CURRICULUM ESSENTIALS

OVERVIEW

This chapter is divided into two modules, each of which addresses a different
lesson related to the curriculum. The first module will concentrate on the
teacher's interest in the curriculum as a curricularist, as well as the history of
the curriculum and the different forms of curriculum.For the Second Module
Definitions, design, scope and the techniques used in the curriculum will be
the subject of Module.It also includes Curriculum Creation Processes and
Models, as well as the Curriculum Foundation, since a well-designed
curriculum can be used as a guide to ensure that both students and teachers
are on track. Its elements are designed to assist students in advancing from
general concepts to more advanced topics or skills.

In learning the program, these are the main topics. This chapter also
standardizes the learning goals for the entire chapter and provides a
straightforward route for students to grasp the curriculum.

Lesson 1 Curriculum in Schools

THE STORY OF SABER-TOOTH CURRICULUM

PRE-DISCUSSION

The Saber-Tooth Curriculum, Harold Benjamin (aka J. Abner Pediwell)


sketched a parable of stagnate curriculum reform. The book is a metaphorical
and historical account of the development of an educational system. This
paper addresses, through the “lens” of Pediwell, the critical need to examine
the foundations of how curriculum and in- struction evolve, and how we
address learning to learn in preparation for a lifetime of change in the 21st
century.

LESSON OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students can:

 uncover cultural origins of education


 explain how certain disciplines become academically sanctified
 examine the impact of technological innovation on employment

CONTENT OF THE LESSON

 THE SABER-TOOTH CURRICULUM

 is an educational parable.
 The story is told in the format of a History of Education professor, Dr.
Peddiwell, giving 5 lectures to an old student at a bar in Tijuana.
 Peddiwell's 5 lectures on Paleolithic Education are a thinly veiled
metaphor for the obstacles faced by our modern education system.

THE CULTURAL ORIGINS OF EDUCATION

 THE PALEOLITHIC ERA

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 5


The Paleolithic Era is an ancient cultural stage of human technological
development, characterized by the creation and use of rudimentary
chipped stone tools. These included simple pebble tools (rock shaped by
the pounding of another stone to produce tools with a serrated crest that
served as a chopping blade), hand adzes (tools shaped from a block of
stone to create a rounded butt and a single-bevel straight or curved cutting
edge), stone scrapers, cleavers, and points.

HISTORY OF PALEOLITHIC EDUCATION

Reading this book provides a sense of irony from the author who
described the flaws of educators and education, that were apparently relevant
70 years ago too. The goals presented in this curriculum wouldn't have
anything to do with the standards of curriculum right now, but the idea of
setting goals is well explained.

 Saber Tooth Tiger Scaring


 Fish Grabbing
 Wooly Horse Clubbing

ICE AGE

These new activities of net-making , snare-setting, and pit digging are


indispensable to modern existence.
 Disappearance of Saber-Tooth Tigers & Woolly Horses
 Water grew too muddy to see fish for grabbing
 New predators arrived
 Fast moving antelope arrived in the land

THE MAIN THEMES

 Many schools are teaching an outdated set of skills and knowledge to


students.
 Resistance to change in curriculum and methods is constant and
crippling.
 The importance of practical, hands on learning in the classroom.
 Colleges and universities dictate school curriculum and standards with
extensive pre-requisites and expectations.
 Teacher training is often more focused on theoretical knowledge (and
acronyms!) rather than focusing on practical skill sets.
 When students learn outdated skills and knowledge in school they can’t
find meaningful work upon graduation. 

BACKWARD DESIGN

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 6


 Emphasis on thinking first about learning sought (Big Ideas) before
considering teaching methods or learning activities.
 Part of the original development of the first curriculum in Dr. Peddiwell's
lecture where benefits to society are identified by New-Fist before main
subjects/skills identified.

CONSTRUCTIVISM

Without teacher interference or domination, let him (the student) always


decide what he wants to do, plan what he has purposed, carry out what he
has planned, and judge the worth of what he has done.

 Individual is involved in creating their own learning experiences and


understanding.
 Self-reflection by learner is paramount to learning process.
21st CENTURY SKILLS

As society changes, the skills necessary to negotiate the complexities


of life also change" (Digital-Age Literacy).

 Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills emphasized.


 Also emphasizes importance of addressing current and future needs of
society through education.

CONSTRUCTIONISM

Behavioral Domain/Application

 Learning Happens Through Doing


 Progressive schools in the story are considered radical for having
students actually practice the skills they are learning.

SUMMARY

Since the inception of education there have been different ideas of


what should be taught in schools. The Saber-Tooth Curriculum holds that
education started with fish-grabbing, horse-clubbing, and tiger-scaring long
before reading, writing, and arithmetic. In the book we meet New Fist, a social
meliorist. New Fist developed the first school and curriculum to improve his
society. This is the first notion of why we should have education at all and is
still one of the main educational goals professed by most institutions today.

EDUCATIONAL LEVELS

PRE-DISCUSSION

The term curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content taught
in a school or in a specific course or program. Curriculum is often defined as
the courses offered by a school, but it is rarely used in such a general sense
in schools. Depending on how broadly educators define or employ the term,
curriculum typically refers to the knowledge and skills students are expected
to learn, which includes the learning standards or learning objectives they are
expected to meet; the units and lessons that teachers teach; the assignments
and projects given to students; the books, materials, videos, presentations,
and readings used in a course; and the tests, assessments, and other
methods used to evaluate student learning. An individual teacher’s curriculum,
for example, would be the specific learning standards, lessons, assignments,
and materials used to organize and teach a particular course.

LESSON OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, the students can;

 understand the value of Curriculum in school;


 determine the differences of 7 Seven Curricula in School; and
 adopt and apply the types of the Curricula in School for the effective of
teaching.
CONTENT OF THE LESSON:

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 11


In our current Philippine educational system, different schools are
established in different educational levels which have corresponding
recommended curricula.

The educational levels are:

1. Basic Education level include Kindergarten, Grade 1 to Grade 6 for


elementary, and for secondary, Grade 7 to Grade 10, for the Junior High
School and Grade 11 and 12 and for the Senior High School.

2. Technical Vocational Education is post-secondary technical vocational


educational and training.

3. Higher Education includes the Baccalaureate or Bachelor Degrees and


the Graduate Degrees (Masterate and Doctorate) which are under the
regulation of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

From the various concept given, Allan Glanthorn (2000) describes


seven types of curriculum operating in the schools. These are:

1. Recommended Curriculum - proposed by scholars and professionals


organization.

2. Written Curriculum - appears in school, district, division or country


documents.

3. Taught Curriculum - what teachers implement or deliver in the classroom


and schools.

4. Supported Curriculum - resource-textbook, computers, audio-visual


materials which support and help in the implementation of the curriculum.

5. Assessed Curriculum - that which is tested and evaluated.

6. Learned Curriculum - what the students actually learn and what is


measured. 7. Hidden Curriculum - the unintended curriculum.

SUMMARY:

Curriculum is a dynamic as the changes occur in society that plays


important roles in every teacher and students. Curriculum is important as
teacher guide in way of teaching because it serves them as a reference to
ensure if they are teaching effectively. These are the current Educational level
in the Philippines: Kindergarten (1 year). Elementary education: Grade 1-6 (6
years). Secondary education: Junior High School (JHS): Grades 7-10 (4
years) & Senior High School (SHS): Grades 11-12 (2 years) and the higher
education which include (Bachelor Degrees and the Graduate Degrees)

Lesson 2
The Teacher As A Curricularist

PRE-DISCUSSION

The role of the teacher in the school is very complex. Teachers do a


series of interrelated actions about curriculum, instruction, assessment,
evaluation, teaching and learning. A classroom teacher is involved with
curriculum continuously all day. But very seldom has a teacher been
described as curricularist. (Bilbao, et. Al, 2014)

The curricularist teachers do initiates in order to improve the learning


process. They are the teachers who are exciting, facilitate students learning
effectively and always having a plan how to create a conducive learning
environment.

Curricularist teachers are also called as a trasformational leader


because according to Baylongo, et. Al, on their Special Topics in Education
textbook that transformational leaders have a clear vision that they are able to
articulate to followers. These leaders are also able to help followers
experience the same passion and motivation to fulfill these goals. They also
encourage creativity among followers, encourage followers to explore new
ways of doing things and new opportunities to learn.

LESSON OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students can:

a) define roles of teachers as a curricularist; and


b) determine the roles of the teacher as curricularist in the
classroom and in the school.

4. The Teacher as a Curricularist

CURRICULARIST

• A professional who is curriculum specialist

• A person who is involved in curriculum knowing, writing, planning,


implementing, evaluating, innovating, and initiating

What does a teacher do to deserve the label as curricularist?

• The classroom is the first place of curricular engagement. The first


school experience sets the tone to understand the meaning of
schooling through the interactions of learners and teachers that will
lead to learning. Hence, curriculum is the heart of schooling

Are you aware that the teacher’s role is very complex?

 Teachers do a series of interrelated actions about curriculum,


instruction, assessment, evaluation, teaching and learning.
 A teacher is involved with curriculum continuously all day.
 But very seldom has a teacher been described as curriculum
continuously all day.

Curricularists In The Past

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 17


- Those who developed curriculum theories.

The most influential curricularists (Hayes, 1991) were:

 John Dewey
o He felt that the curriculum should ultimately produce
students who would be able to deal effectively with the
modern world. Curriculum should build an orderly sense
of the world where the child lives.
 Hilda Taba
o She is the developer of the Taba Model of learning. This
model is used to enhance the thinking skills of students.
o She believed that there must be a process for evaluating
student achievement of content.
 Franklin Bobbit
o He felt that the curriculum was a way to prepare students
for their future roles in the new industrial society.
o He created five steps for curriculum making.
 1. Analysis of human experience;
 2. Job analysis;
 3. Deriving objectives;
 4. Selecting objectives; and
 5. Planning in detail.
 Ralph Tyler
o Believed that learning should be meaningful to the
student and his community.
o It should be taught through appropriately designed and
organized learning experiences
o Learning should be evaluated not only to see what
students are really learning, but to see what changes
might need to be made to the curriculum.
o The Tyler model
 1. Determine the school’s purposes (aka
objectives)

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 18


 2. Identify educational experiences related to
purpose
 3. Organize the experiences
 4. Evaluate the purposes

Functions of a Teacher as a Curricularist

1. (Knower) Knows the curriculum

Learning begins with knowing. The teacher as a learner starts with


knowing about the curriculum, the subject matter or the content. As a
teacher, one has to master what are included in the curriculum. It is the
acquiring academic knowledge about formal (disciplines, logic) or informal
(derived from experiences). It is mastery of the subject matter.

2. (Writer) writes the curriculum

A classroom teacher takes record of knowledge concepts, subject matter


or content. These need to be written or preserved. The teacher writes
books, modules, laboratory manuals, instructional guides, and reference
materials in paper or electronic media.

3. (Planner) Plans the curriculum

The teacher as a planner of the curriculum analyzes philosophical basis,


psychological explanations, historical developments, and societal demand
and influences, and how each should be integrated in the teaching-
learning process.

A good curriculum has to be planned. It is the role of the teacher to make a


yearly, monthly or daily plan of the curriculum.

The teacher takes into consideration several factors in planning a


curriculum. These are: learners, support material, time, subject matter or
content, desired outcomes, context of the learners among others.

4. (Initiator) Initiates curriculum

The teacher is obliged to implement the recommended curriculum for the


first time.
Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 19
Implementation of a new curriculum requires the open mindedness of the
teacher, and the full belief that the curriculum will enhance learning.

5. (Innovator) Innovates the curriculum

Creativity and innovation are hallmarks of an excellent teacher. A


curriculum is always dynamic, hence keeps on changing. From the content
strategies, ways of holding, blocks of time, ways of evaluating, kinds of
students and skills of teachers, one cannot find a single eternal curriculum
that would perpetually fit.

6. (Implementer) Implements the curriculum

The curriculum that remains recommended or written will never serve its
purpose. Somebody has to implement it.

Teachers are at the height of an engagement with the learners, with


support materials in order to achieve the desired outcome. It is where
teaching, guiding and facilitating skills of the teacher is expected to be the
highest level.

7. (Evaluator) Evaluates the curriculum

Determines if:

 The desired learning outcomes have been achieved


 The curriculum is working and brings the desired results
 The outcomes reveal anything
 There are practices that should be modified, terminated or
continued

SUMMARY

The term curricularist is an utterly inessential word substituting for the


far more commonly used term curriculum specialist. The phrase “teacher as a
curricularist” is referring to the teacher’s functions with respect to the

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 20


curriculum. Those functions can vary from school to school and district to
district.

At the very least, a teacher needs to be knowledgeable about the


curriculum because they are responsible for executing it, but they may not be
involved in the analysis that was used to define the goals of the curriculum,
the design that was used to plan the curriculum, or the development that was
done to build the curriculum. The curriculum may be canned and presented to
the teacher. Conversely, they may have full control over each phase of the
process and have done the analysis and built the curriculum that they they
execute and evaluate.

Some Definitions of Curriculum

1. A planned and guided set of learning experiences and intended


outcomes, formulated through the systematic reconstruction of
knowledge and experiences under the auspices of the school, for the
learners’ continuous and willful growth in personal social competence”
(Daniel Tanner, 1980)

2. A written document that systematically describes goals planned,


objectives, content, learning activities, evaluation procedures and so
forth. (Pratt, 1980)

3. The contents of a subject, concepts and tasks to be acquired, planned


activities, the desired learning outcomes and experiences, product of
culture and an agenda to reform society make up a curriculum.
(Schubert,1987)

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 29


4. A curriculum includes “all of the experiences that individual learners
have in a program of education whose purpose is to achieve broad
goals and related specific objectives, which is planned in terms of a
framework of theory and research or past and present professional
practices” (Hass, 1987)

5. As a programme of activities (by teachers and pupils) designed so that


pupils will attain so fas as possible certain educational and other
schooling ends or objectives. (Grundy, 1987)

6. A plan that consists of learning opportunities for a specific time frame


and place, a tool that aims to bring about behavior changes in
students as a result of planned activities and includes all learning
experiences received by students with the guidance of the school.
( Goodland and Su, 1992)

7. As answers to three questions: 1. Whatknowlede, skills and values


are most worthwhile? 2. Why are they most worthwhile? 3. How
should the young acquire them? (Cronbeth, 1992)

Some Points of View of Other Curricularists


Since the concept and meaning of curriculum are shaped by a person’s
point of view, this has added to fragmentation, and some confusion. However,
when put together, the different definitions from confusion. However, when put
together, the different definitions from diverse points of view, would describe
curriculum as dynamic and perhaps ever changing.

Point of view about the curriculum can either be traditional or progressive


according to their philosophical, psychological and even psychological
orientations. These view can also define what a curriculum is all about.

Curriculum from Traditional Points of View

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 30


The traditional points of view of curriculum were advanced by Robert
Hutchins, Arthur Bestor, and Joseph Schwab.

 R o b e r t M .
where rules of grammar, reading,
rhetoric, logic and mathematics for basic
education are emphasized. The 3Rs
(Reading, Writing, ‘rithmetic) should be
emphasized in basic education while
liberal education should be the emphasis
in college.

 A r t h u r B e
mission of the school should be intellectual training, hence curriculum
should focus on the fundamental intellectual disciplines of grammar,
literature and writing. It should include mathematics, science, history
and foreign language.

 J o s e p h S
is a discipline, thus the subject areas
such as Science, Mathematics, Social
Studies, English and many more. In
college, academic disciplines are labelled
as humanities, sciences, languages,
mathematics among others. He coined
the word discipline as a ruling doctrine
for curriculum development.

 Phillip Phenix asserts that curriculum should consist entirely of


knowledge which comes from various disciplines.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 31


Collectively from the traditional view of the theorists like Hutchins,
Schwab, Bestor and Phenix, curriculum can be defined as a field of study.
Curriculum is highly academic and is concerned with broad historical,
philosophical, psychological and social issues. From a traditional view,
curriculum is mostly written documents such syllabus, course of study, books
and references where knowledge is found but is used as a means to
accomplish intended goals.

Curriculum from Progressive Points of View


On the other hand, a listing of school subjects, syllabi, course of study,
and list of specific discipline do not make a curriculum. In its broadest terms, a
progressive view of curriculum is the total learning experiences of the
individual. Let us look into how curriculum is defined from a progressive point
of view.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 32


 John Dewey believes that education is experiencing. Reflective thinking
is a means that unifies curricular elements that is tested by application.

 Holin Caswell and Kenn Campbell viewed curriculum as all


experiences children have under the guidance of teachers.

 Othaniel Smith, William Stanley and Harlan Shore likewise defined


curriculum as sequence of potential experiences, set up in schools for
the purpose of disciplining children and youth in group ways of thinking
and acting.

 Colin Marsh and George Willis also viewed curriculum as all the
experiences in the classroom which are planned and enacted by the
teacher and also learned by the students.

The nature of Curriculum has given rise to many interpretations,


depending on a person’s philosophical beliefs. Let us put all of these
interpretations in a summary.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 33


CURRICULUM is what is taught in school, as set of subjects, a
content, a program of studies, a set of materials, a sequence of courses, a set
of performance objectives, everything that goes within the school. It is what is
taught inside and outside of school directed by the teacher, everything
planned by school, a series of experiences undergone by learners in school or
what individual learner experiences as a result of school. In short, Curriculum
is the total learning experiences of the learner, under the guidance of the
teacher.

Importance of Curriculum

The School system runs on a certain curriculum and it can never run without
acknowledging the importance of curriculum. Without a proper curriculum, a
school cannot run smoothly. As there would be no defined idea of what the
plan is to teach students studying at the institution. What the goal of teaching
a subject is there needs to be a definite goal in mind of the administration that
what do they want the children to be capable of when they complete their
academic period in that institution.

While on the other hand, if the syllabus is too difficult for most of the students.
Then the administration needs to redefine the syllabus to a less difficult
version. The presently employed curriculum needs active inclusion from the
administration. Through thorough management of the curriculum, we can
move towards a more effective academic environment with skilled and hard-
working students.

Why Curriculum is Important?

Curriculum is the backbone of the whole educational process.

Without curriculum, we cannot conceive any educational endeavor. Thus, the


curriculum in a literal sense, is a pathway towards a goal.

Nature Of Curriculum

Nature of curriculum Close examination of them reveals the difficulty in


deciding the basic nature of curriculum.

1. Is it thought of as a programme and pattern of offerings?

2. Is thought of to be a content of courses?

3. Is it thought of to be experiences through which knowledge is


communicated?

Nature of curriculum Curriculum is that which makes a difference between


maturity and immaturity, between growth and stasis, between literacy and
illiteracy, between sophistication (intellectual, moral, social and emotional)
and simplicity. It is the accumulated heritage of man’s knowledge filtered
through the prisms of contemporary demands and pressures. It is that wisdom

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 35


considered relevant to any age in any given location. It is that we choose from
our vast amount of heritage of wisdom to make a difference in the life of man.

Scope Of Curriculum

Scope refers to the breadth of the curriculum- the content, learning


experiences and activities to be included in the curriculum. The scope can be
arrived at by answering the following questions: What do young people need
in order to succeed in the society? What are the needs of the locality, society,
nation and world? What are the essentials of the discipline?

