Conclusions (After analyzing the results of the interview, what can you conclude?
After I was analyzing the results of the interview of the three (3) teachers I can conclude that they
have closely related opinions about what is curriculum and based on their opinions and ideas they says that
curriculum is a thing that being taught in the school and they also believed that curriculum is a total guided
learning experiences design to facilitate learners.
Based on their opinions, me myself as future teacher it is very important to have curriculum in the
learning of everyone because it is the basis where in the teacher will provide the necessary things to be learn
by the learners that can focus in the three (3) domains of the learners and these are cognitive, affective,
psychomotor or the skills. It will provide the learners the specific subjects that they can use in the future.
I realized that every teacher has their own definition or understanding about the curriculum. We can only
4
understand the real meaning and purpose of curriculum if we are already in the field of teaching. According
to our discussion in Ed 15 (Curriculum Development) it was discussed there that curriculum is changing
so it means that developing curriculum in to a new one is way of making the learners to become more
productive and be responsible in their learning process. As what our professor always says that curriculum
is a heart of learning, without this curriculum, learning would become useless and meaning less for the
learners that is why as future teacher, for now we really need to study and deepen our understanding about
curriculum so that if we are in our filed we will become a good curricularist that must be a knower, writer,
planner, initiator, innovator, implementer and evaluator to our learners.
My Analysis
Based on the meanings that I get from the two (2) authoritative sources it is very clear
that curriculum often defined as the courses or subjects that offered in schools that are useful for
living in society. This statement is very clear, we cannot deny the fact that school has really design
curriculum that is from or approved by the Department of Education or Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) for the learners. Specific subjects offered that can enhanced the knowledge
and skills of every learner that they can use as they go along the way in their learning process.
It is very clear in our discussion in Curriculum development that curriculum is dynamic
and changing because it always needs revision to improve the educational system for a better
purpose. It should be progressive and done in a systematic way in order to create knowledgeable
and skillful individuals. That‟s why curriculum should be planned properly. Curriculum is not only
about the school, the learners and the students but it also important to the society. Whether
curriculum is taken in its narrow view as a listing of subjects to be taught in school or broadly as
all learning experiences that individuals undergo while in school, we cannot deny the fact that
curriculum should be understood by teachers and other stakeholders for curriculum affects all
teachers, students, parents, politicians, businessmen, professionals, government officials or all
people. That is why Curriculum plays a vital role in the society or country because it will help the
country prosper. I believe that through curriculum we can change our life, economic status and
preserve our national identity since it is the total experiences we have in our school.

The word “Curriculum” is just not an ordinary word but it has a lot of meanings and
definitions. You cannot understand the word curriculum if u are not undergo studying in its concepts,
the scope and its view. You really need to open your mind, be open to any possibilities and deepen your
understanding about this word so that you can easily understand what is really the point or the concept
of curriculum.
Based on the activities that I had done I discovered that there many point of views from
different authors and sources about the meaning of curriculum and some of this important point of view
or meaning about curriculum are courses, subjects offered to a school that are usually use and useful to
our daily living and to our society and also it is a planned and guided set of learning experiences and
intended learning outcomes, formulated through the systematic reconstruction of knowledge. Some also
says that curriculum is a written document that systematically describes goals, planned, objectives,
content, learning activities, evaluation. Those are the words that are commonly defined by some authors
about curriculum. I learned that curriculum has something to do in our life as a future teacher. It gives
impact to the individuals who want to gain more knowledge and skills. And it will really help them to
become competent in the future.
7
It was really a great experienced for me as a future teacher to do like this activity. I am very
thankful for the opportunity to experience this kind of activity. It was very helpful for me in a way that
by this experienced I got new ideas about what is really curriculum and why this curriculum is very
important in all learners. I believed that through this experienced my understanding about curriculum
become wider and I can use this in my field as future teacher.

A teacher must be aware and sensitive to the hidden curriculum in order for the teacher
to attain the intended outcome of the stduents there are circumstances that the teacher cannot
really understand the situation of the learners, sometime they cannot easily understand the
topic maybe it is because of learners it can be from their family, financila or maybe they have
problem with their self just like behavior and emotional problem that is why there is hiiden
curriculum to help the learner situation where in the teacher will discover what happening on
the learner and by this the teacher can understand and give the needs of the learners.

