MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 20

What is Effect Size and Why Does It Matter?

Effect size tells you how meaningful the relationship

between variables or the difference between groups
is. It indicates the practical significance of a research
outcome.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 21

What is Effect Size and Why Does It Matter?
A large effect size means that a research finding has
practical significance, while a small effect size
indicates limited practical applications.
The larger the effect size, the greater the impact of
an intervention.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 22

Effect Size
● According to Hattie, an appropriate goal of schooling
(in his words) is for students to achieve at least a
year’s worth of learning for a year’s input.

● To achieve this, we are looking at an effect size of

0.4 .

Effect Size
Currently, the Effect Size of introducing CE and making it a
focus of teacher professional development to bring about
change in student learning is 1.57, according to John Hattie, as
shared by John Pegg in his talk to CT, NEAP and TECS teams.

The implications of this figure are huge and cannot be

ignored!

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 26

There is an issue!!!

DepEd has good policies. In particular DepEd Order No. 35, s.

2016 concerning LAC is consistent with best educational
thinking internationally. The Policy on using LACs has been in
the Philippines for years before this DepEd Order.

However, few if any tangible improvements are evident.

Consider PISA and NAT results.

What might have gone wrong?

 Whole-School Approach to Curriculum Planning

Note: The Pilot in 35 schools focused on Grade 4 and

Grade 7 offers leadership in schools, a chance to practice
and learn about a ‘whole-school’ approach to curriculum
in Grade 4 and/or Grade 7 prior to working with more/all
Grades in coming years.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 48

 Whole-School Approach to Curriculum Planning

A whole-school approach to curriculum planning requires

school stakeholders to be involved, to trust and become a
part of the way forward. School stakeholders will be at
developmentally different places in willingness and
capacity to be involved in a ‘whole-school’ approach.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 49

 Whole-School Approach to Curriculum Planning

Purpose:
To ensure that there is a cohesive and
consistent curriculum offered throughout each
school in each Grade and in each subject.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 50

 Whole-School Approach to Curriculum Planning
To operationalize this,

school leaders need to:

 support fully the long-term change-management
challenge involved;
 have a clear vision for the approach;
 possess some curriculum expertise themselves;

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 51

 Whole-School Approach to Curriculum Planning

To operationalize this,

school leaders need to:

 allocate time for this initiative;
 ensure teachers have the needed time to plan
appropriately and implement the program; and
 be prepared to sustain staff efforts over time.
MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 52
 Whole-School Approach to Curriculum Planning

In order to do this, schools need to:

● Officially adopt the need for a coordinated, whole-school
approach to curriculum planning;
● ensure that curriculum planning is not left to individual
teachers in isolation but is a collective effort involving teams
of teachers and oversighted by School Heads;

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 53

 Whole-School Approach to Curriculum Planning

In order to do this, schools need to:

● develop thoughtfully Learning Action Cells (LACs)
established in a way that enable teams of teachers to meet,
discuss and plan learner learning, curriculum delivery and
assessment practices; and
● support strongly the development of collaborative
expertise groupings throughout the school.

INDUCTING NEW TEACHERS
• New teachers should be provided with robust induction programs
that introduce them to the school’s curriculum approach,
instructional methods, and specific curriculum materials.
• Pairing new teachers with mentors can guide them through these
processes can help them integrate smoothly into the school’s
educational framework.

COLLABORATIVE EXPERTISE (CE)

The concept of COLLABORATIVE

EXPERTISE in education concerns addressing
the need to improve student learning outcomes by
reducing within-school variability in teacher
effectiveness.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 76

COLLABORATIVE EXPERTISE MOVING FORWARD

Highlights the need to shift the education narrative towards

COLLABORATION,

This shift is critical if we, at the Department of Education, wish ultimately,
to lead schools, leaders, and teachers to help attain better learning outcomes
for learners.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024 77

 Improved Learning Outcomes for Students
Bureau of Human Resource and Organizational
Development

-Three Fundamental Ideas

1. Most effective learning occurs when you begin

teaching where the learner is at.
2. Learning is consistent with the way brain learns
supported by cognition research.
3. Teachers, in a school, work as a team.

78
 Summary of Three Ideas
Bureau of Human Resource and Organizational
Development

• Quality teaching can be promoted by three ideas evidenced by teachers:

1. Knowing their subject and how it can be taught, and

where to start;
2. Using knowledge of how the brain learns to guide
teaching approaches to support student learning; and
3. Working to establish and utilize collaborative expertise
to facilitate greater coherence in learning across their
school.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024

 Caselet:

Both Mr. and Mrs. Macaroni work at a private school.

The School Director sent them to a 5-day training program on
Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) using the SOLO model,
which provided them with opportunities to engage in all
activities that would enhance their teaching competencies.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024

 Caselet:

As a result, they were grateful and excited to

return to the school and apply their learning from the
HOTS training program.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024

 Caselet:

When they returned to school, they were eager to

meet with their School Director to provide feedback on the
training. When asked how to apply their training gains,
Mr. and Mrs. took turns answering verbally to the
questions, which irritated the School Director.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024

 My Takeaway

Individually, answer the following questions:

1. What made the school director felt irritated?

2. What could be the best way that Mr. and Mrs. Macaroni
give feedback?
3. What tangible thing did the School Director want Mr. and
Mrs. Macaroni to present?
4. What are the essential elements of a plan?

 WAP Rationale for MATATAG Curriculum

The Department of Education has pursued its

education reform, the MATATAG: Bansang
Makabata, Batang Makabansa Agenda, which sets
the new direction of the agency and stakeholders
in resolving basic education challenges.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024

 WAP Rationale for MATATAG Curriculum

Adopting the MATATAG Agenda allows the Department to

recognize the existing and expected realities, and
consequently, adopt appropriate measures to realize its
vision, hence making the MATATAG Curriculum, which is
responsive and attuned to the dynamic changes that come
MATATAG
Curriculum 2023
into play in the society.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024

 WAP Rationale for MATATAG Curriculum

The MATATAG Curriculum focuses on

foundational skills and embedding peace competencies,
building more resilient schools and classrooms,
strengthening inclusive education programs, advocating for
teachers’ additional benefits, and providing professional
development programs, among others.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024

 Significance of MATATAG Curriculum

By empowering school leaders with the necessary

knowledge and skills, the school community can foster an
educational culture that embodies the principles of the
MATATAG Curriculum and ultimately enhances the learning
experiences and outcomes for learners at the Kindergarten,
Grade 1, Grade 4, and Grade 7 levels.

MATATAG Curriculum Training | 2024

 Significance of MATATAG Curriculum

To articulate the general shape of the MATATAG Curriculum

and to ensure its full implementation, all the participants of
the training (teachers and school leaders) shall develop a
Work Application Plan (WAP).
