It simply means that our education system should fit with the needs of the time and
serve a purpose. Ultimately, these curricular decisions should be made by our society
to fit our needs, rather than by individual teachers, school buildings, or districts.
It means that a curriculum should preserve the past, but not be limited by it. Also,
our education system should fit with the needs of the time and serve a purpose.
The difference is that the term training implies the act of imparting a special skill or
behavior to a person, which is commonly offered to employees of operational level.
While education, is a process of systematic learning something in an institution that
develops a sense of judgment and reasoning in employees. And to add, training is
undertaken in the hopes of gaining a specific skill. Generally, this skill will make you
more employable. While education is undertaken in the hopes of furthering your
individual knowledge and developing your intellect.
Visit a classroom other than your own with permission from the teacher. (Elem,
High School, College).
Focus your observation and interview on the presence or absence of the seven types
of curricula and their descriptions.
SELF-CHECK
Read each statement and decide weather you Agree or Disagree. Write your
answer before each number.
Agree 2. It is a reality that there exist more than one curricula in the teacher’s
classroom.
Agree 3. A teacher can say with confidence that learning has occurred, if the
curriculum has been assessed.
Agree 6. Teachers should expect that school curricula are dynamic and changing.
Agree 8. Textbooks and modules are written curricula that represent the recommended
curricula.
Agree 10. In the heart of all the types of curricula, the teacher has a major roles.
SELF-REFLECT
Yes. Because creating and managing a curriculum is one of the most important
functions of a teacher, all teachers must be familiar with school curricula.
Besides, a curriculum is of great help for the teacher to be guided on what to teach
their learners. There is also other topic that is a pre-requisite before teaching higher
order topics or skills. A recommended curriculum is also very important so students
will have an aligned learning per year level and so the teacher will know how much
time is allotted on teaching theories before she can teach the practical or laboratory
works if there is.

Circle YES or NO that will correspond to your self-assessment. Then rank the items
which you answered YES. Which activity do you do most of the time? What activity
do you do least of the time?
Case 7: At the end of the year, my performance as a teacher is reflected in the school
performance of my students. So, I need to provide a monitoring tool to measure how
they are progressing. The result will inform me how I will address my learners’
weakness and enhance their strengths.
EVALUATOR (EVALUATES THE CURRICULUM)
Case 8: I am teaching in a very far away barangay with no electricity yet. Many of the
instructional aids for teaching sent to our school are films and video tapes which need
power. I cannot use them, but the lessons are very important. So, I thought of making
an alternative activity. I took my class to the river and waterfall instead of doing the
lesson.
INNOVATOR (INNOVATES THE CURRICULUM)
Case 9: My principal asked me to attend a write shop to make the lesson exemplars in
the teaching of science in Grade 7. In the workshop, I used my experiences as a
science teacher for ten years, and my knowledge of the subject matter. At the end of
three days, I was able to produce lesson exemplars which I am proud of

SELF-REFLECT
Pick up a daily newspaper and read today’s headline. Choose one and reflect on
this headline that relates to curriculum and to your becoming a curricularist. Write
your answer in at least two paragraphs.
Food insecurity can be linked to other issues such as malnutrition, illness,
homelessness, or addiction, necessitating a creative, thoughtful, and community-driven
approach to addressing it. People who are giving back or passing it on. The poor are
assisting the poor. Giving without expecting anything in return
This led me to realize that establishing community pantries and becoming a
curricularist share many similarities, and that we can apply this to becoming a
curricularist. Teachers, like these institutions, must be creative in how they implement
curriculum. This could include novel teaching methods such as incorporating social
media into lesson plans and providing adequate assistance to students who are lacking.

SELF-CHECK
1. Describe the model of curriculum development which you understood best. Write in
two paragraphs.
Tyler's model of curriculum development had the four basic principles that I
understood best. Its illustrious educational career resulted in significant contributions
to educational policy and practice. His impact was felt most strongly in the field of
testing, where he transformed the concept of measurement into a grander concept, he
called evaluation; and in the field of curriculum, where he designed a rationale for
curriculum planning in the realm of educational policy.
Tyler recognizes a problem in the selection of learning experiences by a teacher. The
issue is that a learning experience is the interaction between a student and her
environment. That is, the learning experience is influenced to some extent by the
students' perceptions, interests, and prior experiences. As a result, a learning
experience is not entirely within the teacher's control. Regardless, Tyler believes that
the teacher has control over the learning experience through manipulation of the
environment, resulting in stimulating situations that elicit the desired type of learning
outcomes.
SELF-REFLECT
1. What phase of the curriculum process do you find very important as a teacher?
Why?
All phases of the curriculum process are important, but in my opinion, curriculum
planning is far more important than the others because it addresses some of the
questions that must be addressed to define the issue. This includes methods for
identifying gaps in knowledge and practice trends emerging from data; a process for
prioritizing needs; and identification of target audience characteristics, which I believe
are the most important things to consider in the curriculum process.

