ANALYZE
Which of the seven types curriculum in the school setting is easy to find? Why?
 The K-12 curriculum is the most recently adopted curriculum in the
Philippines and is used in schools nationwide. It is also the easiest to
locate in a school setting, as it is the currently used curriculum.

Which is difficult to observe? Why?

 The hidden curriculum is difficult to observe because it is not explicitly
stated or formally taught, but rather conveyed through the school's
culture, policies, and practices. It includes the unspoken or implicit
lessons that students learn through their experiences in school, such as
values, beliefs, and behaviors. While the hidden curriculum is often
unintentional, it can have a significant impact on students' development
and learning.

Are these all found in the school setting? How do curricula relate to one another?
 Yes, all of these curricula refer to the knowledge and skills that students
are expected to learn in school. They outline the content and goals of
education, and provide a structure for teaching and learning.
Draw a diagram to show the relationship of one curriculum to the other.

REFLECT

What lessons have you learned in developing or writing a lesson plan?

Answer:
One important lesson to consider when developing or writing a lesson plan is the
classroom set-up. The arrangement of the classroom can have a significant impact on
students' ability to focus and engage with the lesson. Even if the lesson is interesting
and well-prepared, if the classroom is not set up in a way that encourages learning, it
may be difficult for students to pay attention and participate. Therefore, it is important to
consider the classroom set-up and make any necessary changes to create a conducive
learning environment.

What value will it give to the teacher if the three components are aligned?
Answer:
The teacher can achieve success in their teaching if the three components of
lesson delivery, efficiency, and student learning are aligned and working together
effectively. When these elements are in sync, the teacher is more likely to be able to
effectively convey the lessons to their students and facilitate meaningful learning
experiences.