My Personal Insights
Traditional and progressive curriculum has their differences but they have the same goal which is
both ways evaluated and measure the learning of the students. They have both interaction between
teacher and students. They differ in way of teaching and how students interact. A mere traditional
curriculum will not simply give them the edge of doing what they expect to fulfill while they are in
school. However, on the progressive curriculum accompanied a practical type of education that was even
more pleasant as well as interesting in the students.

My Reflection
Curriculum refers to all subjects or courses offered in a school. It is a recommend order from the
DepEd or CHED. It may change any time if it is not anymore helping the learners to progress in the learning
development. I learned that in every curriculum there is always a process and a result either positive or negative.
It helps the learners building their confidence, skills and ideas. They can only attain their goals if they work
together both teacher and students in a very nice way.
As I interview, I learned many things like to identify or categorize the content. And what are the
outcomes of it, I realized curriculum is really important to us.
38
My Insights
There are a lot of criteria in the selection of the subject content. This is useful so that the
teachers are being guided and can would easily can come up with content that the learners can
really understand the topic. This will also help on how or what strategies they will use so that that
the learning may last and more enjoyable. I learned that in every curriculum there is a criterion that
we need to follow in order to attain our goals which is the 100 % proficiency of the learners.
These criteria will be utilized in the selection of subject matter and for the content needed in a
curriculum. It will really help the teachers on how to evaluate their learners. As a future educator, I
should have criteria in all of my subjects in order to have a good outcome in teaching learning
process.

For example, the teacher could have the students write an essay without
assistance. If they can do this, it is evidence that the students have achieved the
objective of the lesson.
Should the teacher demonstrate first or should the students learn by writing
immediately? Either way could work and preference is determined by the
philosophy of the teacher and the needs of the students. The point is that the
teacher needs to determine a logical order of experiences for the students.
For example, if students need to meet the objective of writing an essay. The
learning experience might be a demonstration by the teacher of writing an essay.
The students then might practice writing essays. The experience (essay
demonstration and writing) is consistent with the objective (Student will write an
essay).

My Personal Insights
Curriculum development is anchored on a very solid foundation. Although
considered to be a new discipline, its significance in the in the light global
developments has now been acknowledged. It is considered as a cooperative endeavor
for change but school and society must work together for it. I learned that there are
foundations in every planned curriculum. These foundations have greatly helped the
curriculum to become effective to all learners and teachers. And there are people
behind these foundations who were great contributors of the curriculum
development. I realized that before implementing a curriculum we really need to plan
it properly by learning the foundations of curriculum. We should build a curriculum
that will cater the needs and interest of the learners. Learners should be the center in
the teaching-learning process.

Explanation
It is very clear in my own philosophy of education that in teaching and learning process there are only
two main factors which are the teacher and the learner. These two factors have relationship with each
other. They are both important in terms of education. One job of being a teacher is to be giving the
needs of their students for learning by creating engaging and relevant learning experiences every day.
The best way to engage students is to have a solid classroom management plan and a well-planned
lesson that is grounded in relevant should have a purposeful activity that will develop the different
skills of the learners. And the job of being a student is to response to the planned and method that is
being integrated by the teacher to the student.

Upon answering this activity I could say that this curriculum design models is
very relevant to the learners. First, learner will develop skill in reading and activate
their critical thinking. Second, learners will also develop their comprehension and
understanding to any subject to be taught. Third, it will also develop the behavior
and discipline of the learner. Fourth, learner will activate their schema where in their
prior knowledge will be used for the new learnings. Fifth, learner will allow their
mind to think and choose for the betterment of their learnings. Sixth, through the
use of child-centered design, experience-centered design, humanistic design, learner
will engage and experience real setting that they can use for their learnings, where in
they will choose various activities that can apply to their own phase of growth and
also they can have opportunities to empower to shape their own learning. Lastly,
learner will be trained to solve real life problems that come about because of the
needs, interest and abilities of the learners. Problems persistent in life and society
that affect daily living are also considered. It will also develop the learners

We really need to change the curriculum form time to time it is because we really need to

in mind that we are in the 21st century and learners evolved. And because of the society‟s values
and needs change over time. In the 1950s, there was a lot more emphasis on the home
economics and industrial arts type of things, more emphasis on simply memorizing facts and
rules. Nowadays, with technology shifts, and an economy that is based on different skills, if we
had the same curriculum, it would be a catastrophe. Curricula have changed to meet the
different needs that we have now.

