Desired Learning Outcomes
 
At the end of this module, the students must be able to:
 
1. Demonstrate understanding of the teacher’s role as a
curricularist
2. Enhance understanding of the role of the teacher as a
curricularist in the classroom and school
As a curricularist, what role do
teachers play? Should they do the
following? Which should they do as
a curricularist?
Do you know that a teacher has complex roles in school? They do a lot of interrelated tasks on
curriculum, instruction, assessment, evaluation, teaching and learning. Bilbao, et al. stated that a
classroom teacher is involved with curriculum all day but very seldom has a teacher been described as
curricularist.
In the past, curricularists were the people who developed curriculum. Hayes (1991)
identified John Dewey, Hilda Taba, Franklin Bobbit, and Ralph Tyler as the most
influential.
What is a curricularist?

1. A professional who is curriculum


specialist.

2. A person who is involved in curriculum


knowing, writing, planning, implementing,
evaluating, innovating, and initiating
Come to think of it! A TEACHER’S role is broader
and inclusive of other functions, withal, a teacher is
a curricularist!

What does a teacher do to deserve the label as


curricularist?
Functions of a Teacher as a Curricularist
(https://www.slideshare.net/RonaldQuileste?utm_campaign=profiletracking&utm_medium=sssite&utm_source=ssslideview)

1. Knows the Curriculum (Knower) •


Learning begins with knowing. • The
teacher as a learner starts with knowing
about the curriculum, the subject matter or
the content. As a teacher, one has to
master what are included in the
curriculum. • It is the acquiring academic
knowledge about formal (disciplines, logic)
or informal (derived from experiences). It
is mastery of the subject matter.
2. Writes the Curriculum
(Writer). A classroom teacher
takes record of knowledge
concepts, subject matter or
content. • These need to be
written or preserved. • The
teacher writes books, modules,
laboratory manuals, instructional
guides, and reference materials
in paper or electronic media.
3. Plans the Curriculum (Planner).
A good curriculum has to be planned.
It is the role of the teacher to make a
yearly, monthly or daily plan of the
curriculum. • The teacher takes into
consideration several factors in
planning a curriculum. • These are:
learners, support material, time,
subject matter or content, desired
outcomes , context of the learners
among others.
4. Initiates the Curriculum
(Initiator). In cases where the
curriculum is recommended to the
schools from DepEd, CHED, TESDA,
UNESCO, UNICEF or other
educational agencies for
improvement of quality education,
the teacher is obliged to implement. •
Implementation of a new curriculum
requires the open mindedness of the
teacher, and the full belief that the
curriculum will enhance learning.
5. Innovates the Curriculum
(Innovator). Creativity and innovation
are hallmarks of an excellent teacher.
A curriculum is always dynamic,
hence keeps on changing. • From the
content strategies, ways of holding,
blocks of time, ways of evaluating,
kinds of students and skills of
teachers, one cannot find a single
eternal curriculum that would
perpetually fit.
6. Implements the Curriculum
(Implementor). The curriculum that
remains recommended or written will never
serve its purpose. • Somebody has to
implement it. • The heart of schooling is the
curriculum. • It is in this role where the
teacher becomes the implementor of the
curriculum. • He is at the height of an
engagement with the learners, with support
materials in order to achieve the desired
outcome. • It is where teaching, guiding and
facilitating skills of the teacher is expected
to be the highest level.
7. Evaluates the Curriculum (Evaluator).
How can one determine if the desired
learning outcomes have been achieved? •
Is the curriculum working? Does it bring the
desired results? What do outcomes reveal?
Are the learners achieving these? Are there
practices that need to be modified? Should
the curriculum be modified, terminated,
continued? These are some of the
questions that need the help of a curriculum
evaluator and that person is the teacher.
See? As a teacher, we need to be
flexible indeed! After having read
all those functions we need to
administer, we don’t have a choice
but to be flexible!

5. I lead in the implementation of a new curriculum in my school.
   
6. I write instructional materials based on the recommended school curriculum.
