Observing a Curriculum in a Classroom

Watch a video of the class available on various platforms and observed how it is conducted.

Type of Curriculum What curricula are present in the classroom

from your observation?
1. Recommend It is a traditional curriculum, a structured
and balanced approach, covering the core
subjects such as mathematics, science, and
English.
2. Written There is a comprehensive document seen
in the video which definitely has the outline
of the specific skills and concepts the
teacher needed to teach.
3. Taught The teacher follows the written curriculum
by presenting lessons on a television, using
a PowerPoint presentation. She also
organized a group activity to enhance
understanding, making the discussion
interactive and engaging.
4. Supported Students used textbooks in the video which
helped them with the discussion and their
quiz at the end of the lesson.
5. Assessed A written quiz was conducted, covering the
content the teacher had discussed and was
administered in a traditional pen-and-paper
format.
6. Learned It is evident in the video how engaging the
students were during the discussion proper
as they were able to share their
interpretations, while some of them were
taking notes.
7. Hidden I’ve observed that most of the girls in the
classroom were wearing headbands,
earrings, and more accessories than usual
which shows how students may pick up on
societal expectations without explicit
instruction.

Assessment 2 (Self Reflect)

Is it necessary for teachers to learn about school curriculum? Why? In not more than
150 words, write your answer on the space provided below.
Yes, it is necessary for teachers to have a good understanding of the school curriculum. This
is because the curriculum acts as a guide for delivering education. Teachers must be familiar
with the curriculum to make sure that their lesson plans align with the learning objectives
and ensure that students acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. A comprehensive
knowledge of the curriculum enables teachers to create engaging and relevant lessons,
tailor instruction to meet the diverse needs of students, and contribute to the overall
effectiveness of education. Additionally, it helps teachers assess and adapt their teaching
methods to align with curriculum goals, which in turn fosters a cohesive and purposeful
learning experience for students. In short, teacher proficiency in the school curriculum is
essential for successful and impactful classroom instruction.