Indiana on February 16, 1876. Bobbitt graduated in 1901 from the Indiana University.
[1]
He first worked in several rural schools in Indiana.
From 1903 to 1907, Bobbitt was a teacher at the Philippine Normal School in Manila.
He went to the Philippines as part of a member of a committee sent to draw up an
elementary school curriculum for the islands. They had the freedom to form an
original curriculum to fit the needs of the population. At first, they put together
American textbooks which they had been familiar with in United States schools, but a
director of education in the Philippines made them look this over. When they saw that
their idea did not fit with the social realities, they discarded their original plan. This
time they drew up a plan with a variety of things to help the people gain health, make
a living, and enjoy self-realization. They got away from the American textbooks and
found activities derived from the Philippine culture. This is when Bobbitt realized that
there were more useful solutions to forming a curriculum than just using traditional
beliefs.
Bobbitt went on and received a PhD from Clark University in 1909. From 1909 until
his retirement in 1941, Bobbitt worked as faculty at the University of Chicago.
He felt that the curriculum was a way to prepare students for their future roles in the
new industrial society. He influenced the curriculum by showing how teaching
classical subjects should be replaced by teaching subjects that correspond to social
needs. In 1918, Bobbitt wrote The Curriculum: a summary of the development
concerning the theory of the curriculum. This became an official specialization in the
education sciences. The entrance point of a curriculum was, according to Bobbitt, to
see which results must be accomplished.
Bobbitt felt that the curriculum must adapt to the needs of an individual and to the
needs of the new industrial society, people should not be taught what they would never
use. They should only learn those skills which were necessary to fulfill their personal
tasks. Education was according to Bobbitt primarily a preparation for adulthood and
not for childhood or youth. This resulted in an early differentiation in education.
Bobbitt was not a supporter of coeducation. In his view girls had a very different
future than boys, so they did not need the same sort of education.

