Answer briefly:
1. Which one principle of Oliva is reflected in the Lesson plan? Explain briefly.
Based on the sample Lesson Plan that I have used in the matrix, I could easily say that
Curriculum Development is more effective when it follows a systematic process. It is because
the curriculum design is composed of desired outcomes, content/subject matter
complemented with references, set of procedures, needed materials and resources and
evaluation procedure which can be placed in a matrix.
2. If you were to improve the design, what will you add, or subtract or modify? Write you
re-design suggestion.
If I were given a chance to improve the curriculum design, I will definitely put an emphasis
on my Intended Learning Objectives (ILO). Then I will definitely make sure that the curriculum is
well detailed and organized. I will also focus more on the content of the study because
eventually it is the content that will come out during the LET exam.

Self-Reflect
Instruction: Provide answer to the incomplete sentences. After reading and discussing with my
classmates, this lesson on fundamentals of curriculum designing or crafting a curriculum.
I realize that
Before a teacher designs a curriculum, he/she must think first the available resources in
the environment. If the study is needed and suitable in the present society because a relevant
curriculum should respond to changes brought about by current social forces, philosophical
positions, psychological principles, new knowledge and educational reforms. I realized also that
as a curricularist you need to be flexible and a master of your subject matter for you to be a
competent teacher. It would be great also if you know multiple designs or if you have plenty of
knowledge in crafting a curriculum.
I feel that
Being a curriculum designer or making a curriculum is not that easy, you need to have
multiple assessment or evaluation if the study is fit and necessary to the environment, I felt also
that you have to be more specific in dealing with the proper arrangements of the desired
curriculum.
I need to
Take into consideration the availability of the resources, the materials can be used in
designing a curriculum. I need to be more focus and updated in whatever changes that may
happened in the future so that I could still manage to compete to some other curriculum
designer and most especially I have to learn more because life is a continues learning process.