Summary:

In conclusion, the term “curriculum” may be said to be total package of what


schools do to make the learners become what society expects them to
become, namely good citizens, who are not only able to understand or learn
certain school subjects, but fully integrate individuals that are able to fit into
society and contribute their own share as well, to the progress of that society.

Lesson 2
Approaches to School Curriculum

Pre-Discussion:

Approaches to school curriculum gives us the idea on how the


curriculum happens in the classroom as the questions as by the teacher and
learning activities engaged in by the students. The process of the teaching
and learning process becomes the central concern of teaching to emphasize
critical thinking, thinking meaning-making and heads on, hands-on doing and
many others. There are the ways of teaching, ways of managing the content,
guiding learning, methods of teaching and learning and strategies of teaching
or delivery modes.

Lesson Objectives:

 Describe the different approaches to school curriculum


 Explain by example how the approaches clarify the definition of curriculum
 Reflect on how the three approaches interrelate with each other

Content of the Lesson:

Three Ways of Approaching a Curriculum


Curriculum can be approached or seen in three ways. It can be
defined as a content, a process or an outcome. If you examine the
definitions provided by the experts in the field, there are three ways of
approaching a curriculum. First, is to approach it as content or a body
of knowledge to be transmitted. Second, is to approach it is 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.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 42


1. Curriculum as a Content or Body of Knowledge

It is quite common for traditionalists to equate a curriculum as a


topic outline, subject matter, or concepts to be included in the syllabus or
a books. For example, a primary school mathematics curriculum consist
of topics on addition, multiplication, subtraction, division, distance, weight
and many more. Another example is in secondary school science that
involves the study of biological science, physical science, environmental
science and earth science. Textbooks tend to begin with biological
science such are plants and animals, physical science with the physical
elements, force and motion, earth science with the layers of the earth and
environmental science with the interaction of the biological and physical
science and earth’s phenomena, climate, vegetation followed by
economic activities such as agriculture, mining industries, urbanization
and so forth.

If curriculum is equated as content, then the focus will be the body of


knowledge to be transmitted to students using appropriate teaching
method. There can be a likelihood that teaching will be limited to the
acquisition of facts, concepts and principles of the subject matter,
however, the content or subject matter can also be taken as a means to
an end.

All curricula have content regardless of their design or models. The


fund of knowledge is the repository of accumulated discoveries and
inventions of man from the explorations of the earth and as product of
research. In most educational setting, curriculum is anchored on a body of
knowledge or discipline.

There are four ways of presenting the content in the curriculum.


These are:

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 43


1. topical approach, where much contents is based on knowledge
and experience are included;
2. concept approach with fewer topics in clusters around major
and sub concepts and their interaction, with relatedness
emphasized;
3. thematic approach as a combination of concepts that develops
conceptual structures and
4. modular approach that leads to complete units of instruction.

Criteria in the Selection of Content

There are some suggested criteria in the selection of knowledge


or subject matter. (Scheffer, 1970 in Bilbao, et al 2009)

1. Significance - Content should contribute to ideas, concepts,


principles and generalization that should attain the overall purpose of
the curriculum. It is significant if content becomes the means of
developing cognitive, affective or psychomotor skills of the learner.
As a education is a way of preserving culture, content will be
significant when this will address the cultural context of the learners.

2. Validity - The authenticity of the subject matter, forms is validity.


Knowledge becomes obsolete with the fast changing times. Thus
there is a need for validity check and verification at a regular interval,
because content which maybe valid in its original form may not
continue to be valid in the current times.

3. Utility - Usefulness of the content in the curriculum is relative to the


learners, who are going to use these. Utility can be relative to time. It
may have been useful in the past, but may not be useful now or in the
future. Questions like: Will I use this in my future job? Will it add

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 44


meaning to my life as a lifelong learner? Or will the subject matter be
useful in solving current concerns?

4. Learnability - The complexity of the content should be within the


range of experience of the learners. This is based on the
psychological principles of learning. Appropriate organization of
content standards and sequencing of contents are two basic
principles that would influence learnability.

5. Feasibilty- Can the subject content be learned within the time


allowed, resource available, expertise of the teachers and the nature
of the learners? Are there contents of learning which can be learned
beyond the formal teaching-learning engagement? Are there
opportunities provided to learn these?

6. Interest - Will the learners take interest in the content? Why? Are the
contents meaningful? What value will the contents have in the
present and future life of the learners? Interest is one of the driving
force for students to learn better.

The selection of the subject matter or content, aside from the seven
criteria mentioned earlier, may include the following guide in the
selection of the CONTENT.

Guide in the Selection of the Content in the Curriculum


1. Content is commonly used in the daily life.
2. Content is appropriate to the maturity levels and abilities of the learners
3. Content is valuable in meeting the needs and competencies of the
future career.
4. Content is related to other subject fields or discipline for
complementation and integration.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 45


5. Content is important in the transfer of learning in other disciplines

BASIC Principles of Curriculum Content


In 1952, Palma proposed the principle of BASIC as a guide in
addressing CONTENT in the curriculum B.A.S.I.C refers to Balance,
Articulation, Sequence, Integration and Continuity. In organizing
content or putting together subject matter, these principles are useful
as as guide.

Balance - Content should be fairly distributed in depth and breadth.


This will guarantee that significant contents should be covered to avoid
too much or too little of the contents needed with in the time allocation.

Articulation - As the content complexity progresses with the


educational levels, vertically or horizontally across the same discipline
smooth connections or bridging should be provided. This will assure no
gaps or overlaps in the content. Seamlessness in the content is desired
and can be assured if there is articulation in the curriculum. Thus, there
is a need off team among writers and implementers of curriculum.

Sequence - The logical arrangement of the content refers to


sequence or order. This can be done vertically for deepening the
content or horizontally for broadening the same content. In both ways,
the pattern usually is from easy to complex, what is known to the
unknown, what is current to something in the future.

Integration - Content in the curriculum does not stand alone or in


isolation. It has some ways of relatedness or connectedness to other
contents. Contents should be infused in other disciplines whenever
possible. This will provide a wholistic or unified view of curriculum
instead of segmentation. Contents which can be integrated to other
disciplines acquire a higher premium than when isolated.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 46


Continuity - Content when viewed as a curriculum should
continuously flow as it was before, to where it is now and where it will
be in the future. It should be perennial. It endures time. Content may
not be in the same form and substance as seen in the past since
changes and developments in curriculum occur. Constant repetition,
reinforcement and enhancement of content are all elements of
continuity .

2. Curriculum Approached as a Process


We have seen that the curriculum can be approached as content.
On the other hand, it can also be approached as a process. Here, a
curriculum is not seen as a physical thing or a noun, but as a verb or
an action. It is the interaction among the teachers, students and
content. As a process, curriculum happens in the classroom as the
question asked by the teacher and the learning activities engaged in by
the students. It is an active process with emphasis on the context in
which the processes occurs. Used in analogy of the a recipe in a
cookbook, a recipe is the content while the ways of cooking is the
process.

This section will not discuss in detail the different teaching


strategies from where learning experiences are derived. Rather, it will
describe how the process as a descriptor of curriculum is understood.
The content is the substance of the curriculum, how the contents will
be communicated and learned will be addressed by the process.

To teachers, the process is very critical. This is the other side of the
coin: instruction, implementation, teaching. These three words connote
the process in the curriculum. When educators ask teachers: What
curriculum are you using? Some of the answers will be: 1. Problem
based. 2. Hands-on, Mind On 3. Cooperative Learning 4.Blended
Curriculum 5.On-line 6.Case-based and many more. These responses
approach curriculum as a Process. These are the ways of teaching,

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 47


ways of managing the content, guiding learning, methods of teaching
and learning strategies of teaching or delivery modes. In all of these,
there are activities and actions that every teacher and learner do
together or learners are guided by the teacher. Some of the strategies
are time-tested traditional methods while others are emerging delivery
modes.

When curriculum is approached as a PROCESS, guiding principles


are presented.

1. Curriculum process in the form of teaching methods or strategies is


means to achieve the end.
2. There is no single best process or method. Its effectiveness will
depend on the desired learning outcomes, the learners, support
materials and the teacher.
3. Curriculum process should stimulate the learners’ desire to develop
the cognitive, affective, psychomotor domains in each individual.
4. In the choice of methods, learning and teaching styles should be
considered.
5. Every method or process should result to learning outcomes which can
be described as cognitive, affective and psychomotor.
6. Flexibility in the use of the process or methods should be considered.
An effective process will always result to learning outcomes.
7. Both teaching and learning are the two important processes in the
implementation of the curriculum.

3. Curriculum as a Product
Besides viewing curriculum as content that is to be transmitted, or
process that gives action using the content, it has also been viewed as
a product. In other words, product is what the students desire to
achieve as a learning outcomes.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 48


The product from the curriculum is a student equipped with the
knowledge, skills and values to function effectively and efficiently
Approach. The real purpose of education is to bring about significant
changes in students’ pattern of behavior. It is important that any
statement of objectives or intended outcomes of the school should be a
statement of changes to take place in the students. Central to the
approach is the formulation of behavioural objectives stated as
intended learning outcomes or desired products so that content and
teaching methods may be organized and the results evaluated. A
product of learning is operationalized as knowledge, skills, and values.

Curriculum product is expressed in form of outcomes which are


referred to as the achieved learning outcomes. There maybe several
desired learning outcomes, but if the process is not successful, then no
learning outcomes will be achieved. These learned or achieved
learning outcomes are demonstrated by the person who has
meaningful experiences in the curriculum. All of these are result of
planning, content and processes in the curriculum.

Challenge, any ideas of the audience will be asked to know about their
knowledge about the topic. Explanation of why do we need to know
approaches to school curriculum to use it in our way of our teaching in the
future. How we use the approaches, and the process of it. Making the
curriculum efficient and effective as it is by following approaches that make it
effective and gains improvement.

Summary:
Approaches to School Curriculum has 3 subtopics, Curriculum
as a Content, Curriculum as a Process and Curriculum as a Product. It
is quite common for traditionalists to equate a curriculum as a topic
outline, subject matter, or concepts to be included in the syllabus or a
books. As to present this content in curriculum there are four ways:
Topical Approach, Concept Approach, Thematic Approach and
Modular Approach. As for the curriculum as a process: Curriculum

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 49


process in the form of teaching methods or strategies are means to
achieve the end. There is no single best process or method. Its
effectiveness will depend on the desired learning outcomes, the
learners, support materials and the teacher. And lastly Curriculum as a
Product, the product from the curriculum is a student equipped with the
knowledge, skills and values to function effectively and efficiently.
Curriculum product is expressed in the form of outcomes which are
referred to as the achieved learning outcomes.

Assessment/ Evaluation:
Give at least 5 criteria in selection of content in school curriculum and explain
it by your own understanding.

Assignment:
Write a reflection about approaches in school curriculum.

The Three Ways of Approaching
Curriculum
 Curriculum as a content
 Curriculum as a process
 Curriculum as a product

A. Curriculum as a Content or Body


of Language
• It is quite common for

subject matter, or concepts to
be included in the syllabus or a
books.
• If curriculum is equated as
content, then the focus will be
the body of knowledge to be

using appropriate teaching
method.
I. Four ways of presenting the
content in the curriculum
• 1. Topical approach, where
much content is based on
knowledge, and
experiences are included;
• 2. Concept approach with fewer
topic in clusters around major
and sub
concepts and their
interaction, with relatedness
emphasized;
• 3. Thematic approach as a
combination of concepts that

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 52


develop
conceptual structures, and
• 4. Modular approach that leads
to complete units of instruction.

II. Criteria in the selection of


content
• Significance- Content should
contribute to ideas, concepts,
principles and generalization
that should attain the overall
purpose of the curriculum.
• Validity- The authenticity of the
subject matter forms its validity.
Knowledge becomes obsolete
with the fast changing times.
• Utility- Usefulness of the
content in the curriculum is
relative to the learners who are
going to use these. Utility can
be relative to time.
• Learnability- The complexity of
the content should be within the
range of experiences of the
learners.
• Feasibility- Can the subject
content be learned within the
time allowed,
resources available, expertise
of the teachers and the nature
of the
learners?
• Interest- Will the learners take
interest in the content? Why?

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 53


Are the
contents meaningful? What are
the value will the content have
in the
future life of the learners?
Interest is one of the driving
forces for
students to learn?
III. Guide in the Selection of the
Content in the Curriculum
 Common used in daily life
 Appropriate to the maturity
levels and abilities of the
learners
 Valuable in the meeting the
needs and competencies of the
future
career
 Related to other subject fields
or discipline for
complementation and
integration
 Important in the transfer of
learning to other disciplines
IV. Basic Principles of Curriculum
 Balance - Content should be
fairly distributed in depth and
breadth.
 Articulation - As the content
complexity progresses with the
educational levels, vertically or
horizontally, across the same
discipline smooth connections
or bridging should be provided.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 54


 Sequence - The logical

contents. Contents should be
infused with other disciplines
whenever possible.
 Continuity - Content when
viewed as curriculum should
continuously flow as it before, to
where it is now, and where it
will be in the future.

B. Curriculum as a process
I. Guiding Principles
 Curriculum process in the form
of teaching methods or
strategies are means to achieve
the end.
 There is no single best process
or method. Its effectiveness will
depend on the desired learning
outcomes, the learners, support
materials and the teacher.
 Curriculum process should

stimulate the learners `desire
to develop the cognitive,
effective, psychomotor domains
in each
individual.
 In the choice of methods,
learning and teaching styles
should be
considered.
 Every method or process
should result to learning
outcomes which can
be described as cognitive,
effective and psychomotor.
 Flexibility in the use of the
process or methods should be
considered.
An effective process will
always result to learning
outcomes.
 Both teaching and learning are

curriculum.

C. Curriculum as a Product
 The product from the curriculum
is a student equipped with the
knowledge, skills and values to
function effectively and
efficiently.
 Curriculum product is
expressed in form of outcomes

which are referred to as the
achieved learning outcomes.

Conclusion
• The contents of school
curriculum should contribute to
the ideas, concepts, principles,
and generalization that should
attain the overall purpose of the “No sir”
curriculum. Content becomes
the means of developing
cognitive, affective, or
psychomotor skills of the
learners. “We think too much
about effective methods of
teaching and not enough about
effective methods of learning.” It
means that we should focus on
the methods or approaches on
how students will learning not
too much in the methods or
approaches of how we should
teach. Make sense, after all it is
the student that we focus to
make them learn.

Lesson 3

Curriculum Development Processes and Models

PRE- A curriculum is the combination of instructional


DISCUSSION practices, learning experiences, and students’ performance
assessment that are designed to bring out and evaluate the
target learning outcome of a particular course.

It also a design plan for learning that requires


the purposeful and proactive organization, sequencing
and management of the interactions among the
teacher, students and content knowledge we want
students to acquire.
Curriculum processes are:
 Curriculum planning
 Curriculum designing
 Curriculum implementing
 Curriculum evaluating
There are models presented to us from well-
known curricularists like Ralph Tyler, Hilda Taba,
Galen Saylor and William Alexander which would help
clarify the process of curriculum development.
OBJECTIVES At the end of this lesson, you’re expected to:

“Curriculum Development and Process”
1. Curriculum Planning- consist of mission, vision and
goals.
2. Curriculum Designing-is the way curriculum being
conceptualize to include the selection and organization
of content, the selection of learning experience or
activities and selection of the assessment procedure
and tools to measure achieved learning outcomes.
3. Curriculum implementing - in the classroom setting
or the learning environment. The teacher who the
facilitator of learning leads in putting into action the
plan which is based on the curriculum design.
4. Curriculum Evaluating - determines the extent to
which the desired outcomes have been achieved. This
procedure is ongoing as in finding the progress of
learning (formative) or the mastery of learning
(summative).

Galen Saylor and William Alexander (1974) viewed
curriculum development as consisting of four (4) steps.
According to them, curriculum is “a plan for providing sets of
learning opportunities to achieve broad education goals and
related specific objectives for an identifiable population
served by a single school center”

THE FOUR STEPS

1. Goals, Objectives and Domain


The model indicates that curriculum planners begin by
specifying the major educational goal and represents a
curriculum domain and they advocate 4 major goals or
domains: personal development, human relations continued
learning skills and specification. The goals, objectives and
domains are selected after careful consideration of several
external variables such as findings from educational research,
accreditation standards, views of community groups and
others.

2. Curriculum Designing
Once the goals, objectives and domain have been
established, planners move into process of designing the
curriculum. Here decision is made on the appropriate learning
opportunities for each will be provided.

3. Curriculum Implementation
After the design have been created the next step is
implementation of the designs by teachers. Based on the
design of the curriculum plan teachers would specify
instructional objectives and then select relevant teaching
methods and strategies to achieve the desired outcomes
among students in the classroom.

4. Evaluation
Finally, curriculum planner and teachers engage in
evaluation. The model proposed that evaluation should be
comprehensive using a variety of evaluation techniques.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 62


Evaluation should involve the total educational programed of
the school and the curriculum plan, the effectiveness of
instruction and the achievement of students. Through the
evaluation process, curriculum planners and developers can
determine whether or nor the goals of the school and the
objectives of instruction have been met.

SUMMARY Curriculum development focuses primarily on content


and areas related to it. It encompasses the macro or broadly
(RECAPULATION based activities that impact on a wide range of programs,
OF THE courses, and student experiences. Curriculum activities are
IMPORTANT typically conducted prior to and at higher level than

Curriculum

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 65


 Curriculum is a dynamic process.
 In curriculum development, there are always changes that occur that
are intended for improvement.
 There are models presented to us from well-known curricularists like
Ralph Tyler, Hilda Taba, Galen Saylor and William Alexander which
would help clarify the process of curriculum development.

“CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AND PROCESS”

1. Curriculum Planning- consist of mission, vision and goals.


2. Curriculum Designing-is the way curriculum being conceptualize to
include the selection and organization of content, the selection of learning
experience or activities and selection of the assessment procedure and
tools to measure achieved learning outcomes.
3. Curriculum implementing- in the classroom setting or the learning
environment. The teacher who the facilitator of learning leads in putting
into action the plan which is based on the curriculum design.
4. Curriculum Evaluating- determines the extent to which the desired
outcomes have been achieved. This procedure is ongoing as in finding the
progress of learning (formative) or the mastery of learning (summative).

The CURICULUM MODELS


Tyler’s Model
Objectives- stating the aims and objectives of the program based on the
respective philosophy of education.
Content- selecting the contents or subject matter to helps students
achieve the objectives.
Method- deciding on the method to organize and present the
contents.
Evaluation- determining the method to measure the extent the objectives
are achieved.

Lesson 1

Fundamentals of Curriculum Designing

PRE DISCUSSION

As a teacher, one has to be a curriculum designer, curriculum


implementer and a curriculum evaluator. Hence, it would be a great
help to know how school curricula how being made or crafted.

LESSON OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students can:

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 92


1. define what is curriculum design,
2. discuss what are the types of curriculum design, and
3. appreciate the value of elements/components of curriculum design
in making a lesson plan.

