CHAPTER 5
1. Describe the process of school curriculum development practiced by your
college or university.
The curriculum development process practiced by my university can be
categorized into five basic steps:
1) Needs assessment - aids in Curriculum Design and Development Team to fully
comprehend the purpose of, and the curriculum's completion expectations.
2) The planning session - Discussions about the content to be created and
implemented in the curriculum take place during the planning session.
3) Content development - This is the work due to the production of the Planning
Session, and it is at the core of the curriculum development process. In this step,
intended outcomes for each particular subject are decided, techniques for each
performance objective are formed, and as a direct consequence, the team develops
lesson plans, participating member materials, and training tools to mentor
respondents to effectively achieve the expected project results and module specific
goals.
4) Pilot delivery and revision - is a "test drive" of the curriculum to see if it
achieves the desired results.
5) The completed curriculum package - The curriculum has been affirmed at this
point in the development process and is ready for any further mentoring program
delivery and dissemination.
It is ideal to have at least 12 - 18 months to design and implement a curriculum.
This gives time for a preparing session(s), follow-up gatherings and/or mechanisms
for ongoing work, a pilot of the initial program design, pilot-based revisions, and
another presentation of the updated program.

approval in your college or university.

approval.
3. Curriculum development requires the input of different stakeholders such as:
Teachers - with their knowledge, experiences and competencies, teachers are
central to any curriculum development effort. Better teachers support better
learning because they are most knowledgeable about the practice of teaching and
are responsible for introducing the curriculum in the classroom.
School heads - Review all required resources and ensure their provision for
application of new curricula. Implementation of new curricula. Monitoring
implementation of new curricula. Take feedback from the students and faculty
members during and after implementation of new curricula.
Parents - Parents should offer available resources, take care of their children, and
voluntary work at school events; cultivate positive relationships with teachers and
administrators; keep the school notified about schoolwork, curriculum issues, and
development of children; and attend school happenings and assist in the classroom.
Community members - The existing local community's members and materials can
very well supplement for what is required to enforce the curriculum. Respected
community members may be appointed to school boards, as is the case in some
schools.
Students – A curriculum is created for the benefit of the students. They are the
ones who are most affected by it. Learners at all levels actively and directly
participate in shaping or dismantling the curriculum. Despite the fact that they are
expected to complete their evaluation assignments on time in intended to notify
ongoing decisions and enhance the curriculum/program educators, course
directors, and educational leadership for currently underway strategic planning and
developments.
District administrators - They oversee implementation of the curriculum, select and
bring in new teachers, accept students, and acquire the necessary products and
machinery for effective learning. They also intend to improve learning
environments and physical plants. The importance of administrators cannot be
overstated. The school administrators bear the burden of command responsibility
and institutional leadership. The final decision regarding the purpose of the school
is made by school administrators. School administrators in academic institutions
have a lot riding on what kind of curriculum their schools offer and how it is
implemented.
4. Discuss how your college/university addresses several issues and challenges and
integrates them in the curriculum.
My university always gives early feedback or solutions to every issue the school is
facing because every delays in recognizing the need for curriculum change can
result in students lacking the necessary competencies for the future. It can also
contribute to students' dissatisfaction and disengagement from school. They
employ learning that is cross-disciplinary in nature, as well as educational
activities that are designed to be converging.
1. Collect samples of syllabus in your college.
2. Examine how each syllabus considers the various factors affecting the identified
curriculum implementation.
Curriculum Implementation is influenced by a variety of factors such as learners,
resource materials and facilities, the teacher, the school environment, culture and
ideology, instructional supervision, and assessment. Therefor the syllabus
considers the factors like students by making sure that they understand what
they’re supposed to learn and at the same time let them enjoy their free time as
well.
CHAPTER 6
Activity 25
1. Why do you think curriculum evaluation is important?
It is critical to assess the curriculum in order to determine what operated,
what didn't, and what could be done differently the next thing. Curriculum
evaluation can include determining whether or not the curriculum's 'AIMS
and OUTCOMES' have been managed to meet.
2. What is the difference of evaluation and assessment?
Assessment is used to determine an individual's performance level, whilst
evaluation is used to assess the degree to which objectives are accomplished.
The primary distinction between assessment and evaluation is one of
orientation; assessment is process oriented, whereas evaluation is product
oriented.
3. How often do schools evaluate their curriculum?
In any educational context, curriculum evaluation entails determining the
'value' of everything in the course. All involved parties, such as pupils,
educators, course supervisors, school leaders, and family members, are
asked to provide feedback on the school curriculum. As the course is
provided, the curriculum will be evaluated formatively or on an ongoing
basis to see what is operating and what is not. It is beneficial in the sense
that if something is way off the mark with the curriculum, it should be
corrected at the moment. The summative evaluation takes place at the end of
the curriculum. This gives a comprehensive picture of the course, allowing
choices to be taken about what should be removed, what the course's
advantages are, and what places need improvement.
Activity 26
1. What data can be gathered in the classroom and school level?
Data such as answers from surveys or through observational data can be
gathered in the classroom and school which could really help for the
evaluation of the curriculum.
2. How do these data provide the necessary information for evaluating a
curriculum?
Our students are at the center of everything we do, and data in the classroom
allows us to improve our instruction for their benefit. Data is all around us,
whether we realize it or not. Making a concerted effort to apply what we
learn in the classroom will help us become better, more effective educators.
It helps to know what should be the solution for the data provided and how
to maintain the good thing going around the school.
3. Do you consider accreditation as a form of curriculum evaluation? Why?
Yes. Because accreditation is involved with the relationship between
teachers and the student. It allows institutional growth through self-study,
evaluation, and self-regulation. Accreditation concedes to comprehensive
evaluation, critique, and re-adjustment of its standards, regulations, and
processes in response to educational reforms. So it could also be considered
as a form of curriculum evaluation because it seems very effective.
Activity 27
How can we involve the following stakeholders in the curriculum evaluation?
1. Parents - Family involvement implies viewing parents as active contributors in
their very own child’s learning and progression, as well as trying to ensure that
they are well educated about their children's academic lives and understand how
they can collaborate with the university.
2. Students - Learners frequently believe that they are the main topic of the
evaluation rather than the curriculum. Participating in the evaluation places the
students on an equal footing with the teachers, allowing them to see studying for
what it is. It is an essential component of the learning process.
3. Community officials - They serve as a guideline for what curriculum or training
course can be executed to meet the community needs.
4. Professional organizations – Serves as the source of funds for the projects.
5. Alumni - These will be used to demonstrate the efficiency of the curriculum
being put in place.
6. Researchers - The discovery of effective curriculum, advice, and school
organization aspects is aided by research. The best basis for differentiating
beneficial advancements and regulations from trends is research. The state of
education systems and their improvement toward greater objectives are assessed
through research.
