In the Philippines educational system, different
school is established in different educational level
• Basic Education: includes k-12
• Technical Vocational Education: Post-
Secondary Technical Vocational
Eduaction and Training taken care of

1.Recommended curriculum – proposed by scholars and professionals
organization
2.Written curriculum – appears in school, district, division or country
documents
3.Taught curriculum – what teachers implement or deliver in the
classrooms and schools
4.Supported curriculum – resources-textbook,computers, audio-
visual materials which support and help in the implementation of
the curriculum
5.Assessed curriculum – that which is tested and evaluated
6.Learned curriculum – what the students actually learn and what is
measured
7.Hidden curriculum – the unintended curriculum
– Most of the school curricula are recommended
– The curriculum may come from a national agency such as:

 DEPEd

 CHED

 DOST
– Or any professional organization who has stake in education.

• For example:
 PAFTE

 BIOTA
– This includes documents, course, of study or
syllabi handed down to the schools, districts,
division, departments, or colleges for
implantations.
– Example of this is the BEC and the written lesson
plan of each classroom teacher made up of
objectives and planned activities of the teacher.
– A curriculum that uses materials which should support or help in
implementation of a written curriculum.
– Materials such as: textbook, computers, audio-visual materials,
laboratory equipment, playgrounds, zoos, and others facilities.
– Support curriculum should enable each learner to achieve
real and lifelong learning.
–Refers to a tested or evaluated curriculum.

–At the duration and end of the teaching episodes,

series of evaluations are being done by the

teachers to determine the extent of teaching or to
tell if the students are progressing.
– Refers to the learning outcomes achieved by the
students.

– Learning outcomes are indicated by the results of the

test and changes in behavior which can either be

cognitive, affective or psychomotor.
– This is the unintended curriculum which is not deliberately planned but may
modify
• behavior or influence learning outcomes.
– There are lots of hidden curricula that transpire in the schools for example:

 Peer influences

 School environment

 Physical condition

 Teacher-learner interaction

 Mood of the teachers and

 Many other factors make up the hidden curriculum
