ANALYZE

Which of the seven types curriculum in the school setting is easy to

find? Why?

Among the seven types of curriculum, Taught Curriculum is the

easiest to find in the school setting. In just a mere observation in the
classroom, taught curriculum is evident. It is the main activity in the
classroom and why students go to school and teachers’ teach and They
were easy to find because these can be found inside the school.

Which is diifficult to observe? Why?

The most difficult to observe is the Hidden Curriculum, because

it is implicitly implemented in the classroom and may not be evident in
every class discussion. However, they are still important factors that
influence the learning although not intentionally planned in the curriculum.

Are these all found in the school setting? How do curricula relate to
one another?

These curricula are all found in the classroom setting. They are the
important elements that compose the school processes. These are the
processes that the teacher should implement to effectively teach the
students. This means, that a teacher cannot proceed to a particular
curriculum without consider-ing the one that precedes it. They influence
each other and should be seen as interrelated factors that influence the
learning.

Draw a diagram to show the relationship of one curriculum to the

other.

Make a reflection on the diagram that you have drawn.

The diagram on the previous page is based my representation of

how the 7 types of Curriculum are related to each other. Recommended
Curriculum is the basis of all types of curricula. K-12 Guidelines issued by
the Department of Education shall be adhered in writing the curriculum or
the lesson plan (LP). The lesson plan must reflect the guidelines
recommended by the DepEd. This will serve as the key to carry out the
plan on the actual teaching. Whatever is written in the les-son plan shall
be considered in the Taught Curriculum. The actual process of teachers’
pedagogy should follow the plan written by the teacher. This also
includes the materials (Supported Curriculum), assessment tools or
activities (Assessed Curriculum), products or outputs that students should
produce/attain at the end of the lesson (Learned Curriculum) and other
factors that contribute to learning including media and community (Hidden
Curriculum). The four (4) mentioned types of curriculum are the
components of the Taught Curriculum. This means that they should be
considered to effectively teach the students or the end user of all the
curricula.`

This activity requires a full lesson observation from Motivation

to Assessment.

Procedure:
1. Secure permit to observe one complete lesson in a particular subject, in
a particular grade/year level.
2. Keep a close watch on the different components of the miniscule
curriculum: the lesson
3. Follow the three major components of a curriculum (Planning,
Implementing, and Evaluating/Assessing ). Observe and record your
observation.

Observe and Record Observation on the Following Aspects

Major Curriculum Observation
Components
a) Based on the lesson plan, the topic that the
A. Planning teacher will discuss is “Oriental Herbal
Nutrient(OHN) preparation”. It has three
objectives: 1Identify use in processing 2)
Process OHN1 base on Philippines National
Standard of organic agriculture production; 3)
Observe safety measure when handling
materials and tools. The teacher will conduct an
activity to introduce the lesson, then
discussion, application of the lesson learned,
independent practice and assignment. The
teacher will be able to evaluate the lesson
through including application activities and
individual task before the closure of the lesson.
B. a) The teacher begun her lesson in the usual class
discussion routine which she greeted the
students and ask them to pray first. Then, to
introduce the lesson, she conducted a
preliminary activity that engaged the whole
class. It was a group activity the re-quires
team work and attentiveness. The students had
fun in doing the activity. After the activity, He
asked the students of what might be their
topic for that day. The students gave their

questions or practice exercises. The lesson

consumed 20 minutes of the 1 hour class period.
C. Evaluating/Assessing a) Based on the scores of the students in the
evaluation and performance on the application
activity, the learning outcomes were achieved.
The teacher adhered her lesson plan, making
her instruction effective and well-organized. The
teacher assessed students through the actual
discussion where they were able to get the idea
of the except, they were able to differentiate
direct and indirect speeches during the practice
exercises and applied their learned
knowledge though the application and
evaluation.

ANALYZE

Write a paragraph based on the data you gathered sing these key
questions?

1. How does the teacher whom you observed compare to the ideal
characteristics or competencies of global quality teachers?

My resource teacher possesses the qualities of a globally

competent teacher. As I have observed, she effectively implemented
her lesson by being flexible, facilitates the instruction creatively through
employing approaches that suits well the needs of the students. She also
pro-motes collaboration and independence among students and she’s a
tech-savvy. She reflects the characteristics of global quality teacher

2. Was the lesson implemented as planned? Describe.

The lesson was implemented as planned because from the

discussion, activities, application and evaluation, the instruction was well-
organized which means that the teacher adhered the lesson plan she have
written.

3. Can you describe the disposition of the teacher after the lesson
was taught? Happy and eager? Satisfied and contented?
Disappointed and exhausted?

I saw through the teacher’s eyes the feeling of satisfaction. He

closed the class session with the smile on her face, an indication of her
happiness that her students learned effectively in the lesson. He was
happy that the students were active, participative and gain high scores in
the evaluation which means they learned the lesson well and they were
able to apply what they have learned from it

4. Can you describe the majority of students’ reaction after the

lesson was taught? Confused? Happy and eager? Contented? No
reactions at all.

Learning Episode 8
 Field Study 1

The aftereffect of the teacher’s lesson made students more eager to

learn in the next subject/lesson. They were motivated and inspired by their
good performance and they felt that the lesson was easy. This means
that the lesson was well taught and made the students happy too.

REFLECT

Based on your observations and tasks in Activity how will you

prepare your lesson plan? Make a short paragraph on the topic.

In preparing our lesson plan, there are many things we have to

consider. Lesson plan have the three different phases which are the
opening phase, developmental phase, and concluding phase. These
three different phases can help our lesson a good flow when we start
discussing. We must also think the different levels of our students
or leaners. We have to choose the appropriate teaching method. We
must also consider the three components of a lesson plan.

ANALYZE

Answer the following questions based on the diagram.

1. Are the three components constructively aligned? Explain.

Yes, the three components from the diagram presented in the previous
page are constructively aligned. The assessment and the teaching method
was guided by the learning outcomes. The three outcomes reflect what the
students should attain throughout the lesson.

2. Will the outcomes be achieved with the teaching methods used?

Why?

Positively, through the use of teaching methods, the outcomes stated

will be achieved well. The teaching methods were appropriately and
carefully planned that responds well to the learning objectives.

 Field Study 1

3. What components would tell if the outcomes have been

achieved?

To assess if the outcomes have been achieved, we should look onto

the assessments that were used. For example, using the lesson plan in
the previous page, the last outcome requires the students to be able to
write a character analysis about the story, then, the evaluation part reflects
the last objective, which could help the to achieve the outcome.

REFLECT

What lessons have you learned in developing or writing a lesson

plan? What value it give to the teacher if the three components are
aligned?

In developing or writing a lesson plan, I have learned that we

need to align the three components in order for us to achieved our desired
outcomes. We have to plan ahead the knowledge, skills, and values we
want our learners to achieve. As an educator, we must choose the
appropriate teaching method we are going to use. Providing evaluation
and assessment aligned with our lesson objective is vital for us to test the
learning of our students. The value of success is what the teacher can
gain if all the three components are aligned. Success in delivering the
lessons and the effectiveness of student’s learning,
