🌸• Higher Education
(The new basic education levels are provided in the K ton12nEnhanced Curriculum of 2013)
🍇7 types of curriculum according to Allan Glatthorn🍇
🌿• Recommended curriculum. The recommended curriculum is that which is recommended by scholars and professional organizations
▷ Basic Education – recommended by DepEd
▷ Higher Education – recommended by CHED
▷ Vocational Ed- TESDA
🌿• Written Curriculum
▷ Documents based on recommended curriculum
▷ Example: syllabi, course of study, module, books or instructional guides, lesson plan
🌿• Taught curriculum. The taught curriculum is that which teachers actually deliver day by day.
🌿• Supported curriculum.
▷ includes those resources that support the curriculum-textbooks, software, and other media
▷ supporting materials that make learning and teaching meaningful
▷ print materials like books, charts, posters, worksheets,
▷ or non-print materials like Power Point presentations, movies, slides, models, mock ups, realias
▷ facilities – playground, laboratory, AV rooms, zoo, museum, market or plaza (places where direct experiences occur)
• Learned curriculum. The learned curriculum is the bottom-line curriculum-the curriculum that students actually learn.
🌿• Assessed curriculum. The assessed curriculum is that which appears in tests and performance measures: state tests, standardized tests, district tests, and teacher-made tests.
🌿• Hidden/implicit curriculum.
▷ This is the unintended curriculum. It defines what students learn from the physical environment, the policies, and the procedures of the school.
▷ Not planned but has a great impact on students
🍇ways of presenting the curriculum🍇
🌸• Topical approach – content is based on knowledge and experiences
🌸• Concept approach – fewer topics in clusters around major and sub concepts
🌸• Thematic – combination of concepts
🌸• Modular – leads to complete units of instruction
🍇 criteria in the selection of the subject matter🍇
🌸• Self-sufficiency – it is helping the learners to attain the utmost independency in learning yet in an inexpensive way is the most important guiding principle in selecting the content according to Scheffler. This means, more of the results and effective learning outcomes though a lesser amount of the teacher’s effort and so with the learner’s effort.
🌸• Significance – It is significant if fundamental ideas, concepts, principles and generalization are supplied in the subject matter to achieve the overall aim of the curriculum.
🌸• Validity – the genuineness of a content selected is by its legality. The subject matter to be selected has to be legal to avoid selecting the obsolete ones.; must be verified at regular interval
🌸• Interest – the learner’s interest is a major factor in selecting the content; one of the driving forces of the learner to learn better
🌸• Utility - deciding on subject matter, its usefulness is considered to be essential.
🌸• Learnability – if there is a quotation to “live within our means” then there is also the consideration of “teaching within the means of the learners.”
🌸• Feasibility – content selection takes into thought the possibility, the practicability and the achievability of the subject matter in terms of the availability of the resources, proficiency of the teachers, and the personality of learners especially within the framework of the society and the government
🌼🌼Guide in addressing CONTENT in the curriculum as proposed by Palma?🌼🌼
🌹• BASIC
🌷▷ Balance – content should be fairly distributed in depth and breadth
🌷▷ Articulation - as the content complexity progresses, vertically or horizontally, smooth connections or bridging should be provided
-this ensures that there is no gaps or overlaps in the content
🌷▷ Sequence – logical arrangement
- Vertically – for deepening the content
- Horizontally – for broadening the content
🌷▷ Integration – relatedness or connectedness to other contents
- Provides a wholistic or unified view of curriculum instead of segmentation
🌷▷ Continuity – should be perennial, endures time
- Constant repetition, reinforcement and enhancement are elements of contnuity
🍇 Four phases of curriculum development 🍇
🍍• Curriculum Planning – considers the school vision, mission, and goals; includes the philosophy or strong education belief
