ACTIVITY SHEETS #1

Directions: Read the content on pages 1-12 in your reference book entitled,” Teacher and the School
Curriculum”, by Greag Tabios Pawilen and do the different activities below as your output.

ACTIVITY 1 – Write a personal definition of curriculum Explain the definition

For me, Curriculum is the overall content of a study, activities and foundations

that carefully selected, organized and implemented in schools in unique human activities as

an institution of justice and human development. It includes school discipline, textbooks

and materials used, lesson plans, values, tests and what the teacher teaches.

ACTIVITY 3- Think about this: What are the benefits and possible pitfalls of having an official curriculum
to all schools?

ANSWER:

For me, the benefits of having an official curriculum is that students' learning flow

will be peaceful and good, it will help them achieve the goal that the school wants to work on.

And for teachers it will make their teaching easier because there is an official curriculum that

must be followed and this is what guides them. And for me the possible problem of having an

official curriculum in all schools is not everyone has the same understanding. For example, if a

school is public not all the students there are able to understand a broad curriculum unlike

private students. There may be students left behind.

ACTIVITY 4- Discuss the roles of teachers and other curriculum workers in ensuring the success of the
implemented curriculum.

ANSWER:

The roles of teachers and other curriculum workers in ensuring the success of the

implemented curriculum is that they are responsible for introducing and teaching the curriculum

in the classroom and outside the classroom as well because of their knowledge, experience and

competencies teachers are central to any curriculum improvement effort. And they are the first

people who know the curriculum so they are the people who are assigned to teach and introduce

the curriculum well to the students so that they can guide their students well.

ACTIVITY 5:
Provide an example of a null or censored curriculum.

ANSWER:

 The exclusion of Darwin’s theory of evolution from the official biology curriculum. Null

content may represent specific facts omitted in a particular unit of study.

ACTIVITY 6

Provide an example of a hidden curriculum.

for example, many students pick up on the fact that year-end test scores are what really

matter. These attitudes and ideas aren't taught in any formal way, but kids absorb and internalize

them through natural observation and participation in classroom and social activities.
