    Study Notes

    Educational Forces

    • Driving Forces: Elements that promote change, such as government intervention, technological advancements, societal values, administrative support, and knowledge growth.
    • Restraining Forces: Factors that impede change, including fear of the unknown, negative attitudes, traditional values, limited resources, and obsolete equipment.
    • Equilibrium Concept: Stability in the education landscape is maintained when driving and restraining forces are balanced, preventing change.

    Kurt Lewin's Field Force Theory

    • Change is best achieved by reducing restraining forces rather than solely increasing driving forces.
    • Categories of Curriculum Change (McNeil, 1990):
      • Substitution: Complete overhaul where an old curriculum is entirely replaced.
      • Alteration: Minor changes to existing curricula.
      • Restructuring: Significant modifications to educational systems.
      • Perturbations: Disruptive changes necessitating quick teacher adaptation.

    Value Orientation in Curriculum

    • Responds to shifts in educational focus, aligning teacher emphasis with school mission.
    • Aims for developmental growth by fostering multiple perspectives and promoting autonomous learning.

    Elements of Curriculum Change Process

    • Step 1: Orientation and Preparation involving continuous reflection and feedback for refinement.
    • Participatory Implementation: Engage all stakeholders, including peers, parents, and school leaders to encourage buy-in and ownership.
    • Material Support: Needs include supplies and conducive learning environments like well-equipped classrooms and laboratories.

    Implementing Curriculum in Classrooms

    • Core Components:
      • Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)
      • Subject Matter (SM)
      • Teaching Strategies
      • Assessment of Learning Outcomes (ALO)
      • Assignments or Agreements

    Instructional Media Technology

    • Types of Media:
      • Non-projected: Real objects, field trips, printed materials, etc.
      • Projected: Overheads, slides, films, and video presentations.
    • Technology Selection Factors: Practicality, activity suitability, and appropriateness to learning objectives.

    Role of Technology in Curriculum Delivery

    • Trends:
      • Shift towards student-centered learning.
      • Increased use of technology for more effective teaching and learning experiences.

    • Importance of visual presentation in education, emphasizing clarity in lettering, consistency, and readability for audience engagement.
    • Recommendations for appealing and interactive visual components to enhance understanding.

    Community and Parental Involvement

    • Active participation of parents and the community is crucial for curricular success.
    • Initiatives like "Brigada Eskwela" promote cooperation and support educational efforts.

    Government and Non-Government Agencies

    • Government Agencies: DEPED, TESDA, and CHED oversee curriculum implementation. PRC and CSC regulate teacher qualifications, while local government units provide essential support for construction and resources.
    • Non-Government Agencies: Organizations like Gawad Kalinga and various educational associations support early childhood education and professional development for teachers, contributing to curriculum enhancements.
