    Study Notes

    Total Quality Management in Curriculum

    • Total Quality Management (TQM) is a popular concept used to comprehensively manage the quality of products and services.
    • TQM is a structured effort by employees to continually improve the quality of products and services through feedback and research.
    • Quality of products or services is not the sole responsibility of a single individual. It's a collaborative effort.
    • TQM in education is a continuous improvement process, not a project with a specific start and end date, aiming for a permanent strategy.

    Kaizen

    • Kaizen, translated to "step-by-step improvement," is a Japanese concept integral to TQM.
    • It's a practical strategy for achieving continuous improvement in quality by implementing small, planned improvements.
    • Applying Kaizen in education makes TQM more practical and addresses its complexities.

    Changing Cultures

    • Educational changes require time, effort, and a conducive environment.
    • Management plays a critical role in instilling a change-embracing atmosphere and providing teachers with the tools and resources needed.
    • Management should appreciate and encourage the developments they observe.

    Upside-down Organization

    • Effective TQM in education necessitates a shift in the traditional management hierarchy.
    • Focuses on empowering every staff member to improve their practice and contribute to institution-wide improvement, instead of strict top-down direction.

    Focusing on Customers

    • In the context of education, the key customers are students and their parents, and quality education is the core service.

    • Specific learning outcomes include knowledge, skills, degree of independence, application, and values.
    • The PQF is a collaborative effort involving multiple governmental bodies in the Philippines..
    • Objectives include aligning domestic standards with international frameworks, supporting access to qualifications, assisting in the mobility of individuals between education and training sectors, and addressing any labor market mismatches.

      • Domain 5, Assessment and Reporting: highlights assessment methodologies, monitoring learner progress and achievement, feedback strategies for learning improvement, communicating learner data to stakeholders, and using assessment data to enhance teaching and learning.
