Define
1. Recommended curriculum
The curriculum itself was sourced directed from a specific institution for standards
achievement purposes. In the Philippines, these institutions include the Department of
Education (DepEd), Technical-Vocational Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Its purpose is to standardize the curriculum so there
would be an equivalent and same path each learning institutions may adapt in accordance to
the recommended curriculum.
2. Written curriculum -teacher’s lesson plan based on recommended curriculum from books and
other references, for example
These includes books, paintings, and those which were written down, printed, recorded, or
preserved materials which the learners and facilitators of learning may use to deliver the
learning outcome.
3. Taught curriculum
Putting into life the written/planned/recommended curriculum. The end of the day, it’s the
reality that is being implemented. It largely depends on how the teacher then would deliver it
with the teaching style, method, or technique. And also the learning style of the students.
4. Supported curriculum
Support materials that teachers need to facilitate learning and make it more meaningful.
Printed such as books, non-printed such as ppt/movies, etc. or venues/ environment that
would aid in the learning process, authentic learning/experiences.
5. Assessed curriculum
The existing curriculum as implemented must be evaluated to see whether the
implementation of it has succeeded and identify further improvements and respond to the
needs of the present situation. In every learning session conducted by the teacher
assessments are being done to see the progress of the learners and the effectivity and
efficiency of the learning process. In this way, the curriculum is assessed.
6. Hidden curriculum
This type of curriculum is not explicitly planned but is foresighted alongside with the
recommended and other types of curriculum. Hidden curriculum impacts the behavior of the
learner. Factors include the environment where the learner is such as the location, situation,
pressures, family, and others factors. In order to bring them to surface, the teacher must be
sensitive enough to include them during the discussion process.
Explain the following. The teacher as a curricularist:
1. Know the curriculum
Mastery of the subject content is an essential need the teacher must have because learning
always begins in knowing. The teacher must be knowledgeable enough of the curriculum to be
implemented, its content and pedagogy. The teacher as a curricularist must be a knower of
the curriculum.
2. Writes – interpret demand, content, topic,a dn subject matter -> syllabus
The teacher as a curricularist writes a lot. From the recording of the knowledge concepts, list
of students and current learning status, content of learning, assessments, evaluations,
upcoming learning plans, and the like, contains important information about and for the
learners. The teacher as a curricularist is a writer.
3. Plans – guide, considereing learing style of students, desired learning outcome, lesson plan and
materials
There must be a plan for anything to be successful and so the objectives be achieved.
Significantly, it should be an essential role of the teacher to make a regular plan for the
implementation of the curriculum so to guide the learners and the learning process and
observe the learning outcomes. A lot of factors are to be considered and the teacher as a
curricularist must be a good curriculum planner to put into realization the objectives set
during the learning process.
4. Initiates – obliged to implement but
Although there is the recommended curriculum set by the educational institutions such as
DepEd, CHED, or TESDA that are obliged to be implemented by the teacher, there might be
circumstances as well where the present condition of the learners and the learning
environment finds difficulty or limitations due to understandable reasons, the teacher as a
curricularist must try something that could be relevant as a supplement to the
recommendations set by those educational institutions.
5. Innovates
Creativity drives the learner and the learning process more effective and more efficient,
therefore the teacher as a curricularist must be a dynamic facilitator of learning. Innovating,
improving, or making it much better than the recommended from the content, pedagogy,
strategies, materials, time, and evaluation is a very important characteristic a teacher must
employ for a lifelong learning.
