For this episode, I will use the activity from given below.
Interview a teacher. Ask if they perform these series of actions in the
teaching process.

EIPLANM PLEMEN

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.

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.

Cognitive Learning Theories

unobservable mental processes are used to
learn and remember new information or
acquire skills.

This is seen during recitation, quizzes, exams,

projects, etc. wherein, the teacher could be able
to measure the learning capacity of an individual.

Discovery Learning
individual learns from his
discovery of the
environment.

Learning by Doing. This is seen during the

experimentation, thesis, research and the like.
Wherein the students are able to explore and
could get ideas out of what they saw in their
surroundings/environment.

Reception Learning learners are

actively involved in their own
learning.

We could say that it will be seen during

performances like drama, role plays, poem,
reciting, singing, etc. 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

My Analysis

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

Teaching and learning give life and meaning to the

curriculum because this is the process wherein the
teacher and the students interact with each other
interchangeably or vice versa. If there is an effective
teaching-learning process, its really a big help to the
curriculum. Its a big honor because each complements
and supplements each other. The value placed in
teaching will reap the same value in learning. Thus, a
good curriculum can be judged by the kind if teaching
and the quality of learning derived from it.

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

The curriculum seems to be overloaded since it has

too many subjects to cover, too many topics to be
discuss. Sometimes, the curriculum is fragmented or is
simply bowed. Unfortunately, the learners life is not
compartmentalized.

My Reflections/ My Insights
I LIKE TEACHING BECAUSE...

For me this is a very challenging and exciting profession

of all. Teaching is the noblest of all profession. I like teaching
because It molds the hearts, minds and hands of students. If
you are really an effective and efficient teacher, you could
touch your students lives. You will be their inspiration and they
will never forget you for the rest of their lives.

My Analysis

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

modify. Why?

I want t modify the English subject in Secondary

Education Curriculum. This was said that in English, this
addresses the communicative needs of students by
adopting a communicative, interactive, collaborative
approach to learning as well as reflection and
introspection with the aim in view of developing
autonomous language learners aware of and able to cope
with global trends.
2. What curriculum models do you prefer? Why?

I will choose Learner-Centered Design because

among the progressive educational psychologists,
the learner is the center of the educative process.
This emphasis is very strong in the elementary
level, however, more concern has been placed on
the secondary and even the tertiary levels.

My Reflections/ My Insights

Subject Centered
Design Model

Problem-Center
Design Model

This model focuses on the content of

problems, needs,
the curriculum.
Correspondents mostly to
the textbook, written for
the specific subject

Draws on social
interests, and abilities of the
learners. Various problems are
given emphasis.
do I like

What
best in these
Content cuts across
curriculum subject boundaries and
designs? 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 Tools

Continuit
Vertical repetition and recurring approaches of the content
provide continuity.
Examples of topics in a subject area where content is organized in
a spiral fashion increasing in breadth and depth.

For example in English, the topic is part of speech.

So, to discuss all the parts of speech, you should organize
fist the first part of speech to be discussed. Example,
here are the sequence, discuss first the noun, followed by
pronoun, next is verb, followed by adjective and so forth.

My Analysis
1. Why is there a need to articulate the lessons from grade school
to high school?

There is a need to articulate the lessons from

grade school to high school that there is a
connection between the lower level and the next
level. So that if the students are entering high
school, they will not be surprised because the
lessons s still related when they are in elementary.
As a teacher, you should discuss the lesson from
step by step, the lesson should be organized. The
teacher must not jump into another topic without
finishing the previous one.

My Reflections/ My Insights
As a teacher, I need to understand fully well the dimensions of
curriculum
design because

This is really needed when you are in the teaching

profession. This must be followed to avoid confusion in the part
of the students. The teacher should be aware of these things so
that whenever/whatever schools she will be assigned, she had
already had the knowledge about the dimensions of curriculum
design. And in order for her to also understand the curriculum
she belongs, for her to respect the curriculum of the school that
she presently teaching.

My Tools
Interview a teacher in the school you visited and inquire how they have utilized their
parents as school partners in education.

I interviewed Mr.Vidallo a teacher from Katipunan

National High School which I conducted an observation in
her class as part of our requirements in FIELD STUDY 4
under Mrs.Pondoc. According to her, parents are really
important as one of the partners of the school in
education because parents play a big part in education.
At the beginning of the school year, during the Brigada
Eskwela, parents are the person invited to help the
school by means of cleaning in the entire school. All of
the parents are helping each other for the good of the
school and for the good of their children. They want to

My Analysis
1. As a future teacher, I need to know and understand the six (6) features of the
curriculum because...

These are really important for me to become

an effective and efficient teacher someday. For
me, to be able to know the things I should do for
the good of my students, and to my curriculum

My Reflections/ My Insights
Be a well-developed teacher!

As a future teacher, this is a big challenge to me. Could I

become an effective and efficient teacher someday? Could I
effectively use my head, hearts and hands in helping my students
\to be better? According to Dr. Koo the teacher should use the 3Hs
in teaching the students. Headteaching lots of ideas to learning,
by molding them academically; Heartshelps them if they have a
problem/s, be a compassionate teacher; and Handsbe helpful, be
approachable, we should not help the students through financial
aspects but we could help them through giving advices and
support.

2. Visit the Learning Resource Center of a school. Interview the media/learning

resource staff. How does technology help in delivery the curriculum?

Technology is a big help. It is the symbol of how

the curriculum is progressive. If the schools have lots of
technologies/ high-tech for a better teaching, this will
entertain the students to stay in the school. Through
technologies, it helps the students to acquire

3. Interview a faculty member or an administrator. Ask what criteria they use in

evaluating their school curriculum.

Ive asked Mr.Vidallo, He said that every year the

administration give evaluation sheets and lets the
students answer it. so that they will know if they will
change some of strategies of a curriculum.