William Heard Kilpatrick (November 20, 1871 – February 13, 1965) was an
American pedagogue and a pupil, a colleague and a successor of John Dewey (1859–
1952). Kilpatrick was a major figure in the progressive education movement of the
early 20th century.
Kilpatrick was born in White Plains, Georgia. He had an orthodox upbringing and was
educated at Mercer University and Johns Hopkins University where he later became a
mathematics teacher at High School and at Mercer University. He first met John
Dewey in 1898 and again met him in 1907. Kilpatrick decided to make philosophy of
education his specialty and attended all courses given by Dewey at Teachers College,
Columbia University. From this developed a cooperation, which persisted up to
Dewey's death in 1952. Both men's ideas directly impacted the 1932 founding
of Bennington College in Vermont: they were both on the original College Board of
Trustees, with Kilpatrick soon becoming President of the Board, and two of the
original 12 houses on campus are named after them.
His first teaching job was at Blakely Institute, a combined elementary and secondary
public school in southwest Georgia, required that he attend a July 1892 summer at
Rock College Normal School, Athens, GA. There he learned of the educational
theories of German educator Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel (1782-1852),
kindergarten founder and learning-through-play advocate. He again studied at Johns
Hopkins University, summer 1895, then taught seventh grade and was principal at
Anderson Elementary School, Savannah, GA, 1896–97. He was at Mercer University,
1897–1906, taught mathematics, was vice-president, 1900, and acting president, 1904–
06, but resigned when the trustees were concerned about his doubting the virgin birth
of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.
In 1907-1909 Kilpatrick was a student in Teachers College at Columbia University
(New York City), where he took courses in history of education under Paul
Monroe[2] (1869-1947), philosophy of education under John Angus
[3] [4]
MacVannel (1871-1915), psychology under Edward Lee Thorndike (1874-1949),
and philosophy under Frederick James Eugene Woodbridge[5] (1867-1940) and John
Dewey. In 1908 Kilpatrick wrote in his diary: "Professor Dewey has made a great
difference in my thinking." Dewey wrote to MacVannel and said the following about
Kilpatrick: "He is the best [student] I ever had." [6] Dewey was Kilpatrick's most
important professor and mentor while Kilpatrick was a student at Teachers College.
Kilpatrick spent his professional career and the rest of his long life at Teachers
College, Columbia University (TCCU), where he was instructor in history of
education (1909-1911), received a Ph.D. in 1911 with his thesis (supervised by Paul
Monroe) titled The Dutch Schools of New Netherland and Colonial New
York (published in 1912 in various editions), was assistant professor of philosophy of
education (1911–1915), associate professor of philosophy of education (1915–1918),
full professor of philosophy of education (1918–1937), and emeritus professor
thereafter.
Kilpatrick's 1st wife was Mary (Marie) Beman Guyton (November 12, 1874 - May 29,
1907). William and Mary married on December 27, 1898, and they had three children.
William's 2nd wife was Margaret Manigault Pinckney (December 4, 1861 - November
24, 1938). William and Margaret were married on November 26, 1908. William's 3rd
and final marriage was to Marion Isabella Ostrander (December 23, 1891 - January 29,
1975) on May 8, 1940, she is having been his secretary.
After retiring from TCCU, 1937, he was president of the New York Urban League,
1941–51; chairman of American Youth for World Youth, 1946–51; chairman of the
Bureau of International Education, 1940–51.
Kilpatrick had several critics but many more admirers and followers. His eighty-fifth
birthday, November 20, 1956, celebrated at Horace Mann Auditorium, TCCU,
resulted in a special March 1957 issue of Progressive Education, "William Heard
Kilpatrick Eighty-Fifth Anniversary," containing 10 articles. Both heralded and
criticized as John Dewey's chief educational interpreter, Kilpatrick was a leading
advocate of progressive education. He died after a long illness at age 93 on February
13, 1965 in New York.
Kilpatrick developed the Project Method for early childhood education, which was a
form of Progressive Education that organized curriculum and classroom activities
around a subject's central theme. He believed that the role of a teacher should be that
of a "guide" as opposed to an authoritarian figure. Kilpatrick believed that children
should direct their own learning according to their interests and should be allowed to
explore their environment, experiencing their learning through the natural senses.
[7]
Proponents of Progressive Education and the Project Method reject traditional
schooling that focuses on memorization, rote learning, strictly organized classrooms
(desks in rows; students always seated), and typical forms of assessment. He has been
described as a developmentalist.
Kilpatrick published Foundations Of Method - Informal Talks On Teaching in 1925.

Cluster 4 – Sociological Foundations
David Émile Durkheim (French: [emil dyʁkɛm] or [dyʁkajm]; 15 April 1858 – 15
November 1917) was a French sociologist. Durkheim formally established the
academic discipline of sociology and is commonly cited as one of the principal
architects of modern social science, along with both Karl Marx and Max Weber.
Much of Durkheim's work was concerned with how societies can maintain
their integrity and coherence in modernity, an era in which traditional social and
religious ties are much less universal, and in which new social institutions have come
into being. Durkheim's conception of the scientific study of society laid the
groundwork for modern sociology, and he used such scientific tools
as statistics, surveys, and historical observation in his analysis of suicides in Catholic
and Protestant groups. His first major sociological work was De la division du travail
social (1893; The Division of Labour in Society), followed in 1895 by Les Règles de la
méthode sociologique (The Rules of Sociological Method), the same year in which
Durkheim set up the first European department of sociology and became France's first
professor of sociology. Durkheim's seminal monograph, Le Suicide (1897), a study
of suicide rates in Catholic and Protestant populations, especially pioneered
modern social research, serving to distinguish social science
from psychology and political philosophy. The following year, in 1898, he established
the journal L'Année Sociologique. Les formes élémentaires de la vie
religieuse (1912; The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life) presented a theory of
religion, comparing the social and cultural lives of aboriginal and modern societies.
Durkheim was deeply preoccupied with the acceptance of sociology as a
legitimate science. He refined the positivism originally set forth by Auguste Comte,
promoting what could be considered as a form of epistemological realism, as well as
the use of the hypothetico-deductive model in social science. For Durkheim, sociology
was the science of institutions, understanding the term in its broader meaning as the
"beliefs and modes of behaviour instituted by the collectivity," with its aim being to
discover structural social facts. As such, Durkheim was a major proponent
of structural functionalism, a foundational perspective in both sociology
and anthropology. In his view, social science should be purely holistic in the sense that
sociology should study phenomena attributed to society at large, rather than being
limited to the study of specific actions of individuals.