CONTENT OF THE LESSON

Curriculum is considered “the heart of any learning institution” which means


that schools or universities cannot exist without it.

Fundamental is one of the basic and important part of something.

Design is used as a verb to designate a process (as in “designing a


curriculum), or as a noun to denote a particular plan resulting from a design
process (as in a curriculum design).
Curriculum design refers to the structure or arrangement of the components
or elements of the curriculum.

TYPES OF CURRICULUM DESIGN


May be broadly categorized into the following major groups:
1. Traditional or subject centered design
2. Learner-centered designs
3. Problem-centered or society centered designs

Traditional Designs – are subject centered. The emphasis is on making the


learners absorb as much knowledge as possible concerning a particular
course of broad field.
Learner-centered design – may be based on the anticipated needs and
interests of the learners. Usually built upon normal activities children engage
in (i.e. playing, storytelling, and drawing). Contents are not organized into

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 93


subjects (Math, English, Science, etc.) but into coursework (playing,
storytelling).
Society-centered design – it is heavily loaded with societal concerns,
problems and issues. May be aimed at making the school, the teachers and
the students as agents of social change.

4 Basic Questions (Tyler, 1950)


1. What educational purposes should the school seek to attain?
2. What educational experience can be provided that is likely to obtain the
purpose?
3. How can these educational experiences be effectively organized?
4. How can we determine whether these purposes are being attained?
Building on Peter Oliva’s 10 Axioms for Curriculum designing
1. Curriculum change is inevitable, necessary and desirable. Earlier it was
stated that one of the characteristic of curriculum is its being dynamic.
2. Curriculum reflects as a product of its time. A relevant curriculum
should respond to changes brought about by current social forces,
philosophical positions, psychological principles and educational
reforms.
3. Curriculum changes made earlier can exist concurrently with the newer
curriculum changes. A revision in a curriculum starts and ends slowly.
4. Curriculum change depends on people who will implement the change.
Teachers who will implement the curriculum should be involved in its
development, hence should know how to design a curriculum.
5. Curriculum development is a cooperative group activity. Group
decisions in some aspects of curriculum development are suggested.
6. Curriculum development is a decision-making process made from
choices of alternatives. A curriculum developer or designer must
decide what content, what to teach, philosophy or point of view to
support and what type of evaluation to use.
7. Curriculum development is an ongoing process. Continuous
monitoring, examination, evaluation, improvement of curricula are to be
considered in the design of the curriculum.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 94


8. Curriculum development is more effective if it is a comprehensive
process, rather than a “piecemeal”. A curriculum design should be
based on a careful plan, intended outcomes clearly established,
support resources and needed time available and teaching staff
pedagogically equipped.
9. Curriculum development is more effective when it follows a systematic
process. A curriculum design is composed of desired outcomes,
subject matter content complemented with references, set of
procedures and evaluation procedures which can be placed in a matrix.
10. Curriculum development starts from where the curriculum is.
Curriculum planners and designers should begin with existing
curriculum.

There are many labels or names for curriculum design. Some would
call it a syllabus or a lesson plan. Some would call it a unit plan or
course design.
Let us take Lesson Plan as a miniscule curriculum. For a lesson
plan or teaching guide includes:
 Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO) or Desired Learning Outcome
(DLO) was formerly labeled as behavioral objectives
 Subject Matter or Content
 Teaching and Learning Methods
 Assessment Evaluations

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 95


Selection of Objective
- Based on desired outcomes of teaching-learning process: development
of knowledge, skill, values, attitudes and habits.

Role of Philosophy in Determining Objectives

Philosophy – provides basis for general theory of education and suggests its
goals.

Aims – are considered as “orientations.”

Goals – are specific statements used as guidelines for achieving purposes.

Objectives - may describe school-wide outcomes or specific behaviors.

The major educational philosophies are:

Perennialism
Essentialism
Humanism/Progressivism
Reconceptualism
Reconstructionism
Idealism

Taxonomy of Objectives

Cognitive
Affective
Psychomotor

Cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual


skills (Bloom, 1956). This includes the recall or recognition of specific facts,

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 96


procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the development of
intellectual abilities and skills.

Affective domain is one of the three domains in Bloom's Taxonomy. It


involves feelings, attitudes, and emotions. It includes the ways in which
people deal with external and internal phenomenon emotionally, such as
values, enthusiasms, and motivations.

Psychomotor domain (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement,


coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills
requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance,
procedures, or techniques in execution.

Assessment may be formative. (Providing
feedback to help the student learn more) or
summative (expressing a judgment on the
students’ achievement by reference to stated
criteria). Many assessment tasks involve an
element of both, e.g. an assignment that is
marked and returned to the student with
detailed comments.

Summative assessment usually involves the allocation of marks or


grades. This helps the teacher make decisions about the progress or
performance of the students.

Application of the Fundamental Components in Other Curriculum


Designs.

While our example, refers only to designing a lesson plan which


is a mini curriculum, similar components will be also be used in making
a syllabus for teaching in higher education courses or other curricular
projects. Based on the curriculum models we have learned, the
fundamental components include the following:

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 100


Major components of a Course Design of Syllabus

1. Intended Outcomes (or Objectives)


2. Content/Subject Matter (with references)
3. Methods/Strategies (with needed resources)
4. Evaluation (means of assessment)

SUMMARY

All other additional components are trimmings that each


designer may place. This additional part may be an institutional
template, suggested by other curriculum experts and as required by
educational agencies like the Department of Education, Commission
on Higher Education, Accrediting Agencies, and Professional
Organization that would serve the purposes they intend to achieve.
Curriculum design is the planning period when instructors organize the
instructional units for their course. Curriculum design involves planning
activities, readings, lessons, and assessments that achieve educational
goals. 
Curriculum design can be segmented into three forms. These include
subject-centered design, learner-centered design and problem-centered
design. Subject-centered design focuses on a specific discipline while learner-
centered design focuses on students’ own interests and goals. Problem-
centered design focuses on specific issues and how to source solutions.
In describing a curriculum, whether existing or proposed, the first requirement
is that its purpose – what it is supposed to achieve – be made clear.
Curriculum is the school’s main instrument for promoting the learning of
specified knowledge, skills and attitudes.

Lesson 2
Approaches to Curriculum Design

Lesson Objectives:

●Define the types of Curriculum Design and its variation

●Determining the roles of subject centered design, learner centered design and
problem centered design

●Distinguish the types of Curriculum Design and Models

Pre-Discussion:

Approaches to curriculum design explains the types and


contents of it that give us ideas us on how the process in each design
help the learners in the teaching process in our curriculum today. The
process of the teaching and learning process becomes more advance
as time goes by so at this moment in order to compete in this modern
world there are different ways on how the curriculum and the teaching

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 107


and learning process implements. There are three basic types of
curriculum design subject-centered, learner-centered, and problem-
centered design.

Subject-centered curriculum design revolves around a particular subject


matter or discipline, such as mathematics, literature or biology. Learner-
centered curriculum design, by contrast, revolves around student needs,
interests and goals. Problem-centered curriculum design teaches students
how to look at a problem and formulate a solution a this we can adhere what
are the needs and wants of the students in this curriculum design

Lesson Outline:

In this lesson the students will define the types of Curriculum Design
and its variation also will Determined the roles of subject centered design,
learner centered design and problem centered design and lastly will
Distinguish the types of Curriculum Design and Models as these we be able to
know on what are the understanding of the students.
First they must greet their teacher and their classmate before
opening the class and prayer to the follow. 2 nd the teacher will ask in
the previous topics if the learning process is still there in their mind and
the teacher will give a short overview about the topics today. Then the
teacher will discuss this lesson following its objectives and gives
activities for the assessment in order to know if the students are really
learning. Last the teacher will have conclusion through the lesson that
thought.

● Distinguish the types of Curriculum Design and Models
Discussion:

There are three basic types of curriculum design—subject-centered,


learner-centered, and problem-centered design.
Subject-centered curriculum design revolves around a particular subject
matter or discipline, such as mathematics, literature or biology. This type of
curriculum design tends to focus on the subject, rather than the student. It is
the most common type of standardized curriculum that can be found in K-12
public schools.

Teachers compile lists of subjects, and specific examples of how


they should be studied. In higher education, this methodology is
typically found in large university or college classes where teachers
focus on a particular subject or discipline.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 109


Subject-centered curriculum design is not student-centered, and
the model is less concerned with individual learning styles compared to
other forms of curriculum design. This can lead to problems with
student engagement and motivation and may cause students who are
not responsive to this model to fall behind.

Subject design- The Traditional Approach to Teaching and learning the


oldest and most familiar design for all the people learning is compartmentalize

Discipline design- Focuses on Academic Disciplines used in college than in


elementary and secondary
Correlation design- Links separate subject design from a core to a variety of
subjects
Interdisciplinary design- Sometimes called Holistic Curriculum, a variation
of the Subject-centered design, made to cure compartmentalization

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 110


Learner-centered curriculum design, by contrast, revolves
around student needs, interests and goals. It acknowledges that
students are not uniform but individuals, and therefore should not, in all
cases, be subject to a standardized curriculum. This approach aims to
empower learners to shape their education through choices.

Differentiated instructional plans provide an opportunity to select


assignments, teaching and learning experiences, or activities. This
form of curriculum design has been shown to engage and motivate
students. The drawback to this form of curriculum design is that it can
create pressure on the educator to source materials specific to each
student’s learning needs. This can be challenging due to teaching time
constraints. Balancing individual student interests with the institution’s
required outcomes could prove to be a daunting task.
Child centered- Anchored on the needs and interests of the child, learners
interact with teachers and the environment, corresponds mostly to the
textbook

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 111


Experience centered design- Experiences of the learners become the
starting point of the curriculum, learners are made to choose from various
activities that the teacher provides aims for excellence in the subject matter
learners are empowered to shape their own learning from different
opportunities
Humanistic Design- Stresses the whole person and the integration of
thinking, feeling and doing

Problem-centered curriculum design teaches students how to


look at a problem and formulate a solution. Considered an authentic
form of learning because students are exposed to real-life issues, this
model helps students develop skills that are transferable to the real
world. Problem-centered curriculum design has been shown to
increase the relevance of the curriculum and encourages creativity,
innovation and collaboration in the classroom. The drawback to this
format is that it does not always consider individual learning styles.

By considering all three types of curriculum design before they


begin planning, instructors can choose the types that are best suited to
both their students and their course.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 112


Life situations design- The contents are organized in ways that allow
students to clearly view problem areas

Core problem design- Centers on general education and the problems are
based on the common human activities

Summary:

Approaches to curriculum design explains here are three basic


types of curriculum design subject-centered, learner-centered, and
problem-centered design.
Subject-centered curriculum design revolves around a particular
subject matter or discipline, such as mathematics, literature or biology.
This type of curriculum design tends to focus on the subject, rather
than the student. It is the most common type of standardized
curriculum that can be found in K-12 public schools.

Teachers compile lists of subjects, and specific examples of how


they should be studied. In higher education, this methodology is
typically found in large university or college classes where teachers
focus on a particular subject or discipline.

Subject-centered curriculum design is not student-centered,


and the model is less concerned with individual learning styles
compared to other forms of curriculum design. This can lead to
problems with student engagement and motivation and may cause
students who are not responsive to this model to fall behind.

Learner-centered curriculum design, by contrast, revolves


around student needs, interests and goals. It acknowledges that
students are not uniform but individuals, and therefore should not, in all

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 113


cases, be subject to a standardized curriculum. This approach aims to
empower learners to shape their education through choices.

Differentiated instructional plans provide an opportunity to select


assignments, teaching and learning experiences, or activities. This
form of curriculum design has been shown to engage and motivate
students. The drawback to this form of curriculum design is that it can
create pressure on the educator to source materials specific to each
student’s learning needs. This can be challenging due to teaching time
constraints. Balancing individual student interests with the institution’s
required outcomes could prove to be a daunting task.

Problem-centered curriculum design teaches students how to


look at a problem and formulate a solution. Considered an authentic
form of learning because students are exposed to real-life issues, this
model helps students develop skills that are transferable to the real
world. Problem-centered curriculum design has been shown to
increase the relevance of the curriculum and encourages creativity,
innovation and collaboration in the classroom. The drawback to this
format is that it does not always consider individual learning styles.
Subject Design is the Oldest and so far the most familiar design for
teachers, parents, and other laymen. On Has an advantages because
it is easy to deliver, by means of textbooks; a written and instructional
materials that are commercially available.

On Learning is so compartmentalized. Discipline Design Related


to subject design, while the subject design centers only on the cluster
of content, discipline design focuses on academic disciplines.
Discipline refers to specific knowledge learned through a method which
the scholars use to study a specific content of their fields. Teachers
should learn how the scholars in the discipline will convey the particular
knowledge. Often used in college, but not in elementary or in
secondary levels. So from the subject centered curriculum, curriculum
moves higher to a discipline. Correlation Design On Coming from a
core, correlated curriculum design links separate subject design in

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 114


order to reduce fragmentation. Subjects are related to one another and
still maintain their identity. On Teachers should come together and plan
their lesson cooperatively. Broad field Design/Interdisciplinary It is a
variation of the of the subject-centered design. This design was made
to cure the compartmentalization of the separate subjects and integrate
the contents that are related to one another. Thus subjects such as
geography, economics, political science, anthropology and sociology
are fused into one subject called social studies. Interdisciplinary design
is similar to thematic design, where a specific theme is identified, and
all other subject areas revolve around the theme.

Assessment/ Evaluation:

Give at least 1 in each types of curriculum design and explain on what did you
understand in this lesson.

I. Define the types of Curriculum


design and its variation

A. Subject Center design


Subject-centered curriculum design
revolves around a particular subject
matter or discipline. For example, a
subject-centered curriculum may focus
on math or biology. This type of
curriculum design tends to focus on the
subject rather than the individual.
Subject-centered curriculum design
describes what needs to be studied
and how it should be studied.

Variations
 Subject design
 Correlation design
 Discipline design
 Interdisciplinary design

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 117


B. Learner centered design
learner-centered curriculum design
takes each individual's needs,
interests, and goals into consideration.
In other words, it acknowledges that
students are not uniform and adjust to
those student needs. Learner-centered
curriculum design is meant to empower
learners and allow them to shape their
education through choices.

Variations
 Child centered
 Experience centered
 Humanistic design

C. Problem centered design


Problem-centered curriculum design is
also a form of student-centered design.
Problem-centered curricula focus on
teaching students how to look at a
problem and come up with a solution to
the problem. Students are thus
exposed to real-life issues, which helps
them develop skills that are
transferable to the real world.

Problem-centered curriculum design


increases the relevance of the
curriculum and allows students to be
creative and innovate as they are
learning. “Listening, taking down notes”

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 118


Variations
 Life-situation design
 Core Problem Design

3. Roles of Subject centered design,


learner centered design and
Problem centered design

 Subject centered design


A model where the curriculum is
divided into subject areas, and there is
little flexibility for cross-curricular
activity. Subjects are silted. Emphasis
is placed on acquisition, memorization,
and knowledge of each specific content
area. Within this curriculum structure,
strong emphasis is placed on
instruction, teacher-to-student
explanation, and direct strategies.
Direct strategies include lectures,
questions, and answers, as well as
teacher-student discussions. These
curricula often encourage
memorization and repetitive practice of
facts and ideas.

 learner centered design


It is a method of teaching that shifts the
focus of instruction from teacher to the
student. Here the aim is to develop the
independence of the learner by making
learner active in his learning path. It

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 119


focuses on skills that enable lifelong
learning and independent problem-
solving. This learner-centered
approach is based on
constructivist learning theory that put
emphasis on learner’s role in
constructing meaning from new
information and prior experiences.
In Learner-centered curriculum
approach, students choose what they
will learn, how they will learn and how
they will assess their own learning.
Here students take a more active role.
So, student-centered learning requires
the student to be active, responsible
participants in their own learning and
with their own pace of learning. Here
the teacher acts as a facilitator of
learning for individuals rather than for
the class as a whole.

 Problem centered design


Like learner-centered curriculum
design, problem-centered curriculum
design is also a form of student-
centered design. Problem-centered
curricula focus on teaching students
how to look at a problem and come up
with a solution to the problem. Students
are thus exposed to real-life issues,
which helps them develop skills that
are transferable to the real

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 120


world. Problem-centered curriculum
design increases the relevance of the
curriculum and allows students to be
creative and innovate as they are
learning. The drawback to this form of
curriculum design is that it does not
always take learning styles into
consideration.

Conclusion
Developing, designing and
implementing an education curriculum
is no easy task. With the rise of
educational technology and the diverse
types of students attending higher
educational institutions these days,
instructors have their work cut out for
them. But by following the fundamental
guidelines and framework of curriculum
development, educators will be setting
themselves and their students up for
long-term success.

Curriculum Mapping

PRE-DISCUSSION:

Curriculum Mapping is the process indexing or diagraming


a curriculum to identify and address academic gaps,
redundancies, and misaligments for purposes of improving
the overall coherence of a course of study and, by extension,
its effectiveness ( a curriculum, in the sense that the term is
typically used by educators, encompasses everything that
teachers teach to students in a school or course, including the
instructional materials and techniques they use).

LESSON OBJECTIVES:

 Know what is curriculum mapping;


 discuss background in Heidi Hayes Jacobs mapping the big
picture;
 identify the Ten Tenets of Curriculum Mapping.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

1. Determine the importance of Curriculum Mapping.


2. Discuss the Ten Tenets of Curriculum Mapping.

What is curriculum mapping?

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 125


The curriculum mapping model based on Dr. Heidi Hayes
Jacobs’s work (1997, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010) clearly addresses the
necessity to synthesize various models and create a framework that
focuses on the recommendations, requisites, and desires that affect
students’ learning and teaching environments.

Udelhofen (2005) states “…the concept of curriculum mapping


originated in the 1980s with the work of Fenwick English…” (xviii). Dr.
Jacobs embraced and enhanced the earlier work by adding a variety of
teacher-driven curriculum maps, horizontal and vertical alignments,
cyclic reviews, and professional curricular dialogue. Jacobs (2004)
states, “…curriculum maps have the potential to become the hub for
making decisions about teaching and learning. Focusing the barrage of
initiatives and demands on schools into a central database that can be
accessed from anywhere through the Internet can provide relief …
Mapping becomes an integrating force to

How is it defined?

Curriculum mapping is the process indexing or diagramming a


curriculum to identify and address academic gaps, redundancies, and
misalignments for purposes of improving the overall coherence of a
course of study and, by extension, its effectiveness (a curriculum, in
the sense that the term is typically used by educators, encompasses
everything that teachers teach to students in a school or course,
including the instructional materials and techniques they use).

It basically is how educators plan what subject content students


will learn over the course of the year. In many places, it is done over a
four to six-year plan, building off of content from one year to the next. It
follows a logical, time-progressive order to give the students a well-
rounded and comprehensive educational experience.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 126


How is it mapped?

Curriculum mapping aims to achieve success over four goals:

 Vertical coherence: When a curriculum is vertically aligned


or vertically coherent, what students learn in one lesson, course, or
grade level prepares them for the next lesson, course, or grade level.
Curriculum mapping aims to ensure that teaching is purposefully
structured and logically sequenced across grade levels so that
students are building on what they have previous learned and learning
the knowledge and skills that will progressively prepare them for more
challenging, higher-level work.

