Curriculum

as a Product
Presented by: Merriecris G. Palopalo
 Curriculum as a
product
• It is expressed in form of outcomes which are  referred to as the achieved
learning  outcomes.
• The product from the curriculum is a student  equipped with the
knowledge, skills and  values to function effectively and  efficiently.
• Central to the approach is the formulation of  behavioral objectives stated
as intended  learning outcomes or desired products so  that content and
teaching methods may be  organized and the results evaluated.
• No curriculum will be perfect, a finished product cast in stone, or free from criticism,  but to
be effective it must be accepted by teachers and must be deemed  educationally valid by
parents and the community at large (“Guide to curriculum  development,” 2006).
• Curriculum development should be viewed as a process by which meeting student  needs
leads to improvement of student learning. In addition, it cannot be stagnant.  Curriculum
must be a living document that is in constant flux. It must be adaptable  to changes in the
educational community and in society in general. Only then will it  be able to be an effective
change agent in the educational process.
