Teh, Lara C. BSED Mathematics III EDUC 327 – The Teacher and the School Curriculum Lesson 1.1 Activity 1. Think-Pair-Share 2. a. Does the saber tooth curriculum still exist at present? The saber tooth curriculum, in my opinion, continues to exist today since our educational system teaches students how to complete specific tasks on their own and allows them to do activities that help them exercise their minds as well as their abilities. b. Describe the kind of curriculum that exists as describe in the article. The curriculum outlined in the article literally sends a message in the form of the premise that "we should teach them how to catch a fish with their hands rather than a net." In other words, we teachers/future teachers must teach the young how to manipulate their cognitions, and we should let them think and do things on their own rather than directing them. c. What does the author mean, when he said “A curriculum should be timeless?” Explain. It means that our educational system should be responsive to current demands and serve a specific function. Rather than individual teachers, school facilities, or districts, our community should make these curricular choices to meet our needs. d. What is the difference between education and training? The difference of training and education is that training refers to the act of imparting a particular skill or action to an individual, which is usually provided to operational employees. Although education is a process of systematic learning something in an institution that develops a sense of judgment and reasoning in employees, education is a process of systematic learning something in an institution that develops a sense of judgment and reasoning in employees. Preparation is done in order to learn a particular ability. Self – Check I.

Spin a Win: Agree or Disagree Agree 1. In the Saber Tooth Curriculum, learning is experiential and authentic. Agree 2. It is a reality that there exist more than one curricula in the teacher's classroom. Agree 3. A teacher can say with confidence that learning has occurred, if the curriculum has been assessed. Agree 4. Some curricula in the schools/classroom are unwritten. Agree 5. To establish national standards, teachers should be guided by recommended curriculum in basic and higher education. Agree 6. Teachers should expect that school curricula are dynamic and changing. Agree 7. Evaluated curriculum makes judgment about learning.

Agree 8. Textbooks and modules are written curricula that represent the recommended curricula. Disagree 9. Only the Department of Education can recommend a curriculum. Agree 10. In the heart of all types of curricula, the teacher has a major role. Self-Reflect The teacher is, without a doubt, the most important person in the curriculum implementation process. Teachers are essential to any curriculum development project because of their skills, perspectives, and competencies. As a result, teachers should be active in the development of curriculum. It helps teachers align. A successful curriculum also brings together teachers from different grades and subject areas to look at the larger picture of student learning. You ensure that students are prepared for what comes next by reinforcing skills over time. Lesson 2 Activity 1. The Teacher as a Curricularist Survey Tool Name of Teacher: Florisa N.

As a school teacher I master the subject matter that I have to teach. I implement what I have planned for my teaching. I monitor and assess if my students are learning. I modify my activity to suit my learners in my classroom. I lead in the implementation of a new curriculum in my school. I write instructional materials based on the recommended school curriculum. I look for other ways of doing to improve teaching and learning in my classroom. I participate in community activities as a good citizen. I disregard the needs of my learners and focus only in my lesson. I teach my plan for the students to learn.

Self-Check I am a Teacher! Who Am I as a Curricularist? Instructions: Identify on the blanks provided who am I as a Curriculum based on the cases presented.

Case 1: I have a good idea on how to make my learners pay attention at the lesson. I will use the new idea and find out if it will work Writes the curriculum Case 2: DepEd sent the standards, competencies and guidelines in teaching the Mother Tongue in Grade 1 in our school. I will study and use it in the coming school year, Knows the curriculum Case 3: There is so much to do in one school day. I seem not able to do all, but I have to accomplish something for my learners. I have made a daily activity plan to guide me. Plans the curriculum Case 4: I need a poem to celebrate the World Teachers’ Day. I composed one to be used in my class in Literature, Innovates the curriculum Case 5: My class is composed of learners from different home background and culture. I cannot use a “one-size-fits all strategy” in teaching so I can respond to the diverse background. In my readings, I discovered that there are ways of teaching. I tried one myself and it worked. Initiates the curriculum Case 6: Knowledge is limitless. What I learned in college is not enough. I need to know more, so I enrolled in the graduate school to advance my learning. Knows the curriculum Case 7: At the end of the year, my performance as a teacher is redacted in the school performance of my students. So I need to provide a monitoring tool to measure how they are progressing. The result will inform me how I will address my learners’ weakness and enhance their strengths. Evaluates the curriculum Case 8: I am teaching in a very far away barangay with no electricity yet. Many of the instructional aids for teaching sent to our school are films and video tapes which need power I cannot use them, but the lessons are very important, So I thought of making an alternative activity. I took my class to the river and waterfall instead of doing the lesson, Innovates the curriculum Case 9: My principal asked me to attend a write shop to make the lesson exemplars in the teaching of science in Grade '7. In the workshop, I used my experiences as a science teacher for ten years, and my knowledge of the subject matter. At the end of three days, I was able to produce lesson exemplars which I am proud of. Initiates the curriculum

Case 10: In grade 7 to grade 10 of the K to 12 Enhanced Curriculum, silence as a subject is presented, taught and learned in a spiral manner. This is part of the DepEd implementing guidelines of the curriculum. I am Biology major, and I have insouciant knowledge about the other areas of science such as Physics and Earth Science. Because of this dilemma, 'I have to request the principal that we have team teaching. "Which role of the curricularist, am I trying to do? Knows the curriculum Self-Reflect Name: Teh, Lara C.

