CURRICULUM MAPPING

DLO
• Define curriculum mapping
• Identify the purposes of curriculum maps
• Familiarize oneself of some examples of
curriculum maps
 Curriculum Mapping
• It is a process or procedure that follows
curriculum designing.
• It is done before curriculum implementation.
• It was introduced by Jacobs in 2004.
• It is an ongoing process or a work in progress.
• To some curricularists, it means making a map
to attain success.
 Questions which may be answered by
curriculum mapping
• What do my students learn?
• What do they study in the first quarter?
• What are they studying in the school throughout the
year?
• Do my co-teachers who handle the same subject, cover
the same content? Achieve the same outcomes? Use
similar strategies?
• How do I help my students understand the connections
between my subjects and other subjects within the
year? Next year?
 Some steps to follow in curriculum mapping (A)

• Make a matrix or a spread sheet.

• Place a timeline that you need to cover.
• Enter the ILO, skills needed to be taught or achieved at the end of
the teaching.
• Enter in the same matrix the content areas/subject areas to be
covered.
• Align and name each resource available.
• Enter the teaching learning methods to be used
• Align and enter the assessment procedures.
• Circulate the map among all involved personnel.
• Revise the map based on suggestions and distribute to all
concerned.
 (B)
• Make a matrix or a spreadsheet.
• Identify the degree or program outcomes (Ex.
BEED,BSED)
• Identify the subjects or cources under the
degree (Gen Ed, Prof Ed, Major)
• List the subjects along the vertical cells of the
matrix in a logical order.
• List the degree program outcomes along the
horizontal cell (Use PO1,PO2)
• Determine if such subjects accomplishes the
outcomes as either Learned (L),Performed (P)
or given opportunity (O). Place the code in the
corresponding cell.
• Fill up all cells.
• After accomplishing the map, use it as a guide
for all the teachers teaching the course for
students to complete the degree in four years.
 Curriculum Map
• It is a visual timeline that outline the desired
learning outcomes to be achieved, contents,
skills and values taught, instructional time,
assessment to be used and the overall student
movement towards the attainment of the
intended outcomes.
• It is geared to a school calendar.
• It provides quality control of what are taught
in schools to maintain excellence, efficiency
and effectiveness.
• It is intended to improve instruction and
maintain quality of education that all
stakeholders need to be assured.
• Stakeholders can look at the curriculum map
to see the intended learning outcomes and
content to be covered.
• A map avoids redundancy, inconsistencies and
misalignment.
• Horizontal alignment will make all teachers teaching
the same subjects in a grade level follow the same
timeline and accomplish the same learning outcomes.
• Alignment whether vertical or horizontal will develop
interdisciplinary connections among teachers and
students.
• It provides a good information for modification of
curriculum, changing of standards and competencies
in order to find ways to build connections in the
elemnts of the curricula.