Alvin Eugene Toffler (October 4, 1928 – June 27, 2016) was an American
writer, futurist, and businessman known for his works discussing modern
technologies, including the digital revolution and the communication revolution, with
emphasis on their effects on cultures worldwide. He is regarded as one of the world's
outstanding futurists.
Toffler was an associate editor of Fortune magazine. In his early works he focused on
technology and its impact, which he termed "information overload." In 1970, his first
major book about the future, Future Shock, became a worldwide best-seller and has
sold over 6 million copies.
He and his wife Heidi Toffler, who collaborated with him for most of his writings,
moved on to examining the reaction to changes in society with another best-selling
book, The Third Wave in 1980. In it, he foresaw such technological advances as
cloning, personal computers, the Internet, cable television and mobile communication.
His later focus, via their other best-seller, Powershift, (1990), was on the increasing
power of 21st-century military hardware and the proliferation of new technologies.
He founded Toffler Associates, a management consulting company, and was a visiting
scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation, visiting professor at Cornell University,
faculty member of the New School for Social Research, a White House correspondent,
and a business consultant. Toffler's ideas and writings were a significant influence on
the thinking of business and government leaders worldwide, including China's Zhao
Ziyang, and AOL founder Steve Case.
Toffler has received several prestigious prizes and awards, including the McKinsey
Foundation Book Award for Contributions to Management Literature, Officier
de L'Ordre des Arts et Lettres, and appointments, including Fellow of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science and the International Institute for
Strategic Studies.
In 2006, Alvin and Heidi Toffler were recipients of Brown University's Independent
Award.

Answer briefly:
1. Which one principle of Oliva is reflected in the Lesson Plan? Explain briefly.
The principle of Oliva that is reflected in the Lesson Plan is that curriculum change
depends on the people who will implement the change. A teacher can always just
choose to follow the traditional way of teaching which is usually teachers only gives
overview of the lesson through theoretical learning. However, I opted to let them
watch a video related to our topic and aside from that I have shown them that I know
the topic myself and provided my own demonstration so students will imitate me and
it is easier for them to learn knowing that there is someone who they can always ask
to.

10. Is there only one design that a teacher should know? NO
SELF-REFLECT
Instruction: Provide answer to the incomplete sentences. After reading and discussing
with my classmates, this lesson on fundamentals of curriculum designing or crafting a
curriculum.
1. I realize that
Before creating a curriculum, a teacher must consider the available resources in the
environment. If the study is required and appropriate in today's society because a
relevant curriculum should respond to changes brought about by current social forces,
philosophical teachers came from the book, and this design mostly corresponds to the
textbook. Most institutions that use this strategy strive for excellence in subject matter
content, which I believe is not right or good for students. Children are also human
beings with feelings and emotions. Using this approach is somewhat correct in some
ways, and this design only aims to teach children, but I must say that it should not be
the only way. Teachers, perhaps?
2. I feel that
Creating a curriculum that considers both the children and the teachers should be
really considered the next time there will be curriculum changes. Aside from that, the
higher ups should also consider the facilities of the schools, especially those who are
in the provinces. They should further expand their thoughts into thinking if that certain
change is applicable in all schools and consider its further outcome.
3. I need to
As a teacher I need to further study about the different curriculum so I can make my
teaching much better. Consider the current curriculum and align my lessons
accordingly.

Activity 1 – The K to 12 Curriculum: What Design?
Get hold of materials about the K-12. Discuss with your groupmates and answer the
following:
SELF-CHECK
Identify what kind of design and approach are utilized in the following descriptions.
1. Only students who master the subject content can succeed
SUBJECT CENTERED DESIGN
5. Teacher extends class because the children have not mastered the lesson.
LEARNER CENTERED DESIGN
1. Choose one statement and reflect on it. What do you think and feel about it?
Write your answer in not less than 4 paragraphs.
Statement No. 1 – “Schools that approach the curriculum as subject0centered,
make robot out of the students.”
Statement No. 2 – “In schools where child-centeredness is the approach,
discipline is weak.
Statement No. 3 – “Students are too young to solve life’s problem, why should
they do problem solving in school?”
I chose the statement "schools that approach the curriculum as subject-centered, turn
students into robots." I couldn't agree more with the statement because the subject-
centered approach is a strategy in which most of the teachers' ideas come from the
book and this design is mostly based on textbooks. Most institutions that use this
strategy strive for excellence in subject matter content, which I believe is not right or
good for students. Children are human beings with feelings and emotions. Using this
approach is somewhat correct in some ways, and this design only aims for the children
to learn, but it should not be the only way. Maybe teachers should teach.

