Chapter 2: CURRICULUM DESIGN
2. Try to study and analyze the pictures below and write your personal definition of
curriculum.
ASSESS
No,, while it is possible to teach without a curriculum, it is not possible to manage a school without
one. How would you plan your assessment if there was no curriculum or objectives? Will this
evaluation be accurate and fair? This is the closest I can get to "without a curriculum." Nothing of
utility. You may interpret curricula differently than I do. Curriculum does not have to be a state-
mandated list of everything we should teach. It could just be an agreed-upon list of key points that
every student should be aware of. A home school family may never establish their own curriculum,
but if they are concerned about their child's well-being and teaching them what they need to know,
that youngster will be fine if he or she has completed all of the required core subjects and has
developed critical thinking skills. However, this will be due to the fact that their "plan" was really an
informal curriculum.
2. How important is the curriculum for school managers, teachers, and students?
a. School Managers, The school system is based on a curriculum, and it can never function without
recognizing the value of curriculum. A school cannot function properly without a well-designed
curriculum. Because there would be no clear understanding of what students studying at the school
would be taught. Whatever the purpose of teaching a topic is, the administration must have a clear
vision of what they want the pupils to be capable of by the time they graduate from that institution. On
the other side, if the curriculum is too tough for the majority of students. The administration must then
rewrite the syllabus to make it less tough.
b. Teachers, The curriculum of a school informs teachers on the skills that must be taught at each
grade level in order to prepare pupils for postsecondary education or employment. Understanding the
big picture aids teachers in aligning their own learning objectives with the school's curriculum.
Without a curriculum, teachers would have no way of knowing if pupils are laying a good basis for
future learning.
c. Students, A curriculum are a list of courses and tasks that students must complete in order to master
a subject and achieve a diploma or degree. If students understand why specific courses are taught, they
may be more motivated to learn.
LESSON 3 – MAJOR FOUNDATIONS OF CURRICULUM
ASSESS
1. Identify which among the foundations of curriculum have influenced what you
have learned in school as a college student?
Psychological Foundations of Curriculum
2. How will the thinking of Howard Gardner influence your teaching practice in the
future?
For me Psychological foundation of curriculum have influenced me as a
college student where in learning and teaching process is the most
significant and the main goal of the study. It’s important that learning can
be a way that student can easy to think what will be their plan in the
future. Curriculum for a student is very important for them to learn in a
different way, knowing the important of curriculum is very important for
us to establish our learning.
3. Do you agree with John Dewey’s principle? Defend your answer.
Yes, Dewey state that one's ability to learn is influenced by one's past,
present, and future experiences. 'Education is a social process,' he once
said. Education is a means of progress. Education is not merely a means of
preparing for life; it is life itself.' that one's current experiences are a direct
outcome of how one's past experiences interact with and influence one's
current position
CHAPTER 2: CURRICULUM DESIGN
ASSESS
LESSON 1 – PRINCIPLES AND DIMENSIONS OF CURRICULUM DESIGN
1. How would you know that there is an impact of curriculum design in teaching and learning? Will the
varied designs make a difference in the way you teach or the way you learn? Defend your answer.
2. Assume that you are a curriculum maker. What are the things you need to consider in designing your
curriculum?
Designing a curriculum isn’t easy. It is a complicated process that needs to be carefully
thought through and involves much strategic decision making.
Discuss and define your curriculum principles, vision and intentions with all stakeholders.
Consider what your pupils will experience as they move through school and map these out for
each year group. Link your entitlement to your curriculum principles, where possible.
You should underpin each subject scheme with a sequenced skills and
knowledge framework. You can do this by breaking the national curriculum programmes
of study into progressive steps that provide subject endpoints. The aim is to help children
build a deep body of knowledge that enables them to perform increasingly complex skills.
Make the planning process easy so that teachers can create, adapt, and share plans with
others. Ideally, ensure that you have integrated, quick assessment for learning methods in
place to support teachers as they deliver the curriculum.
Create or source high-quality resources to support your lessons, rather than the other way
around. Keep a school wide overview of resources to avoid unnecessary repetition and
ensure that content builds in complexity.
Decide what works well and where there is room for improvement. Check that monitoring subject
coverage and progression and assessment for learning are live, integral parts of your
curriculum.
3. Make a realization on the impact of the different dimensions of curriculum design to its
implementation. Complete the table below.
Continuity Continuity is the repetition of important concepts within the curriculum vertically or over
time. This ensures that the students develop mastery of the important concept or idea. A
teacher shares an idea one way. In the future, they will return to the idea and add another
layer of complexity to it. This process is repeated over and over again until the entire
concept is explained to the students.
Integration Allow students to have a deeper understanding of the course subject matter and how to
apply the material that they have learned in the classroom to a real-world situation. This
ultimately helps prepare them for their future studies, career, and life in general.
Articulation Within the curricular core areas, development of learning objectives from grade level to
grade level, from course to course.
Balance It is designed so that the curriculum structure is specific enough to ensure similar
implementation by district teachers while being general enough so that teachers have the
freedom to use the curriculum to meet the needs of their classes.
Sequence This includes plans and materials for learning experiences to support and extend
children's learning at various levels of development. A sequence of learning experiences
that progress from simple to more complex, with the goal of supporting children as they
move through the developmental progressions.
Scope To be effective, curricula must be comprehensive in scope and provide learning
experiences specifically designed to support children at various levels of development. It
helps staff look ahead to see where their development is going, and intentionally scaffold
their learning.
CHAPTER 2 LESSON 2 – TYPES OF CURRICULUM OPERATING IN SCHOOLS
ASSESS
1. Why is it necessary for teachers to learn about school curriculum and how each type is utilized
inside the classroom?
