1. What is your own definition of curriculum? (25 points)
ANSWER: Curriculum is the outline concepts to be taught to students to help them meet the
content standards and also it is taught in a given course or subject. Curriculum refers to an
interactive system of instruction and learning with specific goals, contents, strategies,
measurements and resources. It is specific to the learning standards and materials used to
organize and teach particular course and it is a set of learning activities meant to make the
learner attain goals as prescribed by the educational system. Moreover, it defines the
environment where certain learning activities take place. Curriculum gives a reason why such
learning is considered necessary and what educational aims it would serve.

1. Explain how the 3 approaches to curriculum interrelate with each other? (25 points)
ANSWER: CURRICULUM AS A CONTENT OR BODY OF KNOWLEDGE. Topic
outline Subject matter, concept to be included in the syllabus. CURRICULUM
APPROACHED AS PROCESS Curriculum happens in the classroom Practice of
teaching Curriculum happens in the classroom Concern of teachers to emphasize, Critical
thinking, Meaning-making, Heads-on, Hands-on and many others it has a guiding
principle are presented: 1. Curriculum process in the form of teaching methods and
strategies are means to achieved the end. 2. There is no single best process or method. 3.
Stimulate learner’s desire to develop holistically 4. In the choice of methods, learning and
teaching styles should be considered. 5. Every method or process should result to
learning outcomes 6. Flexibility in the use of the process or methods should be
considered 7. Both teaching and learning are the two important processes in the
implementation of the curriculum. CURRICULUM AS A PRODUCT, is what students
desire to achieve as a learning outcome. The real purpose of education is to bring about
significant changes in students’ pattern of behavior. Curriculum product is expressed in
form of outcomes which are referred to as the achieved learning outcomes. There may be
several desired learning outcomes, but if the process is not successful, then no learning
outcomes will be achieved. These learned or achieved outcomes are demonstrated by the
person who has meaningful experiences in the curriculum. All of these are result of
planning, content and processes in the curriculum. They are interrelated with each other
by comparing it with a book, a book cannot be formed with the knowledge of the author,
the things the he/she discuss on the book they want to publish, a book cannot be formed
without a process, what are the different steps they should to make the book published
and out in the market, a book cannot be a book when there’s no product, it cannot be in
the market without the help and sacrifices with an authors, the learnings that can gain by
the readers and the knowledge of the people on the outcome of that book. So, they are
interrelated to each other because it’s a step-by-step process on how the students learn
and understand on the topic or classes they had. If you are not going to the first step you
will never know what’s the outcome, and curriculum cannot be formed without one of
that approaches.

Write a two paragraph essay comparing three curriculum models. (25 points)
ANSWER: Curriculum models are a tool used by educators. When we talk about curriculum in
today's classrooms and schools, we mean the stuff kids are learning. It is the content, mostly, but
also the planning put into the subject matter: goals and objectives, assessments, and sequencing.
Schools and districts create a curriculum guide, a framework that details what, how, and when
instruction occurs. The primary use of a curriculum guide is to give educators a uniform
methodology so all students have the same opportunities to learn. Before determining what goes
into the guide, it is necessary to determine what type of curriculum guide to use. A curriculum
guide can have several different formats, or models. A curriculum model, then, is the tool that
helps those who write and develop curriculum guides. They provide a reason for the choices
made in teaching.
CURRICULUM MODEL. The Tyler Model: developed by Ralph Tyler in the 1940’s, is the
quintessential prototype of curriculum development in the scientific approach. One could almost
dare to say that every certified teacher in America and maybe beyond has developed curriculum
either directly or indirectly using this model or one of the many variations. Tyler did not intend
for his contribution to curriculum to be a lockstep model for development. Originally, he wrote
down his ideas in a book Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction for his students to give
them an idea about principles for to making curriculum. The brilliance of Tyler’s model is that it
was one of the first models and it was and still is a highly simple model consisting of four steps;
1st. Determine the school’s purposes (aka objectives). 2nd. Identify educational experiences
related to purpose. 3rd. Organize the experiences. 4th. Evaluate the purposes. The Taba Model:
Models serve as guideline to action. 2. Models are found in almost every form of education. 3.
The education profession has models of instruction, of administration, of evaluation, of
supervision etc. 4. In curriculum, there are models of curriculum as opposed to models of
curriculum development. Curriculum models Are designed to provide a basis for decisions
regarding the selection, structuring and sequencing of the educational experiences. The Saylor
and Alexander Model: Galen Saylor and William Alexander (1974) viewed curriculum
development as consisting of four steps. According to them, curriculum is “a plan for providing
sets of learning opportunities to achieve broad educational goals and related specific objectives
for an identifiable population served by a single school centre”. Each major goal represents a
curriculum domain and they advocate 4 major goals or domains: personal development, human
relations, continued learning skills and specialization. The goals, objectives and domains are
selected after careful consideration of several external variables such as findings from
educational research, accreditation standards, views of community groups and others.

How will the theory of Maslow influence your teaching practice in the future? (25 points)
ANSWER: The most important educational goal is for students to learn. Another important goal
is to make this newly gained knowledge and information purpose and meaningful to the students
so that it may be retained and useful through their lives. An essential factor involved in meeting
this goals is motivation. If students are unmotivated in one way or another, it is likely that little
learning will take place, or if by chance some learning should take place, it is probable that it will
not be retained. Maslow’s theory is widely referred to in educational circles. The theory of
Maslow can influence my teaching practice in the future by providing the reminder and
framework to my students that are less likely to perform at their full potential if their basic needs
are unmet, it can help to higher up the hierarchy of a students to have a better motivation and
therefore the students will experience more effective learning. Also it can influence my teaching
practice in the future by following the level in Maslow’s hierarchy that refers to the realization of
a personal potential, self fulfilment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences. Practicing in
teaching for the future have better results by applying Maslow’s hierarchy and as a future
educator it will make my students believe and trust me more through this type of teaching.
