Activity 1 – K to 12: Can We Make a Curriculum Change? (By Groups)
The K to 12 is the current reform in our national basic education curriculum.
There are driving forces as well as restraining forces that affects its implementation.
In other words, there are factors that will make K to 12 fail.
1. What factors make the K to 12 succeed? Write these on the left column A.
You may not fill up all the boxes.
2. What factors make the K to 12 difficult to succeed? Write these on the right
column B. You may not fill up all the boxes.
3. You see that the middle portion is the word equilibrium or balance.

Driving Force Restraining Forces

Government Fear of the Unknown
Society’s Values EQUI- Negative Attitudes
Technological Advancements LI- Traditional Perceptions
Knowledge Expansion BRIU Misconceptions
Modernization M
Administrative Support

1. If A is more than B, there will be a successful curriculum change.

2. If B is more than A, there will be an unsuccessful curriculum change.
3. If A and B are equal. Then there will be a status quo.

Activity 2 – Making Sense of Curriculum Implementation

1. Observe class where the teacher is actually teaching.
2. Describe what the teacher is doing for at least the whole period.
3. Write down your observations based on the following questions:
3.1 What were the different learners activities?
The students performed and did many tasks and activities. The
teacher gave a mini-guessing game for the students that is
related to the topic. The teacher also grouped the class into four
and did brainstorming. They also participated in class recitation
and answered the short quiz given by the teacher.
3.2 What did the teacher do? To make the learners engage in the activities?
The teacher said the objectives of the lesson. She also gave
motivations for the students. Because of this, the students
actively participated in the class discussion. The teacher also
used several teaching methods and styles extended the attention
span to engaged all of the students in the learning process.
3.3 Were majority of the children actively participating? Why?
 Yes. Majority of the children actively participated. It’s because the
teaching strategy used by the teacher motivated the students and
caught their attention. The teacher’s way of teaching was also
impressive.
3.4 Did the teacher control most of the activities?
Yes. The teacher has the control of the activities, but after giving
the activities, the students were the one who did, and the teacher
served as a facilitator.
3.5 Did the learners and the teacher together achieve the desired learning
outcomes? Explain
Yes. The teacher and the students achieved the desired learning
outcome. This is the result when the teacher’s strategies and
teaching methods matched the students’ learning styles. The
students had fun and actively participated, without compromising
the desired learning outcome which is to learn a new topic.

Perfect Match
In column A are concepts about curriculum implementation. Connect a line
from the box on the left (A) to the arrow on the right (B) of the correct match.

Column A Column B
Concepts Meaning Description
Implementing - Minor curriculum change like the use of e-portfolio
instead of portfolio as an artifact.
Restructuring - Progressive steps from orientation to reflection
about the curriculum that is a characteristic of a
curriculum implementation.
- Major curriculum change like shifting from face to
Developmental
face to on online delivery of an academic program.
- Curriculum process of putting into action what has
Alteration
been planned and designed.
Change Process - Process that ensures that the curriculum brings
about something different and better than before in
the desired learning outcomes.

Self-Reflect
1. As a future teacher, what would be your response to curriculum implementation
as part of curriculum change? Are you willing to take part in the implementation?
Why? Why not? Write your answer in the box.

Yes. I will take part in the implementation. This is an era where

curriculum change is needed. New approach to curriculum and
implementation in a new era normally requires schools and teachers to take
more responsibility for student learning. This might present a challenge at any
time, particularly when teachers have been used to more directives and less
professional approaches to curriculum implementation. In order to meet such
a challenge, a new approach to curriculum policy, namely “soft” policy, was
used by policy-makers to implement curriculum reform. With the provision of
substantial resources, it was expected by the policy-makers that schools and
teachers would have better opportunities to develop themselves
professionally and manage the new changes effectively.

Self-Reflect
Reflect and answer the statements below, based on the lesson you learned in
this lesson.

1. When I become a teacher,

I will consider the learning styles of my students in order to provide a
much effective and efficient learning for them,
because this will surely help me to come up with best strategies or
methods for their learning. And also, matching the learning styles to the
teaching strategies for the curriculum implementation will let me attain
the necessary objectives.

Lesson 3
Take Action

Class activity: Make students in groups decide on (a) a specific lesson to be

taught (b) learning objectives (c) choice of media (d) preparing Ingrid form a Lesson
Plan, as in the following example:

Table 2 An Example of a Simplified Lesson Plan

Subject : Science
Level : Grade 10
Class size : 30 students
Duration : 1 period (1 hour)
 Lesson : Electrical Circuits
Topic : Conductors or Insulators

Specific desired learning outcomes:

At the end of the lesson, learners must have:

- Differentiate conductors from insulators
- Identify common conductors and insulators
- Define resistance as well as circuits

Instructional media

- Youtube video about electrical circuits (15 minutes)

- White board

Activities

- Teacher introduces the general topic and lesson

- Pupils are prepared to view the video material
- After viewing, the teacher engages pupils in a brief motivational discussion
- Teacher highlights meaningful opinions from the class
- Teacher divides the class into groups, each group to fill in a grid brief points
on:
A. Insulators
B. Conductors
C. Resistance
- Teacher asks each group to prepare a board presentation of their brief
output.
- Teacher makes a summary of the lesson.
- Teacher assigns each student to prepare a poster design (with picture and
text) on the subject of Electrical Circuits for presentation and discussion in the
next class.

