Methods/Strategies The teacher just simply
discussed the lesson and
ask her students some
questions.
Aside from discussing, I don’t
see any methods used in this
lesson plan because the
teacher just simply discussed
the lesson to her students. She
didn’t let her students to
engage their selves in the
lesson by giving some
activities. Sometimes, she ask
her students about the lesson.
They said that teacher should
be creative and dynamic

how she manage her class

Answers briefly:

1. Which one principle of Oliva is reflected in the Lesson Plan? Explain briefly.
 Curriculum development is more effective when it follows a systematic
process. On this lesson plan, this principle of Oliva is reflected in a way
that the lesson plan contain almost everything that needed such as
desired outcomes, subject matter, context complimented with
reference, needed materials and resources and evaluation procedures
but there are some lackings regarding the method used by the teacher.
2. If you were to improve the design, what will you add, or subtract or modify?
Write your re-design suggestion.
 If I were to improve the design, maybe I will add some methods because
I noticed that the teacher simply discussed the lesson. I will provide
some competitive activities because I believe that some students like
competition. This will make the students engage themselves in the
lesson. Also , the teacher should make sure that there is an interaction
between her and the students.

develop.

3. Should curriculum be signed only by one person? No

No man is an island. I

one person because
how would that
curriculum be effective
if it only signed by one
person.

Any change in
curriculum should

Self-Reflect

Instructions: Provide answers to the incomplete sentences. After reading and discussing with my
classmates, this lesson on fundamental of curriculum designing or crafting a curriculum.

1. I realize that
In making or designing new curriculum, the teacher should consider the available resources in
the environment. She should also be a keen observant in her surrounding in order to be
aware of the changes in the current situation and new knowledge so that she will able to
design curriculum that respond to that changes. I also realized that teacher should be creative
and flexible in order to adapt easily in the changing situation and she should have
competency in designing multiple methods in teaching as well as in crafting curriculum.

2. I feel that
Designing curriculum should be planned carefully and spend more time and efforts doing
some evaluation if it is effective and fit to the changing environment. I also felt that in
changing curriculum, one should prioritize the factors that needed more improvement and
development in order to address the changing learning system.

3. I need to
Be aware of my surroundings so that i will know how to deal with updated changes that may
happen in the future. And as a future curriculum designer, I need to be flexible to adapt
changes easily and I also need to learn more to be competent and effective individual.
