A REVIEW ON THE PHILOSOPHIES OF RECONCEPTUALISM AND RECONSTRUCTIONISM AND
RELATING THEM TO THE APPROACHES OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

This is the second post this afternoon. We continue with our discussion on curriculum development.
Before proceeding, it is important to note that you are expected to post 4 answers under this learning
activity—2 about the valedictorian and 2 about the best fitting approach. You should choose from
these APPROACHES in CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT. These approaches are:
1. Intellectual-Academic Approach
2. Behavioral-Rational Approach
3. Systems-Managerial Approach
4. Humanistic-Aesthetic Approach
5. Eclectic Approach

Watch and listen carefully with deep comprehension this microlecture as ATTACHED below this post,
in which I discussed the first two philosophies of education. This microlecture is helpful in
crystallizing your understanding on Reconceptualism and Reconstructionism as philosophies with the
realms of Education as a discipline. Most importantly, this microlecture would help you realise to
which APPROACH in Curriculum development does each Education Philosophy belong to.

Hello Ma’am Julie, please find below my answers to your overall questions.

A. Reconceptualist teacher would choose Nena as she is holistically developed.

Reconstructionist teacher would choose Perla as she is a contributor to the community.

B. If you could choose one APPROACH IN CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT as I mentioned above, to

which approach does RECONCEPTUALISM best align to? EXPLAIN IN ONE SENTENCE.

Eclectic, as this approach combines and synthesizes concepts from all the other curriculum
development approaches, achieving reconceptualism's main goal - which is holistic development.

C. If you could choose one APPROACH IN CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT as I mentioned above, to

which approach does RECONSTRUCTIONISM best align to? EXPLAIN IN ONE SENTENCE.

Systems-rational approach best aligns with reconstructionism as it's all about motivating and
encouraging the participation of all stakeholders, aligining perfectly with reconstructionist's
wishes to fix society.
