Module IV: Assessing the Curriculum

Lesson 1: Intended vs. Implemented vs. Achieved curriculum.

Purita B. Bilbao,Ed.D. and Tomasa C. Iringan, Ph.D.

Activity 1. Matching the intended implemented and achieved curriculum.

Interview a classroom teacher in public elementary or high school. Request for a

copy of lesson plan which has been already taught.

1. Identify the intended curriculum.

2. Identify the implemented curriculum.

3. Identify the achieved curriculum.

4. Record your findings in the matrix show below.

A. Intended curriculum

B. Implemented

curriculum

C. Achieved curriculum

To define meaning of

primary and secondary sources.

To generalize the importance of

primary and secondary sources

and apply it in daily life.

To examine the primary and secondary sources

using a graphic organizer.

The teacher asks her

students to make a research about the

two types of sources, the primary and

secondary.

The teacher makes a group activity and

every group will cite some importance of

primary and secondary sources that any

representative of the group will present.

The group of students will make their own graphic

organizer of primary and secondary

sources.

The student can

define the primary and secondary

sources.

The students realized and cite

some importance of primary and

secondary sources in study.

The students made a graphic organizer of primary and

secondary sources.

5. Analyze your matrix.

a) Does A match with B? Why?

Yes, because through group activity, the teacher apply her

objective, which is connected to the task that she prepared.

b) Does B match with C? Why?

Yes, because on how the teacher implemented her objective, the

students easily understand what they are going to do and they

accomplished their activity.

c) Does A match with C? Why?

Yes, because the students achieved the objective that was given by

their teacher.

Activity 2. Mix and match.

1. Use the matrix found below.

2. In the second column, list some activities which you have done in your

previous professional education subject.

3. From the list that you have made, what do you think was/were the

objectives to be accomplished? Write only one or two objectives.

4. On the third column, answer whether the activity you identified

accomplished the objective set in the first column. Write down proof’s

of accomplishment.

Subject or Course Name/Title: Methods of Research

Objectives (intended)

Activities

(Implemented)

Evaluation Result

(Achieved)

To orient the

vision, mission, goals and

objectives to students.

To define research, classify research and discuss the

function and the process of

research.

To identify and formulate a

research problem.

To distinguish the

different kinds of variables and make

a research paradigm.

To be able to formulate

hypothesis.

The students

research or get copies of our

university vision, mission, goals and objectives,

memorize it and recite it.

The students have a research work and homework

about research.

The students formulate three

titles of our research problem;

we defend it and write it on a bond sheet of paper.

The students made

a discussion about different kinds of

variables and make a research about it.

The students have a lecture about

different types of hypothesis and try to formulate our

own hypothesis in our research

proposal.

The students

become aware of the vision, mission,

goals and objectives of the university.

The students identify the different

classification of research and its

function.

The students identify and decide

what our research problem is.

The students write

their own research paradigm on our

research proposal

The students made their own

research hypothesis.

Reflect

Let us pause for a while and reflect on this lesson.

1. How would you describe a school curriculum where the intended outcomes

do not match with the implemented activities and the achieved outcomes?

I would describe a school curriculum where the intended outcomes do

not match with the implemented activities and the achieved outcomes

as an unplanned, unassisted, unevaluated properly and a kind of

ridiculous curriculum. It is not studied carefully. How would you make a

school curriculum where the goals and objectives, the activities

implemented and the achieved outcome are not match? Would you

imagine that?!Where can you find that kind of curriculum? It is just a

product of being lazy, not wise and not quality work.

2. In writing your lesson plan, would you consider matching the intended,

implemented and achieved curriculum? Why?

Yes, because if you will not match intended, implemented and

achieved curriculum, you will never accomplished your desired

outputs. In order for you to obtain your goals and objectives and get

the learning outcomes you are targeting, you should master it with the

activities you are going to implement.
