My Personal Insights:
Curriculum development is anchored on a very solid foundation. Although considered to be a new

discipline, its significance in the in the light global developments has now been acknowledged. It is
considered as a cooperative endeavor for change but school and society must work together for it. I
learned that there are foundations in every planned curriculum. These foundations have greatly
helped the curriculum to become effective to all learners and teachers. And there are people behind
these foundations who were great contributors of the curriculum development.
I realized that before implementing a curriculum we really need to plan it properly by learning the
foundations of curriculum. We should build a curriculum that will cater the needs and interest of the
learners. Learners should be the center in the teaching-learning process.

Explanation:
In my own philosophy of education. Teaching and learning process are not only affected by how the
teacher, teach his/her students, but are also affected by different factor like the Good
classroom/classroom setting, availability of learning facilities in school, and the type of assessment
