Conclusions (After analyzing the results of the interview, what can you conclude?)

I conclude that curriculum has the great impact on education aspects.

Also, we have different definition of curriculum but it has the same
taught or idea.
 Visit the school library/surf the internet or consult the dictionary. Write two
Activity 2 (2) meanings of curriculum taken from the authoritative sources.

Meaning of Curriculum Reference(s)

Curriculum is meant the subjects Curriculum Planning for Better

taught in school. Schools by Gaudencio V
Aquino. P.13

The courses offered by an

educational institution and Meriam – Webster Dictionary
constituting an area of
specialization.

My Analysis

Curriculum is a set of course and area of specialization which is

approved to serve as a guide in teaching and to have an effective and
efficient teaching learning process.
Activity 3 Evolve your own definition of curriculum. Consider all the meaning your have
taken from the different sources and authoritative resources.

For me, Curriculum is the basic unit of subject or course where in

we use this as a guide in teaching. It is also a stepping stone to
comprehend our mind about the area in educational aspects.

How did I feel after the activities?

I feel comfortable and happy after I did the interview and answer
my FS book with the interesting questions regarding the curriculum.
My Reflection/Insights

Why is curriculum is important?

Curriculum is important because through the

help of curriculum which serves as a guide, the
learners learn to their teacher but also teachers learn
from their student.

How can one enrich the curriculum in every school?

Some enrich the curriculum in every school by

using some strategies, of being updated on what is
new and comprehend the learners. Also the authority
can’t teach the lesson without curriculum basis.
