Episode 4: Curriculum Planning Aligning Learning Outcomes with Learning Competencies
Episode 4.2: Aligning Learning Outcomes with Learning Competencies
This lesson will guide you in understanding how important it is to ensure perfect alignment
between learning competencies and learning outcomes.

Objectives:
1. Differentiate learning competencies from learning outcomes.
2. Observe how teachers align learning outcomes with learning competencies.
3. Analyse how learning outcomes can be aligned with learning competencies.

Education Theory
The K to 12 basic education curriculum is a standards – based curriculum. this means that it
includes content standards, performance standards, and learning competencies. The DepEd defines
this set of curriculum standards as:

1. Content standards – identify and set the essential knowledge and understanding that students
should learn.
2. Performance standards – describe the abilities and skills that students are expected to
demonstrate in relation to the content standards and integration of 21st century skills.
3. Learning competencies – refer to the knowledge, understanding, skills, and attitudes that the
learners need to demonstrate in every lesson.

Curriculum alignment is important to ensure an efficient and effective implementation of the

curriculum. Alignment is done at two levels:

1. At the macro level, curriculum alignment ensures that the curriculum standards are relevant
and responsive to the needs of the students, demands and needs of the society, and the nature
of the discipline.
2. At the micro level, curriculum alignment ensures that the learning outcomes are aligned with
learning competencies prescribed in the curriculum. Learning competencies are the basis of
the teachers in developing learning outcomes, selecting topics and strategies, and designing
assessment tools.

Learning outcomes are specific knowledge, skills, and values that each student needs to
master or demonstrate as a result of earning. Learning outcomes are traditionally known as learning
objectives or instructional objectives.
