A.Discuss the meaning of curriculum.

Answer: Curriculum from the latin word “curricula”, meaning “running course”. The
courses offered by an educational institution. A set of courses constituting an area of
specialization. Is at the heart of the teaching profession are some of the definitions of
curriculum.

B.Describe the different steps in knowing the curriculum

Answer:The first step in this process requires getting teachers to share their curriculum
with other teachers in the school. During a schoolwide meeting, teachers from each
grade level summarize their curriculum on chart paper for science, social studies,
language arts, and mathematics. Special area teachers write their curriculum on chart
paper as well, so their colleagues can understand the development of skills and
concepts across grade levels.After all charts have been completed, grade level and
special area teachers share their curriculum with the entire faculty and describe some of
the teaching lessons/units they use to teach that curriculum.Teachers take notes and
discuss apparent gaps and repetitions.They also discuss grade-level responsibilities.
Curricular terms and content that appear on several grade levels are defined

C.Explain how to develop a curriculum map.

Answer:Curriculum mapping is the next step in the process.During this step, teachers
re-examine the sequence and emphases of the curriculum.When all the curriculum
areas have been mapped, the information can be placed on a
preprinted file folder that lists all required subject areas on the side and the months
across the top. The file folder provides a detailed look at all subject areas and provides
clear articulation between special areas and classroom teachers. It’s also an excellent
resource for new teachers or teachers who are changing grade levels.

D.Elucidate the webbing of a curriculum.

Answer:As the curriculum takes shape, teachers are encouraged to look at the different
disciplines for common ideas, complementary skills/strategies, or other links that might
be used to create a logical connections between and among the different disciplines. In
this way, a ;curriculum web,which spells out the connections, can be created.During the
webbing process, many more objectives/standards will be identified than will be used.
The brainstorming provides a valuable source of ideas and may be revisited again and
again to refine the curricular links.
E.What is the nature of the curriculum?
Answer:Most people believe that the curriculum is comprised solely of the formal series
of courses that students take as they proceed through the educational system. These
courses include,among others, the sciences, mathematics, language arts, social
studies, and physical education. Some other people assert a broader notion of
curriculum, including the formal learnings students are exposed to through these
courses. These learnings include, among others, reading, writing, and reasoning.

F.Explain the nature of the curriculum.

Answer:The curriculum; includes both the formal and informal courses and learnings
believed to provide the necessary foundation young persons need if they are to develop
into responsible adult citizens.however, these formal and informal courses and
learnings are not the curriculum, technically speaking. The curriculum includes much
more and is much broader and more inclusive than all of these notions suggest.

G.Discuss the different curricula in schools.

Answer:Written Curriculum. This includes documents based on the recommended
curriculum. They come in a form of course of study, syllabi, modules, books,
instructional guides among others.
Taught Curriculum. The taught curriculum will depend largely on the teaching style of
the teacher and learning style of the learner.
Supported Curriculum. It is described as support materials that the teacher needs to
make learning and teaching meaningful. This includes print materials or non-print
materials.
Assessed Curriculum. Taught and supported curricula have to evaluated to find out if
the teacher has succeeded or not in facilitating learning.
•Assessment for Learning – if the process is to find the progress of learning.
•Assessment of Learning – if it is to find out how much has been learned or mastered
the lesson.
Learned Curriculum. These are measured by tools in assessment, which can indicate
cognitive, affective, and psychomotor outcomes.
Hidden / Implicit Curriculum. This curriculum is not deliberately planned but has a great
impact on the behavior of the learner. Peer influence, school environment, media,
parental pressures, societal changes, cultural practices, natural calamities are some
factors that create the hidden curriculum.
A.What are the attributes of a curricularist?
Answer:The attributes of a curricularist is involved in curriculum knowing, writing,
planning,implementing, evaluating, innovating, and initiating.

B.Explain the purpose of curriculum

Answer:The purpose of the curriculum outside of the school, as culture and society set
the broad and general framework that guides schooling. Culture and society, then,
identify what the purpose of the curriculum is, namely, that which will bring a full sense
of the self to awareness or realization through the schooling process.

C. Explain why the practice of the curriculum is internal to the school.

Answer:Curriculum practice consists not only of what teachers and students engage in
together within the school but also, and perhaps more importantly, the professional
judgments teachers render about how they will translate what is external to the school
the purpose and substance of the Curriculum into experiences that will effect
psychological changes in students (Tyler,1949) at the cognitive, affective, and
psychomotor domains (Bloom 1984a,b)

D..What is the intention of the school curriculum?

Answer:Curriculum is the dynamic interaction of the purpose, the substance, and the
practice of curriculum as these elements coalesce in schools, especially the concrete
educational experiences that make it possible for young persons to become aware of or
to realize a full sense of self in its transcendent, aesthetic, physical, social, emotional,
and intellectual dimensions.

E.Describe the substantive challenges to the instructional leaders

Answer:The first challenge---perhaps the most daunting---is that instructional leaders
must endeavor to foster those conditions that will enable teachers to move away from
focusing exclusively upon the particular academic discipline or area they teach.While
The second challenge follows from the first that is instructional leaders must assist
teachers to consider this subject which the community of educators seeks to form and
inform through their various professional judgments.

