lesson. In planning the curriculum, we
must make annually, monthly and daily curriculum, lesson plans as well,
it will serve as a guide in everyday teaching. The learning process will
be more effective if the curriculum is planned well. We need to consider
the subject matter and the desired outcomes in planning, and that will
make us a good planner of the curriculum. To be a good initiator of the
curriculum, we must implement new curriculum that the educational
agencies recommended foe the improvement of high quality of
education. As a future teacher we have to be open minded and we have
to assure that the new curriculum will be effective in the leaning
process. A curriculum is not eternal, it changes. One cannot stick in
only one strategy, and when it does the motivation, excitement will
easily fades, and as time passes, it will get bored. To be a good teacher,
one must be creative in teaching strategies and must properly innovate
the curriculum. The effectiveness of the written and planned curriculum
depends on the implementation, as future teacher, to perceive this role,
we must improve ourselves, and we must think an appropriate way of
implementing the curriculum that will fit in the learning process. Lastly,
to be a good evaluator, we must consider the learning outcomes. We
must see to it that the desired learning outcomes are achieved, assures

Point of view about the curriculum can either be traditional or
progressive according to their philosophical and psychological
orientations. These views can also define what a curriculum is all about.

The curriculum has a traditional point of view as well
as progressive point of view, each has salient features.
In spite of these differing features, we cannot deny the
truth that somehow they complement each other.
Basically, progressive point of view is just the improved
version of the traditional point of view. It is said to be
improved because it has to consider the changing
preferences of the people and of the society, which
became complex and somehow technical in nature.

Traditional curriculum is really far if we compared


this to progressive curriculum. In progressive curriculum,
there is a quality of education – the teachers are

My Personal Insights

The curriculum as being experienced by the students from


different educational institutions for them is considered being
both traditional and progressive. This is, indeed, because, for
instance, some schools sometimes lack facilities and they bound
to traditional instructional materials. Likewise, in the classroom,
diverse learners could be found. Learners differ with their
learning preferences or in the best way they could learn. With this
diversity, educators must utilize and organize various learning
principles, methodologies, strategies and are learning styles that
traditional curriculum could not attend but progressive curriculum
could, and vice versa.

CURRICULUM
My FS Learning Episode Overview
Learning Episode
The episode is concerned with the different approaches about
school curriculum. It elaborates on suggested criteria in the selection of
knowledge or subject matter. It also discusses the basic principles of
curriculum.

My Desired Learning Outcomes


 describe the guides in the selection of content in the curriculum
 apply the different approaches about school curriculum
 reflect on the basic principles of curriculum content

My Performance Criteria
I will be rated along the following:
 Quality of my observation and documentation
 Completeness and depth of analysis
 Depth and clarity of classroom observation-based reflection
 Completeness, organization, clarity of portfolio

My Learning Essential
Curriculum can be approached or seen in three (3) ways. It can be
defined as content, a process or as an outcome. First, is to approach it as
content or body of knowledge to be transmitted. Second, is to approach it
as a product or the learning outcomes desired of learners. Third, is to
approach it as a process or what actually happens in the classroom when
the curriculum is practiced.

My reflection
Curriculum refers to all subjects or courses offered in
a school. It is a recommend order from the DepEd or
CHED. It may change any time if it is not anymore
helping the learners to progress in the learning
development. I learned that in every curriculum there
is always a process and a result either positive or
negative. It helps the learners building their
confidence, skills and ideas. They can only attain their
goals if they work together both teacher and students
in a very nice way.
As I interview, I learned many things like to identify or
categorize the content. And what are the outcomes
of it, I realized curriculum is really important to us.

Activity 3 Process according to Tyler. Write the answers in the steps.
Give examples for each step.

4. Evaluation of the experiences

For example, the teacher could have


the students write an essay without
assistance. If they can do this, it is
evidence that the students have
achieved the objective of the lesson.

3. Organization of the experiences

Should the teacher demonstrate first or should


the students learn by writing immediately?
Either way could work and preference is
determined by the philosophy of the teacher
and the needs of the students. The point is
FIELD STUDY 4 | EXPLORING THE CURRICULUM 51
that the teacher needs to determine a logical
order of experiences for the students.
2. Educational experiences related to the purposes

For example, if students need to meet the objective


of writing an essay. The learning experience might
be a demonstration by the teacher of writing an
essay. The students then might practice writing
essays. The experience (essay demonstration and
writing) is consistent with the objective (Student will
write an essay).

1. Purposes of the school

For example, a school that is developing an


English curriculum may create an objective
that students will write essays. This would
be one of many objectives within the
curriculum.

