The Teacher and The Curriculum

1. Which is not a provision for the development of each learner in a good curriculum?
a. Extensive arrangements are made for the educational diagnosis of individual learners.
b. Self-directed, independent study is encouraged wherever possible and advisable.
c. Self-motivation and self-evaluation are learning opportunities of the school.
d. The program provides a wide range of opportunities for individuals with same
abilities needs and interests.
Rationalization: The right answer is letter d, since offering a wide range of chances for
individuals with similar talents, needs, and interests is not a provision in a decent
curriculum for the development of each learner. While it is critical to recognize and
respond to individual learners' preferences and interests, a successful curriculum should
also give opportunity for learners to gain skills and knowledge in areas where they may
not initially shine.
2. Teacher lily would like to take part in developing subject-centered curriculum because
she believes that all subjects in this type of curriculum are geared towards the holistic
development of the learners. Is her belief about the subject centered curriculum true?
a. Yes, because the subject centered curriculum focuses on the learners’ needs, interests,
and abilities.
b. No, because it is the experience-centered curriculum that emphasizes the teaching of
facts and knowledge for future use.
c. Yes, because the subject-centered curriculum involves cooperative control.
d. No, because it is experienced-centered and not the subject-centered curriculum that
emphasizes integration of habits and skills in learning the knowledge component of
subject areas.
Rationalization: Because teacher Lily's assertion that subject-centered education boosts
students' general growth is not entirely accurate, letter d is the correct response. A
subject-centered curriculum lays a heavy focus on the importance of topic understanding.
This approach to curricular organization emphasizes the subjects rather than the
students or their experiences. Overall, subject-centered curriculum may provide students
with a good foundation in certain subject areas, but they may not necessarily focus on
their entire development.

2. In the elementary level, English literature and social studies relate well. While history
is being studied, different literary pieces during the historical period is being studied as
well. What curriculum design is being shown here?
a. Separate subject design
b. Correlation design
c. Discipline design
d. Broad field design
 Rationalization: The right answer is letter c, since curriculum structure, especially the
study of literary works within a given historical time, is an example of a disciplinary
design of curriculum organization. In primary school, English literature and social studies
are linked and taught together. The discipline design is a technique of structuring the
curriculum that focuses on the subject matter or substance of certain disciplines or fields
of study. This technique separates subjects into disciplines or subject areas, in addition to
math, science, social studies, and language arts. Then, each topic is taught separately,
with little to no crossover with other subjects. Despite being two distinct disciplinary
lines or topic areas in the provided example, history and English literature are related.
3. This phase of curriculum development involves decisions, among other things, on grade
placement and sequencing of content. Which phase is this?
a. Curriculum planning
b. Curriculum evaluation
c. Curriculum organization
d. Curriculum implementation
Rationalization: The correct answer is letter c. Curriculum organization choices on grade
placement and content sequencing are made during the curriculum preparation process.
Curricular organization refers to the act of organizing and structuring curriculum
information in a logical, coherent, and audience-appropriate manner. Curriculum planners
decide which grade levels are acceptable for a specific topic and how the information
should be structured to build on prior knowledge and prepare students for future study at
this stage. For example, the developers of a math curriculum may elect to begin teaching
addition and subtraction in the early grades before progressing to multiplication and
division in the later years.
4. One example of this design of subject-centered curriculum is that which shows social
studies being combined with geography, civics, and culture, and history to comprise one
subject area. Which design is this?
a. Correlated
b. Broad fields
c. Separate subjects
d. Core subjects
Rationalization: The correct answer is b; a wide fields curriculum is an example of a
subject-centered curriculum that combines social studies, geography, civics, culture, and
history into one subject area. The "open fields curriculum design" method to curriculum
development divides disciplines into wider categories or fields based on similar concepts,
beliefs, and talents. This strategy teaches things collectively as a bigger field rather than
individually. This might lead to a more complete and integrated educational approach.
5. Ms. Ortiz, as science teacher tries to enrich the content of her lesson by identifying
related concepts in math. What pattern or organizing subjects did ms. Ortiz consider?
a. Broad field
b. Correlated
c. Core
d. Separate subject
 Rationalization: The correct answer is letter b because Ms. Ortiz's strategy of
discovering related math ideas to improve the content of her science lesson is consistent
with a linked curricular design. A curriculum design technique known as linked
curriculum design emphasizes subjects on themes or topics that share the same principles
and tenets. The content of the numerous topics taught individually is linked to and
integrated via the usage of common concepts and themes. Ms. Ortiz, for example,
enriches her science class by including relevant math concepts. This might include
providing mathematical notions related to the scientific concepts being taught, such as
measurement, data analysis, or geometric forms.
