MODULE 1: THE K-12 CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK

PRE-TEST : Reflecting on Technology-based Learning Experiences ( 5 pts)

Recall how your teachers in your field of specialization used information and communication
technologies to help you understand some concepts in your lessons. A paragraph with a
complete thought would be enough.
- There are many ways to help the students understand some concepts in our lessons and
by the use of information and communication tecnologies this is a way of making a lesson for
the student. The teacher give a module that enclose here to elaborate clearly the information
regarding the discussion. By now the technology is important to us to give information and to
easy communicate.

CONTENT:

The implementation of the K-12 Curriculum of the Department of Education paved the
way for the enhancement of the Teacher Education Curriculum of the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED). The salient features of the K-12 Curriculum have been thoroughly considered
to ensure that all the courses in the teacher education program will meet the demands of the 21st
century classrooms. One of the considerations is the need to implement the following salient
features of the curriculum through integrating technologies for teaching and learning. The use of
technologies is done in the different levels of learning and in teaching the various fields of
specialization.

1. Strengthening Early Childhood Education (Universal Kindergarten)

With the Universal Kindergarten program of the Department every Filipino child is
expected to have access can be facilitated using technological tools that are readily
available to the school for teacher’s use.
The use of technology in Kindergarten by various schools is very evident in teaching
the kindergarten pupils the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors through games,

songs, and dances in their Mother Tongue.

2. Making the Curriculum Relevant to Learners (Contextualization and Enhancement)

Researchers shows the learners will value a curriculum that is relevant to their
lives. Students are often heard saying. “Do I need to know these to leave a meaningful
life?” “How will I use this lesson in the actual work place?” “What is the relevance of
this to me?” and so on. The answer to the question of relevance is vital to help the
teachers think of some ways by which they will be able to let their students realize that
their daily lessons are of good use to their personal well-being and to their
professional preparation. Sara Bernard (2010) stressed that the students need to have
a personal collection to a lesson material that can be done through engaging the
information with that which they already know. This she calls “Give It Context, and
Make it Count”
Briggs (2014) shared some few tips for making learning engaging and
personally relevant as cited by Willis, Faeth, and Immordino-Yang:

∙ Use suspense and keep it fresh- Drop hints about a new learning unit before you
reveal what might it be, leave gaping pauses in your speech, change seating
arrangements, and put up new and relevant posters or displays; all these can
activate emotional signals and keep students interests piqued.

∙ Make it student-directed – Give students a choice of assignments on a particular

topic, or ask them to design one of their own. “When students are involved in
designing the lesson and become more emotionally invested in and attached to
the learning outcomes.”

∙ Connect it to their lives and to what they already know- Taking the time to
brainstorm about what students already know and would like to learn about a
topic helps them to create goals. This also helps teachers see the best points of
departure for new ideas. Making cross-curricular connections also helps solidify
those neural hoops.

∙ Provide utility value – utility value provides relevance first by piquing students and
by telling them the content is important to their future goals: it then continues by
showing or explaining how the content fits into their plans for the future. This
helps students realize the content is not just interesting but also worth knowing.

∙ Build relatedness- Relatedness, on the other hand, answers the question, “What
have these to do with me?” It is an inherent need students to feel close to the
significant people in their lives, including teachers. Relatedness is seen by many
as having non-academic and academic sides.

To be able to apply the tips recommended by various experts and to

allow students to realize the value of their curriculum technological tools can be
used. 21st Century learners are expected to be demonstrating 21st Century
competencies such as collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem
solving to be able to thrive in this world (Rich, 2014). Contextualizing the
curriculum of the students for meaningful learnings poses challenges in
enhancing teachers’ pedagogical skills as well as technological skills.

3. Building Proficiency (Mother- Tongue Based Multilingual Education)

To be able to promote the child’s dominant language and to use it as a
language of instruction, maximum use of technological tools is highly
encouraged. Currently, a lot of teachers and schools are into developing learning

materials to be able to implement the MTB-MLE program properly specially that

there is a dearth of printed and e-materials of other learning areas. The learners
retain their ethnic identity, culture, heritage and values. Children learn better and
are more active in class and learn a second language even faster when they are
just taught in the language they understand.

4. Ensuring Integrated and Seamless Learning (Spiral Progression)

Learning basic concepts that lead to a more complex and sophisticated
version of the general concepts entail TPACK: Technological Knowledge,
Pedagogical Knowledge, And Content knowledge. Rediscovering concepts
previously presented as students go up in grade level will be fully supported if all
the areas of specialization will be aided by technologies for teaching and learning.
This will enhance mastery of topics and skills as they are revisited and
consolidated time and again. This also allows learners to learn topics and skills
appropriate to their developmental and cognitive skills.

5. Gearing Up for the Future

The K-12 Curriculum ensures college readiness by aligning the core
and applied courses to the College Readiness Standards (CRS) and the new
General Education (GE) Curriculum, Hence, the K-12 Curriculum focused on
developing appropriate Specialization Subjects for the Academic, Sports, Arts and
Design, and Technical Vocational Livelihood Tracks, All of these specialization
subjects have to be supported by educational technology for better learning.

6. Nurturing the Holistically Developed Filipino (College and Livelihood Readiness,

21st Century Skills)
To nurture holistically developed Filipino, every K-12 graduate is
expected to be ready to go into different paths- higher education, employment, or
entrepreneurship. Every graduate is expected to be equipped with information,
media and technology skills, and life and career skills, effective communication
skills and life and career skills. This may happen with the proper implementation
of the curriculum and with the facilitation by excellent teachers. For teachers to
maintain excellent performance, they need full support, one of which is
technological support.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 1: 5 pts.

