The K-12
Curriculum
Framework
The implementation of the K to
12 Curriculum of the
Department of Education paved
the way for the enhancement of
the Teacher Education
Curriculum of the Commission
on Higher Education (CHED).
The K to 12 curriculum framework in the
Philippines was primarily spearheaded by
the Department of Education (DepEd),
with support from various stakeholders
and international organizations. Former
President Benigno S. Aquino III played
a crucial role by signing the Enhanced
Basic Education Act of 2013 (Republic
Act No. 10533), which officially
implemented the K to 12 program.
One of the features of the K to 12
curriculum is the requirement to
equip
every graduate with the following
skills:
• information, media and technology
skills;
• learning and innovation skills;
The salient features of the K to 12
Curriculum have been thoroughly
considered to ensure that all the courses
in the teacher education program will
meet the demands of the 21st century
classrooms.
1. Strengthening Early Childhood
Education (Universal Kindergarten)
With the Universal Kindergarten program of
the Department, every Filipino child is
expected to have access to early childhood
education. This access can be facilitated using
technological tools that are readily available
to the school for teachers' use.
2. Making the Curriculum Relevant to
Learners (Contextualization and
Enhancement)
Research shows that learners will value a
curriculum that
is relevant to their lives Students are often heard
saying, "Do I need to know these to live a
meaningful life?" "How will I use this lesson in the
actual workplace?" "What is the relevance of this
to me?" and so on.
Use suspense and keep it fresh
Drop hints about a new learning unit
before you reveal what it might be
leave gaping pauses in your speech
change seating arrangements and put
up new and relevant posters or
displays.
Make it student-directed
Give students a choice of assignments on a
particular topic, or ask them to design one of
their own. "When students are involved in
designing the lesson, they better understand
the goal of the lesson and become more
emotionally invested in and attached to the
learning outcomes."
Connect it to their lives and to
what they already know.
Taking the time to brainstorm about
what students already know and
would like to learn about a topic
helps them to create goals.
Provide utility value
Utility value provides relevance first by
by telling them the content is important
to their future goals; it then continues
by showing I or explaining how the
content fits into their plans for the
future.
Build relatedness
Relatedness, on the other hand,
answers the question, "What
have these to do with me?
3. Building Proficiency (Mother-
tongue Based Multilingual
Education)
To be able to promote the child's
dominant language and to use it as a
language of instruction, maximum
use of technological tools is highly
encouraged.
4. Ensuring Integrated and Seamless
Learning (Spiral Progression)
Learning basic concepts that lead to a more
complex and sophisticated version of the
general concepts entail TPACK: Technological
knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and
content knowledge. Rediscovering concepts
previously presented as students go up in grade
level will be fully supported if all the areas of
specialization will be aided by technologies for
teaching and learning.
5. Gearing Up for the Future
The K to 12 Curriculum ensures
college readiness by aligning the
core and applied courses to the
College Readiness Standards (CRS)
and the new General Education
(GE) Curriculum.
The K to 12Curriculum focused on
developing appropriate Specialization
Subjects for the Academic, Sports, Arts
and Design, and Technical Vocational
Livelihood Tracks All of these
specialization subjects have to be
supported by educational technology
for better learning
6. Nurturing the Holistically Developed Filipino
(College and Livelihood Readiness, 21st Century
Skills)
To nurture holistically developed Filipino, every K to
12 graduate is expected to be ready to go into
different paths - higher education, employment, or
entrepreneurship. Every graduate is expected to be
equipped with information, media and technology
skills, learning and innovation skills, effective
communication skills, and life and career skills.
Undoubtedly, the most important person in
the curriculum implementation process is
the teacher. With their knowledge,
experiences and competencies, teachers are
central to any curriculum development
effort. Better teachers support better
learning because they are most
knowledgeable about the practice of
teaching and are responsible for introducing
the curriculum in the classroom (Alsubaie,
Curriculum is the planned
interaction of pupils with
instructional content, materials,
resources, and processes for
evaluating the attainment of
educational objectives —Jadhav and
Patankar (2013).
Curriculum is content, but when contextualized, it comes alive for
students. The role of teachers in the curriculum process is to help
students develop an engaged relationship with the content.
Active learning increases the focus and retention of the
curriculum, resulting in an exciting learning environment.
Teachers build lessons that include simulations, experiments, case
studies and activities to deliver a curriculum.