6. Which design is easy to deliver because complementary books and materials are
commercially available?
a. Experience centered design
b. Problem design
c. Process design
d. Subject-centered design
Rationalization: The right answer is letter d, since subject-centered design is a
curriculum design method that focuses on certain subjects or disciplines and arranges the
curriculum around the knowledge and abilities associated with these areas. One
advantage of subject-centered design is that it is simple to deliver because related books
and resources are widely accessible. When a curriculum is subject-centered, there are
many commercially accessible textbooks and materials that are expressly tailored to teach
that subject. Instructors may readily utilize these tools to plan classes and build teaching
techniques. Furthermore, many of these resources are already matched with certain
standards and objectives, making it easy for instructors to verify that their instruction is
compatible with the curriculum.
7. What refers to the matching between the curriculum and the test to be used to assess the
learners?
a. Alignment
b. Auditing
c. Articulation
d. Delivery
Rationalization: The right answer is letter a; alignment refers to the extent to which
various components of the educational system, including as curriculum, instruction, and
assessment, are structured to work together to accomplish the desired learning goals. In
this sense, alignment guarantees that all components of the educational system are in sync
and support the same aims and objectives. Alignment in education, in particular, refers to
the matching of the curriculum and the assessment used to evaluate the learners'
development and accomplishment. This means that the evaluation should be structured to
evaluate the same learning objectives and outcomes that the program emphasizes.
8. Ms. Mateo, a history teacher considers the element of time in arranging the content of her
lesson in world history. What way of establishing sequence in given emphasis by Ms.
Mateo?
a. Simple to complex
b. Part to whole
 c. Concrete to abstract
d. Chronological
Rationalization: The right answer is letter d, since Ms. Mateo's method to organizing the
material of her global history lecture by considering the aspect of time is compatible with
a chronological order. In education, chronological sequencing includes structuring the
information of a subject or topic depending on the order of events or their occurrence
through time. In the context of Ms. Mateo's history lesson, structuring the information
chronologically involves presenting historical events in the sequence in which they
occurred, beginning with the oldest occurrences and proceeding through time to the most
recent. This method assists pupils to get an awareness of the succession of events, their
causes and effects, and the links between them. Ms. Mateo empowers her students by
stressing a chronological order.
9. Mr. Rivera, a new teacher believes that education is a process of development and is life
itself; therefore, experiences related to the child’s need and interest should be given
primary consideration. What educational philosophy is being exhibited by Mr. Rivera?
a. Idealism
b. Reconstructionism
c. Progressivism
d. Realism
Rationalization: Mr. Rivera's opinions match with the ideology of progressivism in
education, hence the right response is letter c. Progressivism is a student-centered
educational approach that stresses experience learning and the development of critical
thinking and problem-solving abilities. Progressivists believe that education is a continual
process of progress and development, and that students should be active participants in
their own education. They say that education should be centered on the learners' needs
and interests, and that the curriculum should be tailored to foster meaningful learning
experiences that are relevant to the learners' life. Mr. Rivera's opinion that experiences
relating to the child's needs and interests should take precedence is congruent with
progressivist philosophy. 
10. A stakeholder in curriculum development, Mr. Cruz a direct supervisor and a member of
the school board has one of the following primary roles. Which one of this?
a. Support and participate in parent-school organizational activities.
b. Authorize school expenditures for curriculum development, implementation and
evaluation
c. Enact legislations to effect curriculum improvement
d. Recommend changes in curriculum
Rationalization: The exact answer is letter d, one of the key tasks of a stakeholder in
curriculum creation, such as Mr. Cruz, who is a direct supervisor and a member of the
school board, is to suggest curricular revisions. Mr. Cruz, as a member of the school
board, is in charge of monitoring the creation and execution of the curriculum in his
school district. To be effective in this job, Mr. Cruz must have a thorough awareness of
his district's requirements and goals, as well as a thorough comprehension of curricular
material and teaching techniques. He must also be able to study and evaluate the existing
 curriculum's efficacy, identify areas for improvement, and make adjustments that will
better suit the requirements of the students.