By Cyril John Barlongo
QUALITY education is viewed as any country‟s pillar of success.
72
Restructuring the Philippines‟s basic educational system through the K to 12 Program is a tough
but strategic move by the government to ensure that it produces competent graduates who can
serve as the backbone for a highly skilled and employable work force.
In Photo: Grade 1 pupils from Pasay City Elementary School at Leveriza Street in Pasay City take
time to write on their paper during the opening of classes in Metro Manila area and other
provinces.
Introduced in 2011 by the Department of Education (DepEd), headed by Secretary Armin
Luistro, FSJ, the K to 12 Program made kindergarten a prerequisite to basic education. It
lengthened basic schooling to include a two-year senior high school and offered technical and
vocational courses to students not planning to go to college, thus giving them more chances of
getting employed in blue-collar work
The program replaced the 10-year basic education curriculum, which consisted of six years in
grade school and four years in high school that concentrated on the English language and Filipino,
the sciences, arithmetic and mathematics, and the social sciences.It also incorporated these basic
lessons to include basic science and technology, engineering, mathematics, accountancy, business
and management, humanities and social sciences, and general academic courses such as technical-
vocational-livelihood, arts and design, and sports.
The implementation of the program has aroused fear among 13,600 teachers and 11,400
nonteaching staff in higher education institutions (HEIs) that they would end up losing their jobs
due to the lack of college enrollees.
Petitions have been submitted to the Supreme Court to suspend the program because politicians
and groups find the new system as insufficient preparation for life after school.
Lack of infrastructure is also one of the issues confronting the DepEd prior to and during the
initial implementation of the program. Needed for the new curriculum are 30,000 new classrooms;
30,000 new teachers; and 6,000 nonteaching staff.
Like most government endeavors, public education cannot succeed without the support of the
private sector. With the help of companies and business groups, programs by the government are
important in building a strong future for the country that would enhance our competitiveness in
the global community and would advance the competencies of Filipino graduates to stand at par
with global practices and be equipped with relevant skills and knowledge in their chosen
professions. Different programs will give the youth a steady and confident footing in pursuing a
career that will empower them to become able and productive participants in the shared task of
nation-building.
Toward this end, business organizations have been supporting the K to 12 Program on its
continued and proper reform implementation. Consistent support has been provided by the
Makati Business Club, Philippine Business for Education (PBEd), Philippine Chamber of
Commerce and Industry, Management Association of the Philippines, the Information Technology
and Business Process Association of the Philippines, Employers Confederation of the Philippines,
American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce
and Industry, and the Australia-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines.
Studies have repeatedly shown that “more schooling leads to a higher income, averaging a 10-
percent increase for every additional year in school.”
The League of Cities of the Philippines has also expressed its full and unwavering support for the
flagship education reform of the Aquino administration, led by Quezon City Mayor Herbert
Bautista.
73
Quality education is the best that the country can offer, a call that leads to quality employment for
a better quality of life. Hence, lawmakers should still be in the lookout for potential advancements
in the current status of our education system.
As of January 2015, the Philippine Statistics Authority Labor Force Survey showed a 6.6-percent
unemployment rate from 7.5 percent the previous year. Meanwhile, the survey also showed
employment grew to 93.4 percent, up from 92.5 percent the preceding year.
If industries, members of academe and society as a whole can work concertedly toward
empowering the students with global-standard competencies, the country‟s employment rate will
improve further.
Despite the massive number of graduates the country‟s institutions of higher learning produce
annually, not all possess the life skills needed to enter and become productive members of the work
force.
Workers in the services sector dominated the largest proportion by 54.6 percent, comprised of
those engaged in wholesale and retail trade, or in the repair of motor vehicles as the largest
percentage. Meanwhile, workers in the agriculture and industry sector comprised the second and
the smallest group with 29.5 percent and 15.9 percent, respectively. Laborers and unskilled
workers have remained in the largest group, accounting for 31 percent.
Due to financial reasons, many high-school graduates today cannot proceed to college, which
contributes to the aggregate of about 15 million out-of-school youth, according to PBEd.
The nonprofit organization proposes a voucher system to the DepEd and Commission for Higher
