Hi Sir!
ReplyDeleteWhere we can find this journal? are we going to research it or you will provide us the copy?
hi sir
ReplyDeleteuntil what date we need to post our answer regarding our assignment?
Look for it in hte library. I understand there are lot of books on curriculum that discuss Glatthorn's concept. Likewise, A. Glatthorn laso has a book on curriculum which you can use as a reference.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
RECOMMENDED CURRICULUM
ReplyDeleteThe word curriculum comes form Latin origin which means runway, a course to reach a goal. One of the types of curriculum is the recommended curriculum which is presented by the experts. Others call it as the ideal curriculum. Why is it ideal? Because the experts I am referring here are individual scholars, professional associations, reform commissions, requirements from government policy-makers and other educators or professionals who are already skilled and competent to suggest the contents that should be taken and studied by the students.
Recommended curriculum has evolved over the years due to several reasons and influences. One of these is the effort to improve the quality of learning. Every year, thousands of innovations have come-up and children have to keep-up with these or else they will be left behind. An example of this is technology. Technology advances a child’s mind because it makes her aware of the world around her and how she coexists with it. In addition, technological literacy is important because when she finishes college, it is valuable that a person knows how to utilize and maximize the use of computers and the world-wide web.
Government policy-makers, especially here in the Philippines where they make a very big impact on the educational system, influence the outline of how the syllabus must be taught inside the classroom. Aside from the Department of Education, network of opinion shapers in the profession who through their writing and consulting have a strong effect on recommended curricula which through extensive research, out-of-the-country seminars, and studying abroad have brought their knowledge here in the Philippines for us to be at par with the international standards.
The Authors of the National Educational Organizations abroad have recommended curricula which serve some useful functions which can also be applicable to our country. These are the following:
• High school must be taught the basics of computer science. Elementary students simply need the rules on how to use MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint.
• Second, they should promote equity and excellence to all students: having a remedial class for those who do not understand the lesson well; equal access to resources; adequate staffing; safe and well-equipped schools.
• Finally, teachers must be prepared and knowledgeable of the subject whatever her teaching styles and strategies maybe. She should join a professional organization where support group is available. She must also ensure that her students absorbed the topics being tackled.
For some schools here in our country, recommended curriculum have raised the standards and gained momentum in our educational system especially in private schools but unfortunately, due to lack of budget from our government, some public schools have weakened their quality of education and the students suffered greatly due to this. This is why recommended curriculum is very important to help coordinators and teachers make decisions on developing their instructional programs. Therefore, our government must put emphasis on this issue as Dr. Jose Rizal said: “Ang Mga Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan” (Children are the hope of the Country). This is still true up to this day.
HI Aimee,
ReplyDeleteIn what way do you think does recommended curriculum play an important influence in the curriculum alignment?
Written Curriculum gives the basic lesson plan to be followed which includes objectives, sequence, etc. This will serve as guidance for the teacher in what to be taught. These are produce by the state, school system, the school, and the classroom teacher. Most of the written curriculum is made by curriculum experts with the participation of the teachers. These were pilot tested or tried out in sample population and if they are satisfied with the result they will handed down to the schools, districts, division, departments or college for implementation.
ReplyDeleteHidden Curriculum is the unintended curriculum which is not deliberately planned. Sometimes this is also called “unstudied curriculum” or “implicit curriculum”. In this approach the expected learning outcomes or behavior will modify which can be lead to desirable or undesirable result. Here some of the factor why some school used by the school,
1. Peer influence
2. School environment
3. Physical condition
4. Teacher learner interaction
5. Mood of the teacher.
Hi everyone. Sorry for the delay imparting to you this topic assigned to me. As much as I want to use the reference given by Sir Joel, I ended up using Eisner’s, Flinder’s and Wilson’s. Here are the information that I’ve gathered:
ReplyDeleteThe excluded curriculum is what has been left out, either intentionally or unintentionally. Eisner (1979) terms this the "null curriculum," since it is not readily apparent.
What curriculum designers and/or teachers choose to leave out of the curriculum is no less important than what they choose to include. Those choices are based on a number of factors.
Educators have personal beliefs about the importance of various parts of the official curriculum. Given that they don’t have time to “cover” everything, they automatically choose those concepts they consider more important or with which they feel more comfortable. Often, teachers choose topics simply because they find them more enjoyable or believe that the students will find them interesting.
According to David Flinders, "null curriculum"--what schools do not teach; it attempts to define the term, focusing on possible uses in theory, research, and practice. While hard to define and limited as a research concept, "null curriculum" can inform considerations of curriculum goals, content, and selection criteria.
Based on Leslie Owen Wilson’s statement, null curriculum gives students the message that there are elements which are not important in their educational experiences or in their society.
Schools have consequences not only by virtue of what they do not teach, but also by virtue of what they neglect to teach. What students cannot consider, what they don't processes they are unable to use, have consequences for the kinds of lives they lead.
The tested curriculum (TAAS, ITBS, SAT, etc.)is that set of learnings that are assessed in teacher-made classroom tests,standardized tests, direct assessments and state assessments are congruent to what is taught and written curriculum. Teachers and administrators use test results to assess the status of individual student achievement, to identify general achievement trends of various groups of students, and to modify curriculum and/or instruction as warranted by assessment results.
ReplyDeleteFenwick English, a leading proponent of curriculum alignment, maintains that there is an interrelationship between the tested curriculum, taught curriculum and written curriculum. If what is tested is not being taught nor addressed in materials used by students, test scores and related educational outcomes will not reach the expectations of the students, teachers, administrators, parents, and the public.
learned Curriculum
ReplyDelete-in looking at the student perception of their most important learnings, 22 categories emerge in alplhabetical oder they are as follows
1.action research
2 assesment
3 change in mathematics education
4 classroom climate
5 concept attainment
6 cooperative learning
7 developing conceptual understanding
8 field experience
9 fun and games
10 gender equity
11 instructional methods
12 interdisciplinary teaching
13 managing behavior
14 managing intructions
15 manipulative
16 mathematical discoures
17 personal mathematics understanding
18 planning resources
19 real life connection
20 techology
21 thinking mathematically
22 understanding students
-the student learned curriculum.
learned curriculum it is the mean by which we analyze student learning and effectiveness of our teaching acts as a foundation on which to base our future planning and practice. it is central to our goal of guiding the child, from novice to expert throught the learning process.

ReplyDeleteRecommended curriculum = delineated by scholars and professional organizations
Written curriculum = the one that appears in state and school district documents
Taught curriculum = is what the teachers attempt to implement within the classrom
Supported curriculum = one that helps implement or deliver the curriculum resources such as textbooks and computers
Assessed curriculum = curriculum that is tested and evaluated
Learned curriculum = what the student actually learn
Hidden curriculum = is the unintended curriculum
Traditionally, teachers have been most influenced by learned and assessed curriculum - making their curriculum desicions on the basis of student's needs and responses to the taught curriculum.
Supported curriculum - resources-textbooks, computers, audio-visual materials which support and help in the implementation of the curriculum.
ReplyDeleteThe supported curriculum continues to have a strong influence on the taught curriculum, especially for elementary teachers, who teach four or five subjects. The textbook is often their major source of content knowledge.