11. The schools in the 1st district plan to adopt the reading program used in the 3rd district.
What level of curriculum improvement is used?
a. Variation
b. Values orientation
c. Substitution
d. Restructuring
Rationalization: The right answer is letter c, since the replacement criteria is an
important factor in curriculum creation, particularly when schools or districts are looking
to embrace new teaching materials or programs. This entails replacing or substituting
existing curriculum content or teaching techniques with new ones that are believed to be
more effective or better suited to the requirements of the learners. The substitution
criteria is especially important in the case of the schools in the first district adopting the
reading program utilized in the third district because it allows the schools to replace their
present reading program with one that has been proved to be effective. The schools in the
first district can benefit from a program that has proven to be successful in another
district.
12. Mr. Bernardo, a curriculum consultant on economics insists that in selecting the
curriculum content, it is better that throughout the high school years, economic
geography concepts be used to recur and be repeated with depth for effective learning.
What criterion in content selection is shown here?
a. validity
b. continuity
c. significance
d. learnability
Rationalization: The right answer is letter b. The continuity criteria is an important issue
in curriculum creation, especially in ensuring that learners have a consistent and
integrated learning experience. Throughout the program, essential concepts, topics, and
skills are intentionally repeated and reinforced. The continuity criteria is especially
essential in the case of economic geography since this subject field includes a wide
variety of issues and necessitates a solid foundation of knowledge and comprehension.
Learners can gain a deeper and more sophisticated comprehension of the subject matter
by revisiting and repeating economic geography themes throughout their high school
years.
13. the Filipino learners envisioned by the department of education in the light of the k-12
curriculum is?
a. Technologically literate or logistically developed Filipino.
b. Functionally literate or logistically developed Filipino.
c. Scientifically advanced and values oriented Filipino
d. National oriented and internationally competitive Filipinos
Rationalization: The right answer is letter b, since the Department of Education
envisions Filipino learners in the K-12 curriculum as functionally literate and
internationally competitive individuals with the requisite knowledge, skills, and values to
 prosper in the twenty-first century. The capacity to read, write, speak, and understand
fundamental information and concepts in a variety of situations, including as at home, in
the community, and at work, is referred to as being "functionally literate." This means
that students should be able to grasp and use knowledge in a meaningful way in addition
to decoding words and writing simple phrases. The word "logistically developed" on the
other hand refers to the capacity to use critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-
making abilities.
14. Teacher Dominguito believes that a new respect for the child is fundamental in
curriculum. Thus, all activities in the classroom are geared towards the development of
the child- the center of the educative process. To which approach in curriculum does
teacher Dominguito adhere?
a. Learner-centered
b. Subject-centered
c. Problem-centered
d. Pragmatic
Rationalization: The right answer is letter a, since a learner-centered approach to
education stresses the role of the student in the educational process. This means that the
curriculum focuses on the needs, interests, and talents of the individual learner rather than
the topic to be taught.
15. Mrs. Manuel, the principal of Bagong Barrio elementary school invited the Brgy.
Captain in the school to solicit inputs for a new curriculum in social science which
highlights indigenous knowledge in the community. What is shown in this situation?
a. Community members as supporters of curriculum
b. Community members as curriculum resources
c. Community members as managers of curriculum
d. Community members as beneficiaries of curriculum
Rationalization: Community people may be great resources in curriculum creation
because they contribute a wealth of information and experience on local customs,
traditions, history, and cultural practices. The correct answer is letter b. They may share
firsthand stories and viewpoints on how their community operates and has grown through
time. Incorporating indigenous cultural knowledge into the curriculum can help students
gain a greater understanding and respect for their local culture and heritage. It may also
help kids and the community develop a feeling of pride and identity.
16. Teacher Bert puts emphasis on the immediate felt interests and needs of his students and
not on the anticipated needs and interests. What type of curriculum does teacher Bert
adheres?
a. Subject-centered
b. Learner-centered
c. Experienced centered
d. Culture based
Rationalization: The right answer is letter c, since instructor Bert's method of
emphasizing his pupils' immediate felt interests and needs above expected wants and
interests is an example of an experience-centered curriculum. An experience-centered
 curriculum is one that is built around the learners' everyday activities and experiences,
focusing on their immediate interests, needs, and potentials. It is predicated on the notion
that learners are active and engaged participants in the learning process, and that they
learn best when they are actively immersed in meaningful and relevant experiences.
Teacher Bert's approach is consistent with the notion of experience-centered curriculum
since he designs his classes and activities based on his pupils' immediate interests and
needs.