This interactive approach intertwines curriculum and practical
experiences that immerse students in learning. The curriculum
process provides an opportunity for teachers to be creative and
put their unique stamp on the classroom experience (Meier,
2018).
Teachers, on their part, have practical
knowledge based on their daily work
with students. This knowledge is useful
to curriculum committees because
teachers can assess whether the ideas
being developed will work in the
classroom (Young, 1988).
Integrating Technology
in Instruction
Various educators and researchers
provided the following concepts
and principles about integrating
technology in instruction:
John Pisapia (1994)
Integrating technology with teaching means
the use of learning technologies to
introduce, reinforce, supplement and extend
skills.
For example, if a teacher merely tells a student to read a book
without any preparation for follow up activities that put the book
in a pedagogical context, the book is not integrated. In the same
way, if the teacher uses the computer to reward children by
allowing them to play a game, the computer is not integrated.
On the other hand, integrating technology
into curricula can mean different things:
1) computer science courses, computer-
assisted instruction, and/or computer-
enhanced or enriched instruction.
2) matching software with basic skill
competencies
3) keyboarding with word processing followed
up with presentation tools.
International Society for
Technology in Education (ISTE)
Effective integration of technology is achieved when
students are able to select technology tools to help
them obtain information in a timely mannei analyze
and synthesize the information, and present it
professionally. The technology should become an
integral part of how the classroom functions as
accessible as all other classroom tools.
Margaret Lloyd (2005)
ICT integration encompasses an integral
part of broader curriculum reforms which
include both infra-stnictural as well as
pedagogical considerations that are
changing not only how learning occurs but
what is learned.
Qiyun Wang and Huay Lit Woo
(2007)
Integrating Information and Communication
(ICT) into teaching and learning is a growing area
that has attracted many educators' efforts in
recent years. Based on the scope of content
covered, ICT integration can happen in three
different areas: curriculum, topic, and lesson.
Bernard Bahati (2010)
The process of integrating ICT in teaching
and learning has to be done at both
pedagogical and technological levels with
much
emphasis put on pedagogy. ICT integration
into teaching and learning has to be
underpinned by sound pedagogical
principles.
UNESCO (2005)
ICT integration is not merely mastering the
hardware and software skills. Teachers need to
realize how to organize the classroom to
structure the learning tasks so that ICT resources
become automatic and natural response to the
requirements for learning environments in the
same way as teachers use markers and
Information and
Communication
Technology (ICT)
Moursund (2005)
ICT includes all the full range of computer
hardware,
computer software, and telecommunications
facilities. Thus, it includes computer devices
ranging from handheld calculators to multimillion
worth supercomputers. It includes the full range
of display and projections devices used to view
computer output.
Moursund (2005)
It includes local area networks and wide area
network that will allow computer systems in people
to communicate with each other. It includes digital
cameras, computer games, CDs, DVDs, cell
telephones, telecommunication satellites, and fiber
optics. It includes computerized machinery and
computerized robots.
Tinio (2009)
ICT is a diverse set of technological tools and
resources used to communicate, create,
disseminate, store, and manage information.
These technologies include hardware devices,
software applications, internet Connectivity,
broadcasting technologies, and telephony.
UNESCO (2020)
It (ICT ) is a diverse set of technological tools and
resources used to transmit, store, create, share or
exchange information These technological tools and
resources include computers, the Internet
(website, blogs and emails), live broadcasting
technologies (radio, television and webcasting), recorded
broadcasting technologies (podcasting, audio and video
players and storage devices) tand telephony (fixed or
mobile, satellite, visio/video-conferencing, etc.)
UNESCO
defines it also as a scientific, technological,
and engineering discipline and management
technique used. ICT also refers to handling
information, its application, and association
with social, economic, and cultural matters.
Ratheeswari (2018)
Information Communication Technologies (ICT)
influence every aspect of human life. They play
salient roles in workplaces, in business, education,
and entertainment. Moreover, many people
recognize ICTs as catalysts for change that include
change in working conditions, handling and
exchanging information, teaching methods,
learning approaches, scientific research and in
Ratheeswari (2018)
In this digital era, ICT is important in
the classroom for giving students opportunities to learn
and apply the required 21St Century skills. ICT improves
teaching and learning and helps teachers perform their
role as creators of pedagogical environments. ICT helps a
teacher to present his/her teaching attractively and
enables learners to learn at any level of an educational
program.
