EXERCISES on TYPES of CURRICULUM
Instructions: Classify the type of curriculum exhibited by the following statements.
1. I have a good idea on how to make my learners pay attention to the lesson. I will use the new idea and
find out if it will work.
2. DepEd set the standards, competencies and guidelines in teaching Mother Tongue in Grade 1 in our
school.
3. There is so much to do in one school year. I seem not able to do all, but I have accomplished
something for my learners. I have made a daily activity plan to guide me.
4. My class is composed of learners from different home background and culture. I cannot use a
“one-size-fits all strategy” in teaching so I can respond to the diverse background. In my readings, I
discovered there are ways of teaching. I tried one myself and it worked.
5. At the end of the year, my performance as a teacher is reflected in the school performance of my
students. So I need to provide a monitoring tool to measure how they are progressing. The results will
inform me how will I address my learners’ weakness and enhance their strengths.
6. I am teaching in a very far away barangay with no electricity yet. Many of the instructional aids for
teaching sent to our school are films and videotapes which need power. I cannot use them, but the
lessons are very important, so I thought of making an alternative activity. I took my class to the river and
waterfall instead of doing the lesson.
7. My principal asked me to attend a writeshop to make the lesson exemplars in teaching Science in
Grade 7. In the workshop, I used my experiences as a science teacher for ten years, and my knowledge of
the subject matter. At the end of three days, I was able to produce lesson exemplars which I am proud of.
8. In Grade 7 to Grade 10 of the K to 12 Enhanced Curriculum, Science as a subject is presented, taught
and learned in a spiral manner. This is part of the DepEd implementing guidelines of the curriculum. I am
a Biology major, and I have insufficient knowledge about the other areas of Science such as Physics and
Earth Science. Because of this dilemma, I have to request the principal that we have a team teaching.
9. In my twenty years of teaching, I have published researches, books, manuals and other instructional
materials.
10. The result of the quizzes gives me an idea about the progress of my students.
11. In our school , wearing of school uniform and academic dishonesty is highly discouraged. Students
are very aware of it.
12. As a teacher , I am very thankful that my students exhibit a very proficient skill in solving word
problems.