17. What type of curriculum divides the school day into different periods such as language
arts, social studies, science and health, arithmetic, etc.?
a. Correlated
b. Broad fields
c. Integrated
d. Separate subject
Rationalization: Separated subject curriculum is a sort of curriculum that separates the
school day into various times, each focused on a single subject such as language arts,
social studies, science and health, arithmetic, and so on. This curriculum is structured on
the idea that each topic has its own distinct body of knowledge and abilities that students
must acquire. The separated subject method claims that knowledge is best taught and
learned when it is structured into different subject areas. Each topic receives its own
attention and time, and students are expected to master the information and abilities
related with each subject area independently.
18. Which curriculum design element is taking place when Eduardo, a fourth year student
can connect the lessons he learned in a subject area to a related content in another subject
area?
a. Articulation
b. Balance
c. Continuity
d. Integration
Rationalization: Integration is a key component in curriculum development because it
helps students to link and apply lessons learned in one subject area to similar knowledge
in another topic area. Eduardo, a fourth-year student, demonstrates his ability to integrate
information and abilities from diverse subject areas and apply them in a meaningful and
relevant way when he can connect the lessons he gained in one subject area to similar
topics in another. Integration is crucial because it encourages a more holistic and
integrated approach to learning and helps students to recognize the connections between
various disciplines and areas of knowledge. This makes learning more relevant and
meaningful to pupils.
19. The following curricular changes took place in what particular period? Restore grade vii.
Double-single session was abolished and more textbooks were written by filipino authors.
a. American period
b. Philippine republic
c. Japanese occupation
d. New society
 Rationalization: The right answer is letter b. Educational changes achieved during the
Philippine Republic era included the reintroduction of Grade VII, the elimination of the
double-single session, and the use of more textbooks produced by Filipino writers. The
Philippine Republic period spans the years 1946 to 1972, when the Philippines gained
independence from the United States and became a sovereign nation. The Philippine
government made great efforts to strengthen the country's educational system during this
period, recognizing the value of education in encouraging national growth and
advancement.
20. This concept includes the sub-processes of curriculum, planning organization,
implementation, and evaluation. Which concepts is this?
a. Curriculum development
b. Curriculum assessment
c. Curriculum management
d. Curriculum and instruction.
Rationalization: The right answer is letter a, as the curriculum development
subprocesses - curriculum planning, organization, implementation, and evaluation -
comprise the notion of curriculum design or the curriculum development cycle.
Curriculum design is the systematic and iterative process of creating a curriculum that is
consistent with educational aims and objectives. It entails a sequence of interrelated and
interdependent sub-processes or phases, each of which builds on the preceding one.
21. If curriculum is the “means”, what is the “end”?
a. Strategies
b. Instruction
c. Technique
d. Approaches
Rationalization: Letter b is the right answer because, if curriculum is the "means," then
instruction is the "outcome." In other words, the aim of the curriculum is to direct and
structure instruction in order to attain specified learning objectives and goals. The
methods, tactics, and procedures used by instructors and educators to educate and assist
student learning are referred to as instruction. It entails the actual and meaningful
application of the curriculum and strives to encourage the development of information,
skills, and attitudes among learners.
22. The curriculum used during this period in Philippine history terminated the use of
English as a medium of instruction. What period was this?
a. American
b. Spanish
c. Commonwealth
d. Japanese
Rationalization: The right answer is letter d; during the Japanese occupation of the
Philippines (1942-1945), the curriculum utilized in Filipino schools effectively ended the
use of English as a medium of teaching. The Japanese government, which occupied the
Philippines at the time, mandated the use of Japanese in all schools and educational
institutions and outlawed the use of English and other foreign languages.
23. Which of the following statements about the concept of curriculum is not quite
acceptable?
a. It refers to all the experiences that both the school and the teacher provide the
students with
b. It is the set of acquired knowledge, habits, and skills.
c. It consists of everything that goes within the school.
d. It is planned action for instruction.
Rationalization: The right answer is letter c, since the statement "it comprises of
everything that goes on within the school" is not a valid curricular idea because it is too
wide and unclear. Curriculum is a far more comprehensive and specialized idea than just
everything that happens in a school. Curriculum is a planned and structured collection of
educational experiences that include material, instructional techniques, assessments, and
other aspects to meet specified learning objectives and goals. It is an intentional and
purposeful approach to education, as opposed to just a collection of everything that
occurs within a school.