Case No. 8

A. My Reflection on Case No. 8 Teachers as molders of young learners must indigenize and be innovative in using instructional resources that are open and available in the community that can alternatively cater the needs of diverse learning within the classroom, as creativity in education inspires teachers to look for new ways to keep students on track. B. What my partner said about my reflection: Ms. Gallardo agrees that we should do everything for our students. We should think of other ways to deliver them the knowledge that we want them to convey. Name of Partner: Gallardo, Jezyril S. Lesson 2.1 Activity 1. Traditional or Progressive: What is your View of Curriculum? 1. What is your own definition of a curriculum? Write down your answer in the space provided. Students exercise and gain proficiency in subject and applied learning skills through a standards-based series of scheduled interactions. Curriculum serves as a central guide for all educators in terms of what is required for effective teaching and learning, ensuring that all students have access to challenging academic experiences. 2. Do you have a traditional view of a curriculum, a progressive view or both? Explain your view based on your definition. My perspective of curriculum is the progressive view. More hands-on learning, unexpected program detours, and the opportunity to learn stuff in the classroom are all part of a progressive curriculum. Self-Check Label the description/definition on the left with either Traditional (T), or Progressive (P). Description (T) (P)

Self-Reflect Instruction: After learning from this lesson, how would you prepare yourself to become a teacher, using the three approaches to Curriculum? Write on the space below: Preparing to teach is a difficult challenge, but with the right instruction, it can be accomplished. My training should be based on what I will be teaching and who I will be teaching; curriculum serves as a teacher's guide. Following the designs will enable me to align the curriculum's learning objectives and decide if the students are establishing a solid base on which to build.

Lesson 2.3 Activity 1. Comparison of the Three Models (by groups or clusters of 3 (2051mm to 5 persons) Instruction: With your group members, determine the similarities and K/ « differences of the three models of Curriculum Development Process. How are the models similar? Similar Features

 Taba

Taba’s grassroot approach begins from the bottom

Both linear design. Tyler’s model is deductive and Taba is Inductive. Both models can be used in school and national level. Both are objective based and both include evaluation process.

Saylor & Alexander  Tyler’s model does not only focuses on goals, objectives and domains as considerations on curriculum development but also the experiences in relation to the purpose of the curriculum unlike Saylor and Alexander’s Models.  They both have specific objectives that need to be accomplished.  Saylor and Alexander and Taba’s model are similar in a way that they both need to



rather than from the top for which Tyler proposed. Their models both emphasize on the planning phase. 

 Saylor & Alexander

Saylor and Alexander’s model included the four phase of Curriculum Development Process.



examine the needs of the students or society by determining the goals and objectives and domain before subjecting to the curriculum designing, implementing and evaluating. They both specify major educational goals.

Their models are both designed that follows appropriate learning opportunities and how opportunities are provided.

Self-Check 1. Describe the model of curriculum development which you understood best. Write in two paragraphs. The Taba model is a curriculum creation that I like and appreciate because it is based on openended questions rather than correct or incorrect answers. The open-ended nature of the task necessitates more abstract thought, which is advantageous to gifted students. The questions and answers encourage in-depth classroom dialogue while still making it simple to assess student learning. Self-Reflect 1. What phase of the curriculum process do you find very important as a teacher? Why? A very important part of curriculum implementation is that the teacher should consider carefully the order in which learning targets should be learnt. Lesson 2.4 Self-Check Quick Check! Tag the Person What significant contribution can you recall about this person?

1. Lev Vygotsky – cultural transmission and development stage. Learning precedes development. Socio cultural development theory. 2. Daniel Goleman – emotional quotient 3. William Kilpatrick – he introduced a project method where teacher and student plan the activities. 4. Hilda Taba – theoretical and pedagogical foundations of concepts development and critical thinking in social studies curriculum. Helped lay the foundation for diverse student population. 5. Ralph Tyler – curriculum as based on students’ needs and interest. 6. John Dewey – learner -centered, outcome-based 7. Abraham Maslow – Self – actualization theory. Classic theory if human needs. 8. Carl Rogers – nondirective and therapeutic learning 9. Franklin Bobbit – started the curriculum development movement. 10. Alvin Toffler – wrote the book future shock.

Self-Reflect After discussing this lesson, reflect on the following questions. 1. Identify which among the foundations of curriculum, has influenced what you have learned in school as a college student? Perrenialism aims to prepare students for life by enhancing students' critical thinking skills and their quest for independence by stressing information and the value of knowledge. 2. How will the thinker of Abraham Maslow influence your teaching practice in the future? It makes me realize that the most important goal in life is personal development and understanding, which I will teach to my students in the future. An individual can only be genuinely satisfied if they are constantly improving and knowing themselves. 3. Do you agree with Alvin Tomes? I agree with Alvin Toffler that knowledge should prepare students for the future; though we cannot foresee with confidence the types of jobs that students will get in the future, the knowledge they have and the experiences they have will undoubtedly support and prepare them for their future desires....
