    PROF ED 30 - CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

    CHAPTER I: Understanding Curriculum

    OVERVIEW
    Curriculum has undergone various studies and developments to become the
    bases of the curricula teachers, nowadays, develop. As such, it is defined narrowly as a
    listing of subjects to be taught in school, while broadly, it is the total learning experience
    of learners in school and society in general. Since its beginning, its actual definition has
    been subjected to various interpretations and points of view, especially Traditional and
    Progressive. While traditionalists emphasize on curriculum as purely academic, written
    documents or a plan of action in achieving goals Progressivists support the idea that
    curriculum is the actualization of the written materials by the learner and covers his/her
    total learning experience. In the process of planning, implementation and evaluation of a
    curriculum, seven types of curriculum have been identified: a) Recommended, b)
    Written, c) Taught, d) Supported, e) Assessed, f) Learned, and g) Hidden. Despite the
    contentions surrounding its basic foundation, there are four major foundations that are
    widely accepted. 1) Philosophical Foundations of curriculum provide educators in
    general with framework for planning, implementing, and evaluating curriculum based on
    four educational philosophies: Perennialism, Essentialism, Progressivism, and
    Reconstructionism. 2) Historical Foundations of curriculum aid educators in general in
    understanding that curriculum is dynamic. 3) Psychological Foundations of curriculum
    enable curriculum developers to determine the methodologies they should employ for
    students to learn effectively in accordance to some learning theories such as
    behaviorism or association theories, cognitive-information processing theories and
    humanistic theories. 4) Social Foundations of curriculum ensure that the curricula
    promotes the culture of society in causing changes which in return will be assimilated
    into society. These foundations and philosophies influence teachers in understanding
    the purpose of curriculum and influence them in designing it in accordance to the five
    conception of curriculum: 1) humanistic (focus on providing experiences for personal
    growth), 2) academic (focus on understanding knowledge in different disciplines), 3)
    systemic (focus on a systematic and efficient learning), 4) cognitive (focus on skills and
    thinking or learning processes), and 5) social reconstructionist ( focus on developing

    critical consciousness towards society). Having a clear understanding of the nature,


    concepts and purposes of a curriculum, curriculum developers will be able to
    successfully address the interrelated elements or components of the curriculum. They
    are as follows: 1) aims (vision/mission), goals (to be accomplished), and objectives
    (three educational objectives: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor), 2) subject matter
    or content (selected based on: self-sufficiency, significance, validity, interest, utility,
    learnability, and feasibility), 3) learning experiences (selection of methodologies or
    teaching strategies that will actualize the aims, goals and objectives to achieve the
    desired results), and 4) evaluation approaches (curriculum undergoes assessment to
    check its quality, effectiveness or value using the widely used CIPP (Content, Input,
    Product, Process) model).