24. What process is being undertaken by curriculum developers when they enrich, or modify
certain aspects of a particular program without changing its fundamental conceptions.
a. Curriculum improvement
b. Curriculum change
c. Curriculum design
d. Curriculum implementation
Rationalization: The right answer is letter b, since curriculum modification is a process
undertaken by curriculum creators to improve or expand certain areas of a curriculum
program without affecting its essential concepts. This process may include making
changes to curriculum material, instructional methodologies, assessment methods, or
other curricular aspects in order to increase their efficacy.
25. What design element establishes the vertical linkage from level to level to avoid glaring
gaps and wasteful overlaps.
a. Articulation
b. Balance
c. Scope
d. Sequence
Rationalization: The right answer is letter a. Articulation is a design feature in
curriculum creation that develops a vertical relationship from one level of education to
the next in order to guarantee that there are no gaps or needless overlaps in the
information and skills being taught. Articulation facilitates the transition from elementary
to middle school or from high school to college. It guarantees that pupils are
appropriately equipped for the next level of education and that there are no substantial
gaps or overlaps in their learning. Therefore, articulation is a key design feature in
curriculum development since it aids in the creation of a well-structured, coherent, and
successful curriculum that promotes students' learning and development.
26. What refers to the authenticity of the content selected by the curriculum developer?
a. Feasibility
 b. Learnability
c. Significance
d. Validity
Rationalization: The right answer is letter d, since validity refers to the degree to which a
test or assessment properly assesses what it is supposed to evaluate. In the context of
curriculum creation, validity refers to the authenticity and relevance of the content chosen
by the curriculum creator. As a result, it is critical for curriculum creators to carefully
analyze the validity of the content they choose to ensure that it matches with the
curriculum's learning objectives and aims and is relevant and applicable to the actual
world. By doing so, they may develop a more successful curriculum that serves the
requirements of both students and instructors.
27. What do we call the allocation of content to a definite grade capable of learning?
a. Time allotment
b. Grade placement
c. Grade level
d. Maturity level
Rationalization: Because grade placement refers to the practice of assigning pupils to a
certain grade level based on their age and/or academic aptitude, the correct answer is
letter b. This procedure is identifying which grade level is best suited to a certain student
based on their readiness to master the content and skills generally taught at that level.
Overall, grade placement and curriculum design aim to ensure that kids get appropriate
and effective training that meets their developmental requirements and prepares them for
future academic and personal success.
28. Which pattern of experience centered curriculum centers around the normal activities of
children and is based on each child’s needs, interests and potentials?
a. Child centered
b. Activity
c. Social function
d. Specific competencies
Rationalization: The right answer is letter a; the child-centered approach to curriculum
design is based on the premise that children learn best when the curriculum is tailored to
their specific needs, interests, and potentials. This strategy focuses on the child's usual
activities and stresses the child's experience and interests. The learning experiences in a
child-centered curriculum are meant to be meaningful and relevant to the child's life, so
that they may actively interact with the information and improve their understanding of
the world around them. The curriculum is not imposed on the kid; rather, it develops as a
result of the child's interests and needs, with the teacher acting as a facilitator in the
learning process.
29. Which curriculum development phase focuses on the change which will take place in
certain aspects of the curriculum without changing the fundamental conceptions?
a. Curriculum planning
b. Curriculum design
c. Curriculum improvement
 d. Curriculum evaluation
Rationalization: The right answer is letter c, since curriculum enhancement is a phase of
curriculum development that focuses on making adjustments to specific parts of the
curriculum without fundamentally affecting its core principles or aims. This phase often
entails a continual process of analyzing and updating the curriculum in response to
feedback from students, instructors, and other stakeholders. The necessity of preserving
consistency and coherence in the curriculum is recognized by focusing on gradual
modifications rather than sweeping alterations. It would be impossible to maintain a clear
and consistent vision for the curriculum if the core principles and aims of the curriculum
were to be modified every time a problem or difficulty emerged.
30. Which is not a component of curriculum designing?
a. Objective
b. Learning content
c. Learning experience
d. Diagnosis of needs.
Rationalization: In fact, determining needs is frequently the initial stage in the
curriculum building process, as it lays the groundwork for the whole program. It is
difficult to build a curriculum that is both relevant and successful without a
comprehensive grasp of the learners' needs and aspirations. As a result, it would be
erroneous to claim that needs assessment is not a component of curriculum design. It is a
fundamental component that ensures the curriculum is created to fit the individual needs
of the learners.
