2. What kind of curriculum design influenced mostly the K to 12 Curriculum? Is it

subject-centered design, learner-centered design, or problem-centered design? In
the first column for the table below, write Yes or No for your answers (more than one
design for “Yes” is allowed). For the design(s) you agreed with, justify your answer(s)
using an example.
Yes/No Types of Curriculum Justification (Example)
Design in K-12
No Subject-Centered Design The K-12 curriculum has
not enhanced to be
‘subject-centered’
curriculum. This is quite
challenging since if this is
to be applied, it will only
be applicable to
Yes Learner-Centered Design As curriculum changes through time,
the K-12 curriculum implemented its
development of natural love of
learning and not feel that it’s
something to be exposed. Thus, it
recognizes to be ‘learner-centered’
curriculum in all grade levels that
students are not all the same and takes
each individual’s needs, interests, and
goals into consideration throughout
the design process. This practice and
conduct has the better way of
 approach for the learning process and
students are encouraged to be active in
participation. At the same time,
students have the opportunity to give
effort figuring problem-solving skills
and the space of having craftsmanship
without being spoon fed. A good
example would be group activities for
students to collaborate and learn from
each other while still being guided by
the teacher.

Yes Problem-Centered Design The K-12 curriculum has

made it possible in
‘problem-centered’ design
as well. It is evident that
the curriculum
incorporates life-
situations, current issues,
and social issues that are
relevant to the learning
process and how students
look into the problem
while at the same time
provide possible solutions
for it. For its transparency
and real-application, the
Research Studies that
students are now
engaged with,
interventions, and
participation making their
selves research-oriented
as early as Secondary
levels.
