TYPES OF CURRICULUM


• RECOMMENDED CURRICULUM

proposed by schoolars and professional organization

• WRITTEN CURRICULUM

implement/deliver lessons based on a curriculum that appear in school, district or division "documents"

• TAUGHT CURRICULUM

implemented or delivered planned activities in the classrooms or schools

• SUPPORTED CURRICULUM

implementation of supported curriculum

• ASSESSED CURRICULUM

when students take a quiz or the mid-term and final exams

• LEARNED CURRICULUM

can be achieved through learning objectives (cognitive, affective, & psychomotor domain)

• HIDDEN CURRICULUM

unintended curriculum (not deliberately planned but may modify behavior or influence learning outcomes)

GOOD CURRICULUMS complement & cooperate with other programs of the community; in logical sequence; continuously involving; complex of detail

 

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

process of selecting, organizing, executing & evaluating the learning experience for the possibilities of improving the teaching learning situation

PHASES OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

• PLANNING

considers:

needs of the learners

achievable goals & objectives

selection of the content to be taught

motivation to carry out the goals

strategies most fit to carry out the goals

process to measure learning outcomes

• ORGANIZATION

involves decisions, among other things, on grade placement & sequencing of content

• IMPLEMENTATION

requires the teacher to implement what has been planned

• EVALUATION

a match of the objectives with the learning outcomes will be made

 

CURRICULUM DESIGN

• SUBJECT CENTERED DESIGN

educators provide the subject matter

easy to deliver for complementary books & materials are commercially available

• LEARNER CENTERED DESIGN

takes each individual's needs, interests, and goals into consideration

• PROBLEM CENTERED DESIGN

draws on social problems, needs, interest & abilities of the learners

• BACKWARD DESIGN (UbD-Based curriculum)

  Stage 1: Identifying Results/Desired Outcomes

   Content/Performance standard

   Essential understanding

   Objevtives-KSA

   Essential Question

 

  Stage 2: Defining Acceptable Evidence/Assessment

   Assessment-Product

   Performance

   Assessment criteria/tools

   Six facets of understanding (e.i. a.p.e.s)

       1. Explain

       2. Interpret

       3. Apply

       4. Perspective

       5. Empathy

       6. Self knowledge

 

  Stage 3: Learning Plan/Instruction

   Firm up

   Deepen

   Transfer

 

• K-12 CURRICULUM (Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum)

  1. Universal Kindergarten

  2. Contextualization & Enhancement

  3. Spiral Progression

  4. Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education

  5. Senior High School

  6. College and Livelihood Readiness, 21st Century Skills

  MOTHER TONGUE

  a medium of instruction from pre-school to grade 3

  EVERY CHILD A READER

  by the end of SY, every child passing preschool must be reader by grade 1

 

SUBJECT CENTERED CURRICULUM

1. SEPARATE SUBJECT DESIGN

subject related to another subject but not integrated to put emphasis on that certain area

e.g. Values Education in HS

2. CORRELATION DESIGN

subjects are related to one another but each subject maintains its identity

e.g. Science & its related concepts in Math

3. DISCIPLINE DESIGN

focus on specific discipline which the scholars used to study as specific content of their field

e.g. English & Social Studies through History

4. BROAD FIELD DESIGN (interdisciplinary)

integration of contents that are related to each other to comprise ine subject area

e.g. geography + civics + culture + history = Social Studies

5. PROCESS

general & not specific to any particular discipline but applicable to all

 

LEARNER CENTERED DESIGN

1. CHILD CENTERED DESIGN

curriculum is anchored on the anticipated needs and interest of child

2. EXPERIENCE CENTERED DESIGN

integration of habits & skills in learning the knowledge components of subject areas

immediate felt interest & needs of learners

3. RADICAL DESIGN (Romantic)

students need to gain awareness, competencies, & attitude to enable them to take control of their lives

draws upon the ideas of critical theorists

4. HUMANISTIC DESIGN

the development of the self is the ultimate objective of learning (the process of becoming)

attributed to Abraham Mashlow & Carl Rogers

 

PROBLEM CENTERED CUREICULUM

1. LIFE SITUATION DESIGN

connection of subject to real situation increases the relevance of the curriculum

deals w/ life situation of health, worthy home membership, vocation, citizenship, leisure, ethical character (problem solving is heavily emphasize)