31. Which type of curriculum design serves as a response to society’s demand for integration
of knowledge and enables the learner to see relationships among various aspects?
a. Broad field
b. Correlated
c. Core
d. Separate subjects
Rationalization: The right answer is letter a, since wide field curriculum design is a sort
of curriculum that promotes the integration of knowledge from several subject areas to
help students acquire a comprehensive perspective of the world. It is intended to react to
society's desire for education that is relevant and meaningful to students' lives, and that
can help them relate what they learn in school to the world around them.
32. Who controls the subject centered curriculum?
a. Learner
b. Teacher
c. Parent
d. Teacher and parent
Rationalization: The right answer is letter b, the teacher is in charge of the subject-
centered curriculum, and subject-area teachers play a significant part in its design and
execution. They are responsible for ensuring that the curriculum fulfills the learning goals
 of their pupils and for selecting appropriate instructional tactics and materials to assist
learning.
33. To provide for individual differences in the classroom, how is curriculum designed?
a. Minimum learning competencies are included
b. Realistic and meaningful experience are provided
c. Some degree of flexibility is provided
d. Social skills are emphasized.
Rationalization: Curriculum is meant to accommodate individual variations in the
classroom by introducing some degree of flexibility in the educational method. This is
due to the fact that kids in a classroom have a wide range of learning requirements,
interests, and talents. A rigorous and inflexible curriculum may not be able to suit the
demands of all kids. Teachers can change their educational tactics to fit the individual
requirements of each student by giving some degree of flexibility in curriculum design.
Modifying the speed, degree of difficulty, or instructional methods to suit pupils who
may require more help or difficulties is one example.
34. To ensure success in curriculum development, which of the following specific actions
should a curriculum leader avoid?
a. Work with people not over them
b. Use your status frequently to establish discipline
c. Keep channels of communication open
d. Show that you too desire to improve
Rationalization: The right answer is letter b, since some activities as a curriculum leader
should be avoided in order to create successful leadership and excellent student results.
Using one's position to instill discipline, in particular, is ineffective for various reasons.
35. Which of the following is a reason for the continuous appraisal of the existing curriculum
in all levels?
a. New national policies in government
b. Changing needs and conditions of society
c. Economic status of the people
d. Political trust of the country
Rationalization: The correct answer is letter b; changing societal demands and conditions
are a major cause for constant evaluation of the present curriculum at all levels. This is
due to the fact that society is always evolving and changing, and as a result, learners'
educational requirements and expectations vary. When new technology, social and
economic trends, and global concerns develop, educators must modify their curricula to
guarantee that students are equipped for the future's challenges and possibilities. Schools,
for example, may need to place a larger focus on building cross-cultural competences and
global citizenship skills as the globe becomes increasingly linked and globalized.
36. Which of the following best defines curriculum development?
a. The total mental phenomena directly received at any given time
 b. The planning of learning opportunities intended to bring about certain desired
changes in pupils and the assessment of the extent to which these changes have taken
place.
c. A continuous cycle of activities in which all elements of curriculum are considered.
d. Education is aiding each child to be socially creative individuals.
Rationalization: The right answer is letter b, since curriculum development includes the
creation of learning opportunities intended to bring about specific desirable changes in
children, as well as the assessment of the amount to which these changes have occurred.
This is due to the fact that curriculum development is a systematic process of planning
and executing educational programs with the purpose of promoting specified learning
outcomes or goals. Overall, learning opportunity planning and assessment are critical
components of curriculum creation because they assist guarantee that educational
programs are effective in promoting certain learning outcomes or goals, and that students
can demonstrate their learning and progress over time.
37. To build a sense of pride among filipino youth, which should be done in the curriculum?
a. Re-study our history and stress on our achievements as a people
b. Re-study our history from the perspective of our colonizers
c. Replace the study of folklore and myths with technical subjects
d. Set aside the study of local history
Rationalization: The right answer is letter a, since one strategy to instilling pride in
Filipino youngsters is to re-study our past and emphasize our successes as a people.
Students can acquire a stronger feeling of respect and pride for their nation and its people
by stressing the Philippines' rich history and culture. The curriculum can assist foster a
stronger sense of national identity and promote a more positive attitude on the future
among Filipino youth by highlighting the good parts of Philippine history and culture and
encouraging pupils to take pride in their country and fellow Filipinos.