F.Discuss the different endeavors faced by the instructional leaders.

Answer:Instructional leaders should use the tools of reflective practice to examine the
breadth and depth of the curriculum experience offered in their classrooms.Perhaps the
best place for instructional leaders to initiate a program of school-wide professional
growth and development for teachers is to examine the curriculum experience they
offer students within their own classroom.
Instructional leaders should work with teachers to focus on their own personal
experiences of transcendence within their disciplines. The instructional leaders
goal should be to help teachers learn how to teach from their own transcendent
experiences so that, in turn, teachers will be more capable of awakening within
their students an awareness of the transcendent.
Instructional leaders should work with teachers to introduce their students to what is
true, beautiful, and good in their disciplinesThe instructional leader's goal is to
assist teachers in learning how to introduce their students to the complex of human
emotion,intellect, and recalled experiences that enable one to render valid personal
judgments based upon a conversation with matter.
Instructional leaders should work with teachers to realize that the physical self is
a positive aspect of one’s humanity. The instructional leader’s goal is to awaken
teachers to the pernicious evil that threatens many young persons who are
growing up in a materialist culture and capitalist society, namely, the need for
social approval of one’s physical appearance.
Instructional leaders should work with teachers to enable their students to grasp
the human endeavors that lie beneath and within their disciplines so as to help
their students to engage in healthy, productive, and mature social relationships.
The instructional leader’s goal is to assist teachers to inculcate in their students an
awareness of the mature attitudes that enhance the proper development of the social
self.
Instructional leaders should work with teachers to use their disciplines to promote and
encourage the didactic, reflective, and affective dimensions of classroom discourse. The
instructional leader’s goal is to help teachers to use multiple classroom discourses as
propaedeutics for developing their students; emotional maturity. Instructional leaders
can measure success in this endeavor as teachers provide data demonstrating them
working with students to clarify a vocabulary that assigns accurate meaning and depth
to the wide array of responses that students give to their unique and shared
experiences.
Instructional leaders should work with teachers to enable their students to make
the best judgments possible, given the ambiguity present in the actual world. The
instructional leader’s goal is to focus teachers upon assisting their students to
engage in practical problem-solving as problems arise in human experience.
A.Explain the ways in approaching the curriculum.
Answer:First, is to approach it as content or body of knowledge to be transmitted
Second, is to approach as a product or the learning outcomes desired of learnersThird,
is to approach it as a process or what actually happens in the classroom when the
curriculum is practised.

B. Discuss and give examples of ways of presenting the content in curriculum.

Answer;Topical Approach. many contents are based on knowledge and experiences
Example A specific topic is started in a particular class and finished in the same class. A
topic is a comprehensive collection of materials on a specific topic of the particular
subject.
Concept Approach. There are fewer topics in clusters around major and sub concepts
and their interaction, with relatedness emphasized.
Example Learning through abstract conceptualization by developing strategies and
theories
Thematic Approach. a combination of concepts that develops conceptual structures
Example Students may express interest in current popular music. This interest can be
developed into thematic instructional units and lessons that span across time and
cultures, how cultures interact and impact one another, music as a social or political
commentary in social studies or history classes.
Modular Approach leads to complete units of instruction
Example Textbook changes might mean simply changing the page numbers of assigned
readings or reordering the modules to match the new sequence of the textbook
chapters.

C.Identify the criteria in the selection of content. Make research on these criteria
Significance It refers to the contribution(s) to and impact of the study on a research field.
Validity The authenticity of the subject matter, forms itsvalidty. Knowledge becomes
obsolete with the fast changing times..
Utility usefullness of the content in the curriculum is relative the learners who are going
to use these.
Learnability The complexity of the content should be within the range of experiences of
the leaners.
Feasibility Can the subject content be learned within the time allowed, resoures
availlable, expertise of the teachers and the nature of the learners?.
Interest one of the driving force for students to learn better

D.Discuss the guide in the selection of the content in the curriculum.

Guide in the selection of the content in the curriculum
1.Content is commonly used in the daily life.
2.Content is appropriate to the maturity levels and abilities of the learners.
3.Content is valuable in meeting the needs and competencies of the future career.
4.Content is related to other subject fields or discipline for complementation and
integration.
5.Content is important in the transfer of the learning in other disciplines.

E.Discuss the basic principle of curriculum content

Balance Content should be fairly distributed in depth and breadth.
Articulation This assure that there will be no gaps or overlaps in the content.
Sequence The logical arrangement of content.
Integration It has some relatedness or connectedness to other content.
Continuity Curriculum should be perennial and endures time.

F.Explain the guiding principles of the curriculum.

Curriculum processes in the form of teaching methods or strategies are means to
achieve the endThere is no single best process or method. Its effectiveness will depend
on the desired
learning outcomes, the learners, support materials and the teacher.Curriculum process
should stimulate the learners’ desire to develop the cognitive, affective,psychomotor
domains in each individual.
