My Learning Essentials
Curriculum can be approached or seen in three (3) ways. It can be defined

as content, a process or as an outcome. First, is to approach it as content or
body of knowledge to be transmitted. Second, is to approach it as a product or
the learning outcomes desired of learners. Third, is to approach it as a process or
what actually happens in the classroom when the curriculum is practiced.

My Reflection
Curriculum refers to all subjects or courses offered in a school. It is a recommend order from the
DepEd or CHED. It may change any time if it is not anymore helping the learners to progress in the learning
development. I learned that in every curriculum there is always a process and a result either positive or negative.
It helps the learners building their confidence, skills and ideas. They can only attain their goals if they work
together both teacher and students in a very nice way.
As I interview, I learned many things like to identify or categorize the content. And what are the
outcomes of it, I realized curriculum is really important to us.
There are six (6) criteria in the selection of knowledge/subject
matter. Interview a teacher, the indication for each of the
criteria by answering the given question.

My Insights
There are a lot of criteria in the selection of the subject content. This is useful so that the
teachers are being guided and can would easily can come up with content that the learners can
really understand the topic. This will also help on how or what strategies they will use so that that
the learning may last and more enjoyable. I learned that in every curriculum there is a criterion that
we need to follow in order to attain our goals which is the 100 % proficiency of the learners.
These criteria will be utilized in the selection of subject matter and for the content needed in a
curriculum. It will really help the teachers on how to evaluate their learners. As a future educator, I
should have criteria in all of my subjects in order to have a good outcome in teaching learning
process.