38. What do you call the curriculum when the teacher puts into action all the different
planned activities in classroom?
a. Recommended curriculum
b. Written curriculum
c. Taught curriculum
d. Supported curriculum
Rationalization: The right answer is letter c, since the curriculum that the instructor
implements in the classroom is commonly referred to as the taught curriculum. The actual
curriculum taught to students by the instructor, which may differ from the planned
curriculum owing to factors such as classroom dynamics, teacher preferences, and
student requirements. The taught curriculum is the execution of the planned curriculum in
the classroom, and it encompasses all of the many activities and experiences that students
have while learning. This can involve, among other things, lectures, debates, hands-on
exercises, and examinations.
39. Which statement about the subject-centered curriculum is not true?
a. There is a high level of cooperative interaction
b. It covers much content in a short period of time
 c. The teacher has full control of the classroom activities
d. The main task is mastery of learning
Rationalization: The right answer is letter a, since the phrase "There is a high amount of
cooperative engagement" is not often linked with a subject-centered curriculum. The
focus of a subject-centered curriculum is on mastery of specific subject content, and
training is provided independently for each subject area. This method to curriculum
design frequently includes a teacher-centered approach to learning, in which the
instructor is the primary source of knowledge and students are expected to learn via direct
teaching and individual practice.
40. Schools divide the school hours to different subjects such as reading, grammar, literature,
math, science, history and geography. What curriculum design is referred here?
a. Problem-centered
b. Learner-centered
c. Subject-centered
d. Culture-based
Rationalization: The right answer is letter c, and the curriculum design in this case is
subject-centered. The structure of information in a subject-centered curriculum is based
on certain academic topics or disciplines such as reading, arithmetic, science, history, and
geography. The curriculum is separated into several disciplines, and teaching for each
subject area is offered independently. The mastery of specific subject content and the
development of core abilities within each topic are the emphasis of subject-centered
curriculum design. This curriculum design method is frequently connected with
conventional modes of education that stress academic subject knowledge and mastery of
core skills.
41. Which is not a description of the learner-centered curriculum?
a. Emphasis is on the total growth and development of the learners
b. Controlled and cooperatively directed by learners, teachers and parents
c. Education is a means to develop socially creative individual
d. Emphasis upon facts and knowledge for future use.
Rationalization: The correct answer is letter d, because a learner-centered curriculum
places the learner at the center of the educational experience, emphasizing their
individual needs, interests, and experiences, whereas an emphasis on facts and knowledge
for future use is not a description of a learner-centered curriculum. An emphasis on facts
and knowledge for future use, on the other hand, reflects a more conventional or teacher-
centered approach to education, in which the emphasis is on conveying information and
knowledge from the instructor to the student. This technique does not always take into
consideration the learner's unique requirements and interests, and it may be less effective
in encouraging long-term learning and retention.
42. The k-12 curriculum is otherwise called as________.
a. 2002 basic education curriculum
b. Revitalized basic education curriculum
c. Enhanced basic education curriculum
d. Extended basic education curriculum
 Rationalization: Letter c is the right answer; the K-12 curriculum is also known as the
Expanded Basic Education Curriculum. Its term symbolizes the considerable changes and
improvements made to the Philippine basic education system, notably in curriculum
design and educational standards. Prior to the adoption of the Expanded Basic Education
Curriculum, the Philippines' basic education system only lasted 10 years, from
elementary school through high school. With the inclusion of two years of senior high
school, the K-12 curriculum was created to extend the basic education system to twelve
years.
43. What refers to an individual or group of individuals who have a direct and indirect
influence in curriculum development?
a. Stockholders
b. Stakeholders
c. Promoters
d. Incorporators
Rationalization: Because the term "stakeholders" refers to persons or groups who have a
direct or indirect interest or influence in the creation of a curriculum, the correct answer
is letter b. Individuals such as educators, students, parents, community members,
policymakers, and others who may be influenced by or have a vested interest in the
curriculum are included. Stakeholders play an important role in curriculum development
because they give input and feedback that helps define the program's content and design.
For example, professionals may offer feedback on the most successful instructional
tactics and resources for teaching a certain topic, but parents may provide feedback on
the curriculum's relevance and suitability for their children.
44. What refers to the appropriateness of the content in the light of the particular students
who are to experience the curriculum?
a. Significance
b. Validity
c. Interests
d. Learnability
Rationalization: The right answer is letter d, since the appropriateness of the content in
light of the specific children who will encounter the program corresponds to the
learnability feature. Learnability refers to how relevant and accessible a curriculum's
content is to the learners who will be experiencing it. A solid curriculum should be
constructed with the learners' needs, interests, and skills in mind. This includes aspects
including the learners' past knowledge and experiences, learning styles, and cultural
backgrounds.
