TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING 2

Learning Plans in the Context of the 21st Century

The K to 12 Curriculum Framework

Your Intended Learning Outcome:


 Discuss the salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum requiring ICT-
pedagogy integration skills
 Analyze the learning competencies of every year level according to the
field of specialization of the pre-service teachers
 Review some units in the curriculum guide with focus on the
development of 21st Century Skills

The Basic education curriculum of the country was enhanced with the implementation of K to
12 Curriculum. The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education
(six years of elementary education, four years of Junior High School (JHS), and two years of
Senior High School (SHS) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills,
develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills
development, employment, and entrepreneurship.
The implementation of the K to 12 Curriculum is expected to contribute to the country’s
development in various forms. It is believed that the implementation of the K to 12
Curriculum is necessary to improve the quality of our education which is critical to our
progress as a nation.
One of the features of the K to 12 curriculums is the requirement to equip every graduate
with the following skills:
 Information, media, and technology skills
 Learning and innovation skills
 Effective communication skills
 Life and career skills
The implementation of the K to 12 Curriculum of the Department of education paved the way
to enhance the Teacher education Curriculum of the Commission of Higher Education
(CHED). The salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum have been thoroughly considered to
ensure that all the courses in the teacher education program will meet the demands of the 21st
Century classrooms. One of the considerations is the need to implement the following salient
features of the curriculum by integrating technologies for teaching and learning. The use if
technology is done in the different levels of learning and in teaching the various fields of
specialization.

1. Strengthening Early Childhood Education (Universal Education)


With the Kindergarten program of the Department every Filipino child is expected to have
access to early childhood education. This access can be facilitated by using technological
tools that are readily available to the school and for the teachers to use.
The use of technology in Kindergarten by various school is very evident in teaching them the
alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors through games, songs and dances in their Mother
Tongue.
2. Making Curriculum Relevant to Learners (Contextualization and Enhancement)
Research show that learners will value a curriculum that is relevant to their world. Students
are often heard saying, “Do I need to know this to live meaningful life?, “What is the
relevance of this to me?. The answer to the questions of relevance is vital to help the teachers
think dome ways by which they will be able to let their students realize that their daily
lessons are of good use to their personal well-being and to their professional preparation.
Sara Bernard (2010) stressed that student need to have personal connection to a lesson
material which can be done through engaging them emotionally or through connecting the
information that they already know. This is called “Give It context, and Make it Count”.
Briggs (2014) shared some few tips for making learning engaging and personally relevant as
cited by WILLIS, FAETH and IMMORDINO-YANG.
 Use suspense and keep it fresh
Drop hints about a new learning unit before you reveal what it might be, leave gaping
pauses in your speech, change seating arrangements and put up new and relevant
posters or displays; all these can activate emotional signals and keep student interest
piqued.
 Make it student-directed
Give student a choice of assignment on a particular topic or ask them to design one of
their own. “When students are involved in designing the lesson, they understand
better the goal of the lesson and become more emotionally invested in and attached to
the learning outcomes.
 Connect lesson to their lives and what they already know
Taking time to brainstorm about what students already know and would like to learn
about a topic helps them to create goals. This also helps teachers see the best points of
departure for new ideas.
 Provide utility value
Utility value provide relevance first by telling student that content is important to their
future goals and by showing or explaining how content fits into their plans for future
of the future work. This helps students realize that the content is not just interesting
but also worth knowing.
 Build relatedness
Relatedness answers the question “What has this have to do with me? It is an
inherited need that students have to feel close to the significant people in their lives,
including teachers.

3. Building Proficiency (Mother-tongue Based Multilingual Education)


To be able to promote the child’s dominant language and to use it as a language of
instruction, technological tools should be maximized. Mother tongue is used in instruction
and learning materials of other learning areas. The learners retain their ethnic identity,
culture, heritage and values. Children learn better and are more active in class and learn a
second language even faster when they are first taught in a language they understand.
4. Ensuring Integrating and Seamless Learning (Spiral Progression)
Learning basic concept that lead to more complex and sophisticated version of the general
concepts. Rediscovering concept as student progress in their grade level will be fully
supported if all the areas of specialization will be aided by technologies for teaching and
learning. This will further strengthen retention and will enhance mastery of topics and skills
as learners to learn topics and skills appropriate to their development and cognitive skills.
5. Gearing Up for the Future
The K to 12 Curriculum ensures college readiness by aligning the core and applied courses to
the College Readiness Standards (CRS) and new General Education (GE) Curriculum.
Hence, the K to 12 Curriculum focused on developing appropriate Specialization Subjects for
the Academic, Sports, Arts and Design, and Technical Vocational Livelihood Tracks. All of
these have to be supported by education for better learning.
6. Nurturing the Holistically Developed Filipino (College and Livelihood Readiness, 21st
Century Skills)
To nurture holistically developed Filipino, every K to 12 graduates are expected to be ready
to go into different paths- be it further education, employment, or entrepreneurship. Every
graduate is expected to be equipped with information, media and technology skills, learning
and innovation skills, effective communication skills, life and career skills. This may happen
with the proper implementation of the curriculum and with the facilitation of excellent
teachers. For teachers to maintain excellent performance, they need full support one of which
is technological support.

Teachers play a very important role not only inside the classroom as classroom teachers but
also as facilitators of students of student learning, designing, implementing and evaluating the
curriculum. Teachers make decisions about how they will implement the curriculum in their
specific field of specialization. They decide on how they must structure the activities of their
lessons and manage student’s responses and ideas. Teachers’ decisions have impact on
students learning experiences in class. The following are points to consider in identifying and
understanding teachers roles as curriculum designers.
 Without doubt, the most important person in the curriculum implementation process is
the teacher. With their knowledge, experiences and competencies, teachers are central
to any curriculum development effort. Better teachers support better learning because
they are most knowledgeable about the practice of teaching and are responsible for
introducing the curriculum in the classroom (Alsubaie,2016)
 Curriculum is the planned interaction of pupils with instructional content, materials,
resources and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational objectives –
Jadhav and Patankar (2013)
 Curriculum is content, but when contextualized, it comes alive for students. The role
of teacher in the curriculum process is to help students developed an engaged
relationship with the content. Active learning will increase the focus retention of the
curriculum, resulting in an exciting learning environment.
 Teachers, on their part, have practical knowledge based on their daily works with
students. This practical knowledge is useful to curriculum committees because
teachers can assess whether the ideas being developed will work in the classroom
(Young, 1988).
