Or What answers did I get from my
interview?
The teacher followed the K-12 curriculum
guide for the subject of math. The lesson she
presented is also based on the MELCS (Most
Essential Learning Competencies)
The teacher does not have a printed copy of
the K-12 Curriculum Guide or the MELCS
with her in class, but she does have a paper
copy of her weekly learning plan.
The teacher demonstrates excellence in
curricular integration and instructional
practice. The teacher's in-depth mastery of the
curriculum, along with effective teaching
practices, generates a dynamic learning
environment in which students are actively
engaged, challenged, and encouraged in their
academic development.
The teacher effectively uses the
supported curriculum to foster a dynamic and
inclusive learning environment. She used
worksheets to assess her students and
flashcards to keep them engaged in the
discussion. By utilizing a variety of teaching
strategies and supported materials, the teacher
addresses students' different needs and
promotes academic success.
The teacher did not only assess the students
after all the activities and the discussion itself
but also during and before the formal
presentation. These three methods of
assessment are used together to provide a
thorough and meaningful evaluation of
student learning.
I can say that the students successfully
absorbed and understood the lesson even in
the middle of the discussion, as they were all
participating and the teacher constantly
lectured without interruption from her
students. Thus, there was a changed behavior
 seen in students which can be an indicator of
the learned curriculum. This is influenced not
just by teachers' teaching strategies, but also
by students' interactions with peers,
textbooks, and other learning materials, and
their unique learning styles and skills.
7. Hidden/Covert The teacher has successfully included societal
standards, morals, and expectations in her
discussion even though the subject he teaches
is math. She includes implicit teachings about
appropriate behavior, social interactions, and
cultural standards, which pupils learn through
observation, imitation, and peer influence.

Questions:
1. From the data that you have gathered based on your observation and interview, what
insights did you get about the curriculum and the teacher as a curricularist?
The curriculum was carefully planned, with a consistent sequence of topics that aligned with
state standards. Learning objectives were also mentioned at the start of instruction, giving
students an overview of the competencies that they needed to learn. Furthermore, the curriculum
included a variety of educational materials, such as textbooks and hands-on exercises, to
accommodate different learning styles and increase participation. Aside from delivering the
content, the instructor served as a facilitator of learning, continually altering methods of
instruction based on responses from students and requirements. Moreover, differentiation
strategies were evident, with opportunities for individual work, ensuring that all students had
access to meaningful learning experiences. The incorporation of real-world examples and
applications further enhanced student understanding and relevance.

2. Is it necessary for teachers to learn about school curriculum? Why?

Understanding the school curriculum is critical for teachers because it ensures the alignment of
teaching and learning objectives. Understanding curricular requirements allows teachers to better
adjust the assessment they will provide to their students. Furthermore, knowing the curriculum
will help teachers to be better at planning transformative learning experiences, improving student
achievement, and contributing to a dynamic and healthy educational community.

3. What is your view of curriculum? traditional or progressive? Explain your answer.

I think the current educational curriculum of the Philippines is a combination of the two
philosophies but Progressivism prevails because of the teachers. Many of the teachers, especially
elementary school teachers choose to be Progressivist because they want to promote hands-on
and active learning experiences. They believe that students learn best by doing. Thus, it appears
that the present curriculum is more progressive. Additionally, I observe that students are more
active and engaged with this type of curriculum, as they want to be included. This creates
opportunities for the students to engage with real-world problems, projects, and experiences.
This can include group discussions, debates, collaborative projects, and interactive activities.
One of the goals of the curriculum is to foster engagement and a deeper understanding of the
subject matter. Ensuring that all educational content becomes more meaningful and practical. It
is important that what students learn goes beyond theory and textbooks, empowering them to
apply their knowledge effectively outside the classroom. Having a progressive curriculum,
students are becoming more independent and innovative as they can study based on their own
learning styles and paces and engage in creative projects, which can have a positive impact on
their overall development. Therefore, progressivism emphasizes experiential learning, focuses on
the needs and interests of students, and places value on the holistic development of the student,
not just academic achievement.
