My Map
To reach my target of getting g the different concepts, nature and purposes of the
curriculum, do the following tasks:























-------
-------
-------
---
1. Visit the
school
2. Interview the
school community
and ask views about
the traditional/
progressive
curriculum
3. Inquire on the
type of curriculum
used in their school.
4. Request for a
sample of their
curriculum:

4.1. Scope/
sequence chart

4.2 Teaching
Guide

4.3 Sample lesson
plan


My Tools

1. Accomplish the H-chart. Interview an administrator or a faculty member. Get their ideas/views
of the curriculum. Write the differences on both sides and the similarities at the center and then
write your personal insights.























My Personal Insights:

Traditional Curriculum
Lack of instructional
materials
Parents are outsiders
and uninvolved
Crowded classroom
Knowledge is
absorbed through
lectures, worksheets
and text
The teachers do not
have enough
knowledge on
technologies for
effective and
meaningful teaching
Similarities
Prepare the learners to
engage in honest and
gainful work
Both of them teach
students with their
needs
Both uses syllabus or
course of study in
teaching
gives the students a
good process of
learning style
Progressive Curriculum
They are updated
Gives all the learners
needs and interest
Parents are primary
teachers and goal
setters
Knowledge is
constructed through
play , direct experience
and social interaction
The teachers are
globally competitive
and has a total learning
experiences among the
students/learners



2. Find out what curriculum is being used in the schools/colleges/universities near your place.

school/ universitys vision, mission and goals on this page.
























VISION

We dream of Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose values
and competencies enable them to realize their full potential and contribute
meaningfully to building the nation. As a learner-centered public institution, the
Department of Education continuously improves itself to better serve its stakeholders.

MISSION

and complete basic education where:
Students learn in child friendly, gender sensitive, safe, and motivating environment
Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner
Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and
supportive environment for effective learning to happen
Family, community, and other stakeholders are actively engaged and share
responsibility for developing life-long learners

MY MAP



In order to reach my target I should do the following steps using the given pyramid.












3. Write
your insight
on teaching and
learning
2. Observe a class.
1. Write your ideas on teaching and learning.




MY TOOLS


For this episode, I will use the activity form given below.
























Interview a teacher. Ask if they perform these series of actions in the teaching process.


PLAN
Includes decision about:
the needs of the learners
the achievable goals and objectives to meet the needs
the selection of the content to be taught
the motivation to carry out the goals
the strategies that are suited to carry out the goals /objectives
the evaluation process to measure learning outcomes



IMPLEMENT
Requires the teacher to implement what has been planned. Based on the
objectives, implementation means to put into action the different
activities in order to achieve the goals through the subject matter.


EVALUATE
A match of the objectives with the learning outcomes will be made.
The kind of information should be determined so that the type of
evaluation should be chosen to fit the purpose.
It will answer the question if the plans and implementation has
been successfully achieved.









When the teacher gives activity such as research work, experimentations, demonstration of a
certain thing and the like. This will help the teacher to examine the learners behavior for the certain
activity.





This is seen during recitation, quizzes, exams, projects, ect. Wherein, the teacher could be able
to measure the learning capacity of an individual.




Learning by doing. This is seen during the experimentation, thesis, and research and like.
Wherein the students are students are able to explore and could get ideas out of what they saw in
their surroundings/environment.


Observe a class, record the situations where these behavioral learning theories are
applied in real classroom work.
Behavioral Learning Theories- emphasize
observable behavior such as new skills,
knowledge or attitudes which can be
demonstrated.
Cognitive Learning Theories- unobservable
mental processes are used to learn and remember
new information and acquire skills
Discovery Learning individual learns from his
discovery of the environment.





We could say that it will be seen during performances like drama, role plays, poem, reciting,
ect. The learners are actively participating and learn a lot through mingling with others.
If the activities are on their needs or their capacity to do such thing. And if it is based on their
skills and abilities

MY ANALYSIS


1. Explain why teaching and learning give life and meaning to the curriculum.

2. Discuss why the deluge of information poses a great challenge to both teaching and
learning.






MY REFLECTIONS/ MY INSIGHTS



I LIKE TEACHING BECAUSE












Reception Learning- learners are actively involved
in their own learning.

MY MAP



To reach my target, I should do these steps.




Observe a class.







Identify the curriculum design used by schools.





Reflect and write my insights/ learning
Gained from the activities.

MY TOOLS


A curriculum can be organized either horizontally or vertically. Write samples of
them on the illustrations.






















