CURRICULAR ISSUES AND CONCERNS


5/12

Why are Filipino learners lagging behind

from their counterparts in our neighboring

countries of South East Asia in the

international test called TIMMS for Scienceand Mathematics?

Why cant our schools significantly raise the

level of performance of the learners vis a visnational standards?



6/12

Issues on the varied implementation of the

curriculum among schools and teachers.

Overcrowded classrooms do not provide a

good learning environment.

Illprepared teachers, poor attitude towards

change, and low morale have been thrown to

teachers.

Leadership support from principals.



7/12

IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES

Curricular innovations lack the sense of

ownership from stakeholders.

Those who are going to implement simply

tow the line or follow blindly.

Implementers lack full understanding of the

changes or modifications that they are doing.

The goal is unclear.

There is little support from other

stakeholders.


8/12

SUPPORT ISSUES

Some curricular innovations are results of

bandwagon but are not well-supported by

managers.

Changes and innovations are drastically

implemented even if the school is not yet

ready.


9/12

EVALUATION ISSUES

There is lack of monitoring and evaluation

after a new curriculum has been installed.

Inadequate monitoring activities to find out

curricular strengths or weaknesses and

problems.

There is no evaluation after the

implementation period thus the innovationcan not be judged as failure or success.


10/12

INNOVATION CONCERNS

With so many changes taking place in the

curriculum, many teachers are getting burn

out.

Teachers can not cope with rapid changes

and motivation is very low.

They would prefer the good old days and

stick to what they had been doing which arenot anymore compatible with the times.


11/12

COMMUNICATION CONCERNS

Only the managers or the proponents

understand the changes.

Those who are directly involved merely

follow hook line and sinker.

The people involved are not empowered.
