Activity 1 Curriculum Design Models
Best Features
These are types of Curriculum Design Models. 1. Subject-Centered Design The drawback of his design is that sometimes Complete the templatelearning givenisbelow by citing so compartmentalized. It stresses 1.1 Subject Design their best features/advantages. so much the content that it forgets about students’ natural tendencies, interest and experiences.
.
1.2 Discipline Design
Discipline refers to specific knowledge and through a method which the scholars use to study a specific content of their fields.
1.3 Correlation Design
This comes from a core, correlated curriculum design that links separate subject designs in order to reduce fragmentation. Subjects are related to one another but each subject a maintains its identify.
1.4 Scrap field Design/Interdisciplinary Design
This design was made to prevent the compartmentalization of subjects and integrate the contents that are related to each other.
2. Learner- Centered Design 2.1 Child Centered Design
2.2 Experienced-Centered Design
It is anchored on the needs and interests of the child. The learner is not considered as a passive individual but as one who engages with his/her environment. One learns by doing. Learners interact with the teachers and the environment. Experiences of the learners become the starting point of the curriculum. Thus the school environment is left open and free. Learners are made to choose from various activities that the teacher provides. The learners are empowered to shape their own learning from the different opportunities given by the teacher.
2.3 Humanistic Design
3. Problem- Centered Design 3.1 Life Situation Design
3.2 Core Problem Design
The development of self is the ultimate objective of leaning. It stresses the whole person and the integration of thinking, feeling and doing. It considers the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains to be interconnected and must be addressed in the curriculum. It stresses the development of positive self-concept and interpersonal skills. It uses the past and present experiences of learners as a means to analyze the basic areas of living. As a starting point, the pressing immediate problems of the society and the student’s existing concerns are utilized. It centers on general education and the problems are based on common human activities. The central focus of the core design includes common needs, problems, concerns, of the learners.
My Personal Insights
SINGCO, KATHLEEN O. Students play as a core of the curriculum. In the K-12 program utilizes the curriculum design models which composes of subject-centered, learner-centered and problem centered. The subject-centered is more on traditional approaches while the learner-centered is progressive approach. In this activity the curriculum design model views as their best features and I can compare their different characteristics where would be the best for the students and to the teacher. As a future teacher, I would like to impose the learner-centered design model. The teacher must be facilitator, innovator, knower and etc. These characteristics of the teacher would be successful once the learner-centered will be practice. As a learnercentered, they would be able to exercise their own as constructing of ideas, expertise in
any areas of subject matter, shape their own learning from the different opportunities given by the teacher and it stresses their development of positive self-concept and interpersonal skills. BARRERA, MARIVIC V.

My Personal Insights
SINGCO, KATHLEEN O. In this activity as we interviewed teachers on their perception about the K-12 program. They stress about the DepEd Order that the students must become competitive globally, skillfully and masters in order to find their job soon. As a future educator, I would like to give or provide best education to my students in order for them to become skillfully in global market and ready to compete globally. I should be ready to achieve my everyday goals and objectives in every lessons or subject matter because once the teacher knows what she/he do then the class or students would prosper in good outcome.

Activity 2 Visit a Teacher Education Institution. Secure a copy of an OBE- based n syllabus. Analyze each component of the given syllabus. How are the . . components stated? Are the activities aligned with the intended learning outcomes and modes of assessment?
My Analysis SINGCO, KATHLEEN O. Outcome Based Education goal is to present the knowledge and skills of an older generation to the new generation of students, and to provide students with an environment in which to learn.
According to Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model Curriculum “Curriculum planners begin by specifying the major educational goals and specific objectives they wish to be accomplished”. Outcome is the prior in the educational institution. The focus on outcomes creates a clear expectation of what needs to be accomplished by the end of the year. Teacher should be ready and mastered her/his lesson and at the end of the day he/she will expect that the students understand the lessons. The implication for this activity is to develop the skills, knowledge and the behavior of the students. To have a students-students relationship or they can promote interpersonal relationship. Teacher will develop students full potential in actual behavior to have a LIFELONG LEARNING outcomes.

DepEd mulls drug test for tutors, kids THE DEPARTMENT of Education (DepEd) is seriously considering conducting an annual drug test for public school teachers and random drug tests for public school
students with the consent of their parents, Education Secretary Leonor Briones said yesterday. Briones said the DepEd was also considering using visual presentations to teach Grade 4 pupils about the drug menace. Briones announced the DepEd’s proactive stance in the government’s antidrug campaign during the Senate finance subcommittee’s deliberations on the DepEd’s proposed P566 billion budget for 2017. “We are a very, very large sector so we have to look into this [drug] issue. So it’s not only improving the curriculum but making it much alive and much more effective,” she told senators. There are 722,000 public school teachers and 25 million students all over the country, Briones said. She noted the drug menace had affected schools, with “drugs delivered to gates of school buildings.” “We can’t claim to be excluded and protected from the drug menace,” she said. Briones said the education sector wanted to make a “contribution” to the government’s war against drugs and “we recognize we have to start with our learners and teachers.” She said the drug test for students would be for “sampling basis” and “with the consent of their parents.” Private organizations and the Philippine National Police have offered to hold briefings on the drug issue for students. She also said they were interested in drug rehabilitation centers since a study show that a “substantial number of those who are arrested (for drug use) are young people out of school and maybe a few who are in school.” Briones told reporters later that they would to decide this year or next year the conduct for the drug test. She said the drug test for students was also aimed to determine the prevalence of drug use among students.

