Why must a teacher be aware and sensitive to the hidden curriculum? (Answer to this question
should be consolidated views of the three members)

- The hidden curriculum is dangerous type of curriculum because it is often to a biased view
of people, actions and events. The teacher must be aware of this bias learning process
whether it be a negative or positive effect to the learners.  It is unwritten and it may have
different factors that affect our curricula on in our curriculum itself

Reflection: (Each member has to give his/her answer)


Why do you need to know the different types of curriculum?
- We need to know the different types of curriculum because it is guide/methods of a teacher
on how to teach. This is the way of learning process to develop and support the needs of
the learners. It helps in the selection of study matter and other activities so that learners are
able to acquire goals and objectives of teaching.
-  As a future teacher, there’s a need to know the different types of curriculum to be aware
of what we are imparting to our students. It can also serve as a guide to keep track to the
intended learning that the students should receive. We can use it better as we go on in a
teaching field. We have goals set out in the curriculum for what we need to teach in a given year,
and our students have goals for what they need to learn. Clearly, there’s a lot of overlap there;
shared goals make it easier for instructors to align their teaching methods with students’
academic needs to ensure that they succeed.
- As a student it is important for me to know the different type of curriculum to be able to
understand the concepts and process involved in the curriculum development. And in order to
know the different structure and complexities that serve a great learning.
