Analysis:
1. List down the findings you had on your interview.

As I concluded their answers, they have all the same concept for both traditional and
progressive curriculum. They all stated that traditional way of learning teachers are
the main provider of knowledge and the students are just absorbing what is being
thought in front of the class while in this progressive the role of the teacher is just
facilitating the knowledge provided by the students. Traditional is manual while the
progressive is automatic.
 2. Who among them had given the right concept about the traditional and progressive
curriculum? Why do you say so?

All of them stated the right concept about traditional and progressive curriculum.

INSTRUCTIONS: Fill-out the column below by interviewing an administrator and a

teacher to explain how the seven (7) axioms are manifested in the school setting.
They can choose the axiom that s/he wants to explain.

2. “Curriculum change is inevitable, There’s no such thing is inevitable and so

necessary and desirable.” as the learning experience given to
students.
3. “Curriculum change depends on Teachers who will execute the curriculum

who implement the curriculum, it's
preferable if they develop the adjustments

choices or alternatives.”

Analysis:
1. Does curriculum change not consider the existing one? Explain your answer.

It should be considered because the old one will act as the guide to have the best
and effective curriculum for the day and for the future.

2. If you are to improve or revise the curriculum design, what will you add, subtract, or
modify? Write your suggestion.

In this matter we should consider the teachers perception, observation based on

daily students performance as the teachers have the most knowledge about what is
really happening. Also we should have the experts in curriculum development.

Modes of Assessment

Analysis:

1. Examine the k to 12 curriculum. What aspects do you want to modify? And why?

The only problem was the way it was implemented. There’s no problem with the program
itself. If the implementation of the program was studied carefully, such debacle could have
been addressed. The rushing of the K-12 program was not needed actually, despite of it
being long overdue as many claimed. Adding how many years is not the issue, the problem
is how the government prepared its agencies and schools to address the changes. It was a
rushed project and right now we are suffering from its setbacks.

2. What curriculum models do you prefer? Why?

I prepare learner centered curriculum where the intent is student be active, responsible
participants in their own learning and with their own pace of learning.

3. What are the distinct characteristics of your designed curriculum that would help
improve the 21st century skills and competencies of your learners?

To poster the right attitude for our students to cope with global competency.

4. Why do you think we have to change the curriculum from time to time?

Curriculum shouldn’t be stagnant it should be updated based on global competency.

INSIGHTS AND REFLECTION

What insights and reflection can you derive from this specific field study experience?

Development of the curriculum is not just writing something in paper then implement it, it
needs to be studied well, research well and implement it in proper and right time to have the
best yet effective curriculum.

CLOSING DISCUSSION

State five key learning points that you were able to capture in this field study.

1. Development of curriculum shouldn’t be stagnant

2. Traditional (manual) Progressive (Automatic)
3. Teachers should be facilitator
4. Teachers are the driver for students to have proper learning
5. Research is important