1. Using the sample A1 for Science Curriculum Map, what knowledge and
understanding have you learned? Analyze the matrix and answer the questions that
follow:
1.1 What are the main clusters of science content that students should learn from G3 to
G10?
The main clusters of science content that students should learn from G3 to G10
are Matter, Living Things and Their Environment, Force, Motion, Energy and Earth
and Space.
1.2 How does science content progress from Grade 3 to Grade 10?
The students will see the same contents or related topics across the grade levels
from Grade 3 to Grade 10, but as they encounter the science content, it increasingly
maximizes its level of complexity and reinforces previous learning.
1.3 When you look at and analyze the map, what summary ideas can you give?
As I analyzed the map, I can say Curriculum Mapping helps to determine and
ensure that the teaching is purposefully structured, and the content must be properly
aligned and logically in sequence in teaching the subject or the content across the
grade levels. In involves progression and continuity in learning science.
1.4 Science Curriculum is spiral. How do you explain that in terms of what you see on
the map?
Science curriculum is spiral, in a way that it has a logical progression of the
content from simplistic ideas to complicated ideas. The concepts are presented
repeatedly but it has the level of complexity throughout the curriculum from different
grade levels. It also requires the deepening of it, with each successive encounter
building on the previous one.
2.2 What is your interpretation of the colored cell with “Learned” that crossed between
subject Social Dimension and PO5, Facilitate learning of different types of learners in
diverse learning environment?
My interpretation of the colored cell with “learned” that crossed between
subject social dimensions and PO5, facilitate learning of different types of learners in
diverse learning environment is that as they may be confronted with learners from
various backgrounds and can provide equal opportunity, it has been taught or gained
on how to integrate students from various backgrounds to create a community with
less boundary’s dependent on social, economic, or cultural distinctions.
2.3 What does the colored “Opportunity” in the cell of the subject Curriculum
Development that crosses with the P06 “Direct experience in the field and Classroom”
(observations, teaching assistance, practice teaching)?
The colored “Opportunity” in the cell subject curriculum development that
crosses with PO6 “Direct experience in the field and classroom” indicates that they
do not have sufficient knowledge of the subject but have been granted the opportunity
to study and practice to improve their performance. Teachers should be taught about
how to properly train themselves for authentic teaching conditions, and how to
experience personal progress and empowerment through the curriculum-development
process.
SELF-CHECK
Make a wise decision. Show me that you understood the lesson. Answer the following
questions with Yes or No and discuss your answer by citing evidence.
1. Does curriculum mapping help a teacher what to accomplish within the period of
time?
Yes, curriculum mapping does help the teacher understand what to accomplish
within the given period. It enables teachers and administrators to concentrate on
achieving a consistency of content through curricula. It enables us to observe what
children learn in each classroom and collect data on redundancies or differences in
course material. Teachers may use curriculum mapping to determine the course
layout as well as the time-scale schedule for when lessons or topics are learned.
3. Can a curriculum map help explain to parents what their children are learning in
school?
Yes, curriculum map provides detailed information on what the children are
learning in school and lists the results and content discussed in and subject field.
Parents are kept updated of their goals for students work as individual teachers or
teaching teams exchange curriculum maps with them. It helps them become better
informed about what is expected of them in the classroom.
SELF-REFLECT
Reflect on the process of curriculum mapping and the sample curriculum map in this
lesson. As a future teacher, how will the process of mapping and the map as a tool
help you in your profession? (State your answer in not less than 4 paragraphs)
1. Study the beginning teacher indicators in the PPST. As a pre-service teacher, list the
beginning teacher indicators that you have already acquired as a result of your teacher
education training. Share your answers with your seatmate.
Among the beginning teacher indicators in the PPST, the beginning teacher
indicators that I’ve already acquired as a pre-service teacher are the following:
1.1.1 Demonstrate content knowledge and its application within and/or across the
curriculum teaching areas.
2.1.1 Demonstrate knowledge of policies, guideline and procedures that provide safe
and secure learning environments.
Concepts Meaning/Description
SELF-REFLECT
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? Or why not? Write your answer in the box.
My Response to Curriculum Implementation
The Curriculum serves as a guide for a teacher when dealing with a large
number of students, and without it, a teacher's goal is not measurable. My response is
that I will understand and analyze the given changes because, even if there is a
change, no one can play the role of a teacher because a teacher is always a teacher.
As a teacher educator, I would be willing to accept new curriculum changes if they
were made. As part of the curriculum change, I will be the one to advise my students
on what knowledge they should adopt and gain in a given period of time. Even if
changes occur, the teacher retains the authority to transform the curriculum into an
interactive experience.