Education (CHED) to give out-of-school youth a chance to pursue tertiary education.
According to PBEd, the Unified Financial Assistance System for Higher and Technical Education
(UniFAST) and the Tertiary Education Transition Fund (TETF) will facilitate the funding for
the program if Congress will pass the two bills into law.
The UniFAST bill will harmonize government scholarships, grants-in-aid and loan programs,
while the TETF bill, in turn, will establish a development and welfare fund, PBEd says.
The UniFAST bill has been approved on third and final reading in the House of Representatives
and on second reading at the Senate.
The community where the students live is a key factor in collective assistance and encouragement.
With the help of volunteers through the DepEd‟s Brigada Eskuwela program, the public and
private sectors unite to provide services and resources through the repair and ensuring the safety
and cleanliness of classrooms and schools for the opening of public schools this June.
The program brings together teachers, parents, community members and stakeholders every third
week of May in an effort to maximize civil participation and utilize local resources to prepare
public schools for the opening of classes.
During the long week event, volunteers take time doing minor repairs, painting and cleaning of
school campuses.
The program has become the DepEd‟s model of genuine public and private partnership to curb
challenges that Philippine education is facing and serves as one of its front-line initiatives.
The Gulayan sa Paaralan Program of the DepEd, which began in 2007, also helps to address child
malnutrition among elementary students. The crops harvested from school gardens, which were
also planted by the students, are used to sustain the school‟s feeding programs. Children lacking
proper nutrients have lesser energy, physically and mentally, hence are unable to fully participate in
class.
Because of significant inflation in the country and improvement of facilities, private institutions
have raised their tuition in 313 private colleges and universities for the coming school year, slightly
higher than the 287 HEIs allowed by the CHED last year, for an increase in tuition and other fees.
74
The CHED said that of the 313 schools, only 283 HEIs were allowed to increase tuition, 212
would increase other fees, and 182 out of 313 schools were allowed to increase both tuition and
other school fees.
Despite the higher number compared to that of last year, the increases were lower from an average
of P35.66 per unit to P29.86. Other school fees were also lowered to P135.60 from P141.55 last
year.
Due to Supertyphoon Yolanda that devastated a wide swath of land in Eastern Visayas in 2013,
the CHED did not approve any application from the schools affected to increase tuition and other
school fees.
As no applications were submitted to CHED, no increases were imposed in the provinces of
Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino in Region 2; Albay, Camarines Norte,
Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Masbate and Sorsogon in Region 5; Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental
and Siquijor in Region 7; Camiguin, Misamis Oriental, Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon and Misamis
Occidental in Region 10.
For a program to go through, right appropriation is essential to deliver a smooth program
implementation. Mandated by the Philippine Constitution, the government must allocate the
highest proportion of its budgetary needs to education. As part of the Aquino administration vow,
of the P2.606-trilliion national budget, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM)
allocated P367.1 billion for the DepEd, the highest among the government agencies. The 2015
budget increased by 18.6 percent from last year.
Among the DepEd‟s programs are Abot-Alam Program, Alternative Delivery Mode Projector e-
IMPACT, Basic Education Madrasah Program, Computerization Program, Redesigned Technical-
Vocational High School Program and Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private
Education.
Modernizing the higher public education system is an integral part of making school facilities a
conducive environment for students to learn. Hence, to improve the country‟s state universities and
colleges (SUCs), a total of P44.4 billion was allocated to the SUCs, 16.8 percent higher from last
year.
The P2.5-billion allocation is designed to aid 40,453 Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program
beneficiaries.
To aid students who want to earn a college degree, the DBM allotted P7.9 billion for scholarship
grants and financial assistance. Under this allocation, the CHED‟s Students Financial Assistance
Program was appropriated a total of P763 million that will help 54,208 students nationwide.
My Insights
Education is very important to everyone. It can change personality, social status of people.
In the clippings above, it is very clear that in our country we have a poor educational system. This
poor educational system will not make our country globally competitive that is why there are
reforms that being newly implemented to sustain the quality of education and to provide the
necessary needs like skills, knowledge of every learners.