45. Which of the following statements is not acceptable?
a. Instruction is the actual engagement of learners in the planned learning activities
b. Curriculum determines what assessment should be done, and how to do it
c. Instruction requires teachers to use a variety of action to accomplish a variety of
functions.
d. Assessment establishes what is to be accomplished on teaching and learning.
 Rationalization: The right answer is letter d, since the phrase "Assessment sets what is to
be completed in teaching and learning" is not totally appropriate because it implies that
assessment alone decides the aims and objectives of teaching and learning. While
evaluation is an important part of teaching and learning, it is not the sole aspect that
decides what is to be completed. Objectives and goals are often set based on a variety of
criteria such as curricular requirements, student needs, and instructional best practices.
Assessment is an important tool for monitoring student progress and evaluating the
quality of training, but it should not be the primary determinant of what is to be
completed. Instead, goals and objectives should be defined based on a thorough grasp of
the learning context and the needs of individual learners.
46. Which characteristics of a good curriculum highlights the psychological nature of the
learner?
a. Provisions are made for the smooth transition and continuing achievement of pupils.
b. Curriculum plans in areas which extend over several years are developed vertically
c. Classroom practices give attention to the maturity and learning problems of each
pupil.
d. Cooperative planning and teaching provide for exchange of information about
pupil’s learning experiences.
Rationalization: The right answer is letter c, since a strong curriculum that emphasizes
the psychological aspect of the learner takes into account individual variances in student
maturity and learning challenges. This is reflected in the response, "Classroom practices
pay attention to each pupil's maturity and learning problems." In order to develop an
effective curriculum, educators must consider the psychological nature of the learner,
including factors such as cognitive development, learning styles, and individual
differences in maturity and learning problems. Classroom strategies that take these
aspects into consideration can assist to guarantee that all students can interact with the
subject and reach their full potential.
47. Objectives must be evaluated in the light of practical considerations, including teacher
competence, availability of instructional materials, time allotment, etc. what
characteristics of educational objective is defined by the aforementioned statement?
a. Comprehension
b. Attainability
c. Consistency
d. Feasibility
Rationalization: The right answer is letter d, and the above phrase represents the
feasibility feature in educational aims. The practical aspects that must be taken into
account while determining educational objectives, such as teacher competency,
availability of instructional materials, time allocation, and other resources, are referred to
as feasibility. The feasibility of educational objectives is crucial because it guarantees
that they are practical and feasible given the restrictions of the learning environment.
Unattainable goals may be excessively ambitious or need resources that are not
accessible, resulting in frustration for both teachers and pupils.
48. “knowledge is true if it is workable”. What philosophical foundation supports these
statements?
 a. Idealism
b. Realism
c. Pragmatism
d. Essentialism
Rationalization: The right answer is letter c, and the phrase "knowledge is true if it is
practicable" is an example of pragmatism since it embodies the core principle of
pragmatic philosophy, which holds that the worth of an idea or belief is reflected in its
practical utility or workability. Truth, according to pragmatism, is a result of experience
and activity rather than an absolute or set idea. Concepts or beliefs are true to the extent
that they can be implemented and yield good results. In other words, a concept or belief is
true if it can be used successfully to solve problems or achieve goals in a certain
situation. The emphasis on practicality and efficacy in establishing truth is consistent
with the pragmatic philosophy's emphasis on empirical observation and experimentation.
Rather than relying on abstract or theoretical principles, pragmatists believe that ideas
and beliefs should be evaluated based on their real-world consequences and the results
they produce.
49. As a member of the curriculum committee, your chief concerns is to give the child
freedom to choose what to learn and believe, as you allow them to set their own identities
and standards. What philosophy will you consider?
a. Existentialism
b. Realism
c. Idealism
d. Pragmatism

Rationalization: The right answer is letter a, since existentialism is a philosophical

movement that emphasizes human responsibility, freedom, and choice. Existentialism is
largely concerned with the concerns of how we should spend our lives and what gives
them meaning. Existentialists argue that we must accept that existence has no inherent
meaning or purpose and that each person is responsible for finding meaning in their own
lives. This suggests that we have the freedom to select our own acts and the direction of
our lives, but that we must also assume responsibility for those choices and the outcomes.
Because we are forced to confront the uncertainty and impermanence of our existence,
existentialism is typically accompanied by emotions of dread.