 Horizontal coherence: When a curriculum is horizontally


aligned or horizontally coherent, what students are learning in one
ninth-grade biology course, for example, mirrors what other students
are learning in a different ninth-grade biology course. Curriculum
mapping aims to ensure that the assessments, tests, and other
methods teachers use to evaluate learning achievement and progress
are based on what has actually been taught to students and on the
learning standards that the students are expected to meet in a
particular course, subject area, or grade level.

 Subject-area coherence: When a curriculum is coherent


within a subject area—such as mathematics, science, or history—it
may be aligned both within and across grade levels. Curriculum
mapping for subject-area coherence aims to ensure that teachers are
working toward the same learning standards in similar courses (say,
three different ninth-grade algebra courses taught by different
teachers), and that students are also learning the same amount of
content, and receiving the same quality of instruction, across subject-
area courses.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 127


 Interdisciplinary coherence: When a curriculum is coherent
across multiple subject areas—such as mathematics, science, and
history—it may be aligned both within and across grade levels.
Curriculum mapping for interdisciplinary coherence may focus on skills
and work habits that students need to succeed in any academic course
or discipline, such as reading skills, writing skills, technology skills, and
critical-thinking skills. Improving interdisciplinary coherence across a
curriculum might entail teaching students reading and writing skills in
all academic courses, not just English courses.

Why is curriculum mapping important?

Curriculum mapping is important because it allows teachers and


administrators to focus on balance between the content across
curricula. It allows them to look into each classroom and see what
children learn, and helps them gather data on redundancies or gaps in
the course content. Curriculum mapping also helps teachers and
administrators assess the structure of the course, and the time-scale
plan of when specific lessons or concepts are taught.

Hale (2008) says this, “curriculum mapping is not a spectator


sport. It demands teachers’ ongoing preparation and active
participation. There must also be continual support from administrators
who have a clear understanding and insight into the intricacies of the
mapping process.” (p. xv)

One important thing to remember, curriculum maps are never


considered “done”. They are an ongoing development seeking to
improve student learning and content quality across schools. As long

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 128


as teachers have new students, new classes, and new school years,
the content and structure should be continually assessed and revised
(if need be) to ensure students get the most out of their education, and
for teachers to use the most effective strategies in their lessons. If you
have questions about USD 320 process for revising curriculum, please
contact Dr. Mary Kaye Siebert, Director of Instructional Services.

IMPLEMENTING THE CURRICULUM

Chapter Overview
Curriculum implementation entails putting into practice the
officially prescribed courses of study, syllabuses and subjects. The
process involves helping the learner acquire knowledge or
experiences.
This chapter introduces students to the process of implementing
curriculum in the classroom, the role of technology in curriculum delivery and
the persons involved in curriculum and curriculum development and brings

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 136


these topics to student to clearly understand the importance of curriculum
implementation in curriculum development.

General Objectives

After completing this chapter, the students can:


1. Define curriculum implementation
2. Create a daily plan in teaching
3. Discuss the role of technology curriculum application
4. Identify stakeholders of the curriculum

Module 4: The Teacher as Curriculum Implementor and Manager

Overview
The teachers whom implementer and manager of the
curriculum, they do not only deliver lesson just at it is, rather they put
their souls and want their products to be globally competitive. This is
the one major roles that they do in the school. Their task is to
implement such. The success of learning depends on implementation
effort.
Teachers play various roles in a typical classroom, but surely
one of the most important is that of classroom manager. Effective
teaching and learning cannot take place in poorly managed classroom.
In that note, being a teacher doesn’t end in giving the lessons, but the
true meaning of teacher is the summative formula of having students
not only globally competitive but inculcated good values in their hearts
not only to be good but better individuals of the society.

Lesson 1: Implementing the Designed Curriculum as a Change Process

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 137


Pre-discussion

In curriculum development process there is four phases, after


the curriculum designing the next step is the curriculum implementing.
In curriculum implementing, this is the phase where action take place.
It is one of the most crucial processes in curriculum development,
when you plan a curriculum you should implement it.
Implementation takes place as the learner acquires the intended
experience, knowledge, skills, ideas and attitudes that are aimed at
enabling the same learner to function effectively in a society.
Curriculum change is a learning process for teachers and for
their schools. Good understanding of change and clear conception of
curriculum are necessary conditions for improved implementation of
new curriculum into practice. Implementing changes in schools is
crucial for sustainable improvement.

Lesson Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the students can:


a. Interpret the curriculum implementation and implementing
curriculum as a change to in his/her own words;
b. Determine the teacher’s role in implementing a curriculum; and
c. Identify the categories of curriculum change and the important
elements in implementing curriculum as a change process.

Curriculum Implementation: Defined


Curriculum implementation process involves helping the learner
acquire knowledge or experience. It is important to note that curriculum
implementation cannot take place without the learner. Implementation takes
place as the learner acquires the intended experience, knowledge, skills,
ideas and attitudes that are aimed at enabling the same learner to function
effectively in a society.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 138


According to Ornstein and Hunkins in 1998, curriculum implementation
defined as the interaction between the curriculum that has been written and
planned and the persons (teachers) who are in charged to deliver it.
Curriculum implementation implies the following: (Ornstein and Hunkins,
1998)
 Shift from what is current a new or enhanced curriculum.
 Change in knowledge, actions attitudes of the persons involved.
 Change in behavior using a new strategies and resources.
 Change which require efforts hence goals should be achievable.
Loucks and Liberman (1983) define curriculum implementation as the
trying out of a new practice and what it looks like when actually used in a
school system. It simply means that implementation should bring the desired
change and improvement.
In the classroom context, curriculum implementation means “teaching”
what has been written in the lesson plan. Implementing means using the plan
as a guide to engage with the learners in the teaching-learning process with
the end in view that learning has occurred and learning outcomes have been
achieved. It involves the different strategies of teaching with the support
instructional materials to go with the strategy.
In a larger scale, curriculum implementation means putting the
curriculum into operation with the different implementing agents. Curriculum
implementation takes place in a class, a school, a district, a division, or the
whole educational system. Or in higher education, curriculum implementation
happens for the course, a degree program, the institution or the whole higher
education system. It requires time, money, personal interaction, personal
contacts and support.
We have these two important aspects in curriculum implementation that we
should remember:
1. Learning must take place during curriculum implementation.
2. During implementation, teachers and students interact in a learner
friendly environment.
It is not only the teachers are teaching but the students are involved in the
learning process, where students acquire knowledge, skills, and attitude. Also,

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 139


the students are free to asks questions or if they need clarity to the topic.
There must an interaction between the teacher and the students.
Now we are adopting the enhanced curriculum or Kto12, we shift from current
to a new curriculum. The teacher have to change from being traditional to
more learner centered teaching approaches. We need to try out innovative
strategies and resources in new curriculum. We have to think of engaging our
students in the activities to develop communication or interaction, we have to
think of more collaboration. In Kto12 all teachers should work together to
achieve common goal for the benefits of their students and should embrace
change so that the implementation of curriculum is achieved.

Curriculum Implementation as a Change Process

Concept of Change
Change is a constant law of nature. It bring improvements.
Change is an ongoing process. Not all changes lead to improvement,
but all improvement requires change. The ability to develop, test, and
implement changes is essential for any individual, group, or
organization that wants to continuously improve. All organizations
require constant change and innovation for improvement. Change and
innovation is a hard and long-term process.
In educational terms, this may be interpreted as the need to
update practices in keeping with the findings of international research,
and to conform to national trends.

Kurt Lewin’s Force Field Theory

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 140


Kurt Lewin
 A German-American Psychologist
 Born in Poland in 1890 and died in 1947
 He is the father of social psychology,
who explains the process of change.
 He is the one who create Force Field
Theory

Force Field Analysis was developed by Lewin (1951) and is widely used
to inform decision-making, and in particular in planning and implementing
change management programs in organizations.
In educational landscape, there are always two forces that oppose each
other. These are the driving force and restraining force. Driving force push to
influence a situation in a particular direction and work to support a stated goal
or objective. Driving force are usually seen as ‘positive’ forces that facilitate
change. Restraining force work to block or counter progress towards a goal or
objective. They tend to limit or decrease the driving force.

Table 1. Force field theory

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 141


Look at the table 1. When these two forces are equal, the state is equilibrium
or balance. There will be a status quo, hence there will be no change. The
situation or condition will stay the same. However, when the driving force
overpowers the restraining force, then change will occur. If the opposite
happens that is when the restraining force is stronger than the driving force,
change is prevented. This is the idea of Kurt Lewin in his Force Field Theory.
According to Lewin, change will be better if the restraining forces shall be
decreased rather than increasing the driving force.

Here are the examples of driving force and restraining force in educational
landscape:

Categories of Curriculum Change


McNeil in 1990 categorized curriculum change as follows:
1. Substitution: The current curriculum will be replaced or substituted by
a new one. Example: changing an old book entirely new one, not
merely revision.

2. Alteration: In alteration, there is minor change to the current existing


curriculum. Example: Instead of using a graphing paper for

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 142


mathematics teaching, this can be altered by using a graphing
calculator.

3. Restructuring: Building a new structure would means major change or


modification in the school system, degree program or educational
system. Example: “In-school Off-school” or a blended curriculum.

4. Perturbations: these are changes that are disruptive, but teachers


have to adjust to them within a fairly short time. Example: the principal
changes the time schedule because there is a need to catch up with
the national testing time or the dean, shortens schedule to
accommodate unplanned extracurricular activities.

5. Value orientation: this classification will respond to shift to emphasis


that the teachers provides which are not within the vision or mission of
the school or vice versa. For example, new teachers who are recruited
in religious schools give emphasis on academics and forget the
formation of values and faith, need a curriculum value orientation.
Likewise, all teachers in the public schools, undergo teacher induction
program which is a special curriculum for newly hired teachers.

Regardless of the kind of change in curriculum and implementation, the


process of change may contain three important elements. As a process,
curriculum implementation should be develop, participatory and
supportive.
Important elements in the process of change:
 Developmental. It should develop multiple perspectives, increase
integration and make learning autonomous, create a climate of
openness and trust, and appreciate and affirm strengths of a teacher.
There should be teacher support in trying new tasks, reflection on the
new experiences and challenge.
There are simple stages in the developmental change process for the
teachers, first, is orientation and preparation. The initial use is very
routinary. However, as the skills are honed and mastery of the routine

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 143


is established, refinement follows. This means adjustments are made
to better meet the needs of the learners and achieve the learning
outcomes. In this step, there will be continuous reflection, feedback
and refinement.

 Participatory. For curriculum implementation to succeed, it should be


participatory, especially because other stakeholders like peers, school
leaders, parents and curriculum specialists are necessary.
Characteristics of teachers’ style, commitments, and willingness to
change, skills and readiness are critical to implementation. This should
be coupled with organizational structure, principal style, student
population characteristics and other factors. Trust among key players
should also be sought as this is a positive starting point. Involvement
and participation encourage sense of ownership and accountability.
Participation builds a learning community is which is very necessary in
curriculum implementation.

 Supportive curriculum implementation is required in the process of


change. Material support like supplies, equipment and conductive
learning environment like classrooms and laboratory should be made
available. Likewise, human support is very much needed. The school
leader or head should provide full support or institutional support in the
implementation of new curriculum. They too have to train to understand
how to address curriculum change as part of their instructional as well
as management functions.

Summary

Implementation takes place as the learner acquires the intended


experience, knowledge, skills, ideas and attitudes that are aimed at
enabling the same learner to function effectively in a society.

The teacher plays a major role in implementing the curriculum.
Teachers are the main implementers and manager in classroom. They
put action to what has been planned and design in a curriculum.
Kurt Levin’s Force field theory model used to explain curriculum
change and implementation. There are two forces that oppose each
other, the driving force and restraining force.
Curriculum change categorized as follows: substitution, alteration,
restructuring perturbation, and value orientation.
As a process, curriculum implementation should be developmental,
participatory, and supportive.
No curriculum should stop planning or designing phase, it has to be
implemented.

LESSON 2
IMPLEMENTING A CURRICULUM DAILY IN THE CLASSROOMS

PRE DISCUSSION
A very important part of curriculum implementation is that the teacher
should consider carefully the order in which learning targets should be
learned. As educators, we are only as effective as what we know. If we have
no working knowledge of what students studied in previous years, how can
we build on their learning?
Curriculum implementation refers how teachers deliver instruction and
assessment through the use of specified resources provided in
a curriculum. Curriculum designs generally provide instructional suggestions,
scripts, lesson plans, and assessment options related to a set of objectives.

LESSON OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the student can:
 Identify the components of a daily plan for teaching
 Describe intended learning outcome
 Matched learning outcomes with appropriate teaching methods.

CONTENT OF THE LESSON

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 151


A teaching activity is like implementing a miniscule curriculum. A daily
lesson is based on a planned or written curriculum, which will be put to action
by the teacher in the classroom. Before the lesson ends the teacher must find
out if the students have truly learned.
Teachers of all public elementary and secondary schools will not be
required to prepare detailed lesson plans. They may adopt daily lesson logs
which contain the needed information and guide from the Teacher Guide (TG)
and Teacher Manual (TM) reference material with page number, interventions
given to the students and remarks to indicate how many students have
mastered the lesson or are needing remediation. However, teachers with less
than 2 years teaching experience shall be required to prepare Daily Plans
which shall include the following: I. Objectives, II. Subject Matter, III.
Procedure, IV. Assessment V. Assignment.
Intended Learning Outcome, these learning focuses of the lesson
learning outcomes are based on Taxonomy of Objectives presented to us as
cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Bloom’s Taxonomy has revisited by his
own student Lorin Anderson and David Krathwohl.

Student have Different Learning Styles Common Characteristics Tips
for Teacher about. If you are a teacher, you know that no two students are
the same and that there is a spectrum of different learning styles. An
educator’s teaching style, therefore, can greatly impact a student’s ability
to learn and comprehend.This is why knowledge of different learning
styles is essential for teachers.
o Learners visual- Uses graphs, charts, pictures. Tends to
remember things that are written in form. Turn notes into pictures,
diagrams, maps. Learn the big picture first than details. Make mind
maps and concept maps.
o Learners Auditory- Recalls information through hearing and
speaking. Prefers to be told how to do things orally. Learn aloud.
Record lectures and listen to these. Repeat materials out loud
“parrots”. Read loud.
o Learners Kinesthetic- Prefers hands-on approach.Demonstrates
how to do, rather than explain. Likes group work with hands on-
minds on. Learn something while doing another things (eats while
studying). Work while standing. Likes fieldwork. Does many things
at one time.
CONE OF LEARNING
Edgar Dale's Cone of Learning is a visual metaphor
for learning modalities. The objective of this visual is not intended to place

value on one learning modality over another, rather to show the difference
between Active Learning and Passive Learning.

GUIDELINES FOR INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT MATERIALS


Use of direct purposeful experience through learning by doing
retains almost all of the learning outcomes. 90% of learning is retained. In
Participation in class activities, discussion, reporting and similar activities
where learner have the opportunity to say and write. 70% of learning is
remembered. Passive participation in class activities, discussion, reporting
and similar activities where learners have opportunity to say and write.
Seventy percent of learning is remembered. Passive participation as in
watching a movie, viewing exhibits, watching demonstration will retain
around 50% of what has been communicated. By just looking at still
pictures, painting, illustration and drawings, will allow the retention of 30%
of the material content. By hearing as in lecture, sermon, manologous, only
20% is remembered. Reading, will assure 10% remembered of the
material. Visual, concrete or abstract, audio, recordings of sounds, natural

or artificial Audio-Visual. Combination of what can be seen and heard
kinesthetic; manipulative materials like modeling clay, rings, dumb bells,
equipment, other Experiential, utilize all modalities. Its components are
designed to develop concepts, from a basic level to increasingly complex
topics or skills.

SUMMARY

As educators, we are only as effective as what we know. If we have no


working knowledge of what students studied in previous years, how can we
build on their learning? If we have no insight into the curriculum in later
grades, how can we prepare learners for future classes? Heidi Hayes
Jacobs
A developmental approach to curriculum planning for children is
considered desirable. The curriculum content should be functional, aiming at
promoting the all-round development of these children and helping them to
lead an independent life and integrate into the community. This Guide to
Curriculum for Mentally Handicapped Children has discussed the various
aspects of curriculum development for children, including the general
principles underlying the design and implementation of the curriculum. It has
outlined the essential areas and elements of learning, such as pre-number
concepts, pre-verbal skills, perceptual training, etc. It has also suggested
different teaching strategies and approaches for curriculum implementation.
Evaluation, being an important part of the teaching process to reflect the
children's progress and the effectiveness of a learning programmer, is dealt
with in some detail in the Guide. A whole-school approach to curriculum
development, school-based curriculum development are current trends in
curriculum development especially in special education. These various
approaches to curriculum development have also been given their due shares
in the Guide.
A very important part of curriculum implementation is that
the teacher should consider carefully the order in which learning
targets should be learned, With the pre-requisite skills of the children

known, the teacher can then design learning materials to help them
achieve the target skills.

Lesson 3
THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN DELIVERING CURRICULUM

PRE-DISCUSSION

Technology makes it flexible on when or where learning takes place


especially in the health crisis that we are experiencing right now. We cannot
go to school to do face to face ,it is really a big help to continue our learning
aside from that it is easier for the curriculum to build the learner.

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson the students can;
1. Discuss the role of technology curriculum application.
2. Enhance the application of outcome based learning with technology
both as an aid, and
3. Analyze the significance of systematic planning in appropriate choice of
media comes to play.

THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN DELIVERING CURRICULUM


• In delivering the curriculum the role of technology is very important.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 159


• Right at the planning phase of any instruction, aside from formulating
the objectives and among other considerations, there is a need to
identify what instructional media are to be utilized in the
implementation.

TYPES OF INSTRUCTIONALMEDIA/TECHNOLOGY
1. Non-Projected Media- are those which require no projection
material or any electric power. are mostly composed of study
prints, charts, posters, maps, flash cards, photographs, textbook
illustrations, and illustrations found in magazines and newspapers.

2. Projected Media- helps teachers simplify, clarify, analyze, and


synthesize relationships between man and his environments.
Include slides, filmstrips, opaque and overhead projections, and
motion pictures.

FACTORS IN TECHNOLOGY SELECTION

1. PRACTICALITY
 Is the equipment ( hardware ) or already prepared lesson
material ( software ) available?
 If not, what would be the cost in acquiring the equipment or
producing the lesson in audial or visual form?

2. APPROPRIATNESS IN RELATION TO THE LEARNERS


 Is the medium suitable for the learners’ ability to comprehend?
 Will the medium be a source of plain amusement or entertainment,
but not learning?

2. ACTIVITY / SUITABILITY
 Will the chosen media fit the set instructional event, resulting in
either information, motivation, or psychomotor display?

