Reflection

• differentiate the types of curricula,

- Formal curriculum refers to: what is laid down as the syllabus or that which is to be

learnt by students. It is the officially selected body of knowledge which government,

through the DepEd, ChEd and TESDA or anybody offering education, wants students to

learn. Then, informal curriculum as the curriculum in use. Teachers or instructors may

not adhere to the presented formal curriculum but can include other aspects of

knowledge derived from other sources. Another is actual Curriculum refers to both

written and unwritten syllabuses from which students encounter learning experiences

(Tanner and Tanner 1975). Learning experiences can be selected from other sources

rather than the prescribed, official and formal syllabuses. The actual curriculum is the

total sum of what students learn and teachers teach from both formal and informal
 curricula. Lastly, hidden Curriculum the nonacademic but educationally significant

component of schooling.

• identify the core curriculum at your school, and

- syllabus, all subjects, and programs.

• explain to colleagues the characteristics of each type of curriculum.

- Recommended curriculum proposed by scholars and professional organizations. Then, Written

Curriculum appears in school, district, division or country documents. Taught curriculum - what

teachers implement or deliver in the classrooms and schools. Supported curriculum - resources-

textbooks, computers, audio-visual materials which support and help in the implementation of

the curriculum. Assessed curriculum that which is tested and evaluated. Learned curriculum -

what the students actually learn and what is measured. Implicit Curriculum the unintended

curriculum.