My Insights
SINGCO, KATHLEEN O.
If I would be the secretary of the Department of Education, I will surprise them to have a drug test to all teachers not just annual and to the students no need for their parent’s consent. This institution is the second home of all learners. We not need to considerate once the teacher or student positive on that allege drugs. This is for the betterment of the institution. As a future teacher, I am willing to have a drug test especially to those suspected students who are using drugs. I will directly provide feedback to the administrator and to the parents of that student. I need to be very careful also with my steps because there are some student has an inner killer on themselves. BARRERA, MARIVIC V.

EPISODE 11 Stakeholders in Curriculum Development
Activity 1 Interview different stakeholders and inquire about their roles in curriculum . development. Stakeholders of the Curriculum Development
Roles in Curriculum Development
1 Learners
The learner is a center of a curriculum. They are the very reason why the curriculum is developed. The experience of the learner’s must be the starting point in accomplishing the goals of education, to let them grow in knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes.
2 Teachers
There are the most crucial persons in the implementation of the curriculum. As an adult in the teaching - learning process, she/ he holds the key in operationalizing what activities have been planned. Her/ his ability to translate what has been written to action is the key to effective curriculum implementation.
3 School Leader/ Administrator
One of their functions is being a curriculum manager. They supervise curriculum implementation, select the new recruit teachers, admit students, procure equipment, and materials needed for effective learning. They also plan for the school facilities improvement.
4 Parents
Effective parental involvement in school affairs may be linked to parent educational programs which is central to high quality educational experience of the children. They involved extends from the confine of the school to the homes. They provides curriculum materials that are not provided in the school.
5 Community
Community members and materials in the existing local community can very well substitute for what are needed in implementing the curriculum.
6 Other Agencies
Professional organizations have shown great influence in school curriculum. They are being asked by curriculum specialist to contribute in curriculum review because they have a voice in licensure examination, curriculum enhancement and many more.
My Reflections
SINGCO, KATHLEEN O. Stakeholders hold as vital role in curriculum, students as the core of the curriculum. The teacher as the curricularist. The school head as the manager. The Parents are partners. The community as resources and getting of learning environment. The LGU is the supplier of all the needs in curriculum (education institution). They have different roles on curriculum but the only one thing they promote is to have a better standard education in the future to face the 21 st century and be ready for the compete globally.

My Personal Insights
SINGCO, KATHLEEN O. Parents play a vital role in curriculum as they were the one who is very supportive in every event like in brigade eskwela. Some parents considered as also part of the program. I am a parent and have two children. Way back on the kindergarten years of my son, I was able to be the speaker. In the beginning of the school year the teacher provide
requirements to pass like notebooks, cartolina, manila paper and so on. I am also considered as a teacher aide and mentor of my son because we do his assignments everyday. BARRERA, MARIVIC V.
GELERA, KRISSA MAE O. PANILAGA, LOVELY V.
CATUBAY, JUVY ANNE E. m Activity 3 Reflect on the importance of stakeholders in curriculum implementation.
SINGCO, KATHLEEN O. Participatory planning requires the involvement of concerned stakeholders. This includes identifying public concerns and values and developing a broad consensus on planned initiatives. According to Albert Einstein “The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education”. School is the most important means of transferring the wealth to our children. This applies today with modern development of the economic life. The teacher is the instrument for transferring a quantity of knowledge to the growing generation or student. It develop in the young individuals those qualities and capabilities which are of value. For a community of standardized individuals is the resources and learning individual. So, without the stakeholders there will be no education and we are still on the primitive society.

EPISODE 12 Curriculum Evaluation and the teacher
m Activity 1 Ask at least six teachers, why there is a need to evaluate the curriculum.
Ma’am, please look at the workbook answer to this activity. Thank you.
Activity 2 Interview a principal/administrator; find out how they evaluate their school’s . curriculum.
Excerpts of the Interview
There was no principal when we came back to the office. Mrs. Maristel Cadayday was out for seminar. Our dtr was signed only by the OIC Mrs. Donna Bunyag. When we ask her about the evaluation form, she said that she does’nt know about it because it is a private property of the principal.
My Reflections SINGCO, KATHLEEN O. I research online some evaluation form for the teacher, more on the actualization of the teacher inside the classroom. As a future teacher I would, do all my very best to continue giving more information and skills that I know. I will motivate my students and give some advice for the implication of values also. Once the teacher knows better then the student will be lively and participate. If ever there will be a student that need an attention, then I will give my presence to make him/her feel interest and better on the classroom.
