curriculum, do the following tasks:
4. Request for a sample of their curriculum:

My Tool
1. Accomplish the H Chart. Interview an administrator or a faculty member. Get their ideas/
views of the curriculum. Write the differences on both sides and the similarities at the
center and then write your personal insights.

children. Because progressive
curriculum is like special
curriculum for the special
children.
My Personal Insights:
There’s a gap between the traditional curriculums compared to the progressive
curriculum. In progressive curriculum there is quality of education- teachers are more
globally competent.
The pupils in progressive curriculum are eager to learn while in traditional, they are
passive absorbers of information and authority.

My Personal Insights:
In every subject, these curricula must be presented, the recommended curricula are the
curriculum recommended by the Department of Education, written curricula are the lesson
planned that will vary depending on the preference, subject being covered, and the need and
curiosity of every students, implemented by the teacher are called taught curricula, assessing and
evaluating your pupils is one way to test whether they understand your lesson or not, you can do
it by activities or pencil-paper test, what the students learned that is the learned curricula it
focuses on the learners and the hidden curricula are the unplanned lesson for the day.

My Analysis1. Why do we need to consider the traditional and progressive points of view of curriculum?
Traditional point of view is just merely saying on the body of subjects or
subject matter prepared by the teachers for the learners. On the other hand,
progressive point of view opposed the beliefs of the traditional. It adhered to latest
definition which is the totality learning experiences of the learners.
As a teacher, we can choose what kind of teacher we want to be. We cannot
say that two points of view are not good whether old or new. Old one has been tested
for many years so we can say traditional one is also good while new one can be said
as adhering to the change. So, we can combine these two points of view by choosing
what the best for our learners. These curriculums go hand in hand and complement
each other. These two curriculum have divine role in education.
2. How do the different educational philosophies relate to the curriculum in the schools you
visited? Cite examples/ situations?
In the A. P Santos Elementary School, the different educational philosophies
are used as springboard in teaching pupils with special needs, and they are really
related to curriculum because they firmly believe that these philosophies has
important role that can heavily influenced curriculum especially in their SPED
class, pupils are actively involved in developing curriculum.
3. Why is there a need to revise the curriculum from time to time?
In the A. P Santos Elementary School, especially in their SPED class, pupils
are actively involved when there is a need for modification and development of
curriculum because programs for individuals with mild, moderate or severe
handicaps must be comprehensive and the prominent goal is to meet the diverse
needs of pupils. So, the answer is yes, there is a need to revise the curriculum from
time to time, because every year, different pupil’s are enrolling according to Mrs.
Cristobal, SPED teacher.
My Reflection / My Insights
April Jane P. Ramos
Base on the ideas and experiences that Mrs. Cristobal shared to us, I’ve
learned that the education of children with disabilities is totally different. You as the
teacher must take the responsibility to offer your pupils a balanced program which
will emphasize their abilities instead of disabilities with the help of the school as
well.
The curriculum should be responsive to the needs of the individual pupils at
the current point of time and it must be reflective for the need for balance between
maximum interaction with non- handicapped peers and attention to critical
curriculum needs.
The SPED teacher should likewise consider the important like for the
children’s maximum participation in the regular and self- contained setting.
My Reflection / My Insights
Dave R. Pagdilao
Curriculum is the basement of learning where teachers and learners
combined knowledge and ideas for better insights. Mrs. Cristobal shared her
insights about the curriculum that she is using. She said that curriculum in special
education is different in regular school because in special education as a teacher you
should integrate learning that can suited to the disability of the child/children. It
should be more basic than others so that children with disabilities will know first
basic skills like basic grooming, the used of the things around us and household
chores basically.
As a future teacher, I should also integrate learning and ideas to practice
effective skills especially in the field of special education. I should also widen their
knowledge in environment relevant to the curriculum through experiential learning.
Because I believe that a child can learn more effectively and naturally if he/she will
exposed to the natural-environmental friendly society. Lastly, I should innovate
ideas and insightful strategies.
My Reflection / My Insights
Minerva R. Agustin
Curriculum is sometimes characterized as fragmentary, elusive and confusing.
There is such diverse definition of what is curriculum is all about. Based on to what Mrs.
Cristobal shared to us about her ideas, thoughts, and experiences, I’ve learned that
education for children with exceptionalities is very different to the regular school. Their
curriculum must be responsive to suit the needs of the children with special needs. And
according to their different exceptionalities of the learners, the different educational
philosophies are used as a springboard net to teach them. She said that the first to be
implented to the children with special needs is by teaching them the basic skills for their
daily living skills such as grooming, cooking, and other things that is used around as
basically. As a future SPED educator, I should equipped the curriculum to be plan what is
suited for my learners that can be reflect to his/ her daily living and as well to the worth of
education. I should also be resourcefulness enough and have integrated skills to provide the
needs of the children with special needs. I believe that every learner is unique and have the
capacity to learn. My goal for my learners who have disabilities is that to teach them how
to live independently and to become a whole rounded individual.
My Reflection / My Insights
Eloise D. Pacol
“A teacher takes a hand,opens a mind
and touches a heart.”
On these episode we have a chance to visited again A.P. Santos Elementary School.
Based from my experienced, I learned a lot from this episode because I was able to appreciate what was the traditional and progressive point of view in education and to difference it. And how can help me to become a good teacher in the future, especially my specialization is Special Education. I have now better understanding of how to apply the progressive curriculum to the special learners, to meet their needs and how to revise them to make it effective.
I realized that as a SPED teacher you need a lot of patience. If you love what you’re doing then you are not frustrated on your chosen job.
My Portfolio
Pictures of a Traditional School
The opposite of a progressive school. One that focuses more on obedience, studying and
tests then on hands on experimental type learning. In a traditional school it is a preparation for
life. Learners in a traditional school are passive absorbers of information and authority. Learning
is linear, with factual accumulation and skill mastery. Knowledge is absorbed through lectures,
worksheets and texts. And teachers in the traditional school are sources of information and
authority.
Pictures of a Progressive School
In a progressive school it is a part of life. Learners in a progressive school are active
participants, problem solvers and planners. Learning is spiral, with depth and breadth as goals.
Knowledge is constructed through play, direct experience and social interaction. And teachers in
progressive school are facilitators, guides who foster thinking.