It is very clear that the stakeholders are the foundation of curriculum development.
Because of them the beauty and the importance of developing the curriculum become
more effective. I realized that both of them are important in curriculum
development. That is why as future teacher I will give importance to the people that
can give and contribute to the curriculum development.

The stakeholders are very important in the role of curriculum. They have the biggest
impact because they are developing the learners in physical and in mental. Without these
stakeholders then there will be no learning at all.
In the learners they are the core of the curriculum, they are the one who will learn to
the teachers. They have more dynamic participation from the planning and implementing. In
the teacher they are the one who will plan the curriculum that they are teaching. They are the
most important person in curriculum implementation. The better the teacher the more widely
the knowledge that the students will have.
Parents are the one who will guide their students when they are in their respective
homes. The values that their students have learned to their parents. That is why teachers
encourage the parents of the students to take a look up to them and assist their children.
They are individuals or institution that is interrelated in the school curriculum and the one
who put into action and give life to the curriculum, lastly shape the school curriculum
implementation. The primary stakeholders in the curriculum since the learners are the
primary stakeholders in the curriculum, the universal as well as the individual characteristics
of the students should be considered. Age, gender, physical, mental, emotional development,
cultural background, interests, aspirations and personal goals are some of the factors that

My Reflections
Curriculum evaluation may refer to the formal determination of the quality, effectiveness or value of the program,
process, and product of the curriculum. It is a new idea for many teachers, not knowing that every day the teacher
is involved in several components of evaluation. There are two ways of looking the curriculum evaluation. I
learned that in order to have an effective curriculum we must evaluate curriculum from time to time. Curriculum
refers not only to the specific school but also to the teachers and students. It greatly helps to the needs of the
students and teachers in creating a better change in the school. I realized that curriculum evaluation is really
important to the success and development of the said curriculum. It can help the learners meet the intended
outcomes and goals. And it also helps the school to develop in quantity and quality. As a future teacher, I should
evaluate my school curriculum in order for me to learn and realize the unnecessary instructions that we need to
delete. I will not only focus to myself but prioritize the needs of the disciples. I will give my best as a teacher in
order to mold the young individuals to learn.

My Learning Portfolio
(Paste a sample of a curricula evaluation form.)
When will I teach this one? Is it necessary to teach it after the previous lesson? Would I follow the
book or the Philippine Elementary Learning Competency? What are the lessons to be discussed the whole
week? Probably, if you are asking these questions, you are planning for the sequence of the lessons and
learning activities. In planning, there are two things you are depending on: the book and the PELC. However,
due to the rapid change in the society, these two would have some obsolete concepts and some may not be
applied to them anymore. Some may not fit them and even some may not hook up their interest to learn. In
fact, because of some deficiencies of the curriculum, it may not accommodate the needs of the learners very
well. So, whom or which would we depend on?
Our society is experiencing drastic change so as to the people living in it. As a future teacher, I should
know how to attend to these changes especially to the learners who are the main medium of these changes. In
response to this, there is curriculum framework that we call, the Curriculum Development.
Indeed, understanding the content of the curriculum helps us to determine how we can frame their
understanding. Educating children profoundly affects their lives and influences the life of anyone who comes
into contact with those children. Education provides a foundation for a child to base the rest of his or her life
on. Without a solid education, it becomes impossible for an individual to provide for themselves and their
family. Also, well-educated people can make decisions that benefit both their own interests and the interests
of society as a whole. That is why we really need to know the Curriculum and be part of its changes for the
good and betterment of everyone‟s learning.
These were the words comes in mind, while sitting on the back part of the classroom, observing
students and the teacher interactions. This were the words reflects as I am imagining I'll be teacher someday.
Field Study IV helped me so much in molding my principle as well as my goal.