Yes, it is critical for teachers to grasp and comprehend the school's curriculum. Every instructor
has a unique set of skills and experiences. A school curriculum will always assist the instructor in
better adjusting to their surroundings. A teacher must recognize that curriculum is material, but it
comes alive for pupils when it is contextualized. Teachers' job in the curriculum is to assist
students in developing a positive relationship with the subject and the overall learning process.
Active learning will improve curriculum concentration and retention, resulting in a more
engaging learning environment. Teachers must build lessons that include simulations,
experiments, case studies and activities to deliver curriculum
2. Explain how each curriculum is applied inside the classroom.
Curriculum serves as a teacher's guidance in dealing with a variety of students, and without it, a
teacher's purpose is not measurable. My reaction is that I will comprehend and analyze the
modifications that have been made. As a prospective teacher, it is my responsibility to manage
my pupils in a creative manner. Even if everything changes, no one can replace a teacher because
a teacher is ALWAYS a teacher.
ASESS
1. In your own opinion, why are the stakeholders very important in implementing
curriculum?
Stakeholders are individuals or institutions that are interested in the school
curriculum. Their interests vary in degree and complexity. They get involved in
many ways in the implementation, because the curriculum affects them directly or
indirectly. These stakeholders shape the school curriculum implementation.
2. How way can the positive involvement of stakeholders in curriculum implementation
become successful in terms of curriculum change and development?
Different stakeholders, whether they are faculty, community members, or family,
can significantly improve children's educational environments if they collaborate
and share their ideas, goals, and plans.

ASSESS
Assume the role of an expert authorized to craft a curriculum. What major recommendations are
you going to propose in the present course offerings in your degree program that address the
present dilemma on COVID 19 pandemic?
Give pass/fail with a grade option for students who want it.
Pass/fail takes into account the fact that students’ lives are disrupted. Some students still do
not have all of their belongings, not to mention books. An optional grade choice gives
students who want to receive a grade the ability to do so. Universities may decide to make
students choose whether to receive a grade now or at the end of the semester. Both decision
points have pros and cons.
3. What is the difference between summative and formative evaluation? Cite examples for each.
Formative evaluation is a method of judging the worth of a program while the program activities are
in progress. This type focuses on the process. Its main objective is to determine deficiencies so that
the appropriate interventions can be done. (e.g. Weekly quizzes)
Summative evaluation is method of judging the worth of a program at the end of the program of
activities. The focus is on the result. Determines the effectiveness of the program or activity based on
its avowed purpose. (e.g. Final presentation or exam )
LESSON 2 – CRITERIA FOR CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT
ASSESS
Direction: Be able to answer the following. Write your answer in 2 pages’ short size
Bondpaper.
What are the criteria for writing effective goals and objectives? Give the guidelines
for each criterion. Cite examples.
a. Why are goals and objectives formulated?
During the planning phase, goals and objectives help define and clarify
what it is that you are trying to accomplish. During implementation,
goals and objectives serve as guides to help you make
instructional decisions.
b. What should be included when formulating goals and objectives?
Each objective should include: The specific health or nutrition indicator
or outcome to be measured, the target group in which it will be
measured, and. The population or geographic area in which the survey
will be conducted.
c. What do you mean by instruction? What about curriculum criteria?
Curriculum criteria are guidelines on standard for curriculum decision
making. The objectives of the curriculum or teaching plan are the most
important curriculum criteria, since they should be used in selecting
learning experiences and in evaluating learning achievement.
The definition of instruction is the act of educating, giving the steps that
must be followed or an order.(e.g. someone giving another person
detailed directions to the library)

ASSESS
Direction: Be able to answer the following. Write your answer on the space provided.
1. What is meant of Outcomes-Based Education?
Outcome-based Education (OBE) means focusing and organising a school's
entire programs and instructional efforts around the clearly defined outcomes
we want all students to demonstrate when they leave school. It is NOT a
program, a package, a technique, a fad, a quick-fix, a panacea, a miracle or an
event. It is transformational way of doing business in education."
2. What are the four essential principles of OBE? Discuss each briefly.
Designing down, It means that the curriculum design must start with a clear
definition of the intended outcomes that students are to achieve by the end of
the program. Once this has been done, all instructional decisions are then made
to ensure achieve this desired end result.
High expectations, It means that teachers should establish high, challenging
standards of performance in order to encourage students to engage deeply in
what they are learning. Helping students to achieve high standards is linked
very closely with the idea that successful learning promotes more successful
learning.
Expanded opportunities, Teachers must strive to provide expanded
opportunities for all students. This principle is based on the idea that not all
learners can learn the same thing in the same way and in the same time.
However, most students can achieve high standards if they are given
LESSON 2– THE ENHANCED BASIC EDUCATION ACT OF 2013
(K TO 12)
ASSESS
Reflect on the statement “The K to 12 curriculums prepares the students for the world of work,
middle level skills development, and entrepreneurship and college education.” Being a product of this
curriculum, which of these areas are you prepared? Give your comment.
As for me as a college student, the area I have prepared COLLEGE EDUCATION, One of
the most interesting aspects of my courses this past summer and fall were that I performed as
well or better than in past semesters.
I know that students in K-12 Education had less positive learning outcomes, but graduate
professional education has a different dynamic. I think students were grateful for the sense of
structure and purpose they found in continuing their education, and the classes were in some
way a method of breaking up the monotony of pandemic life. Education provides people with
a sense of normalcy and forward progress even during the horrific time we are now enduring.
The socialization aspects of higher education are very important, and its absence is very real
and a huge cost of the pandemic. We have learned that for young children, the need for face-
to-face education is far greater than for older students. It is not trivial for graduate students,
but for a few semesters, we can operate this way
