CHAPTER 1

Activity 1. Write a personal definition of curriculum. Explain your definition

- Curriculum is a subject comprising a course of study in a school or college used

by the professors and college students. It is also know as a guideline for all
educators as to what is essential for teaching and learning, so that every student
has access to rigorous academic experiences. The curriculum acts as the main
source of information for all educators in order to guarantee that every student has
access to rigorous educational learning. Additionally, it describes the specific
academic subjects and courses that are covered in schools and other educational
institutions for a certain program or course. On the other side, curriculum is a
process that makes an effort to improve the curriculum using various techniques.

Activity 2. Browse the internet and check some examples of the different types of
curriculum. List down your examples.

- There are 7 types of curriculum;

 RECOMMENDED CURRICULUM where The Ministry of
Education, the Commission on Higher Education, or any professional
organization can recommend and implement a curriculum. For
example, in the Philippines, the curriculum being implemented by the
Department of Education (DepEd) or the Commission on Higher
Education (CHEd) is an example of a recommended curriculum;
 WRITTEN CURRICULUM where a lesson plan or syllabus written
by teachers. Another example is the one written by curriculum experts
with the help of subject teachers. This kind of written curriculum
needs to be pilot tested or tried out in sample schools to determine its
effectiveness;
 TAUGHT CURRICULUM is about the implementation of the
written curriculum. Whatever is being taught or an activity being done
in the classroom is a taught curriculum. So, when teachers give a
lecture, initiate group work, or ask students to do a laboratory
experiment with the their guidance, the taught curriculum is
demonstrated. This curriculum contains different teaching and learning
styles to address the students’ needs and interests;
  SUPPORTED CURRICULUM is about the implementation of the
written curriculum. Whatever is being taught or activity being done in
the classroom is a taught curriculum. So, when teachers give a lecture,
initiate group work, or ask students to do a laboratory experiment with
their guidance, the taught curriculum is demonstrated. This curriculum
contains different teaching styles and learning styles to address the
students’ needs and interests;
 ASSESSED CURRICULUM is when students take a quiz or the mid-
term and final exams, these evaluations are the so-called assessed
curriculum. Teachers may use the pencil and paper tests and authentic
assessments like portfolio and performance-based assessments to know
if the students are progressing or not; and
 LEARNED CURRICULUM where refers to the unplanned or
unintended curriculum but plays a vital role in learning. It consists of
norms, values, and procedures. See the three-minute video below for
more details.

Activity 3. Examine a philosophy of a particular curriculum. Analyze what curriculum

conception it is leaning to.

- The philosophy of K-12 Curriculum system aims to improve Filipino students'

skills in mathematics, science, and linguistics to further exhibit competence in the
global job market. With the new curriculum, the Department of Education
promises to offer higher quality education through the strands. The conception of
the said curriculum which is the K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12
years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High
School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for
mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates
for tertiary education
Activity 4. What are the different elements of a curriculum? How does each element
contribute in creating a curriculum?

- There are 4 elements of a curriculum: Curriculum Intent, Contents,

Learning Experiences, and Evaluation. These four basic elements of
curriculum are essential and interrelated to each other. Aims, goals, and
objectives can be simplified as “what is to be done”; the subject
matter/content is “what subject matter is to be included”; the learning
experiences is “what instructional strategies, resources and activities will be
employed”; while curriculum evaluation is “what methods and instruments
will be used to assess the results of the curriculum”.
1. Curriculum Intent contributes in creating curriculum by curriculum
developers wish to take as a result of participating in the curriculum. It
includes the aims, goals, and objectives found in any curriculum
document.
2. Contents may include values, concepts, or skills that are important for
learners to learn that contributes in creating curriculum that contributes
in creating curriculum.
3. Learning Experiences contributes in creating curriculum by
including all instructional strategies that are useful for the
implementation of the curriculum. These may appear in the form of
activities, Curriculum Intent Content Learning Experiences
Evaluation strategies, methods, or approaches that are useful in
implementing the curriculum in teaching.
4. Evaluation contributes in creating curriculum by including the
different ways and tools used for evaluating whether or not the
curriculum intents were realized. Evaluation tools are also used to
evaluate the performance of the learners after they have undergone
the curriculum.
