On Mrs. Jackie-lou B. Belciña, an academic teacher from Dalaguete National High School. It is more of a
content guide for teachers on the essential topics that they have to teach to a learner. She also points outs that
a curriculum is best based on standards that are realistic, practical, and flexible. Realistic for it has to be attainable
by the students, Practical is that it has to be relevant to the subject. Flexible, it has to be flexible because
nowadays, there are these fast-changing trends in the current world we live in.

As for Mr. Gerald T. Taraya, a technology teacher from Dalaguete National High School. He also points
out that a curriculum is a set of standards and guides on the essential topics that they have to convey to the
students. On his side, as a technology teacher, he mentioned that a curriculum contains basic competencies to
be attained by a student in the teaching-learning process. Through experiences during the teaching-learning
process, a student’s outcomes may be fully equipped technologically and globally competitive.

As for For. Lebert I. Omac, my former colleague in the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources – 7, also mentioned that a curriculum is a set of learning programs that are used to guide teachers
and learners, as well as measure the learner’s experiences during their learning process. It means that a student’s
experiences during their studies are also essential in gaining knowledge and skills.

For Ms. Shen Lovelle M. Belciña, a Medical Technology student at Southwestern University-PHINMA. For
her, Curriculum is simply a course that should be followed in an educational program offered by a school.

Based on the answers I got from the different persons I interviewed. The curriculum for the academic
teacher, technology teacher, non-teaching employee, and non-education college students’ point of view is
interrelated. Inter-related because based on their response they have stated that curriculum is a set of standards
that guides the teaching-learning process. They may have different points of view about the Curriculum but to
simplify it all, Curriculum is an essential guide for the teaching-learning process.
