Direction: This part of the module will just elicit your prior knowledge about what you need to
learn. Hence, before you proceed it is good to reflect on what foundational knowledge you

CURRICULUM

might include social behaviors as well as content and thinking skills.

takes place, whether it occurs in traditional academic settings or non-traditional settings.

TRANSFER:

My Own Definition of Curriculum

Curriculum is where teachers serve as the guidance of every students. Teachers give
different kinds of activities or reports to their students and guide them the right way on how to
finish those tasks they had given. Curriculum can also be a course that students decide to take
first before entering college.

TRANSFER
Direction: Here are some tasks which measure your gained knowledge about the concepts of
traditonal and progressive curriculum. Answer the questions honestly and substantially.

1. Describe how your teachers deliver the crriculum prescribed by the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED). Justify your answer.

-The teachers deliver their curriculum clearly, my opinion as a student who had been
studying for one year until now. I can catch up with the activities and reports my teachers had
assigned to me to do, because they give me instructions and guide me on how to pass my tasks
on time. But due to this pandemic, teachers nowadays are busy-like-bees. I understand their
situation because they are also coping with this new learning curriculum.

2. How do you see yourself as a curricularist (a teacher delivering the K+12 curriculum) in the
future?

-I see myself as an understanding but strict teacher in the future. Strict at times of
teaching students inside the school premises rather inside the classroom assigned to me.
Understanding in cases of important emergencies regarding my students personal life and etc.

3. Do you think that the failure of a learner is because of how his/her teacher delivered the
curriculum?

-In this case, I'm in between the failure of a learner because of the teacher and the
failure of a learner because of his/her own wrong doings. I said this because there are instances
that teachers are the causes why students can't understand and learn well because of their lack
of knowledge about their students life and etc. There are instances students themselves ruined
their own skills and knowledge, its either they stop schooling because of wrong peers or they
can't concentrate studying because they've been to a traumatic situation. No one is at fault,
you just have to make things right.

4. Imagine yourself teaching in school now. How would you describe your ideal school?
Expound your answer with clear descriptions.

-My ideal school where I will teach should be nature-friendly. Shoud be far from noises
and nuisance situations. Should always cater students needs and comply to their "shout-outs"
and whims. The school should not be far enough from the community, so that the students
have no problem in traveling. The school should provide a refreshing place for students when
they want to relax their mind. The teachers should not just teach students but also serve them
like a mother/father figure, what I mean is teachers should guide their students in everything or
every way they can help, because they've been marked as the second parents of their students.
LESSON 3.

ACQUISITION

1. How did the author describe his ideal curriculum?

-The author describe his ideal curriculum by laying out the must-nots and the musts of
the curriculum.

-The must-nots I observe in my school is teachers sometimes observe favoritism inside

or outside the classroom. The musts I observe at school is that the school offers a best courses
for college students and the teachers are competent and have good qualities.