QUESTION for REFLECTION: Reflect on this question and answer below.
If all the stakeholders contribute positively to curriculum implementation, do you
think, curriculum change, or development will succeed? Why? Or why not?
This will be successful in our opinion because all stakeholders will be able to
make changes or additions to our curriculum. Were they able to keep a reasonable
amount of tax? We couldn't let it go, but they will, and if they are brave enough to
share and put it into action, it will be a success. They are the ones who can determine
whether the program is appropriate for their skills and interests. Student
representatives who they believe represent the future of the country will be evaluated
to determine whether the proposal is beneficial.
It is expected that they will serve as the motivating factors for youngsters who
obtain a college degree in the future. "Interest groups" are those who are directly or
indirectly affected by the success of a school system. Government officials, school
board members, administrators, and teachers are all included. Not only do they assist
individuals in need, but they also make significant contributions to the curriculum, the
school, and the community.

Reflect on the information given by the teacher in your interview above.
“Is the teacher’s life a series of planning, implementing, and evaluating? Will this
improve teaching? Why?
Being a student, I can see that all of my teachers always plan ahead what will be
taught to all of their students. They plan to prevent confusion and chaos to all the
learners as the school days are starting.
I can say that it is true that teacher’s life is a series of planning, implementing and
evaluating. First planning, teachers planned ahead to make sure that teaching and
learning process would be a success to all the students. This plan is implemented to
know if the plan works. And implementation is aligned with evaluation for the
sureness that if the plan is truly effective to used and can be continue using.
Yes, planning, implementing and evaluating improves teaching because in doing these
steps it let the teacher develop more their abilities and skills to do their job perfectly.

If you interviewed about K to 12, what ten ideas or concepts can you tell?
SELF REFLECT
Reflect on the statement below and comment:
“The K to 12 is bound to fail because it is implemented hurriedly without
thorough planning.”
All things that were not planned well surely have the possibility to fail. Just like
the K to 12 education it was implemented without proper planning and so some deems
it as a failure. Well, for me, it is. K to 12 was implemented to pattern the education
system of other countries. It was made so the graduates of senior high school will be
accepted for a job as long as he or she is already of legal age. However, after two
years of implementation where in the first batch since senior high school was
implemented has graduated, most of the students were not accepted for a job. Simply
because the standards of the companies in the Philippines has not yet changed, they
were not yet willing to accept those graduates since they still prefer college graduates.
This could have been a better program if only the government has made better
planning.

student there were lots of things that were not taught in school that was asked during
my on-the-job training. Because of that I instilled to my mind that when I become an
educator, I will make sure to teach was is being asked when you are already in the

The changes that take place in Education 4.0 really describe the learning preference
of the Gen Z students. According to the above-mentioned sharing session, it is not
impossible for a language course to adapt to the changes brought about by the IR 4.0
wave. It is past time for teachers to consider incorporating more current technologies
into their lessons. This will allow teachers to be more creative in designing their
lessons, making learning more interesting.
It is past time for teachers to consider incorporating more modern technologies
into their lessons. This will allow teachers to be more creative in designing their
lessons, making learning more interesting. Learning can also be more effective as the
way it is delivered matches the Gen Z students, preferences. The flipped classroom
approach has enabled the class instructor to plan the learning activities in such a way
that can support the Social Emotional Learning of the students as well. The learning
activities in this cause incorporate the 14 strategies for SEL as outlined in the World
Economic Forum report. In short, instructors should embrace Education 4.0 because
it will benefit not only students but also language instructors, who will have greater

D. Industry 4.0 The boom on the Internet and telecommunication industry in the
1990’2 revolutionized the way we connected and exchanged information.
3. Among the various curriculum delivery modes, which will be most effective in
your particular setting in times of crisis? Why?
Since I am teaching in the City, the Online learning is highly effective since you
are still able to connect with the students. You can still give instruction and activities
as if they are still together in one room. GCs are highly available where students can
communicate. However, it is only feasible for those who have gadgets and internet
connections. Modular was also an effective way only if the students are already an
independent learner and can follow instructions.