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 160


3. OBJECTIVE-MATCHING
 Overall, does the medium help in achieving the learners objective
(s)?

CHARACTERISTICS OF TECHNOLOGY

1. Upgrading the quality of teaching-and-learning in schools


2. Increasing the capability of the teacher to effectively inculcate learning, and
for students to gain mastery of lessons and courses
3. Broadening the delivery of education outside schools through nontraditional
approaches to formal and informal learning, such as Open Universities
and lifelong learning to adult learners
4. Revolutionizing the use of technology to boost educational paradigm shifts
that give importance to students- centered and holistic learning.
3 COMPONENT TRENDS THAT COULD CARRY ON THE NATURE OF
EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE
1. The first trend is the paradigm shift from the teacher centered to student-
centered approach to learning.
2. The second is the broadening realization that education is not simply a
delivery of facts and information, but an educative process of
cultivating the cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and much more the
contemplative intelligence of the learners of a new age.
3. Is the increase in the use of new information and communication
technology or ICT.

SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING


1. Define objectives- the instruction begins with the instructional
objectives that consider the students needs interest
and readiness.
2. Choose appropriate methods- the teachers selects the appropriate
teaching methods to be utilized.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 161


3. Choose appropriate experience- Based on the teaching method
selected, the appropriate learning experiences an
appropriate materials equipment and facilities will also be selected.
4. Select materials, equipment and facilities- the use of learning
materials, equipment and facilities necessitates
assigning the personnel to assist the teacher.
5. Assign personnel roles-defining the role and task of any personnel
involved in the preparation setting and returning this
learning resources would also help in the learning process.
6. Implement the instruction-used the teacher implement planned the
instructions with the use of the selection teaching
method, learning activities and learning materials.
7. Evaluate the outcomes
8. Refine the process

STAKEHOLDERS IN CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION

PRE-DISCUSSION

Stakeholders are individuals or institutions


that are interested in the school curriculum.
Stakeholders may also play a role in community-based learning, which
refers to the practice of connecting what is being taught in a school to
its surrounding community, which may include local history, literature,
and cultural heritages, in addition to local experts, institutions, and
natural environments. 
The term curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content
taught in a school or in a specific course or program. In many cases,
teachers develop their own curricula, often refining and improving them
over years, although it is also common for teachers to adapt lessons
and syllabi created by other teachers, use curriculum templates and
guides to structure their lessons and courses, or purchase pre-
packaged curricula from individuals and companies

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the discussion, the students can;

 Identify stakeholders of the curriculum


 Enumerate the role of each stakeholders

 Cultural Background

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 167


 physical

In curriculum implementations, the concluding question will always be:


Has the learner learned?

The success of the curriculum can only be measured by the extent of


learning that the learners have achieved.

TEACHERS:
 Planning
 Writing
 Implementing

ROLES OF THE TEACHERS:


 The teacher prepares activities for the student to do
 The teachers address the goals and needs, interest of the learners by
creating experiences form where the students can learn
 The teachers design, enriches, and modifies the curriculum to suit the
learners characteristics

ROLES OF THE TEACHER:


 Doing implies guiding, facilitating and directing activities which will be
done by the students
 The teacher’s role as an implementer is very implementation of the
curriculum becomes the root of the educational failure, thus some
would say that the root of educational problem is the teacher.

ROLES OF THE TEACHERS:


 Although educational theories and practitioners are giving value the
idea of independent learning and learning how to learn, the role of the
teacher in curriculum implementation has never diminished.

No technology can ever replays a teacher; it will only support the


multifaceted role of the teachers.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 168


CURRICULUM MANAGERS AND ADMINISTRATORS

In a school organization, there are always a curriculum managers or school


administrator.
In fact, for school principals, one of their functions is being a curriculum
manager.

Why are the school administrators and managers important to the


curriculum implementation:
 Supervise curriculum implementation
 Select and recruit new teacher
 Admit students
 Provide procedure, equipments and materials needed for effective
teaching.

How do the parents shape the curriculum and why they are consider as
stakeholders?
 Effective parental involvement in school ffairs may be linked to the
parent educational programs which is central to high quality
educational experiences of the children.
 The parents involvement extends from the confine of the school to
the homes
 In most schools, the parents association is organized.

COMMUNITY MEMBERS:
 Success in the implementation of the curriculum requires
resources
 Respected community members maybe included in school boards
 Some can be resource speakers
 They can provide local and indigenous knowledge in school
curriculum

OTHER STAKEHOLDERS:

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 169


 Professional organization have shown great influence in the school
curriculum
 They are asked by curriculum specialist to contribute in curriculum
review since they have a voice in the licensure examination, curriculum
enhancement and many more.
 On the other hand, since all school in the country, are under the
regulation of the government as provided for in the Philippine
constitution, then the government has great state in curriculum
implementation.

The Government is represented by the:


 Department of Education(Dep-ED) for basic education curricula
 Commission on Higher Education(CHED) for the tertiary and graduate
education
 The professional Regulation Commission(PRC)
 The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority(TESDA)

Other Stakeholders In Curriculum Implementation:


 Non-Government Agencies is represented by the:
1. Gawad Kalinga(GK) – To build communities means to include
education.
2. Synergia – An organization/foundation that supports basic
education through Readings, Science, Mathematics and
English.
3. Metrobank Foundation – Supports continuing teacher
development programs.

TEACHER AS A CURRICULUM EVALUATOR

OVERVIEW
Schools evaluate their curricula to ensure they are continuing to
meet students’ needs. The evaluation process encompasses several
areas, including student understanding of main concepts mastery of
established academic goals and objectives, and standardized
assessments.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 178


The main source of information in each of these areas, educators are
crucial in the evaluation process. Classroom teachers have first-hand
knowledge of instructional methods and thus are the best qualified to assess
a curriculum’s effectiveness in utilizing the best learning strategies for student
success.

OBJECTIVES
At the end of the chapter, the students can:

 Acquire clear understanding about curriculum evaluation;

 Appreciate the connection between planning, implementing and


evaluating the curriculum process;

 Create an evaluation using the appropriate assessment tools;

 Match the levels of learning outcomes with the appropriate


assessment tools.

MODULE 5

Lesson 1
What, Why and How to Evaluate a Curriculum

PRE-DISCUSSION
Curriculum is defined as the sum of all experiences, which are to
be provided in an educational institution. It is more fundamentally
concerned with deciding on the value or worth wholeness of a learning
process as well as the effectiveness with which it is being carried out.
Curriculum evaluation, as a field of study, is dynamic. For over
the years it has been responsive to the developments in the

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 179


conceptualization of curriculum and the associated processes of
curriculum change. Much of the decision making relates to what
knowledge is to be selected for inclusion in the curriculum.

LESSON OBJECTIVE
At the end of the lesson, the students can:
1. acquire clear understanding of what is Curriculum Evaluation;
2. discuss the importance of Evaluation in a Curriculum;
3. expand knowledge about the different models of Curriculum
Evaluation.

CONTENT OF THE LESSON

What is Curriculum Evaluation?


Curriculum Evaluation is an integral and essential part of the
whole process of curriculum development. It is the assessment of the
merit and worth of a program of studies, a field of study, or a course of
study. It is a continuous activity and not a “tail-end-process”.

Curriculum Evaluation Definition according to different


Curricularists:
Persons Definition

Ornstein, Allan & Process done in order to gather data that enables
Hunskin, Francis one to decide whether to accept, change, eliminate,
(1998) the whole curriculum of a textbook.

McNeil, John (1977) 1. Do planned learning and organized actually


produce desired results?

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 180


2. How can a curriculum best be improved?
Gay, L. (1985) Identify the weakness and strengths as well as
problems encountered in the implementation, to
improve the curriculum development process. It is to
determine the effectiveness of and the returns on
allocated finance.
Oliva, Peter (1988) Is a process of delineating, obtaining and providing
useful information for judging alternatives for
purposes of modifying, or eliminating the curriculum.

There are two ways of looking at curriculum evaluation:


1) Curriculum Program Evaluation-focuses on the overall aspects of a
curriculum or the curriculum itself. It refers to as BIG CURRICULUM
PROGRAM. Examples are the K to 12 Curriculum, the Integrated
Science Program, the Mother Tongue Curriculum and so on.
2) Curriculum Program Component Evaluation-a curriculum
component may include separate evaluation of
a. Achieved Learning Outcomes
b. Curriculum Process (teaching-learning methods/strategies)
c. Instructional materials (i,e books ,modules, models)

Curriculum Evaluation: A Process and a Tool


Analysis of the various definitions reveals that evaluation is both a
process and a tool.
 As a Process, it follows a procedure based on models and frameworks
to get to the desired results.
 As a Tool, it will help teachers and program implementers to judge the
worth and the merit of the program and innovation or curricular change.
For both Process and a Tool, the results of the evaluation will be the
basis to IMPROVE Curriculum.

Why is there a need to evaluate a curriculum? Tyler, Taba


and others, all of them agree that planning, designing and

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 181


implementing are less useful unless there is Evaluation. The following
are the specific reasons for Curriculum Evaluation:
 Curriculum Evaluation identifies the strengths and weaknesses of an
existing curriculum that will be the basis of the intended plan, design or
implementation. This is referred to as the needs assessment. 
 When evaluation is done in the middle of the curriculum development, it
will tell if the designed or implemented curriculum can produce or is
producing the desired results. This is related to monitoring.
 Based on some standards, curriculum evaluation will guide whether the
results have equalled or exceeded the standards, thus can be labeled
as SUCCESS. This is called terminal assessment.
 Curriculum Evaluation provides information necessary for teachers,
school managers, curriculum specialists for policy recommendations
that will enhance achieved learning outcomes. This is the basis for
decision-making.

In curriculum evaluation, important processes were evolved


such as needs assessment, monitoring, terminal assessment and
decision-making.

CURRICULUM EVALUATION MODELS

How are we going to Evaluate a Curriculum? Curriculum specialists


proposed an array of models which are useful for classroom, teachers and
practitioners in evaluating a Curriculum. Let’s look some of these.

1) Bradley Effectiveness Model for Curriculum Development Indicators


In 1985, L.H. wrote a handbook on Curriculum Leadership and
Development. This book provides indicators that can help measure the
effectiveness of a developed or written curriculum. For purposes of the
classroom teachers, some of the statements were simplified.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 182


First, you have to identify what curriculum you will evaluate.
Example: Elementary Science Curriculum, Teacher Education
Curriculum, Student Teaching Curriculum, Field Study Curriculum.
Then fins out if the curriculum you are evaluating answers YES or NO.
Answering YES to all the questions means, good curriculum.

Indicators Descriptive Questions Yes or No

1. Vertical  Does the curriculum reflect the format


Curriculum (i.e. K to 12, OBE, Inquiry, etc.) that
Continuity enables teachers quickly access what is
being taught in the grade/year levels
below or above the current level?
2. Horizontal  Does the curriculum provide content and
Curriculum objectives that are common to all classes
Continuity of the same grade level? (Example: All
English 101 for all 1st year College
students.)
3. Instruction  Are lesson plans/syllabi/course design
Based on derived from the curriculum and
Curriculum strategies? Are materials used correlated
with the content, objectives and
activities?
4. Broad  Is there evidence of involvement of the
Involvement different curriculum stakeholders in the
planning and implementation of the
curriculum?
5. Long Range  Is review cycle followed within the period
Planning of planning and implementation of the
curriculum?
6. Positive  Did the initial thoughts about the
Human curriculum comes from teachers,
Resource principals, curriculum leaders and other
stakeholders?
7. Theory-into  Is there clarity of vision, mission,
practice graduation outcomes, program

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 183


philosophy, learning outcomes in the
curriculum?

8. Planned  Are there tangible evidence to show that


changed the internal and external publics accept
the developed program?
If any of the indicators is answered with a “NO”, actions should be made
to make it YES.

2. Tyler Objectives Centered Model


Ralph Tyler in 1950 proposed a curriculum evaluation model
which until now continues to influence many curriculums assessment
process. The Tyler Model is often referred to as the objective model
because of its objective approach to educational evaluation. It
emphasizes consistency among objectives, learning experiences, and
outcomes. The Tyler model is best known models for curriculum
development.
In using the Tyler’s Model, the following curriculum
components and processes are identified in curriculum evaluation.
Curriculum Elements Evaluation Process Action
Taken:
Yes or No
1. Objectives/Intende  Pre-determine intended
d Learning learning outcomes or
Outcome objectives.
2. Situation or  Identify the situation/context

instruments before and after to
determine the change.
5. Analysis of Results  Analyze the results obtain to
determine strength and
weaknesses. Identify possible
explanation about the reason
for the particular pattern.
6. Utilization of  Use the results to make the
Results necessary modifications.

3. Daniel Stufflebeam- Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) Model


Program Evaluation
This CIPP Model of Curriculum Evaluation was a product of the
Phi Delta Kappa committee chaired by Daniel Stufflebeam This model
made emphasis that of the result evaluation should provide data for
decision making. There are four stages of Program Evaluation. These
include (1) CONTEXT EVALUATION (2) INPUT EVALUATION (3)
PROCESS EVALUATION (4) PRODUCT EVALUATION.
 CONTEXT EVALUATION-assess the needs and problems in the context
for decision makers to determine the goals and objectives of the program/
curriculum.
 INPUT EVALUATION-assess the alternative mean based on the inputs for
the achievement of objective to help decision makers to choose options for
optimal means.
 PROCESS EVALUATION-monitors the processes both to ensure that the
means are actually being implemented and make necessary modifications.
 PRODUCT EVALUATION-compares actual ends with intended ends and
leads to a series of recycling decisions.

For all the four stages, the six steps are suggested.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 185


Stages of the Steps Taken in All the Stages
CIPP Model
1. Context Step 1: Identify the kind of decision to be made.

3. Process
Step 4: Establish the criteria to determine quality of
Evaluation
4. Product data.
Evaluation Step 5: Analyze data based on the criteria.
Step 6: Organize needed information needed for
decision makers.

4. Stake Responsive Model


Stake Responsive Model is oriented more directly to program
activities than program intents. Evaluation focuses more on the
activities rather than the intent or purposes.

Robert Stake (1975) recommends to the curriculum evaluator


the following steps.

The Curriculum evaluator follows the steps below.


Step 1 Meets with stakeholders to identify their perspectives and
intentions regarding curriculum evaluation.
Step 2 Draws from Step 1 documents to determine the scope of the
evaluation.
Step 3 Observes the curriculum closely to identify the unintended sense
of implementation and any deviations from announced intents.
Step 4 Identifies the stated real purposes of the program and the various
audience.
Step 5 Identifies the problems of the curriculum evaluation at hand and
identifies an evaluation design with needed data.
Step 6 Selects the means needed to collect data or information.
Step 7 Implements the data collection procedure.
Step 8 Organizes the information into themes.
Step 9 Decides with stakeholders the most appropriate formats for the
report.

5. Scriven Consumer Oriented Evaluation

This evaluation was introduced by Michael Scriven in 1967.


These products are often used in schools which require a purchasing
decisión. The products include textbooks, modules, educational
technology like softwares and other instructionsl materials.
Consumer-oriented evaluation uses criteria and checklists as a
tool for either formative or summative evaluation purposes. The use of
criteria and checklist as a tool was proposed by Scriven for adoption by
educational evaluators.

14. Overall design of the learning
activities for individual instruction.
15. Quality of management procedures

A SIMPLE WAY OF CURRICULUM EVALUATION PROCESS

For a very simple and practical way of curriculum evaluation,


responding to the following questions will provide an evaluation data for
curriculum decision. Just ask the following questions and any NO Answer to
an item will indicate a need for a serious curriculum evaluation process.
1. Does the curriculum emphasize learning outcomes?
2. Does the implemented curriculum require less demands?
3. Can this curriculum be applied to any particular level?
4. Can the curriculum aspects be assessed as
a) Written
b) Taught
c) Supported
d) Tested and
e) Learned
5. Does the curriculum include formative assessment?
6. Does the curriculum include summative assessment?
7. Does the curriculum provide quantitative methods of assessment?
8. Does the curriculum provide for qualitative methods of assessment?
9. Can the curriculum provide the data needed for decision making?

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 188


10. Are the findings of evaluation available to stakeholders?

In summary, whatever models of curriculum evaluation to be used,


ASCD,1983 suggest the following steps.

The steps are easy to follow. Begin thinking of how curriculum


evaluators will proceed in finding out if there is a need to modify, enhance or
continue with the implementation of the curriculum. The main purpose of
evaluation is to improve the existing condition, so that it would benefit the
students.

SUMMARY

Curriculum Evaluation is an integral and essential part of the


whole process of curriculum development. It is the assessment of the
merit and worth of a program of studies, a field of study, or a course of
study. It is a continuous activity and not a “tail-end-process”.
Famous curricularists have also their own definition on
curriculum evaluation. According to Ornstein et. al, (1998) they defined
curriculum evaluation as a process in gathering data that enables them
to decide whether to accept, change, eliminate, the whole curriculum.
For Mcneil (1977) the evaluation answers these two questions. First,
do planned learning and organized actually produce desired results?
Secondly, how can a curriculum best be improved?
Gay (1985) stated that evaluation is to identify strengths and
weaknesses as well as the problems encountered in the implementation, to
improve the curriculum development process.
Oliva (1988) believes that curriculum evaluation is a process of
delineating, obtaining and providing useful information for judging alternatives
for purposes of modifying, or eliminating a curriculum.
There are two ways of looking at curriculum evaluation:

1. Curriculum Program Evaluation where it focuses on the overall aspects


of a curriculum and this refers to as big Curriculum like the K to 12
Curriculum and so on.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 190


2. Curriculum Program Component evaluation which has a separate
evaluation of achieved learning outcomes,curriculum process and
instructional media such as books and modules.

There are some specific reasons and important processes why


we need to evaluate a curriculum. First the needs assessment, it
should be assessed according to the need through recognizing the
strength and weaknesses of an existing curriculum. Secondly,
monitoring of the designed curriculum and examine the implementation
if it’s still aligned to the intended learning outcomes. Then, in the
Terminal Assessment, it can only be tagged as an effective curriculum
if the results of the evaluation have been rivalled or excelled form the
standards. Lastly the decision-making, the result of the conducted
curriculum evaluation will be the basis by some stakeholders and
curriculum specialists for policy recommendations for the improvement
of the existing condition. All of the curricularists agreed that planning,
designing and implementing are worthless unless there is evaluation
process.
There five models in evaluating a curriculum that proposed by
curriculum specialists which are highly useful in classroom, for teachers and
practitioners.
1. Bradley Effectiveness Model for Curriculum Development Indicators
 L.H. Bradley wrote a book on Curriculum Leadership and
Development. In this book it provides indicators that help measure
the effectiveness of a developed curriculum.
2. Tyler Objectives Centered Model
 In 1950, Ralph Tyler proposed a curriculum evaluation model which
gained a big impact in curriculum development because it is easy to
understand and apply. It focuses on curricular strengths and
weaknesses, rather than being concerned solely with the
performance of individual students.
3. Daniel Stufflebeam Model-Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP)
Model Program Evaluation

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 191


 CIPP Model of evaluation was developed by Daniel Stufflebeam
and colleagues in the 1960’s. It is an evaluation model that provides
the holistic view of every element by evaluating the context, input,
process and product from each and every angle.
4. Stake Responsive Model
 Robert E. Stake created a system for carrying out evaluation in
education in 1970’s. It focuses on the concerns of the primary
stakeholders, gathered through conversations with these parties on
an ongoing basis during evaluation.
5. Scriven Consumer Oriented Evaluation Model
 This evaluation was introduced by Michael Scriven in 1967. In this
model, it emphasizes the function of the evaluator as unbiased
observer who begins by generating a profile of needs for the group
served by a given program. It uses criteria and checklist as a tool
for either or summative evaluation purposes.