My personal insights
Students play as a core of the curriculum. In the K-

composes of subject-centered, learner-centered and
problem centered. The subject-centered is more on
traditional approaches while the learner-centered is

It is beneficial esp. to students whose
families cannot afford to send them to
college because in grade 11 and 12 the
students are taught skills that could lead
them to employment or to start on their
own. However for students who will go to
college, they can opt to get a certificate
of completion at grade 10 and proceed to
college. I can say it was conceived with

The Philippines is one of the three
countries who still follow the K-10
curriculum. So implementing the K-12 is
done to make our education at par with the
rest of the world.
Like any kind of system, K-12 both has its
pros and cons. One of the pros is that
students learn skills for future courses or
jobs in their respective strands, while one
of the cons is the added two years of high
school (SHS). The major disadvantage is
that the government is not prepared for the
new curriculum. Private schools have an
easier time to adjust to the new system and
some implemented it earlier, like my
school, Grace Christian College. However,
the public schools have a hard time making
the system work out, due to the lack of
classrooms, teachers, and resources. So K-

My Analysis

Outcome Based Education goals is to present the


knowledge and skills of an older generation to the new
generation of students, and to provide students with an
environment in which to learn.
According to Saylor, Alexander and Lewis Mode;
Curriculum “Curriculum planners begin by specifying the
major educational goals and specific objectives they wish
to accomplished”. Outcome is the prior in the educational
institution. The focus on outcomes creates a clear
expectation of what needs to be accomplished by the end
of the year. Teacher should be ready and mastered her/his
lesson and at the end of the day he/she will expect that
the students understand the lessons. The implication for
this activity is to develop the skills, knowledge and the
behavior of the students to have a student-students

Activity 3 Answer the wuestion briefly. Why do we need to change the
curriculum from time to time?

Educators need to change curriculum from time to time because


of the current trends and needs of society. This is appropriate
since there is a constant change happening in every areas of
life in the community. And a little bit of change entails ability
and knowledge of work a student has to face soon in his/her
life.
Another reason is the growing demand of workers abroad. The
curriculum has to be aligned within the international standards

DepEd mulls annual drug
test for teachers, students

FIELD STUDY 4 | EXPLORING THE CURRICULUM 87


The Department of Education (DepEd) is “seriously considering” to conduct an annual drug
test for teachers and some students but with the consent of the latter’s parents, Education
Secretary Leonor Briones said on Monday.
Briones also said the DepEd is also reviewing the possibility of mentioning the drug issue in
the curriculum of Grade 4 students as part of their Science and Health subjects.
Briones made the announcement during a Senate finance subcommittee’s deliberations on the
DepEd’s proposed P566-billion budget for 2017.
“We are a very, very large sector so we have to look into this issue. So it’s not only improving
the curriculum but making it much alive and much more effective,” she told senators.
There are 722,000 teachers and 25 million students in the country, according to Briones.
She noted that the drug menace has also affected schools, with “drugs delivered in gates of
school buildings.”
“We can’t claim to be excluded and protected from the drug menace itself,” the education
secretary said.
Briones said the education sector wanted to make a “contribution” to the government’s
campaign against drugs and that “we recognize we have to start on our learners and teachers.”
She said the drug test for students would be for “sampling basis” and “with the consent of
their parents.”
Private organizations and the Philippine National Police have offered to conduct briefings on
the drug issue for students and Briones said these have to be organized so that children will
not be “overloaded” with information.
She also said they were interested in drug rehabilitation centers since a study showed that a
“substantial number who are arrested (for drug use) are young people out of school and
maybe a few who are in school.” RAM/rga

Curriculum evaluation is a new idea for many teachers, not
knowing that every day; the teacher is involved in several components of
evaluation. There are two ways of looking at curriculum evaluation.

• Curriculum Program Evaluation may focus on


the overall aspects of a curriculum or the

curriculum itself. More often it refers to big
curriculum program.
• Examples of these programs that may
undergo a curriculum program evaluation are

Activity 2 Interview a principal/administrator; find out how they

Excerpt of the Interview


My bases in evaluating a school curriculum are
the impact of the applied curriculum to the needs of the
learners, their performance level in the class, and the
values they acquire from the teacher. I usually assess
my teachers especially on how they deliver their lesson
in a creative and interactive way of teaching. Effective
curriculum starts from the teachers because they are
the one who will teach the lesson. So, I need to
evaluate my curriculum as a principal in order to have
active and excellent students.

My Reflection/Insights
Curriculum evaluation may refer to the formal determination of
the quality, effectiveness or value of the program, process, and
product of the curriculum. It is a new idea for many teachers, not
knowing that every day the teacher is involved in several components
of evaluation. There are two ways of looking the curriculum

I learned that in order to have an effective curriculum we must
evaluate curriculum from time to time. Curriculum refers not only to
the specific school but also to the teachers and students. It greatly