Step 1: Introducing the Technology for Teaching and Learning 2 Course

The Technology for Teaching and Learning 2 Course helps you use the power of
computer technologies in different fields of specialization to spark student imagination and
ultimately move, motivate, and support students toward meaningful learning.
Let us assess your prior knowledge on how you can best use computer technologies to
enhance learning, answer this question by writing your answer in the box provided:
How can technology be used most effectively in the various fields of specialization to support
and assess student learning?

Technology can be used for instant assessment in many different ways, such as tracking
student progress over time. Perhaps even more compelling, however, edtech can also
beused to aid formative assessment: helping to boost engagement, identify knowledge
gaps, and support further/deeper learning.

Step 2: Setting My Outcomes for this Course 15 pts.

It must be noted that course outcomes can be achieved if clearly set. Therefore, there is
a need to ground this course with curricular and research- based goals and objectives.
Throughout this course, you will be tasked to use various technological resources and tools
that can help you create your plans and materials, improve your instruction, and enhance your
future students’ learning.

Collaborate with your teacher and colleagues and think about what you must do to be able
to make the most of this course. Answer the following questions:

1. How will I apply all the knowledge and skills that I learned in TTL 2 in teaching my field
of specialization?

Knowledge and skill that everyone need. In my field of specialization I will apply those
knowledge and skill by giving a lesson that easy to understand and using some of
activities to know if the student understand and if they learned from what I taught.

2. How will I develop learning plans for my classes to make sure that available
technologies for teaching and learning will be put to use for meaningful learning?

Learning plan is important it is a guide you to know the flow of your discussion. I need
more creative for the class and technology is always there especially for a teaching
method of a teacher. And ti develop learning plan you need to assure the availability of
those technologies for the meaningful learning.

3. How will I ensure that my goals in this course will be achieved?

All people have goals in our life, thats why we need to work hard. And my field of
specialization these is one of my way to achieve my goal. I need good mindset in mylife
that helps me to improve what I'm doing now for the better future.

Exchange

Teachers play a very important role in the facilitation of student learning by

designing, implementing and evaluating the curriculum. In the Philippines, teachers are
expected to actively engage themselves in curriculum design too ensure that the K-12
Curriculum will be best delivered to fully realize it’s intended learning outcomes.

Teachers make decision about how they will implement the curriculum of their
specific field of specialization. They decide on how they must structure the activities of
their lessons and manage students’ responses and ideas. Hence, the decision of teachers
is very important. It has an impact on the students’ learning. The following are points to
consider in identifying and understanding teachers’ roles as curriculum designers:

 EDUC 323 TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING 2 (TTL 2)

∙ Undoubtedly, the most important person in the curriculum implementation

process is the teacher. With their knowledge, experiences and competencies,
teachers are central to any curriculum development effort. Better teachers are
central to any curriculum development effort. Better teachers support better
learning because they are most knowledgeable about the practice of teaching and
are responsible for introducing the curriculum in the classroom (Alsubaie, 2016).

∙ Curriculum is the planned interaction of pupils with instructional content,

materials resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational
objectives- Jadhav and Patankar (2013).

∙ Curriculum is content, but when contextualized, it comes alive for students. The
role of teachers in the curriculum process is to help students develop an engaged
relationship with the content. Active learning increase the focus and retention of
the curriculum, resulting in an exciting learning environment. Teachers build
lessons that includes simulations, experiment, case studies and activities to
deliver a curriculum. This interactive approach intertwines curriculum and
practical experiences that immerse students in learning. The curriculum process
provides an opportunity for teachers to be creative and put their unique stamp on
the classroom experience (Meier, 2018).

∙ Teachers, on their part, have practical knowledge based on their daily work with
students. This knowledge is useful to curriculum committees because teachers
can access whether the ideas being developed will work in the classroom (Young,
1988).

LEARNING ACTIVITY 2 (10 pts.)

Considering my Role as Curriculum Designer

With the points of reference provided about curriculum and the teacher, participate
in a face to face discussion with the whole group about how your field of specialization (Ex.
Physical Education, English, Filipino, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science and so on) was
designed. In the discussion you are asked to thoughtfully consider your role as a curriculum
designer. Go over the Curriculum Guide and discuss together the essential features, focus, and
the general content and performance standards of your field of specialization or major per
grade or level. (You can use the different types of diagram that you choose)

LEARNING ACTIVITY 3 (10 pts)

Integrating Technologies for Teacher and Learning

a. After having an in-depth understanding of the general nature, focus, and non-negotiable
standards set for your field of specialization, share with the group some technological
resources and tools that can help you deliver your lesson to raise a high level of
excellence.

b. Brainstorm on how these technologies van be integrated properly and how they will
meet the important learning outcomes and the 21st Century skills.

Answer the following:

1. How will technological tools for teaching and learning promote the salient features of
the K-12 Curriculum?
Having access will let all students be able to have those who already have learned
the subject answer their questions. That will lead to those students not really learning
anything on their own. And, they will not have learned the skills to acquire knowledge on
their own.
2. What are the 21st century skills that are highly required to be developed by your field of
specialization? Rank them in terms of the identified standards and competencies of
your curriculum guide.

*Critical thinking.
*Creativity.
*Collaboration.
*Communication.
*Information literacy.
*Media literacy.
*Technology literacy.
*Flexibility.