2. CORE DESIGN

centered on general education & is based on problems arising out of common human activities

curriculum is carefully planned before the students arrive (adjustments can be made)

3. RECONSTRUCTIONIST DESIGN

engages the learner in a critical analysis of the local, national & international community

gives attention to political practices of business & government groups & their impact on the economic realities of the workforce

 

COMPONENTS OF CURRICULUM DESIGN

OBJECTIVES

bases for the selection of content and learning experience

LEARNING EXPERIENCE

set the criteria against which learning outcomes will be evaluated

instructional strategies and methods

CONTENT/SUBJECT MATTER

frequently and commonly used in daily life

suited to the maturity levels and abilities of students

valuable in meeting the needs and the competences of a future career

compendium of facts, concepts, generalization, principles & theories

EVALUATION APPROACHES

methods and instruments to be used to asses the results of curriculum (quality, effectiveness or value of the program, process and product)

 

DESIGN ELEMENTS IN CURRICULUM

SCOPE (Coverage)

all the content, topics, learning experiences, & organizing threads comprising educational plan (units, sub-units, chapters, sub-chapters)

broad, limited, simple, general, etc.

SEQUENCE (Order)

vertical relationships among elements to provide continuous & cumulative learning

hierarchical manner of arrangement for content & experience; cognitive, affective & psychomotor domain for developmental patterns of growth

ARTICULATION (Connectivity)

establishes the vertical "linkage" from level to level, course to course to avoid glaring gaps & wasteful overlaps

explains connectivity of learning that create seamless learning

CONTINUITY (Spiral)

vertical repetition & recurring appearances of the content (basic to most difficult)

strengthen the permanency of learning & development of skills

BALANCE

equitable assignment of content, time, experiences and other elements

content should be fairly distributed in depth & breadth of a particular discipline/learning area

INTEGRATION

organization is drawn from the world themes from real life concerns

 

CRITERION IN CONTENT SELECTION

VALIDITY

content is true (autheticity) & related (rekevance) to the objectives

CONTINUITY

concepts be used to recur & be repeated w/ depth for effective learning

SIGNIFICANCE

content will contribute the basic ideas, concepts, principles and generalization to achieve the overall aim of the curriculum

INTEREST

learner will value the content or subject matter if it is meaningful to him/her

LEARNABILITY

appropriateness of the content; subject matter should be within the range of the experience of the learners

UTILITY

usefulness of the content or subject matter

 

CURRICULUM APPROACHES

MANAGERIAL APPROACH

school principal is the curriculum leader and at the same time instructional leader

SYSTEMS APPROACH

organizational chart of the school shows the line staff relationships of personnel and how decision are made

BEHAVIORAL APPROACH

change in behavior indicates the measure of the accomplishment

HUMANISTIC APPROACH

learner is the center of the curriculum

total development of the individual is the prime consideration

GRASSROOTS APPROACH (by Hilda Taba)

teachers who teach or implement the curriculum should participate in developing it

 

CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT

gather information about what students' know and can do

  PILOT TESTING

  process of gathering empirical data to support whether the material or the curriculum is useful, relevant, reliable & valid

  MONITORING

  periodic assessment and adjusment during the try out period

  ACCREDITATION

   voluntary review of the curricular program to determine its status in terms of several ideas that include curriculum & instruction

CURRICULUM EVALUATION

systematic process of judging the value effectiveness and adequacy of a curriculum to attain specified objectives

CURRICULUM IMPROVEMENT

enrich & modify certain aspects of a particular program w/o changing its fundamental conceptions

 

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

upgrading the quality of teaching and learning in school

broadening the delivery of education outside school through non traditional approaches to normal and informal learning

MODEL OF CURRICULUM (by Ralph Tylers)

purpose of the school (societal need)

educational experience related to the purpose

organization of the experience

evaluation of the experience

CIPP MODEL (by Stufflebeam)

  1. CONTEXT

  environment of the curriculum or the real situation where the curriculum is operating

  2. INPUT

  goals, instructional strategies, the learners, the teachers, the content and all the materials needed in the curriculum

  3. PROCESS

  ways and means of how the curriculum has been implemented

  4. PRODUCT

indicates if the curriculum accomplishes its goal
