“There are dull teachers, dull textbooks,

dull films, but no dull subjects.”

What knowledge is truly
essential and enduring?
What is worth teaching
and learning?
GUIDING PRINCIPLES IN
SELECTION AND
ORGANIZATION OF
CONTENT
1. One guiding principle related to
subject matter content is to observe
the following qualities in the
selection and organization of
content:
1.VALIDITY
1.VALIDITY

Teaching the content that we ought to teach


according to national standards explicit in the
basic education curriculum; it also means teaching the
content in order to realize the goals and objectives of
the course as laid down in the basic education
curriculum.
2.SIGNIFICANCE
2.SIGNIFICANCE

 What we teach should respond to the needs and


interests of the learners, hence meaningful
and significant.
3.SELF-SUFFICIENCY
3.SELF-SUFFICIENCY

 Content fully covers the essentials. Learning


content is not "mile-wide-and-inch-deep." The
essentials are sufficiently covered and are treated in
depth. This is a case of "less is more."
4.BALANCE
4.BALANCE
Content includes not only facts but also concepts and
values. The use of the three-level approach ensures a
balance of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective lesson
content. A balanced content is something that is not too easy
to bore the above average student, neither not too difficult to
turn off the average. It is something that challenges the
student. To observe the principle of balance, no topic must be
extensively discussed at the expense of other topics.
5.INTEREST
5.INTEREST

Teacher considers the interest of the


learners, their developmental stages and
cultural and ethnic background.
6.UTILITY
6.UTILITY

Will this content be of use to the learners? It is not meant


only to be memorized for test and grade purposes. What
is learned has a function even after
examinations are over.
7.FEASIBILITY
7.FEASIBILITY

The content is feasible in the sense that the essential


content can be covered in the amount of time available
for instruction.
•IT IS OBSERVED THAT THERE IS SO
MUCH CONTENT TO COVER WITHIN
THE SCHOOL YEAR, SO MUCH SO
THAT TEACHERS TEND TO RUSH
TOWARDS THE END OF THE
SCHOOL YEAR…
2. At the base of the structure of cognitive
subject matter content is facts. We cant do
away with facts but be sure to go beyond facts
by constructing an increasingly richer and
more sophisticated knowledge base and by
working out a process of conceptual
understanding.
HERE ARE A FEW WAYS BY WHICH YOU CAN
HELPYOUR STUDENTS:

o PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPERIMENTATION


o PRESENTING THE IDEAS OF OTHERS
o EMPHASIZING CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING
HEREARESOME SPECIFIC STRATEGIES THAT CAN HELP YOU DEVELOP
CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING IN YOUR STUDENTS:

• ORGANIZE UNITS AROUND A FEW COREIDEAS ANDTHEMES


• EXPLORE EACH TOPIC IN DEPTH
• EXPLAIN HOW NEW IDEAS RELATETO STUDENTS OWN EXPERIENCES AND
TO THINGS THEY HAVE PREVIOUSLY LEARNED.
• SHOW STUDENTS THAT CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF SUBJECT
MATTER IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE OF ISOLATED FACTS
• ASK STUDENTS TO TEACH TO OTHERS WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED – A TASK
THAT ENCOURAGES THEM TO FOCUS ON MAIN IDEAS AND PULL THEM
TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE

• PROMOTING DIALOGUE
• USING AUTHENTIC ACTIVITIES
•3. Subject matter content is an
integration of cognitive, skill, and
affective elements.
• COGNITIVE - facts, concepts, principles, hypothesis, theories, and laws
• SKILL - thinking skills as well as manipulative skills
• AFFECTIVE - values and attitudes