Self-Check
Learners say, we learn 83% through the use of sight, compared with less
effective ways to learn: Hearing (10%), smell (4%), touch (2%) and taste (1%). In the
use of visuals for a wide range of materials (Visual boards, charts, overhead
transparencies, slides, computer-generated presentations), there are basic principles
of basic design.
Assess a visual material or presentation (transparency or slide) using the
following criteria:
Visual elements (pictures, illustrations, graphics)
1. Lettering style or font – consistency and harmony
2. Number of lettering styles – no more than 2 in a static display (chart,
Bulletin board)
3. Use of capitals – short titles or headlines should be no more than 6 words
4. Lettering colors – easy to see and read. Use of contrast is good for
emphasis
5. Lettering size – good visibility even for students at the back of the
classroom
6. Spacing between letters – equal and even spacing
 7. Spacing between lines – not too close as to blur at a distance
8. Number of lines – no more than 8 lines of text in each transparency/slide
9. Appeal – unusual/catchy, two-dimensional, interactive (use of overlays or
movable flaps)
10. Use of directional – devices (arrows, bold letters, bullets. Contrasting color
and size, special placement of an item
Overall look:
patterns of alignment, shape, balance, style, color, scheme and color appeal

I assessed one visual material I found in the teaching demonstration

prepared by my former teacher. The learning font is consistent. The letters are
written or typed clearly and consistent. The colors and size of letters are
catchy and readable. The spacing is precise. The overall presentation is
appealing and well-made.

Self-Reflect
In a proposed mastery approach to instruction, the teacher (a) presents the
lesson to the whole class (b) assesses if the learners attained mastery of the lesson
(c) provides enrichment activities with the use of media technology (d) re-mediates
the non-mastery student (e) moves on to the next lesson.

1. How is the mastery approach better than the traditional one? It is better because
new advancements are adapted to broaden one’s knowledge and of course
approach in teaching-learning process.
2. The mastery approach appears time-consuming and difficult. Do you believe
practice and experience can overcome these difficulties? Yes. Practice and
experience can overcome these difficulties. To come up with a fine and
consistent mastery approach, practice and experience is really needed. You
can’t easily get what you want without having some practice or with lack of
experience.
3. How can technology help in enrichment activities? They provide supplementary
resources and references for teaching and learning. And aside from it,
learning is becoming more effective and one click away because of
technology.
4. Should the effective use of media be also assessed by the teacher? Yes. It is
very much needed by the teacher to assessed the use of media. This will help
them identify and analyze if the media they are using makes an efficient and
effective learning for the students.

As a high school student, Ramon knew that the K to 12 Curriculum is the curriculum
that is implemented and used in their school. He also said that he actively participates in
school activities. As a matter of fact, he is an officer. He joined several clubs and
organizations. He said that he involved himself in this school activities to prosper and
hone his skills, to perceive new information, and to grow himself individually. Ramon also
said that through these school activities, he noticed that he improved a lot and discovered
new skills. He became consistent and as time passed by, he felt that he became
developed. For him, the most important involvement that contributed to the learning of
the students was the program they started called “Officer in Aksyon”, wherein together
with the teachers, they helped other students who can’t read or write well to master this
skills. He said he loved to continue what he is doing cause aside from the fact that it
benefits him, the school benefits as well.

Stakeholders: How are they involved in curriculum implementation?
Enter in the matrix the stakeholders and identify their involvement in
Curriculum Implementation

Stakeholders Involvement
Learners Learners have more dynamic
participation from the planning,
designing, implementing and
evaluating. However, the degree
of their involvement is dependent
on their maturity.
Teachers Teachers are stakeholders who
plan, design, teach, implement and
evaluate the curriculum. No doubt,
the most important person in
curriculum implementation is the
teacher.
School Leader Principals and school heads, too,
have important roles in curriculum
implementation process in schools.
They should understand fully the
need for change and the
implementation process. They
should be ready to assist the
teachers and the students in the
 implementation.
Parents Parents are significant school
partners.

Self-Reflect
QUESTIONS for REFLECTION: Reflect on this question and answer below.
If all the stakeholders contribute positively in curriculum implementation, do
you think, curriculum change or development will succeed? Why? Or why not?

Yes. If all stakeholders contribute positively in curriculum implementation, the

curriculum change will be successful. Each interested party forms an integral part of
a specific school or the entire educational system. So, basically, all of them are
crucial for the professional development of education, as they can have a positive
impact or, on the contrary, lead to failure. Different stakeholders, whether it be
faculty, community members, or family, can significantly improve children's education
environment if they collaborate and share their ideas, goals, and plans. To be
successful, stakeholder engagement needs to be conscious, comprehensive, and
systematic throughout the process and include decision-making options. The
engagement may apply to the following topics: use of assents, school feedback,
planning of innovations, strategy set-up, parents' engagement, and more. Summing
up, different stakeholders play a crucial role in the education system nowadays. All
of them have their own specific interest and are strongly motivated to assist the
sphere's development.
