    The K to 12 curriculum in the Philippines advocates for a learner-centered design model which focuses on the needs, interests, culture, and experiences of learners. During the pandemic, education has shifted to a more subject-centered approach through self-learning modules. Key insights from the presentation are that the curriculum provides guidance for learning, different models can be adopted depending on the education system, and teachers play a significant role in curriculum design as implementers and sources of feedback.

    ACTIVITY O1 – Curriculum Design Models


    February 09, 2022

    1. Of the models/designs, which do you think is advocated by the K to 12 Curriculum?


    Explain comprehensively.

    The K to 12 curriculum advocates the LEARNER-CENTERED design model of


    curriculum. This is explicitly provided in Section 5 of the Enhanced Basic Education Act of
    2013 (RA 10533) which states in its declaration of standards and principles that “the
    curriculum shall be learner-centered, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate”. The
    outcome-based education currently adopted in the Philippine education system is
    primarily characterized by putting the learners at the focus of the learning process with
    the teachers as facilitators of knowledge. This is in contrast to the former traditional system
    where the teacher is the sole source of information and the learners are passively
    receiving the knowledge being imparted. In the current setting as provided by RA 10533,
    the curriculum takes into consideration the needs, interests, culture, and experiences of
    the learner which is descriptive of a learner-centered curriculum.

    2. Amidst the pandemic, what kind of education do you think will our school children
    have?

    It is unfortunate that the pandemic forced the schools to revert to a SUBJECT-


    CENTERED learning process. The teachers had to prepare learning modules that the
    students had to self-learn. Only the topics that are presented in the modules are learned
    by the students, without the experience to develop their social skills and multiple
    intelligences. In some cases, the parents assist their children in accomplishing their
    learning modules, where there is little input to and diversion from the modules presented.
    Needless to say, the modules bring more focus on the content of the curriculum and are
    intended to cover all the topics specified in the curriculum without developing the other
    aspects of the learner as a human being.

    3. Give three (3) important learnings or insights you have taken from the slides.

    The following are the most notable insights I have learned from the presentation:

    (i) The curriculum is the overall plan of the education program. It has always been said
    that failing to plan equates to planning to fail. Without the curriculum, there will be no
    guide and standards to follow in putting across learning; hence, learning may not occur
    at all. The curriculum gives the stakeholders a view of the bigger picture on how the
    learning process will be executed. It is the design that will become the rulebook of the
    faculty, the administrators, and the students that ensures the success of the education
    program in producing the right kind of graduates the school intends to have.

    (ii) There are various design models that we can adopt in the process of developing a
    curriculum. These curriculum designs are used in different institutions depending on their
    intended education system; hence, there is really no definite model that every school
    must adopt, given that nowadays, the differences in learning styles and needs of students
    are more prominent. However, the shift to a learner-centered design model is deemed
    to enable the curriculum to focus on the students, while integrating their experiences,
    their needs, and their intelligence types. Although it is not the perfect model (as it is not
    ideal for a large class), this model seems to encompass, in some way, the other models.

    (iii) Teachers play a significant role in designing the curriculum. Being in the frontlines of
    the education process, the teacher possesses the most knowledge on what elements
    should go into the curriculum. They are the ones who decide on the teaching strategies
    and the types of assessment in order to facilitate the learning process successfully. They
    are the main implementers of the curriculum and in the process, they are to gather the
    appropriate data so that the curriculum design gets to be updated or amended for the
    improvement of the education process.
