Learning Episode 8
Understanding the School Curriculum- Close Encounter with the School Curriculum
Learning Essentials
Here are major principles of development relevant to this Episode:
1. Strengthens the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue.
2. Makes the curriculum relevant to the learners. The use of contextualized lessons and
addition of issues like disaster preparedness, climate change and information and
communication technology (ICT) are included in the curriculum. Thus, in-depth
knowledge, skills and values, attitude through continuity and consistency across every
level and subject.
3. Builds skills in literacy. With the use of Mother Tongue as the main language in studying
and learning tools from K to Grade 3, learners will become ready for higher level skills.
4. Ensures unified and seamless learning. The curriculum is designed in a spiral progression
where the students learn first the basic concepts, while they study the complex ones in the
next grade level. The progression of topics matches with the developmental and cognitive
skills. This process strengthens the mastery and retention.
5. Gearsp for the future. It is expected that those who finish basic education in Grade 12
will be ready for college or Tech-VOC careers. Their choice of careers will be defined
when they go to Grade 11 and 12.
6. Nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduate the learner will be ready
to embark on different career paths for a lifetime.
You will recall that a school curriculum is of many types for the Kindergarten to Grade 12
in the country.
The enhanced curriculum K to12 curriculum is the Recommended Curriculum.
It is to be used nationwide as mandated by Republic Act 10533.
When the curriculum writers began to write the content and competency standards
of the K to 12 Curriculum it became a Written Curriculum. It reflects the
substance of RA 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. In the
teacher's class it is the lesson plan. A lesson plan is a written curriculum in
miniscule.
What has been written in a lesson plan has to be implemented. It is putting life to
the written curriculum, which is referred to as the Taught Curriculum. The
guidance of__ the teacher is very crucial.
A curriculum that has been planned, and taught needs materials, objects, gadgets,
laboratory and many more that will help the teacher implement the curriculum.
This is referred to as the Supported Curriculum.
In order to find out if the teacher has succeeded in implementing the lesson plan,
an assessment shall be made. It can be done in the middle or end of the lesson.
The curriculum is now called the Assessed Curriculum.
However, there are unplanned curriculum in schools. These are not written, nor
deliberately taught but they influence learning. These include peer influence, the
media, school environment, the culture and tradition, natural calamities and many
more. This curriculum is called Hidden Curriculum or Implicit Curriculum.
So, what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with the school
curriculum, specifically in the K to 12 or the enhanced curriculum for basic education? Teachers
then should be multi-talented professionals who:
know and understand the curriculum as enumerated above;
write the curriculum to be taught;
plan the curriculum to be implemented;
initiate the curriculum which is being introduced;
innovate the curriculum to make it current and updated;
implement the curriculum that has been written and planned; and
evaluate the written, planned and learned curriculum.
Learning Episode 8 Activity 8.1
Curricula in the School Setting
OBSERVE
1. Locate where you can find the following curriculum in the school setting. Secure a copy,
make observations of the process and record your information in the matrix below.
Describe your observations.
6. Generalization of the
lesson of summary
7. Hidden Curriculum
(Media)
However, there
are unplanned
curriculum in
schools. These are
not written, nor
deliberately
taught but they
influence
learning. These
include peer
influence, the
media, school
environment, the
culture and
tradition, natural
calamities and
many more. This
curriculum is
called Hidden
Curriculum or
Implicit
Curriculum.
ANALYZE
1. Which of the seven type’s curriculum in the school setting is easy to find? Why?
For me was the learning process and the day to day delivery of the lesson the
content of the lesson
OBSERVE
This activity requires a full lesson observation from Motivation to Assessment.
Procedure:
1. Secure permit to observe one complete lesson in a particular subject, in a particular
grade/ year level.
2. Keep a close watch on the different components of the miniscule curriculum: the
lesson
3. Follow the three major components of a curriculum (Planning, Implementing and
Evaluating/Assessing). Observe and record your observation.
ANALYZE
Write a paragraph based on the data you gathered using these key questions?
1. How does the teacher whom you observed compare to the ideal characteristics or
competencies of global quality teachers?
the teacher As i observed in real life of teaching, They are not using or some of them not
using A detailed lesson plan (DLP) instead of that they are using semi-detailed. But on
how The DLP.was wrriten, The way they speaks and Discuss or delibery of the lesson
Something similar to The procedures on the DLP. So globaly Competent The teachers are
More Have different essentials the way On how they evaluate their students
3. Can you describe the disposition of the teacher after the lesson was taught? Happy and eager?
Satisfied and contented? Disappointed and exhausted?
So i was observe in my Resource teacher, The lesson was Flat? What do.i mean Not
happy but not boring because, i think Student's at the back of their gadget's some of them
gets the topic of the lesson.so For me was Satisfied and contented because The
deliberation of lesson was done properly, so In resources that she used And after The
lesson She gave an assignments and task So. I think she Followed on according to her
plan
4. Can you describe the majority of students' reactions after the lesson was taught? Confused?
Happy and eager? Contented? No reactions at all.
No reactions at all
REFLECT
Based on your observations and tasks in Activity 2 how will you prepare your lesson plan?
Make a short paragraph on the topic.
Of course i wil started on Preparing my resources, since it is virtual learning. I
prepeared the following: laptop for the presentation and white board , as well as
The Word Document files and Power point presentation . For my option A and
Option B. If i encountered Distractions on my lesson's so i have A follow up Plan. If
the topic was arithmetic sequence I preprepared also books and Internet for access
of information. And so i can begin now create my lesson plan. So i have my
resources To be used Then From objectives , Subject matter and Content ,learning
resources , Motivation , class discussion ,mastery of the lesson , generalization and
Evaluation.so that's my plan to Create a Lesson that i think Is productive to my
students.

Activity 8.3
Constructive Alignment of the Components of a Lesson Plan
OBSERVE
Using the diagram below fill up the Component parts of a Lesson Plan.
I. Title of the lesson: Arithmetic Sequence
II. Subject Area: Mathematics quarter 2
III.Grade level: Grade 10
Outcomes Teaching Method Assessment
ANALYZE
REFLECT
What lessons have you learned in developing or writing a lesson plan?
i learned About implementing the plan, On what method that you are using,
because student's are not the same abilities especially In mathematics class.so As
future educator you can Implement first a Plan such as Things that you can uesd
or resources In teaching process, also the materials needed in preparing a quizzes
and activities. So You can start Write a lesson plan through objectives and
Content then Motivation and drills That something catch the interest of the
students and Now discuss the lesson And Also You have the mastery of the lesson
and After that you can evaluate them by giving quiz. And also prepared as always
in implementing prepared a option B.
What value will it give to the teacher if the three components are aligned?
It can be have a successful discussion and learning was occurred and Accomplished
