Traditional Curriculum was formulated a long time ago. Though I believe learning is good but there is still lacking in the learning. This curriculum does not consider the learners fully. This was built long before the curriculum makers spot that there is really a need to consider the learners as the primary factor to be considered. On the other hand, the Progressive Curriculum was formulated to meet the learning needs of the students. It integrates technology which is highly needed in the fast evolving society. It uses various methods of teaching. Generally, it is student-centered where all the senses are involved to make sure that learners learn qualitatively and the better the learning.

My Personal Insights

The school I have visited embraces all the curricula, I believe. K to 12 curriculum is proposed by authorized personnel as a product of their study to produce fully baked students in the future. Since k to 12 is being used in this school and it is a combination of some types of curricula, I believe it is the best among all curricula.


My Enriching Activities

Things I need to Do to Consider in Preparing My

School's Curriculum

Learning styles of students

Subjects which are essential to learning and could bridge the

gap between the learners and trends

Students' Diversity

Teachers' competency in

teaching the subjects

Environment should be

considered as well as the culture

where my students belong


My Analysis

We need to consider the traditional and progressive points of view of curriculum

because there is a need to adapt to the changing needs of the learners. Through

considering the points of view, we could be able to gather data that are essential in

considering every aspect of the learners to develop learning.

Educational philosophies such as essentialism, progressivism, perennialism and

the like really are related to the school I have just visited through the teaching methods of

the teachers. Their methods are somehow integrating part of essentialism, part of

progressivism, and a part of perennialism. Progressivism, since one teacher lets her

students do some board work which students are actively engaged.

There is a need to revise the curriculum from time to time because of the fast

changing needs of learning and learning styles of the learners. As the time goes by, the

learners constantly change and there is a need for the curriculum to cope and meet the

learners’ needs and to holistically mold the concern. Revision of curriculum means to

update the contents into latest contents to be able to perfectly fir the present needs to be

learned. Also, in order to revise strategies of teaching that will cater learning needs.


My Reflections/My Insights

Curriculum is the heart and soul of every school. I learned that a school could not

stand without a curriculum. As I observed, a curriculum needs to meet every single need

of learners as much as possible. It is where the teaching strategies be formulated, be put

into action, and continually used. However, curriculum should be changed and revised if

it does not bridge the gap of learning. I believe there is also a need to integrate

technology in the teaching to cope with the present needs.