In conducting curriculum evaluation, we have to consider the following


steps:

1. Identifying primary audiences such as the stakeholders because


they play an important role in managing schools. They are the partners
of the school leaders in making the schools conducive to teaching and
learning.
2. Identifying critical issues/problems. We have to expect different
outcome after the evaluation process it might be of what we expected
or the opposite one. Also, the availability and suitability of our
resources during the implementation process.
3. Identifying data sources. We have to emphasize the capability of our
performers or the sources of your information and the conductors who
manage the evaluation. The validity of the data gathered during
evaluation process.
4. Identifying the techniques for collecting the data. Having a direct
observation/interview to gather a firsthand information so that the
observer will have a holistic perspective in data gathering. Providing a

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 192


simple with basic directions in the questionnaires so that it is readable
and easy to understand.12
5. Identifying established standards and criteria. The established
standard/criteria set by DepEd, CHED and PRC shall be fully
implemented by the government schools as it will be their
basis/guidelines in evaluation.
6. Identifying techniques in data analysis. We have to consider how
you conduct the evaluation, how the data gathered and its
interpretation.
7. Preparing evaluation report. It is a written document that describes
how you monitored and conducted the evaluation. It presents the
findings, conclusions and recommendations for how evaluation results
can be used to guide the program for improvement and decision
making.
8. Preparing modes of display. Choosing what kind of multimedia to be
used in representing the result of the evaluation conducted and some
recommendations.

It depends on the curriculum evaluators to locate if there’s a


need to reject, improve or continue with the implementation of the
curriculum. The main purpose for evaluating the curriculum is to
improve the existing condition, so that it will benefit the students. One
way to achieve the success of a curriculum is a hand in hand
participation and cooperation of all stakeholders.

Lesson 2
Curriculum Evaluation through Learning Assessment

PRE DISCUSSION

This chapter contains assessment of learning is an evaluation


process that tells whether the intended learning outcomes through the
teaching-learning process, have been converted to achieved learning
outcomes.
Assessment of learning occurs throughout the learning process.
In evaluating the achieved learning outcome, teachers use
assessments tools as to find out what their students know and can do,
and what confusions, preconceptions, or gaps they might have.

LESSON OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students can:
1. Identify the levels of learning outcomes an levels of assessment;
2. Understand how the curriculum can be evaluated by the
assessment of learning outcomes;
3. Match the levels of learning outcomes with the appropriate
assessment tools.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 202


CONTENT OF THE LESSON

Achieved Learning Outcomes is defined in outcomes-based


education (OBE) as a product of what have been intended in the
beginning of the learning process.
 These are also accomplished learning outcomes.
 Standard and competencies are used as the indicators and measures
of these outcomes.

Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF)

Our country has established the Philippine Qualification Framework


(PQF) as a standard which will be aligned to the ASEAN Reference
Qualification Framework (ARQF) for the comparability of the learning
outcomes at the different levels of educational ladder. The PQF is shown in
the diagram:

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 203


The Philippine Educational System is divided into eight levels. In
each level, the learners is expected to achieve specific standards and
competencies of the learning outcomes. The eight levels of complexity is
based on the three domain.
 Knowledge, Skills and Values
 Application
 Responsibility – degree of independence

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 204


Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 205
This three degree program the baccalaureate, master’s and
doctorate degrees are for tertiary education issued by the Commission on
Higher Education (CHED).

The PQF is the Philippine framework which is comparable to the ten


member countries of the ASEAN. These countries are Malaysia, Indonesia,
Brunei Darrussalam, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia,

Assessment Tools for each level of learning outcomes

Knowledge, Process, Understanding (KPU) are learning outcomes.


Students who can show that they have gained knowledge, can apply such
knowledge and have achieved several meaning on the particular knowledge
have achieved the learning outcomes.

Types pf Tests to Measure Knowledge, Process and Understanding

1. Objective Tests – this test require only one and one correct answer. It
is difficult to construct but easy to check.

1.1 Pencil and Paper Test - the test is written on the paper and
requires a pencil to write.

A. Simple Recall – is the most common tool to measure


knowledge. There are varieties of Simple recall test includes:
 Fill in the blanks
 Enumeration
 Identification
 Simple recall
B. Alternative Response test – is the type of pencil and pencil
test, where two options or choices are provided. The items can
be stated in a question or a statement form.
Example:
 True or False: The Philippine population has reached
one million.
 Yes or No: Has the Philippine population reached one
million?

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 208


C. Multiple Choice Test – is the type identified as the most
versatile test type because it can measure a variety of learning
outcome.
The incomplete statements, or direct question is called
STEM. The list of suggested solutions in word, numbers, symbols,
or phrases are called ALTERNATIVES, OPTIONS or CHOICES.
The correct alternatives is called the ANSWER while the
remaining options or choices are called DISTRACTERS,
DISTRACTORS or DECOYS.

 Correct Answer Type - other alternatives are clearly


wrong and only one is the correct answer. This can be
constructed in direct question or completion of the
sentence.
Examples:

Direct Question
What is NOT a member of ASEAN 2015 economic
community?
A. Vietnam C. Malaysia
B. Korea D. Philippines

Incomplete Sentence
A country in South East Asia which is not a
member of the ASEAN 2015 economic community is
A. Vietnam C. Malaysia
B. Korea D. Philippines

 Best Answer Type - all the alternatives are correct but


only one is the best.
Examples:

Direct Question

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 209


What do progressive educators consider as the
most important factor in the teaching learning process?
A. Teacher C. Learner
B. Books D. Principal

Incomplete Sentence
According to the progressive educators, the most
important factor in the teaching-learning process is.
A. Teacher C. Learner
B. Books D. Principal
D. Matching Type Test – the most common matching type is made
up of two parallel columns, the first column A as the premise that
present the problem and the second column B that provides the
answer.
Matching type test is useful in measuring the factual information
as well as relationships between two things, ideas, or concepts. Some
of the relationships that can be matched are found in the matrix below.

Relationships that can be used in Matching Type Tests


Persons Achievements
Dates Historical Events
Terms Definitions
Principles Illustrations
Parts Functions
Machines Uses
Diseases Causes

 Perfect Matching Type - is the number of premises in


Column A is less than number of responses in Column B.
the response can only be used once.
Example:
In column A are popular descriptions of Presidents
during their term of office. Match them with the names of
Philippine President in Column B.
Column A (Premise) Column B
(Responses)

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 210


1. Ramon Magsaysay A. Man of the
Masses
2. Carlos Garcia B. People Power
3. Corazon Aquino C. Filipino First
Policy
D. Champions of
First
Land Reform Law

 Imperfect Matching Type - is the number of premises in


column A are not equal to the number of the responses in
Column B. the response or premise can be used more
than once.
Example:

In column A are names of well-known curriculum


evaluators. Match them with the evaluation models they
have been identified with in column B. You can use the
letter once or more than once.
Column A (Premise) Column B (responses)
1. Consumer Oriented Model A. Michael Scriven
2. Responsive Model B. Daniel
Stufflebeam
3. CIIP Model C. Robert Stake
4. Goal free Model D. Ralph Tyler
5. Phi Delta Kappa Model
2. Subjective Test - Learning outcomes which indicate
learner’s ability to originate and express ideas is difficult to test through
objective type test. Subjective type test, answers through reflections,
insights, and opinion can be through essay.

1. Essay - test items allow students freedom of response.


Students are free to select, relate and present ideas in their own words.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 211


A. Restricted Response Item - this is like an expanded form of
short answer type objective test. There is a limit on both the content
scope and the form of student response.it is most useful in measuring
learning outcomes that require the interpretation and application of
data in a specific area.
Example:
1. What are the main body parts of plant? Describe each part.

B. Extended Response Item – the student is generally free to


select any factual information that can help in organizing the
responses. The contents of an extended essay will depend on the
analysis, synthesis, evaluation and other higher order thinking skills of
the test takers.
Example:
1. What can you say about NATO’s position on the ISIS?

Types of Essay that measure Complex Learning Outcomes

Type of Essay Test Item Examples of complex Learning


outcomes that can be measured
Ability to:
 Explain cause-effect
relationships
Restricted Response Essay Items  Describe application of
principles
 Formulate valid conclusion
 Enumerate and explain
 Explain methods and procedure

Ability to:
 Organize ideas
Extended Response Essay Items  Integrate learning
 Design an experiment
 Evaluate the worth of ideas

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 212


3. Authentic Learning Performance and Products Assessment Tools is a
test that measures real life tasks, performances and actual products.

A. Checklist - is a tool that consists of a list of qualities that are expected


to be observed as present or absent. The presence is to be marked √ and
the absence is marked X.
Example: Checklist on the use of microscope (5points)
Instruction: Observe the student in a laboratory activity with the use of
microscope. Check (√) the items which you have seen, which were
done appropriately and mark (X) items which were not appropriately
done.
________1. Put specimen on the slide.
________2. Place the slide on the stage.
________3. Turns to low power objectives.
________4. Looks through eyepiece with one eye.
________5. Adjust for maximum enlargement and resolution.

B. Rating Scale is a tool that uses a scale in a number line as a basis


to estimate the numerical value of a performance or a product. The
most popular rating scale is called Likert Scale.
Example: Rating Scale for a Science Project
Instruction: On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 as the lowest and 10 as the
highest score, rate the projects on the following elements. Circle the
choice of your answer.

1. Purpose/s are clear 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10


2. Relevant to environmental problem 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
3. Use local materials 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
4. Shows collaborative work 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
5. Overall impact to humanity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

C. Rubrics for portfolio- a Portfolio is compilation of the

experiences as authentic learning outcomes presented with


evidence and reflections. To assess the total learning
experiences as presented in a wholistic package, an
assessment tool called a RUBRIC is utilized.

Levels of Assessment for the Levels of Learning Outcomes

Levels of assessment describe levels of the learning outcomes


which are 1. Knowledge, 2. Process or Skills, 3. Understanding 4.
Products or Performance.
The levels of learning outcomes are also used to describe the levels of
assessment.

SUMMARY
Assessment of student academic achievement is the process of
evaluating whether students are learning. More specifically,
assessment is the systematic collection, review, and use of information
to increase students' learning and development. Through a variety of
measures, students are assessed to determine whether or not they are
achieving the learning outcomes that faculty have determined for their
courses and programs.
Achieved Learning Outcomes - is defined in outcomes-based
education (OBE) as a product of what have been intended in the
beginning of the learning process.
The Philippine Educational System is divided into eight levels these are
the Grade 10 and Grade 12 for Basic Education, NC1, NCII, NCIII, NCIV and
Diploma for TESDA, Baccalaureate, Master’s and Doctor’s degree for Higher
Education. The eight levels of complexity of learning outcomes has three
domains, first Knowledge, Skills and Values, second Application and last is
the Responsibility.
Types of Test to measure Knowledge, Process and Understanding are:
1. Objective Tests.
 Pencil and Paper Test
o Simple Recall

- Fill in the blanks
- Enumeration
- Identification
- Simple recall
o Alternative Response Test
- True or False

- Imperfect Matching Type
2. Subjective Test
 Essay
o Restricted Response Item
o Extended Response Item
3. Authentic Evaluation
 Checklist
 Rating Scale
 Rubrics for Portfolio
These are the Assessment tools that we can use to measure the learning
outcomes of our student.

The four Levels of Learning Outcomes are Knowledge, Skills, Understanding


and Performance. This level of learning outcome is also used to describe the
levels of Assessment.

RUBRICS

PRE-DISCUSSION

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 223


A rubric is typically an evaluation tool or set of guidelines
used to promote the consistent application of learning
expectations, learning objectives, or learning standards in the
classroom, or to measure their attainment against a consistent set
of criteria.
In instructional settings, rubrics clearly define academic
expectations for students and help to ensure consistency in the
evaluation of academic work from student to student, assignment
to assignment, or course to course. Rubrics are also used as
scoring instruments to determine grades or the degree to which
learning standards have been demonstrated or attained by
students.
In courses, rubrics may be provided and explained to
students before they begin an assignment to ensure that learning
expectations have been clearly communicated to and understood
by students, and, by extension, parents or other adults involved in
supporting a student’s education.

LESSON OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students can:
 Define Rubrics ( Holistic and Analytic)
 Determine the disadvantages and advantages of Holistic and
Analytic Rubrics
 Recognize the steps in making Rubrics
 Create Rubrics
 Appreciate the importance of making Rubrics

CONTENT OF THE LESSON

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 224


Rubrics the word rubric came from Latin word for red .In
education terminology rubrics mean a guide listing specific
criteria for grading or scoring academic papers, projects, or
tests.

Definition;

 A scoring tool that lays out the specific expectations for an


assessment task (Stevens & Levi, 2005)
 A set of clear explanations or criteria used to help teachers and
students focus on what is valued in a subject, topic, or activity
(Russell, & Airasian, 2012).

What is Rubrics?
 A standardized scoring guide
 Identifies important criteria and levels of success for each criterion
 A table that identifies and describes various levels of student
performance for each of a set of criteria
 A method of rating student work in a more objective manner.  A
kind of scorecard that breaks down a written or demonstrated
assignment into manageable, observable pieces.

Advantages using Rubrics

 Good for measuring higher-order skills or evaluating complex


tasks.
 Summaries of results can reveal patterns of student strengths
and areas of concern.
 Can generate great discussions of student learning among
faculty, especially regarding expectations.
 Grading is more objective, unbiased, and consistent

Characteristics of Good Rubrics

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 225


o Well defined
o Content specific
o Finite & Comprehensive
o Ordered
o Related to common goals/themes

Rubrics can used to assess

 Essays/Papers
 Projects
 Lab work
 Presentations
 Exam questions
 Capstone projects
 Exhibits
 Performances
 Portfolios of student work
 Artwork
 Internships

Basic Steps to Design


Rubric

Step 1: Select a project/assignment for assessment.


Example: Work in small groups to write and present a
collaborative research paper.
Step 2: What performance skill(s) or competency (ies) are
students demonstrating through their work on this project?
Example: Ability to work as part of a team.
Step 3: List the traits you'll assess when evaluating the
project--in other words, ask: "What counts in my assessment of
this work?" Use nouns or noun phrases to name traits, and avoid
evaluative language. Limit the number of traits to no more than

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 226


seven. Each trait should represent a key teachable attribute of the
overall skill you're assessing.
Example: Content, Coherence and Organization, Creativity,
Graphics and visuals Delivery‐
Step 4: Decide on the number of gradations of mastery
you'll establish for each trait and the language you'll use to
describe those levels.
Example: Four points of gradation: Exceptional/Excellent
Admirable/Good Acceptable/Fair Amateur/Poor
Step 5: For each trait write statements that describe work
at each level of mastery.
Step 6: Design the format for presenting the rubrics to
student and for scoring the student work.
Step 7: Test the rubrics and tune it on the feedback from
colleagues. Step to Design rubrics Exceptional: Thesis is clearly
stated and developed; specific examples are appropriate and
clearly develop thesis; conclusion is clear; ideas flow together
well; good transitions; succinct but not choppy; well-organized.

Types of Rubrics

Holistic Rubrics:
 Single criteria rubrics (one-dimensional) used to assess
participants' overall achievement on an activity or item based on
predefined achievement levels;
 Performance descriptions are written in paragraphs and usually
in full sentences.

Example for Holistic Rubrics


Criterion Score
Use appropriate test which correct 4
interpretation. Identifies correct null and

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 227


alternative hypothesis.
Provides most of level 4 but with 3
unclear/incorrect interpretation.
Use incorrect test reaming work follow 2
from error.
Use incorrect test and remaining work 1
does not follow.
Little or no work of value. 0

Advantages & Disadvantages of Holistic


Rubrics

Advantages
 Give diagnostic information to the teacher.
 Gives formative feedback to students.
 Easier to link to instruction than holistic rubrics.
 Good for formative assessment; adaptable for summative
assessment; if you need an overall score for grading, you can
combine the scores.

Disadvantages
 Does not provide specific feedback for improvement
 Does not provide detailed information, may be difficult to provide
one overall score.

Analytic Rubrics
Two-dimensional rubrics with levels of achievement as
columns and assessment criteria as rows. Allows you to assess
participants' achievements based on multiple criteria using a
single rubric. You can assign different weights (value) to different
criteria and include an overall achievement by totaling the
criteria; written in a table form.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Analytic Rubrics

 Scoring is faster than with analytic rubrics.


 Requires less time to achieve inter-rater reliability.
 Good for summative assessment. Disadvantages:
 Takes more time to score than holistic rubrics.
 Unless each point for each criterion is well-defined raters may
not arrive at the same score.

Holistic Rubric VS Analytic Rubrics

Holistic
 Single grading scale all criteria considered in the evaluation is
included together.
 Rater assign a single score (ex. AP exam)
 Doesn’t provide as granular, targeted feedback on student
performance.
Analytic
 Multi-component grading scale- describes each evaluation
criteria separately.
 Rater assign a score for each component, along with an overall
score (total or weighted).
 Provides more granular, targeted feedback.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 230


 More time consuming to create.

Why We Use Rubrics

 Enhance students’ learning experiences by involving them in the


process of developing the rubrics
 Provide samples/examples of successful student work from
previous classes and/or analogous classes
 Develop and use rubrics for each assignment (regardless of
paper, presentation, report, etc.)
 Return rubric to student when handing back assignments
 Use the rubric to award a final grade for the assignment, and
include any additional comments that do not fit within the rubric’s
criteria below the rubric (if space allows)

Types of Rubrics
1. Holistic Rubrics:

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 237


 Single criteria rubrics (one-dimensional) used to assess
participants' overall achievement on an activity or item based on
predefined achievement levels;
 Performance descriptions are written in paragraphs and usually
in full sentences.

Sample for Holistic Rubrics


Criterion Score
Use appropriate test which correct 4

alternative hypothesis.
Provides most of level 4 but with 3
unclear/incorrect interpretation.
Use incorrect test reaming work follow 2

Little or no work of value. 0

Advantages & Disadvantages of Holistic Rubrics

Advantages
 Give diagnostic information to the teacher.
 Gives formative feedback to students.
 Easier to link to instruction than holistic rubrics.
 Good for formative assessment; adaptable for summative
assessment; if you need an overall score for grading, you can
combine the scores.

Disadvantages:

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 238


 Does not provide specific feedback for improvement
 Does not provide detailed information, may be difficult to provide
one overall score.
2. Analytic Rubrics
Two-dimensional rubrics with levels of achievement as columns
and assessment criteria as rows. Allows you to assess
participants' achievements based on multiple criteria using a
single rubric. You can assign different weights (value) to different
criteria and include an overall achievement by totaling the
criteria; written in a table form.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Analytic Rubrics:


 Scoring is faster than with analytic rubrics.
 Requires less time to achieve inter-rater reliability.
 Good for summative assessment. Disadvantages:
 Takes more time to score than holistic rubrics.
 Unless each point for each criterion is well-defined raters may
not arrive at the same score.