Horizontal Articulation

Grammar
Lesson
Example:
past Tense/
Vocabulary/
or Sentence
Structure
HISTORY
LITERATURE
SCENCE
ARTS OR MUSIC
APPRECIATION



In the horizontal articulation, as shown in the illustration at the page previous page, grammar lessons
can be taught using other subjects as content like History, Literature, Science, and Music or Art
Appreciation.
Example in History: The teacher can use a part of the Philippine history to be used as apart of the
grammar lesson.
In 1321, Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the Philippines.
He claimed the islands for Spain.
Colonization begun when a Spanish explorer arrived from Mexico.
Miguel Lopez de Legaspi arrived from Mixeco in 1565.
He formed the European settlements in Cebu.
In 1571, the Spanish established Manila as the capital of the Spanish East Indies.
The student can now try to identify which is the subject and predicate. Get examples of past tense
usage and even unlock vocabulary words such as.
colonization
explorer
settlements
capital
established
Example in Science:
Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from gaseous phase.
Condensation is the reverse of evaporation.
Deposition is when the transition happens from the gaseous phase into solid phase directly.
Words such as of, on, from and into are good examples of prepositions.
Example in Art Appreciation:
Select some pictures to show the class and place them around the room, like gallery. Using a worksheet
or letting students works freely. Ask them to:
describe the picture orally
speculate what the painter was thinking or feeling or doing when she/he painted it
how does the painting make them feel
Let the student write a few sentences on their feelings about the paintings. 3-5 sentences will do. Task-
based learning of the language is being done here.


Example in Literature: Let the students read a short story and let them retell the story in their own
words using questions as guide for their grammar lesson. If its for the past tense then make sure the
questions given to the students will lead them to producing the output wanted which is the past tense.

MY ANALYSIS



1. Examine the Basic Education Curriculum. What aspects do you want to modify?

2. What curriculum models do you prefer? Why?





































MY REFLECTIONS
I





















Subject-Centered
Design Model


This model focuses on the content of the
corriculum.

Correspondents mostly to the textbook,
written for the specific subject


Problem-centered
Design Model


Draw on social problems, nneds, interests,
and abilities of the learners. Various problems
are given emphasis.

Content cuts across subject
Boundaries and must be based
On the needs, concerns and
Abilities of the students.




Learner-Centered
Design Model


The learner is the center of the educative process. It focuses on the learners, their needs
and the learnings that they should acquire from the teachers and from their activities and
experiences as well.

My Map

To attain my target, I should do the following.














3. Write insights/ reflections
on these innovations.
2. Interview faculty members on the
merits and demerits of these
innovations.
1. Visit DepEd or interview school
administrators on various curricular
issues and concerns






















My Tools

Interview school officials, faculty members or read educational journals and magazines
to complete the matrix.

Curricular
Innovations
Advantages (Merits) Disadvantages
(Demerits)
My Insights
1. Revised Basic
Education Curriculum
RBEC(2002)
- The advantages of
the revised basic
education curriculum
are that they outline
the easiest possible
paths for creating a
severely under-
educated student as to
follow the current
trend.


- The disadvantage is
that we have allowed
the teachers union to
have control over this
and education in
general for 40 years;
producing the result
of virtually illiterate
children after
graduation.




We cannot facilitate
learning well in a fast
way, learning is an
evolution. As a
teacher we want our
students to be the
brightest kid ever not
an illiterate one.
2. Secondary
Education Curriculum
UBD Model 2010
- UBD Model
emphasis on
backward design,
-other countries view
the 10-year education
cycle as sufficient.
This enhances the
participation of the
students in the
(UBD) the practice of looking
at the outcomes in
order to design
curriculum units,
performance
assessments, and
classroom instruction.
- Students being able
to explain, interpret,
apply, have
perspective,
empathize and have
self-knowledge.

learning activities.
3. K-12 - The program aims to
uplift the quality of
education in the
Philippines in order for
graduates to be easily
employed.
- The program also aims
to meet the standards
required for professionals
who would want to work
abroad.
- Most importantly, the
system aims to fully
enhance and develop the
students in order for them
to be well-prepared
especially in emotional
and cognitive aspects

- longer years in
school
- unprepared school
and faculty.
At this moment we
cannot see the
advantages and
disadvantages of this
innovation at hand,
for how it will really
go through. Although
the DepEd are
experiencing some
difficulties on what
will be the best they
can do for the teachers
to be fully equip
especially for the
preparation of Grade
11 and Grade 12.
