VISION
GOALS
14 FIELD STUDY 4
1. How important is the schools vision, mission, and goals in designing
the curriculum?
The schools mission is comparable to constitution which is the way
in which someone or something is composed and it sets the tone for
everything else. It helps in guiding of how the school will be run.
2. How did the students manifest that they have internalized their vision,
mssioin and goals?
The students manifest that they have internalized their vision,
mission and goals by being able to show in their minds and hears what
they have learned. Its not enough that they were bable to memorize
their vision and mission but rather it must also be depicted in their
actions.
FIELD STUDY 4 15
The first component of the curriculum is the learning goals and objectives
which are based on schools mission, vision and goals which are based schools
larger vision and mission but of course this schools vision and mission is also
aligned on the goals of education as stated on the Philippine Constitution.
Just like in our lesson plan our vision and mission serves as our guiding
stars for it allows us to decide what to be included in our curriculum and what is
to be omitted, it is also important that students must be aware of the schools
vision and mission so that they can internalized it and for them to set their
personal objectives.
When I was still in High school I wasnt even of my alma matter vision and
mission and I didnt even know the importance of these goals but now that I am
a future teacher and maybe a future curriculum maker someday Ive realized
the importance of the school goals. Ive also learned that the school objectives
should also reflect the needs and specialization of the whole educational
community. At the same time, the school goals should be supported with quality
educational experiences and learning content. And finally there should be an
evaluation to know whether our aim which is to develop a well balanced
individual is attained or not.

1. Explain why teaching and learning give life and meaning to the
curriculum.
Well, the curriculum is just a set of broad guidelines, a blueprint of sorts, an
Intention, a direction . This has to be Implemented, Operationalized, converted into Action,
Interpreted, .... It is done by the teacher through her year & lesson plans & then operationalized 'in
the field' with her students. The broad goals are interpreted into Achievable objectives & put into
action. Feedback from students & the dynamics of & within the classroom, help the teacher to
modify/tweak the curriculum or convey suggestions to the theoreticians or planners. Thus
curriculum building is a continuous, ongoing process.However, a curriculum is a dead plan if it is
not put into practice. And each teacher, while largely following & working within the parameters set
by the curriculum, modifies, changes, adapts, uses, objectifies the details as per the demands,
dynamics, demographics of her class. These little customizations are what make the curriculum
come alive, & help achieve/attain the goals & objectives set therein. Hence, while the broad
direction & parameters are set by the curriculum, the Individuals [teachers & learners] interpret it
in their own way & go about achieving the goals in their own way, factoring in the resources, time,
labour involved, etc. ; how to make each topic more interesting, interactive, relevant, usable, ....
2. Discuss why the deluge of information poses a great
challenge to both teaching and learning.
Because you can't learn everything, yet in order to choose what to learn, much
material must be evaluated in a fairly shallow manner. Now both teachers and students have to
teach and learn already in primary and secondary education how to critically evaluate and compare
online sources, instead of waiting to teach and learn those skills until after high school.

curriculum. If I were the one to modify, I would suggest the allotted time for the subjects be changed and the number
of topics should be lessen for the lower grades and give more focus on the major subjects such as Language, Science
and Mathematics. If this is done, I believe more time will be spent on learning the 4 language arts namely, Speaking,
Reading, Listening and Writing. It is also vital to give more emphasis on basic Mathematics for mastery development
to avoid wasting time with remedial classes in high school.
This is really a great demand to all teachers because we can only comply with what the curriculum requires.
Producing non-readers is not acceptable and is considered a failure on the part of the teacher. The distribution of time
for each learning area should be reconsidered because this is what our learners need at the moment.
When it comes to each subject the topics should be lessen because according to my research, the evaluation

Teachers should all be aware of this and try to act now before it is too late.

According to Edilberto de Jesus, president of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM), the results showed that the
Philippines has improved but is still at the bottom of Asian countries. We were once at the same level with Thailand.
Now Thailand is ranked 26th or 13 places ahead of us which is really showing that we really have problems in our
2. What curriculum models do you prefer? Why?
I personally prefer the learner-centered design model, particularly the experience-centered because I want
to give activities to my students which they are comfortable with and when they are proficient with their strengths,
the next step is to take them out of their comfort zone to test their weaknesses and provide experiences for them to
overcome these things.
I want to give my experience as an example with F.S. 4. I was comfortable with having to do tasks in this
subject with a lot of time in my hands, but suddenly I only have half of the days than what my classmates have to
finish this episode. It was August 2 when the episode was given and August 3-5 will be my seminar in Assumption. I
was nervous and sweaty hoping on that same day, August 2, I will find a resource teacher who will be willing to let
me observe without prior notice. If this fails, then I can only observe on Monday, the day before submission and that
would be really hard. Luck was on my side and I was able to see a teacher who was just starting their opening
prayer, I was relieved that she was even glad that I came to observe her class. Im thankful that I was able to get out
of my comfort zone and I was able to come out alive and hopefully victorious. This was really a working under
pressure scenario and I really had to pull out all my resources including human resources such as teachers to
provide my copy of BEC, and PSSLC in English so I can better understand the Horizontal and Vertical articulation. It
was seminar by day and typing by night. Research here and there and ofcourse putting together my observation
report from Mrs. Dizons class activities.
My point is, if I never had this experience, I wouldnt know that I can pass this hurdle and even pass my
report ahead of schedule. I discovered something about myself that I never expected. I just want to share this
feeling with my future students. The feeling of accomplishing something and gaining experiences for personal
FIELD STUDY 4 33
Though I said in the title that I like them all, the learner-centered
design is what I like the best. Teachers have it hard because they are
supposed to correct mistakes but we have to be ready of the consequences as
students may take it the wrong way and stop participating. We must find ways
of dealing with errors because the path to fluency must include a lot of
mistakes. The only way to make no mistakes is to say nothing and one will
never learn anything that way.