Holistic Rubrics VS Analytic Rubrics


Holistic
 Single grading scale all criteria considered in the evaluation is
included together.
 Rater assign a single score (ex. AP exam)
 Doesn’t provide as granular, targeted feedback on student
performance.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 240


Analytic
 Multi-component grading scale- describes each evaluation
criteria separately.
 Rater assign a score for each component, along with an overall
score (total or weighted).
 Provides more granular, targeted feedback.
 More time consuming to create.

Why We Use Rubrics


 Enhance students’ learning experiences by involving them in the
process of developing the rubrics
 Provide samples/examples of successful student work from
previous classes and/or analogous classes
 Develop and use rubrics for each assignment (regardless of
paper, presentation, report, etc.)
 Return rubric to student when handing back assignments
 Use the rubric to award a final grade for the assignment, and
include any additional comments that do not fit within the rubric’s
criteria below the rubric (if space allows)

B. GENERALIZATION
Rubrics
A scoring tool that lays out the specific expectations for an
assessment task (Stevens & Levi, 2005)
• A set of clear explanations or criteria used to help teachers
and students focus on what is valued in a subject, topic, or activity
(Russell, & Airasian, 2012).
Basic steps of Design Rubrics
Step 1: Select a project/assignment for assessment.
Example: Work in small groups to write and present a
collaborative research paper.
Step 2: What performance skill(s) or competency (ies) are
students demonstrating through their work on this project?
Example: Ability to work as part of a team.
Step 3: List the traits you'll assess when evaluating the
project--in other words, ask: "What counts in my assessment of
this work?" Use nouns or noun phrases to name traits, and avoid
evaluative language. Limit the number of traits to no more than

LESSON 3
Planning, Implementing and Evaluating: Understanding the
Connection

PRE DISCUSSION
This learning resource hope to engage the learners into guided
and independent
Learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this
also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21 st century skills while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

LESSON OBJECTIVE
 Explain the connection of planning to implement in curriculum
development;
 Explain the connection of implementing to evaluating in curriculum
development;
 Explain the connection of evaluating to planning in curriculum
development;
 Understand the connection between planning and Implementing and
evaluating in the curriculum process.

CONTENT OF THE LESSON


Does Curriculum Development end up with evaluation? Yes,
according to some models presented by Hilda Taba and Ralph Tyler.
However, since curriculum development is a continuous process, it can
also viewed like a PIE. Planning. Implementing, and Evaluating (PIE) is
a cyclical process which means that after evaluating, the process of
planning starts again.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 244


The Evaluation Cycle: The Connections
Planning, Implementing and Assessing are three processes
in curriculum development that are taken separately but are connected
to each other. The cycle continues as each is embedded in a dynamic
change that happens in curriculum development

Key Idea: Planning is an initial step in curriculum development.

Planning is an initial process in curriculum development. It


includes determining the needs though an assessment. Needs would
include those of the learners, the teachers, the community and the
society as these relate to curriculum. After the needs have been
identified, the intended outcomes are set. Intended outcomes should
be smart, specific, measurable, attainable, with result, and with in the
frame of time. Intended outcomes should be doable, achievable and
desired. After establishing these, then a curricularist should find out in
planning the ways of achieving the desired outcomes. These are ways
and means, and the strategies to achieve outcomes. Together with the
methods and strategies are the identification the support materials. All
of these should be written, and should to include the means of
evaluation.
An example of curriculum plan is a lesson plan. It is a written
document. Many planners would say: A good plan is half of the work
done. “So, in curriculum development a well written plan assures a
successful implementation.
The end product planning is a written document. Some outputs
of curriculum planning are lesson plans, unit plan, syllabus, course
design, modules, books, instructional guides, or even a new science
curriculum plan.

Key Idea: Implementing continues after planning

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 245


What should be implemented? The planned curriculum which
was written should be implemented. It has to be put into action or used
by a curriculum implementer who is the teacher. Curriculum plans
should not remain as a written document. It will become useless.
A curriculum planner can also be a curriculum implementor. In
fact, a curriculum planner who implements the curriculum must have a
full grasp of what is to be done. This is an important role of the teacher.
With a well written curriculum plan, a teacher can execute this
with the help of instructional materials, equipment, resource materials
and enough time. The curriculum implementor must also see to it that
the plan which serves as a guide is executed correctly. The skill and
the ability of the teacher to impart guide learning are necessary in the
curriculum implementation. It is necessary that the end in view or the
intended outcomes will be achieved in the implementation.

Key Idea: Evaluation follows implementation

The focus of this chapter is evaluation after planning, and


implementation was done. It is very necessary to find out at this point, if
the planned or written curriculum was implemented successfully and
the desired learning outcomes were achieve.
Curriculum evaluation as a big idea may follow evaluation
models which can be used for programs and projects. These models
discussed in the previous lesson guide the process and the
corresponding tools that will be used to measure outcomes.
However, when used for assessment of learning, which is also
evaluation, more attention is given to levels of assessment for the
levels of learning outcomes as defined by the Department of
Education, The use of the description for proficiency the learner is
described by the qualified values of the weighted test scores in a
interval scale.
Key Idea: What has been planned, should be implemented and what
has been implemented should be evaluated.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 246


Finally the PIE. The cyclical flow of the three process in curriculum
development is very easy to remember and follow. As a curricularist,
these guiding ideas clarify our understanding that one cannot assess
what was not taught, nor implement what was not planned. PLAN then
IMPLEMENT then EVALUATE and the next cycle begins.

TAKE ACTION

Activity 1: A day in a life of a teacher in the classroom

1. Look for a teacher, who you know personality?


2. Ask her/him to answer the following;

a. What are the teaching plans that you do everyday?


Give at least three.
b. Do you implement this plans? How?
c. If you implements this plans, how do you evaluate
these?

3. After you have ask and recorded the information, write


this in a paragraph form.

Self-Reflection
Reflect the information given by the teacher in your interview above.

“Is the teacher’s life a series of planning, implementing and


evaluating? Will this improve teaching? Why?”

ASSESSMENT
Using your own idea, create a simple 4a lesson plan.

Presentation of the lesson on how planning helps in implementing

DEFINITION OF TERMS:
Planning –

PLANNING AND PREPARATION

‘One of the most important (principles of good teaching)


is the need for planning. Far from compromising spontaneity,

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 250


planning provides a structure and context for teacher and students,
as well as a framework for reflection ‘(Spencer, 2003, p. 25).

We have seen that one of the advantages of small group


teaching is that it provides opportunities for in- depth discussion,
reflection and consolidation of learning. Small group teaching is
also costly in terms of time and physical resources, so it is
important to maximize the learning that can be achieved by forward
planning and appropriate structuring of activities.

Spenser (2003, p. 25) notes that there are four fundamental


questions a clinical teaching should ask themselves when planning
a teaching session.

 Who am I teaching? The number of learners and their study level or


stage in training.

 What am I teaching? The topic or subject, the type of expected


learning (knowledge, skills, and behaviors).

 How will I teach it? Teaching and learning methods, length of time
available, location of teaching session, access to patients, internet
resources, clinical skills models, etc.

 How will I know if the students understand? Informal and formal


assessments, questioning techniques, feedback from learners.

To these we might add the following.

 What do the learners know already?

 What are the learners going on to next?

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 251


 What do the learners want to know or be able to do as a result of your
teaching? And how will I find this out?

 How will I build in flexibility to unforeseen learning needs?

Thinking point

 Can you answer the above questions for all the groups you teach? If
not, how might you find out the answers?

You will find more detailed ideas about identifying learning needs in the
assessing education needs module in this series.

It can be helpful to devise a lesson plan for each teaching session, this
may be very detailed or a simple broad-brush plan, but before the
session, you should:

 Define your aims and learning outcomes or objectives

 Think about the structure of the session and timing of activities

 Decide on the best teaching and learning methods to achieve the


learning outcome

 List content and key topics, and research more if needed

 Refine the lesson plan

 Identify learning resources and support material

 Finalize any linked assessment or evaluation.

Pre-Discussion

K-12 program have been implemented by the Department of


Education throughout the whole country. Philippines is continuously
getting more and more globally competitive, the K-12 program is just
another step closer to a brighter and more competitive future to all
students and professionals alike.
In this lesson you will be learning on the curricular reforms in the
Philippines. It is here to help you learn more about the implementation
of K to 12. This you will learn the curricular innovation in the
Philippines. This lesson was designed and written with you in mind, so
let’s study theme one by one. Are you ready? Get it on!

Lesson Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the students can:

a. talk about the importance of Senior High School;

b. present in details the factors affecting Senior High School;

c. appreciate the importance of the Senior High School.

Content of the Lessson

The enhanced basic education


program encompasses: – One (1) year of
kindergarten education, – six (6) years of
elementary education, – six (6) years of
secondary education, in that sequence.
Secondary education includes four (4) years
of junior high school and two (2) years of
senior high school education. For
kindergarten and the first three (3) years of

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 256


elementary education, instruction, teaching
materials and assessment shall be in the
regional or native language of the learners.
Why K to 12
K-12 program Makes the Philippine education system par with the
international standard of 12- year
basic education thereby
contributing to a better
educated society capable of
pursuing productive employment,
entrepreneurship, or higher
education studies. After going
through kindergarten, elementary,
junior high and a specialized
senior high school program, every k-12 graduate is ready to go into different
paths– higher education, middle level skills development or entrepreneurship.
The k-12 graduates are also expected to be equipped with 21st century skills
like information, media and technology skills, learning innovation skills,
effective communication skills, and life and career skills.

Basis of the K-12 implementation


1. Insufficient mastery of basic competencies due to congested curriculum.

The table present the national


achievement test result of 4th
year student of Mathematics
which results only 15% of the
students acquired mastery of
Mathematics competencies
while majority of the high
school students belonged to
the low mastery level

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 257


The table present the national achievement for Science which is more
discouraging since only 3% of
the 4th year high school
students mastered the
Science processes and skills.
Majority belonged to the low
mastery category and a few
were in the near mastery
level.
One of the factors that
contribute to the low
performance in achievement
test is the congested basic education curriculum. The ten (10) years would not
be enough to master the competencies. Adding two (2) years would make
possible the decongestion of the curriculum for comprehensive acquisition of
basic competencies and the 21st century skills.
2. The Philippines is the only remaining country in Asia with 10 – year basic
education program

Basic Education program puts millions of overseas Filipino


workers, esp. the professionals, and those who intended study abroad
at disadvantages. Graduate of Philippine school are not recognized as
professionals outside the country due to the lack of two (2) years of
basic education.
With K to 12, Filipino professionals would have the same competitive
edge with professionals in other countries having gone through twelve (12)
years of basic education.

Section 5 of the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, stipulates the
following curricular standards which the curriculum developers adhered to on
crafting the K to 12 curriculum:
a) The curriculum shall be learner- centered, inclusive and developmentally
appropriate;
b) The curriculum shall be relevant, responsive and research-based;
c) The curriculum shall be culture- sensitive;
d) The curriculum shall be contextualized and global;
e) The curriculum shall use pedagogical approaches that are constructivist,
inquiry-based, reflective, collaborative and integrative;
f) The curriculum shall adhere to the principles and framework of Mother
Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE)
g) The curriculum shall use the spiral progression approach to ensure mastery
of knowledge and skills after each level; and
h) The curriculum shall be flexible enough to enable and allow schools to
localize, indigenize and enhance the same based on their respective
educational and social contexts.

Curriculum Tracks
The student after undergoing Senior High School can choose
among four tracks: Academic; Technical-Vocational-Livelihood; and

MODU OUTCOME-BASED-EDUCATION: BASIS FOR
ENHANCED TEACHER EDUCATION
Module 7 CURRICULUM

Module Overview
What matters today is that, good education and training has
become one of the key aspects of the requirements for being successful in
life. Therefore, good education and training should not only be of an academic
nature, but it should also prepare learners adequately for the work place. And
that is what Outcome-Based Education for.

Outcome-Based Education (0BE) became the fundamental


philosophy of higher education in the Philippines lately. All curricula including
of teacher education will be anchored on the concept of OBE in terms of
course designing, instructional planning, teaching and assessing students
learning. OBE becomes a big help for the teachers to be more effective in the
teaching-learning process.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 277


This module will give you the opportunity to understand what
OBE is all about and relate the same to teacher education curriculum as
future teachers.

Objective

At the end of the lesson, the students can:

 Understand what OBE is all about

 Analyze the influence of OBE in the teacher education curriculum

 Reflect on the future teacher education curriculum in the light of OBE

 Appreciate the importance of OBE in the teaching-learning process

Lesson 1
Outcome-Based-Education: Basis for Enhanced Teacher Education
Curriculum.

PRE-DISCUSSION
Teaching in the 21st century is very challenging; it demands a
higher quality and standard education. In order to meet the educational
demand, educators come up with new strategies and approaches that
could help the teaching-learning process. Outcome-based education is
a model of education that rejects the traditional focus on what the
school provides to students, in favor of making students demonstrate
that they "know and are able to do" whatever the required outcomes
are.

OBE is simply the establishment of expected goals or outcomes


for different levels of elementary-secondary education, and a

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 278


commitment to ensuring that every student achieves at least those
minimum proficiencies before being allowed to graduate. Now a days
students became more involve and responsible in their learning.
Outcome-based education keeps learner at the center of education
system and its emphasis on skill and knowledge oriented development
of the learner.

LESSON OBJECTIVE

At the end of the lesson the student can:


1. Adjust the strengths and weaknesses to further develop their knowledge
and skills.
2. Set up to succeed and improve their knowledge and skills.
3. Yields students to become outputs rather than inputs.

CONTENT OF THE LESSON


Lesson 1: Outcomes Based Education for teacher preparation
curriculum.

Definition of Outcomes Based Education clearly focusing and organizing in


educational system around the essential for all the student to do successfully
at the end of their learning experience. (W.Spady).

Four Essential Principles of OBE:

Principle 1: Clarity of focus.


Teacher should bear in mind that the outcome of teaching is
learning.
Teacher and student should have a clear picture in min

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 279


d what knowledge, skills values must be achieved.

Principle 2: Designing Backwards.


At the beginning of the learning outcomes has to be clearly defined.
This means that planning implementing (teaching) and assessing should be
connected to the outcomes.

Principle 3: High Expectation.


Challenging standard of performance will encourage to learn better.
Parallel to the Thorndike’s law of effect which says that success reinforces
learning, motivates, builds confidence and encourage learners to do better.

Principle 4: Expanded Opportunities.


Learners develop inborn potentials if corresponding opportunities and support
are given to nurture.

Teaching- learning OBE


Teaching is teaching if learners learn. Learning is measured by its outcome.
How then should teaching- learning be done in OBE?
 Teacher must prepare student adequately.
 Teacher must create positive learning environment.
 Teachers must use a variety of methods.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 280


Assessment of Learning Outcomes in OBE

1. Assessment procedure should be valid.


2. Assessment procedure should be reliable.
3. Assessment procedure should be fair.
4. Assessment procedure should reflect the knowledge and skills that are
important to the students.
5. Assessment should tell both teacher and student how student are
progressing.
6. Assessment should support every student’s opportunity to learn things
that are important.
7. Assessment should allow individually or uniqueness to be
demonstrated.
8. Assessment should be comprehensive to cover a wide range of learning
outcomes.

Learners Responsibility for Learning.

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 281


Student’s are responsible for their own learning and progress.
Common question that will guide student as they learn under the OBE
Curriculum framework.
As a student,
1. What do I have to learn?
2. Why do I have to learn it?
3. What will I be doing while I am learning?
4. How will I know that I am learning?
5. Will I have any say in what I learn?
6. How will I be assessed?

SUMMARY
OBE is more of a philosophy than a uniform set of practices.
Clarity of focus (having specific outcomes gives a strong
sense of purpose to everything teachers and students do).
Designing Backwards, (when planning curriculum, educators
start with the outcomes and work backwards; when planning
instruction, teachers teach what students need to learn to demonstrate the
outcomes).
High expectations (OBE departs from traditional education in its assumption
that all students can learn well—although not in the same way and not
necessarily on the same day), an.
Expanded opportunities (students must be permitted to demonstrate their
learning in different ways, and they must have numerous opportunities to
demonstrate the outcomes, not just one. Spady calls this “grading in pencil”).
Educators who accept the OBE philosophy begin by involving teachers,

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 282


parents, citizens, and students in establishing the outcomes students are to
demonstrate. These outcomes may be traditional—in terms of subject matter
—or may include other outcomes, such as ability to communicate in a variety
of forms, or the ability to perform life roles, such as “creators and producers.”

ENRICHMENT
 Group yourselves into 4 groups and dramatize the difference between
traditional view of education and OBE.

ASSIGNMENT
 In one half sheet of paper list all the advantages and disadvantages of
OBE as a student.

LEARNERS RESPONSIBILITY FOR LEARNING
Students’ are responsible for their own learning and progress. It is only the
learner himself/herself who can drive himself to learn, thus learning is a
personal matter. Teachers can only facilitate that learning, define the learning
outcomes to be achieved, and assist the students to achieve those outcomes.

 Common question that will guide student as they learn under the OBE
Curriculum framework:
As a student,
 What do I have to learn?
 Why do I have to learn it?
 What will I be doing while I am learning?
 How will I know that I am learning?
 Will I have any say in what I learn?
 How will I be assessed?

Lesson 2 Enhanced Teacher Education Curriculum Anchored


OBE

Pre-Discussion

Outcome-Based Education means clearly focusing and organizing


everything in an educational system around what is essential for all
students to be able to do successfully at the end of their learning
experiences. This means starting with a clear picture of what is
important for students to he able to. Then organizing curriculum,
instruction, and assessment to make sure this learning ultimately
happens.
There is a need for tertiary education to provide both professional
knowledge/skills and all-round attributes to the graduates so as to enable
them to face the diversified yet global demands of the 21st century society. 
This lesson will give you emphasizes about OBE on what is expected from the
learner to finally achieve when they complete their course rather than how
they achieved it. Outcome based education is defined as an approach to
education in which decisions about the curriculum are driven by the outcomes
the learner should display by the end of the course- professional knowledge,
skills, abilities, values and attitudes- rather than on the educational process

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 290


Lesson Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the students can:

● Understand the teacher education curriculum embrace in the philosophy, system and
classroom practices of Outcome Based Education.
● ∙ Analyzed the future teacher education curriculum in the light of Outcome Based
Education.
● ∙ Demonstrate the classroom practice of Outcome Based Education. 
Content of the Lesson

Teacher Education Curriculum Anchored on OBE


What could be a teacher education curriculum that anchors itself on
outcomes based education? What would be the features of this curriculum
that could address and future concerns of basic education? What
competencies must one acquire to be able to address these concerns?
How will these competencies enhance the attributes of a teacher
education graduate. These questions and many more shall be addressed
in the content of this lesson.