Competencies (MELCs)
SELF REFLECT
Do you need to have crisis to think of decongesting curriculum for greater focus on the
most essential? Should this happen only in times of crisis like COVID?
Is there such a thing as best flexible learning option?
Yes. Flexible learning should be an option. This kind of decongestion should not
only be given emphasis during pandemic. It should have been done way back before to
upgrade the curriculum. There are some topics or courses that is no longer relevant
on the present time, so it was only high time to give emphasis on what to give more in

1. What are the emerging challenges in the flexible teaching and learning
modality during the time of pandemic?
As a teacher during pandemic era one of the challenges that I have
encountered, in terms of learning, students who excel are only those who are already
independent learners. For those who are dependent learners it took them by storm and
so they asked help from their parents/guardians to answer some, if not all their
activities. And it is highly evident for when face to face resumed most of the honor
students during pandemic do not even remember the topics that were taught before.
While relating to teaching, teachers need to be more creative on her presentation and
be more spontaneous on having her online lessons. I even came to the point where I
used my personal money so I can entice my students through external rewarding by
giving them load or item prices just to make sure they will still join out next online
session. As for the modular delivery, it was physically exhausting since some learners
do not follow the scheduled submission, and if they do, modules are most of the time
submitted unanswered or unfinished. Teachers will sometimes come to the point as to
get their learning kits outside of the school gate one by one and there are even points
where teachers need to deliver the modules on the students’ home. One of the
exhausting parts are the never ending giving of instructions since students somehow
lose understanding of simple instructions.
SELF REFLECT
This was the news all over the world regarding the Covid 19 2022 Pandemic era. It
was a mess. A disaster. An unexpected tur out of events. One blink of an eye and
suddenly people were no longer allowed to go out from their own homes. People die
because of some simple flu that has an unexpected twist of other side of illnesses that
comes along with it resulting to other people who succumbed to their death beds. It
was pure hell. Once you get infected you were no longer able to see your family until
you recover. Luckily for some they did. However, to those who already has an
underlying respiratory illness it was a different story. It may be a simple flu to some,
asymptomatic and in no pain even if was deemed positive. But for those who have
respiratory illness it was a matter of life and death, for the children and for the old
people. Some of the died alone. Through time and different programs people
recovered, the economy recovered. However, the education system that was stopped
and made a sudden change in delivering modalities I wonder when will we recover?
The student lose confidence. They were scared to go back to school. They were
bombarded with what is really schooling and learning was all about. As to when will
that end remains a question for many.

Since I am already a teacher during pandemic, I would still prefer the blended
learning which is online and modular learning. Online learning reaches those
students who have available gadget and internet connection. While modular learning
reaches those who do not access to devices. However, both kind of modality would
still need teachers’ supervision in facilitating their progress.

SubYes, I believe what I have learned now will be useful in the future because
everything taught in school is for students to learn and apply in the future.
Curriculum may change, but it does not completely shift from one concept to another.
It was simply improved to adopt the new generation and a new environment that is
more technological than traditional.
In Statement No.
1- “Schools that approach the
curriculum as subject-centered,
make robots out
of the students.”
Statement No. 2-
“In schools where child-
centeredness is the approach,
discipline is
weak.”
Statement No. 3-
“Students are too young to solve
life's problem, why should
they do problem
solving in school?"
I choose the statement
“school’s that approach the
curriculum as subject- centered,
make robots out
of the students”. I couldn’t agree
more to the statement since the
subjects- centered approach is a
kind of
strategy that most of the thoughts
of the teachers came from the
book and this design corresponds
mostly to the textbooks. Most
institutions using this kind of
strategy aims for excellence in
the subject
matter content which I thought is
not right or good for students.
Children are also human beings
who
have feelings & emotions too.
Using this approach is somewhat
right in some aspects too and that
this
design only aims for the children
to learn but I must say that it
shouldn’t be the only way.
Perhaps
teachers must teach them with
love for them to be motivated to
learn on themselves
