This is the continuation of Curriculum Development Lesson 3 Module III which is "Pilot-tesing, Monitoring and Evaluating the Implementation of Curriculum"

1. Module III
Leson 3
Pilot Testing, Monitoring and
Evaluating the Implementation
of the Curriculum

2. Pilot Testing
It is one of the common
practices of curriculum makers to
determine the strength and the
weaknesses of a written or planned
curriculum. It assures the teachers
and the schools that the curriculum
materials are ready to use.

3. The Basic Education Curriculum (BEC)
is the original name of the curriculum to the
whole nationwide system of education in
2002. But after one year it was renamed as
Revitalized Basic Education Curriculum
(RBEC) because there are some
modifications, revisions, and
enhancement from the original.

4. Therefore, the pilot test or try-out
is a developmental process that gives
the signal as to whether the particular
curriculum can already be implemented
with confidence.

5. Curriculum Monitoring
Monitoring is important to:
• Determine if the curriculum is still
relevant and effective
• Know if the curriculum is working or not;

6. • Provide decision on what aspects have
to be retained, improved or modified;
and
• Provide decision that would even end
or terminate the program

7. Curriculum Evaluation
Curriculum evaluation refers to a systematic
process of judging the value, effectiveness
and adequacy of a
curriculum: its process,
product and setting which
will lead to informed decision.

8. In practice, there are two ways
of curriculum evaluation
1. School-based evaluation
2. Accreditation

9. 1. School-based Evaluation
Is an approach to curriculum
evaluation which places the
content, design, operation and
maintenance of evaluation
procedure in the hands of the
school personnel.

10. For example, two
teachers may wish to examine
a science unit they are both
teaching. They will undertake
an evaluation in order to
improve their individual
teaching activities.

11. On the other hand, the
whole school may undertake
curriculum evaluation of the
mathematics program across all
levels in order to re-evaluate
school policy and initiate re-
development of the mathematics
curriculum.

12. Some advantages of the
School-Based Evaluation
• Accountability is shared by all, hence
bias and conflict are minimized.
• School personnel develop evaluation
skills.
• The real concerns of the school and
community are addressed by the
evaluation.

13. Some advantages of the
School-Based Evaluation
• Broad participation of school personnel
provide opportunities for building school
cohesiveness.
• Provides reliable and valid information on
curriculum, resources, and general school
functioning.

14. 2. Accreditation
Is a voluntary process of
submitting a curricular program to an
external accrediting body for review in
any level of education: basic, tertiary or
graduate school to assure standard.

15. Accreditation is viewed as a process by
which an institution at the tertiary level
evaluates its educational activities, in whole or
in part, and seeks an independent judgment to
confirm that it substantially achieves its
objectives, and is generally equal in quality to
comparable institutions.

16. The actual accreditation survey visits
are conducted by teams of accreditors usually
composed of five (5) members per team per
program staying in the host institution for a
period of three (3) days.

17. Among the many purposes of
accreditation are to foster excellence and
improve programs. The curricular accreditation
will assure the academic community, other
agencies and the general public that curriculum
meets standards comparable to other excellent
institutions offering similar programs.

18. What are the areas of accreditation under
Curriculum and Instruction?
1. Curriculum and Program Studies
2. Classroom Management
3. Instructional Processes or Methodologies
4. Graduation Requirements
5. Administrative Support for Effective Instruction
6. Evaluation of Academic Performance of Students

19. 1. Curriculum and Program of
Studies
Program of studies includes the
clusters of knowledge, skills, attitudes,
values and experiences that will provide the
students at any level with the necessary
competencies for effective learning.

20. For basic education, program of
studies includes the subject areas in
English, Mathematics, Science, Filipino and
Makabayan. Any program of studies should
meet the Department of Education
requirements for basic education.

21. While the CHED mandates the program
of studies for tertiary and advanced
education. The course or degree programs
are composed of general education
subjects, professional education subjects
and major subjects. They are also enriched
by subjects called electives.

22. 2. Classroom Management
The teacher who implements the
curriculum sees to it that management of
teaching and learning in the classroom
follows procedure and guidance to enhance
and create an environment conducive to
learning.

23. An environment conducive to learning
considers the physical factors such as
classroom physical arrangements, ventilation,
lighting, cleanliness; while the human factors
include the teachers’ attitude, students’
responses, teacher-students relationships,
student-student relationships and interaction.

24. 3. Instructional Processes or
Methodologies
The decision of choosing and using
the method of teaching is a crucial factor in
curriculum and instruction. There are varied
methodologies that are compatible with the
different learning style of the students.

25. 4. Graduation Requirements
Graduation means successful
accomplishment of the curricular
program of studies. A student has to
accomplish its academic program as
prescribed in the program of studies.

26. 5. Administrative Support for
Effective Instruction
A curriculum can be best implemented if
there is support of the school administration.
Quality instruction should be sustained by
requiring needed instructional materials, high
quality examination questions and other
support for effective instruction.

27. 6. Evaluation of Academic
Performance of Students
It is necessary that learning outcomes be
evaluated. After all the best measure of a
curriculum is the learning outcome of the
students. The evaluation of students’
performance should make use of valid and
reliable tools which are periodically reviewed
and revised.
