Self - Reflect

 

SELF-REFLECT Reflect on this: After learning from this lesson, how would you prepare yourself to become a teacher, using the three (3) approaches to curriculum? Send me your answer.

Curriculum as a content or body of knowledge is the first given approach to curriculum. As I prepare myself on becoming a teacher, the first thing that I would consider is the content of knowledge which is very essential not only to myself, but to the students. These will be the “what” which will be acquired by the students or students  or the learners. I have believed that every student needs to be fed by new sets of information that the teacher would provide day by day. So much so, a teacher should always see to it that the curriculum to be utilized would focus on the content. Keeping in mind that the body of knowledge needs to be prepared at first, of course, the best way for me to transmit to the learners would be in a topical approach. Theoretical knowledge are always there especially for the teachers. It could be learned by anyone else who wants to acquire, and this t his is good enough to be imparted to the students. We cannot ca nnot but deny that knowledge is really significant or essential,  but if we would fuse knowledge in the mind with knowledge gained through experiences, I have the faith that the presentation of the content is not just an ordinary one, but a knowledge which are integrated. Regarding to the criteria of selecting the content, it would be very beneficial in the present times if I would be emphasizing first “significance” as “significance” as my basis or criterion in the body of knowledge. I would always look to the cultural context of the learners so I can able to adjust and adapt their way of living to what will I give to them. The curriculum will remain as per se but having having consideration to the cultural setting of the students. In my opinion, they could easily imbibe the curriculum which will be presented in this kind of preparation to them. As we have built and established the curriculum as content or the main bulk of the  preparation of becom becoming ing a teacher, it is rright ight to think and prepare the next approach, the curriculum as a process. This focuses on how to teach the content. There are lots of strategies and ways on how to deliver the knowledge and to execute it very effectively. It is a good thing to know how I will deliver the curriculum to better apprehend by the students. In my preparation, I always look forward to the implementation of the content of the curriculum in a way that students will learn or take as learning how I prepare content. In the strategies or methods to far be used,the theknowledge assurance of is verythe vital to determine the percentage on how

 

and how well do the students learn. Perhaps, one factor of the success of their learning is the strategy I used since it should be well-executed for an easier and welltransmitted information. And lastly, there are certain outcomes or results that students wanted to achieve in the process of their learning. It is also but an important thing to consider the assessment that that truly, students have have understood the lesson. Still, in the pre preparation paration of the content, I am foreseeing the goal of what I am preparing in the beginning. I see first the goal or end that I wanted to achieve, but without forgetting that it should  be started with the approaches of curriculum curriculum,, as my means, to make these happen into a big and successful reality. reality. In the end, what is important iiss that I have targeted the desired result result of my students’ learning. It is also my way of evalua evaluating ting myself on how good I am in preparing curriculum as I ready myself to become a teacher.
