Subject: Curriculum Development

SELF-REFLECT
In a proposed mastery approach to instruction, the teacher (a) presents the lesson
to the whole class (b) assesses if learners attained mastery of the lesson (c)
provides enrichment activities with the use of media technology (d) re-mediates the
non-mastery student moves on to the next lesson. 

1. How is the mastery approach better than the traditional one? 

Traditional teaching keeps time spent on a topic constant and allows students'
'mastery' of curriculum content to vary. Mastery learning keeps learning outcomes
constant but varies the time needed for students to become proficient or competent
at these objectives.

2. The mastery approach appears time-consuming and difficult. Do you believe

practice and experience can overcome these difficulties? 
To develop the mastery of the learning activities using technology there are elements
needed to be acquainted by the students, and these elements are
“Effort, Errors, Practice and Knowledge. “The effort of the learners is their
actualization of their activity or other skilled learning models through the use of
technology. And soon as they continue to make or operate the said activity, they will
discover their errors and may cause of wasting so much time and produce difficulty
among the learners. Through the guidance of the teacher, these errors can be
corrected. The teacher should provide practice and exercise to overcome the
difficulties and minimize wasting of time. Practicing and exercising the students’
activities results in knowledge acquisition of the learners.

3. How can technology help in enrichment activities? 

Technology and internet help in enrichment learners’ activity through the following
aspect:
· Technology through internet provides factual and related information
· Technology introduces new teaching methods
· Technology gives an opportunity to maximize learning
· Technology conceptualizes the e-learning community
· Technology creates an ample learning environment
· Technology maximizes the learners’ output
· Technology means of innovative skills in learning
· Technology designed to meet learning excellency

4. Should the effective use of media be also assessed by the teacher?

Why?
The effective use of technology and other media should be assessed by the teacher
because even of the emergence of high-technology gadgets in the surface of
education; there is no substitution of our very own HUMAN TEACHERS. Teachers
have feelings and emotions that could facilitate and stimulate learning. Teacher is
the active director of the scenery of the learning climax. Teacher guide and teach the
learners with the proper and advance techniques in manipulating and operating
technology integrated in the education of the modern man. Without the teacher there
is no learning.
