Analysis

1. How important is it for teachers and curriculum planners to anchor their curricular plans to specific theories and principles of curriculum development?

Theories and principles of curriculum development is serves as the basis on what and how to teach the students. It will give the teachers an idea on what and how to plan, design and implement a curriculum. These theories and principles will make the curriculum more successful especially in implementation.

2. Aside from the teachers, who else should be involved in the curriculum planning? Expound your thoughts.

The teachers were not only the one who will involve in curriculum planning, all stakeholders in the curriculum must be involved in planning. Each stakeholder has an essential part in planning the curriculum in order that the curriculum will be useful and not be put into waste. Learners as one of the stakeholders must be involve so that all their needs and concerns will be addressed.

Reflection

In planning a curriculum all aspects of the learners, the learning environment and other elements should be considered. All stakeholders must be involved in planning the curriculum in order for them to address all their concerns about the curriculum.

 In the case of the new curriculum, teachers saw many lapses in it but teachers must be innovative enough for them to modify or change what was given to them. There is no perfect curriculum, all we can do is to do what is fit for the students need. We are the one who will adjust, the curriculum will adjust for us.