1. Desired Outcomes of the Teacher Education Program (Ideal


Graduate of Teacher Education Program Competencies)
Questions like: What kind of teacher do we desire to
graduate in the future? What kind of teacher will you be? What
qualities will you possess? 
To address these questions, it is necessary that the desired
competencies and outcomes of the teacher education curriculum be
clearly stated. These competencies will guide teacher education
programs on what product do they desire at the end of the college
education. What are the attributes of the Ideal Graduate? 
Recognizing the demand of K to 12, the framework of the
National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) and
global requirements of ASEAN 2015, a need to harmonize the
teacher competencies is very critical. With OBE, these
competencies will form the desired outcomes of the teacher
education program.  

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 291


With the current imperatives of the 21 st century, the teacher
education curriculum must emphasize teacher’s values, skills and
knowledge that are fundamental to good teaching. The roles and
responsibilities of teachers should be viewed collaboratively with
other professionals because of new job opportunities. Teachers
may not remain in the classrooms but may take on tasks as course
designers, program evaluators, training specialists, and other which
are also related to teaching.
Competencies for all Future Teachers in the Teacher Education
Curriculum
It is desired, that all graduates of any teacher education program
should have the following competencies to be ready to teach in the
classroom. Here are the suggestion based on CMO 30. S. 2004 and the
NCBTS
1. Demonstrate basic and higher levels of literacy for teaching and
learning
2. Demonstrate deep and principled understanding of the teaching and
learning process
3. Master and apply subject matter content and pedagogical principles
appropriate for teaching and learning
4. Apply a wide range of teaching related skills in curriculum
development, instructional material problem, learning assessment and
teaching delivery 5. Articulate and apply clear understanding of how
educational processes relate to political, historical, social and cultural
context
6. Facilitate learning in various classroom setting diverse learners
coming from different cultural backgrounds
7. Experience direct field and clinical activities in the teaching milieu as
an observer, teaching assistant or practice teacher.
8. Create and innovative alternative teaching approaches to improve
student learning
9. Practice professional and ethical standards for teachers anchored
for both local and global perspectives

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 292


10.Pursue continuously lifelong learning for personal and professional
growth as teachers
With the enumerated intended outcomes, the future teachers
should be aware of the outcomes they should become.
Using the National Competency-Based Standards as a frame,
as a global Filipino teacher let us analyze the intended
competencies/outcomes that are addressed by the different NCBTS
domains. (TCSE Progress Report, 2013)

Having identified the outcomes of the program, how will universities,
schools and departments form the
future teachers?

The following impacting teaching quality


and student learning to achieve the
outcomes.

1. Course or Degree Contents- To


become a teacher, a college degree is
required. A degree is made up of
courses or subjects which are clustered as general education courses,
professional education courses and major or specialized subject courses.

There are similarities as well as differences in the required number of


subjects and courses that are recommended for teachers in the
elementary and secondary level teaching.
Let us look at the examples:

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 295


Elementary Level Teaching for K to Grade 6- General
Education Courses, Professional Teacher Education
Courses, Areas of Specialization or Additional Subjects in a
Specialized Field. 
Secondary Level Teaching for Grade 7-10 (Junior
High)- General Education Courses, Professional Teacher
Education Courses, Major Discipline (English, Math,
Science, others)
Secondary Level Teaching for Grade 11-12 (Senior
High School)- General Education Course, Professional
Teacher Education Courses, Major Discipline (higher level of
contents)
There are common courses for both levels of
teaching. In the professional teacher education courses, both
will have almost the same with one or two courses that are
different to address the context of the grade level they will
teach.

Illustrative Example of Probable Subjects in the Professional


Teacher Education
For all future teachers in K to 12 (elementary and secondary levels)
A. Foundation Courses
⮚ Child and Adolescent Learners and Learning
Principles
⮚ The Teacher and Society
⮚ The Teaching Profession
⮚ School Culture and Organizational Leadership
⮚ School-Community Linkages
⮚ Foundations of Special and Inclusive Education
B. Pedagogical Content Knowledge Courses
⮚ Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching and Learning
⮚ Assessment of Learning
⮚ Technology for Teaching and Learning
⮚ The teacher and the School Curriculum

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 296


⮚ Building and Enhancing Literacy Skill Across the
Curriculum
⮚ Content and Pedagogy of the Mother Tongue
(Elementary level only) ⮚ Teaching the Major Field
Subjects (Secondary level only)
C. Major Courses for the Secondary and Selected Subject Area
Content for the Elementary
D. Experiential Learning Courses
❖ Field Study Courses (Field Observations)
❖ Practice Teaching (Classroom Observation, Teaching
Assistance, Full immersion)
These subjects are coherent and integrated with each other
to create and achieve almost seamless experience of learning to
teach. Bringing together theory into practice, faculty teaching the
content, also supervise student teachers in the field. Pedagogical
Content Courses (PCK) bring together courses that treat them
holistically.
There will also be an integration with the academic courses
and the practicum courses to allow students to learn from the
experts in the field. This will enhance collaborative relationships
with the academe and the schools.
2. Methods of Teaching and Teaching Delivery Modes

The methods
of teaching
should be
varied to
address the
different kind
of learners.
Time-tested methods as well as current and emerging strategies shall
be utilized. These should be student-centered, interactive, integrative,
and trans-formative. Courses should enhance the concept of “learning

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 297


how to learn” for future teachers. The methods of teaching should
replicated what should be used in the work place or schools.
The delivery modes may vary from the traditional face-to-face, on
line, anled experiential learning, approaches. When these modalities are
combined in one course, it is called blended approach.
The use of technology for teaching and learning in all subject areas
is encouraged so that every future teacher will develop skills to be ready to
guide future learners, most of whom are digitally skilled.
A very strong field-base experience in teacher education where a
pre-service teacher students are immersed to the actual classrooms is
necessary. This will be enable the students to gain experiential learning
through observation, eaching assistant ship and practice teaching.
Whatever methods of teaching or delivery modes to be used by the
teachers are clearly written in a course design or syllabus prepared by the
faculty and shared to the students. 

3. Assessment of Learning
Refers to strategies designed to confirm what students know, demonstrate
whether or not they have met curriculum outcomes. 
College learning shall be
assessed in similar manner as
all other means of assessment.
It has to be remembered that in
the Philippine Qualifications
Framework (PQF) there are
three levels of competencies that
all undergraduate students
should possess as evidence of
their learning outcomes.
This refers to Level 6 of the PQF which is described as :

Level 1 – Knowledge, Skills and Values


Level 2 – Application of KSV

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 298


Level 3 – Degree of Independence.

Every subject has established a set of desired learning outcomes to be


achieved, at the end of the course. These learning outcomes should be
evaluated so as to confirm if they have be achieved.

For example, in a subject Curriculum Development, the desired


course outcomes are:
At the end of the semester, the students must have:
1. Identified curriculum concepts that include the nature and purposes of
curriculum.
2. Discussed to the different models of curriculum and approaches to
curriculum design.
3. Explained curriculum development in terms of planning, implementing
and evaluating.
4. Described the different involvement of stakeholders in curriculum
implementation.
5. Utilized different evaluation procedures and tools in assessment of
learning outcomes.
6. Explained examples of curricular reforms such as K to 12 and OBE.
7. Reflected on the value of understanding curriculum development as a
teacher.
How will we know that students have arrived or achieved the learning
outcomes enumerated above? We need to assess these, with the use of
varied assessment tools and procedure as mentioned in previous
modules. The key verbs shall be used as an assessment check to
determine the success of the course. The assessment procedure and tools
should be appropriate for the learning outcomes to be measured so as to
be valid and reliable.

Summary

Teacher quality is an important factor in determining gains in student


achievement, even after accounting for prior student learning and family

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 299


background characteristics. Predictors of teacher quality have typically
included factors such as class size, certification, type of qualification,
degrees earned, or years of experience. Another, less studied, indicator of
teacher quality is the pedagogical knowledge of teachers. Pedagogical
knowledge refers to the specialized knowledge of teachers for creating
effective teaching and learning environments for all students. This project
focuses on the pedagogical knowledge base of teachers and the
knowledge dynamics in the teaching profession in order to examine their
implications for the instructional process and to derive evidence-based
suggestions for educational policy.

CURRICULAR LANDSCAPE IN THE 21ST


Module 8 CENTURY CLASSROOMS

Module Overview
Twenty-first century curriculum is the “abandonment,
finally, of textbook-driven, teacher-centered, paper and pencil
schooling”. It means a new way of understanding the concept of
“knowledge”, a new definition of the “educated person”. A new way of
designing and delivering the curriculum is required. Twenty-first

century curriculum is: “interdisciplinary, project-based, and research-
Module 8
driven.
A dramatic technological revolution ushered the 21st century.
We live in a society that has become diverse, globalized, complex and
media-saturated. Current education breaks the mold that we know of
the past. It has to be flexible, creative, challenging and complex. This
module makes students aware of the current landscape in curriculum
and the skills that the curriculum have to develop.

Module Objective

At the end of the lesson, the students can:


1.Explain the importance of 21st century classroom;
2. Identify among the different types of Cluster of Skills for the
21st Century;
3. Appreciate the value the 7 Rs of quality curriculum material.

CURRICULAR LANDSCAPE IN THE 21ST


CENTURY CLASSROOMS

Lesson 1 THE 21ST CENTURY CURRICULAR


LANDSCAPE IN THE CLASSROOMS

Pre-Discussion

The world has shrunk because of technology. Classrooms have


become virtual and global. Current students are facing emerging issues

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 316


like global warming, poverty, health issues, war, population growth and
many more. What would all of these require?

Lesson Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the students can:


1. Explain the importance of 21st century classroom;
2. Identify among the different types of Cluster of Skills for the
21st Century;
3. Understand the five frames of thinking.

Content of the Lesson

Discussion in various groups here and abroad revolve along the different
issues like:

● Globalization of economies and independence on international


markets
● Increased concerns and actions about environmental
degradation, water and energy shortages, global warming,
pandemic (HIV, Ebola, etc.)
● Nations competing for power block thus generating conflict but
gives opportunities to build alliances and cooperation
● Increased global migration and opportunities for working
overseas
● Science and technological revolution
● Knowledge economy as a generator of wealth and jobs

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 317


All of these issued need a curriculum that will address global
solutions to environmental problems, environmental sustainability,
cultural diversity, global conflicts, technology revolution, and science
breakthrough.

Thus, an integrative approach to curriculum to curriculum is


absolutely necessary. There should be unity in core academic subjects
where life and career skills are included. Curriculum includes
interdisciplinary themes, development of essential skills for modern
pedagogies and technologies.

The curriculum incorporates higher order thinking skills, multiple


intelligences, technology and multi-media and multiple literacies of the
21st century skills. The 21 st century curriculum includes innovation
skills, information and media and ICT literacy.

The curriculum for this century should inspire and challenge


both the teacher and the learner. These are some of the characteristics
of this curriculum. It is a curriculum that...
● provides appropriate knowledge, skills and values to face the
future.
● is based on knowledge drawn from research.
● is a product of consultative, collaborative development process.
● Supports excellence and equity for all learners.

Need to Develop 21st Century Skills of Learners in the Curriculum


What are the skills needed by 21st century learners in order to
cope with the curriculum? Will the curriculum likewise develop these
skills, too? According to the Singapore Ministry of Education, such
clusters of the competencies are seen in the matrix below:

Cluster of Skills for the 21st Century Specific Descriptors

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 318


Critical Thinking and Problem
Learning and Innovation Skills Solving
Creativity and Innovation
Oral and Written Communication

Flexibility and Adaptability


Initiative and Self Direction
Life Skills Teamwork and Collaboration
Social and Cross-Cultural Skills
Productivity and Accountability
Leadership and Responsibility

Valuing of Diversity
Citizenship Skills Global Awareness
Environmental Awareness
Values, Ethics and
Professionalism

On the other hand, Howard Gardner (2006) from his book five Minds of the
Future, sees that the five frames of thinking which would help in the
development of thinking skills. Each frame of thinking is attributed to the type
of mind the learner has to use in order to survive the future.

THE FINAL ACTION FOR A CURRICULUM


Lesson 2
MATERIAL: A CELEBRATION!

Pre-Discussion

To teach for understanding, teachers must be able to identify the


big ideas of their subject and know what it is they truly want students to
understand. They also must engage students in understanding

performances, that is, opportunities for actively building personal
understanding, and provide meaningful feedback on learning as it
unfolds. It is at this intersection of big ideas, understanding goals,
performances, and assessment feedback that curriculum lives, in what
I call the enacted curriculum.
Over the past fifteen years I have worked with teachers
exploring the enacted curriculum of understanding. During that time
I’ve had the opportunity to reflect on the qualities that make an activity,
a unit, a curriculum something that effectively engages students in
developing a deeper understanding. Seven common criteria emerge:
rigorous, rewarding, real, requires independence, rich in thinking,
revealing, and reflective. I present these here as guidelines for the
planning, enacting, and evaluating of a curriculum focused on
understanding.

Lesson Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the students can:


1. Knows the 7 Rs of quality curriculum material;
2. Identify among the different types of 7 Rs quality
curriculum material;
3. Understand the importance 7 Rs of quality
curriculum material.

7 Reflective Makes students more reflective in
the learning 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
What does it mean for a curriculum itself to be rigorous? For a
task or a lesson? Rather than think of difficulty, I think in terms of
affordances. A rigorous curriculum embodies and affords students
opportunities to develop a deeper understanding and not just show
what they already know. Too often curricula state carefully defined
objectives that put an unintentional cap on students’ understanding and
obscure the big ideas of the discipline, leading to superficial coverage.
A rigorous curriculum
must point the direction for learning but be open enough to extend
students’ understanding beyond a minimal outcome. When I look at an
activity a class is to do, I ask myself, “How can students further their
learning of big disciplinary ideas through this task? How does this task
launch the learning but avoid truncating it?” I also ask myself if
students can do a particular task without understanding, by merely
walking through the steps or repeating back information. If so, that
performance doesn’t offer the rigor of understanding.

Real
Disciplinary learning can be thought of as a process by which
individuals

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 328


gradually increase their participation in communities of practice. As
such, a curriculum that builds understanding must look to engage
students in authentic disciplinary activities so that students’ classroom
activities mirror the real work of adults in the field. Rather than learning
about math, science, writing, history, and so on, students must become
mathematicians, scientists, authors, and historians to build true
disciplinary understanding. When a topic is assigned to a curriculum,
we need to ask: When, where, and how does this topic arise and/or
become significant in the lives of those working in the field? What
contexts give rise to this topic and can imbue it with meaning? How can
this topic intersect with the lives of our students in a meaningful way?

Requires independence
Educational theorist Jerome Bruner defines understanding as
the ability to use and apply one’s skills in novel situations to solve
problems, make decisions, and advance new understandings. This
means that learners must necessarily be able to spot occasions for the
use of their skills and knowledge in the moment, make appropriate
choices, and follow through with application. Too often schoolwork
leaves students with few choices and strips them of opportunities to
make the decisions that meaningfully shape learning and lead to a
sense of accomplishment. Rather than engaging in deep learning,
students merely complete work.
A quality curriculum must be filled with opportunities for students
to make choices and to direct their learning. When students experience
difficulty and are at the edge of their competence, support needs to be
there, but as educators we need to be more comfortable with the
messiness and individuality of building understanding, asking
ourselves: Where does the learning become personal? What choices
were made and risks taken? Where and how did students learn from
their mistakes?

Rich in thinking

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 329


A quality curriculum asks more of students than just
memorization and replication. Students must make connections,
observe closely, ask questions, form conjectures, identify points of
view, consider alternatives, evaluate outcomes, make evidence-based
judgments, and so on. One of the most important questions educators
can ask is, “What is the thinking students will do as they progress
through this activity?” If teachers don’t know what and where the
thinking is in a lesson, it is unlikely to be little more than an activity.
Furthermore, to assess students’ developing understanding, educators
have to find ways to uncover and make the thinking of students’ visible,
which leads to the next point.

Revealing
A quality curriculum must constantly seek not only to reveal
what it is that students do and do not understand, but how they
understand it. This is the holy grail of ongoing assessment, which is not
a separate piece of the enacted curriculum but part and parcel of it.

Students do lots of work over the course of a unit, but how does
it reveal what they do and do not understand? Completion of a
worksheet might tell you a student possesses a set of facts or
mastered a skill, but it generally reveals little about understanding.
Understanding goes beyond the possession of skills and knowledge to
the use of that skills and knowledge. For example, solving for x in the
equation y = 3x + 15 is a simple application of skill, but describing a
situation for which that equation could be a possible model requires
understanding the mathematics behind the equation.

A curriculum of understanding also should reveal students’


naïve conceptions of a topic. In a coverage curriculum, these get
glossed over, leading to fragile knowledge and what Howard Gardner
has dubbed the “unschooled mind.” However, in teaching for

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 330


understanding, effort must be made to reveal these early so that they
can be explored and addressed.

Rewarding
When you walk into a classroom where students are deeply
engaged with learning, you know it right away. There is a sense of
purpose to the work they are doing. They know what they are on about.
Students can articulate what they are learning and why. This goes
beyond activity and fun. Their efforts feel directed toward a well-defined
learning goal. Talk, discussion, and debate advance progress toward
that goal. Building understanding goes beyond working for the grade. It
has its own intrinsic rewards through a sense of efficacy,
accomplishment, and relevance. The written curriculum seldom
addresses the issue of intrinsic rewards, but the enacted curriculum
must if it is to engage students in building understanding. Good
teachers know this, but curricula often lose sight of it. Rather than
prescribing a list of knowledge and skills that might be useful at some
later date, in some other place, for some other purpose, the curriculum
should do all it can to situate learning in the present, learning for now
as David Perkins calls it.

Reflective
As a learner, it can be challenging to know what one really
thinks or understands. It is even more difficult to know what others
really understand or where they are in their learning. Reflection can
help address these challenges. Reflection on one’s learning—not one’s
feelings about an activity or experience but on the actual learning itself
— helps to anchor understanding and facilitates connection making.
For example, responses to the prompt “I used to think…. But now I
think….” can reveal a lot about students’ learning. Such reflections help
make one’s thinking visible to oneself and others by revealing thought
processes and lines of reasoning. Reflection on learning forces us to

Educ-316 Curriculum and Preparation of curriculum. 331


reconsider the purposes of that learning and situate it within an
ongoing process of developing understanding.

These are the seven Rs of the quality curriculum material.


Collectively focused on the topics to be covered, skills to be mastered,
facts to be learned and outcomes to be achieved. These are the
aspects of the curriculum material that is of quality.

SUMMARY
Curriculum work generally focuses on the topics to be covered, skills
to be mastered, and facts to be learned in a particular grade level in a given
subject. These aspects of the written curriculum are certainly important as
they guide teachers’ planning, ensure some uniformity across schools, and
provide a template for formal assessments. However, as teachers know, the
written curriculum is just a shadow of the enacted curriculum. It is the enacted
curriculum, what students actually experience and how they experience it,
which ultimately shapes students’ learning.
In using curriculum as a tool to improve education, we need to
think beyond the traditional division of curriculum and instruction and
focus on the enacted curriculum. The seven criteria outlined here can
be a useful tool for that discussion and in the creation of a curriculum of
understanding.
