Does Curriculum

Development end up with

evaluation?
Planning
Implementing
Evaluating
 Isa cyclical process which means
that after evaluating, the process
of planning starts again.
Evaluating Planning

Implementing
 Planning,Implementing and Assessing
are three processes in curriculum
development that are taken separately
but are connected to each other. The
cycle continues as each embedded in a
dynamic change that happens in a
curriculum development.
Planning
 Planning includes determining the needs
through an assessment.
 Needs would include those of the
learners, the teachers, the community
and the society as these relate to
curriculum.
 After the needs have been identified,
the intended outcomes are set.
 Intended outcomes should be SMART.
 It should doable, achievable and
desired.
 After establishing these, then a
curricularist should find out in planning
the ways of achieving the desired
outcomes.
 Together with the methods and
strategies are the identification of the
supporting materials.
 All of these should be written and
should to include the means of
evaluation.
 An example of curriculum plan is a
lesson plan.
 Many planners would say:“A good plan is
half of the work done”
 So, in curriculum development, a well
written plan assures a successful
implementation.
 The end product of planning is a written
document.
Implementating
 The planned curriculum which was
written should be implemented.
 It has to be put into action or used by
a curriculum implementer who is the
teacher.
 Curriculum plan should not remain as
written document. It will become
useless.
A curriculum planner can also be a
curriculum implementor. In fact, a
curriculum planner who implements the
curriculum must have a full grasp of
what is to be done. This is an
important role of the teacher.
 With a well written curriculum plan, a
teacher can execute this with the help
of instructional materials, equipment,
resource materials and enough time.
 The curriculum implementor must also
see to it that the plan which serves as
a guide is executed correctly.
 The skill and ability of the teacher to
impart guide learning are necessary in
the curriculum implementation.
Evaluation
 It is necessary to find out at this point,
if the planned or written curriculum was
implemented successfully and the
desired learning outcomes were
achieved.
 Curriculum evaluation as a big idea may
follow evaluation models which can be
used for programs and projects.
 These models discussed in the previous
lesson guide the process and the
corresponding tools that will be used to
measure outcomes.
 However, when used for assessment of
learning, which is also evaluation, more
attention is given to levels of
assessment for the levels of learning
outcomes as defined by the
Department of Education. The use of
the description for the proficiency the
learner is described by the qualified
values of the weighted test scores in
an interval scale.
 What has been planned
should be implemented and
what has been
implemented should be
evaluated.
 These guiding ideas clarify our
understanding that one cannot assess
what was not taught, nor implement what
was not planned.
