1. Field Study ‘exploring the
curriculum’
Episode 4 “Bridging Educational Processes”
Guiller Javier Reyes „kay ganda‟
Mrs. Gemma Buera
Your Target
At the end of this activity, you should be able to identify educational programs that
connect the school with the larger historical, social, cultural, and political processes.
Your Map
For this episode, go through the following ramps:
Ramp 1. Visit a school and examine their calendar of activities. See how
the students, community stakeholders are involved.
Ramp 2. Identify the programs where the leaders create rewards for
certain practices in delivering services to the stakeholders. Record the
observations on the calendar of activities, programs and awards and the
participation of the stakeholders.
Ramp 3. Reflect on how the stakeholders participate in school activities.

2. Your Tools
For this episode, please use the activity form provided for you below.
Observation:
When there is an activity all of the students participate to be stakeholder...
Note: this information is based on the principal’s office:
“When there is an event the stakeholders always participate in any activity”
Draft: Calendar of Activities
August – Buwan ng wika
September – STRAA
October – Acquaintance and extra – curricular activities
November – unfilled (maybe the curricular planners are still
working for it maybe festivities is present)
December – December 16 – 18 end of class
January – Fiesta Gallore
February – Junior and Senior Prom and completing the graduation
requirements.
Your Analysis
How important is involvement of all stakeholders of the
school in the school’s programs and activities?
They are the main component which a school must have, because if we think
that there are no stakeholders, who will build up an institution? Stakeholders are
the liquid substance that support and broadening the needs of everyone
especially the learners. As we observed in a non – stop curricula. Activities are
always planned with the cooperation of stakeholders.
What specific principle of curriculum development justifies
the importance of cooperation and collaboration among all
stakeholders of the school?
Theory of mutual relationship, is the nearest principle of stakeholders in
collaborating to the school.

3. Reflection: „this message are for those people that who do
not care much for others hindi ko talaga maunawaan yung
ibang tao dyan crazy sila..... by the way since I‟m a
student from the beginning I can say that my gosh
stakeholders is very important ingredients to form a
community. Me as a stakeholder as a center of the
curriculum. Nothing can hinder the learners‟ interest
unless contrary to the purpose of moral custom. Seriously
„to ang aking reflection, based also in my experience malapit rin kasi kames a school kaya parang 2nd
degree of stakeholders kame kaya proud to be there.
“For those who can’t read conscience,
Are worst than the illiterate people”
- Guiller Kobak
My thoughts regarding the stakeholders is that without them, there
will be no component on how and what to do to achieve a certain
goal,..
Peace Concept on Focus:
Interconnectedness
All life forms on earth are connected to each
other for mutual support.
This is recognition that
each one of us, being members
of the society needs other people for our own needs.
No one can claim that he does not need
other people to survive as a human person.

Your Analysis

6. How important is it for teachers and curriculum planners to anchor their
curricular plans to specific theories and principles of curriculum development?
In a straight answer, when the teacher and other curriculum planners
made a plan with respect to the connections to the principles and
theories then we expect that the outcome will be meet the desirable
conditions.
Aside from the teachers, who else should be involved in the curriculum
planning? Expound your thoughts.
Certainly, the school staffs; the guidance counsellor, librarian the heads,
principals, parents, LEARNERS and all members of the faculties and
through this ever – evolving planning that what makes a school to be.
Curriculum is not as simple as it gets as a learner we do not consider the
norms as curriculum but curriculum as a norm in an institution, other
stakeholders are also involved without noticing like the DENR, LGU,
PRC, etc. And some NGOs, the Engineer particularly of designing various
buildings, nurses and medical employess, business, because school has
many business to do financially even doing the revenues of firm.
Reflection
From your FS experiences, take a look into your significant learning and
personal reflection. Express it in a simple poem. Then share it with your
classmates and your FS teacher.

NOTES ON MY PROCESS – ORIENTED ASSESSMENT PLAN
Del Remedio National High School
Date of Visit: August 8, 2011
Year level: 2 - C
Mrs. Gemma Buera
What are the best features of my process – oriented performance assessment
design?
The best feature of my process-oriented assessment method are breaking the ice
and suitable to the interest of the learners. The problems are moderately difficult
and it measures more traits integrative assessment.
What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my process –
oriented performance assessment design?
They must solve it mentally without any help from existing technologies and they
must cooperate among their classmates not as an individual. They must write
their solutions on the manila paper as their visuals in presenting their solutions.
What basic points should the user of this design consider?
The basic points that should be consider in this design are the learners because
they must be given focus regarding on their abilities and another is the materials
to be used must be well planned for the success of the design.

13. Organize your process – oriented performance assessment plan in a show portfolio with the following suggested entries:
 Learning objectives
 General performance task
 Learning episodes
 Assessment tasks
 Rubrics for assessing learning

TOTAL
Your Analysis
1. Do you think your originally designed process – oriented performance
assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective?
Why?/Why not?
Maybe, and I think since this process is not yet executed, however, it is
full of desirable competencies to measure the actual performance of a
child.
2. Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ process –
oriented tasks? Why do they need to assess them?
Process is more important because it tells us the way students perform
well on creating output products.
3. In what conditions can the process – oriented performance assessment
be used more appropriately?

15. It can assess more appropriately if the conditions are settled enough
like the environment and mood of teachers. And if the interest of
pupils are ready then a teacher can execute the process assessmet.
Your Reflections
Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings about your personal
strategies for making your efforts successful in this part of your FS.
Making this process – oriented assessment method is kind of a daring
and difficult to plan and as such I did it for the concern of my
profession I also reminiscence my sister, Janelle who also taught me to
do this with concern as she had experienced it years ago, now I’m fully
realize that it is really difficult to assess when it comes to teaching.
Thoughts:
My thoughts regarding the process – oriented is that is
not ordinary than that of my classmates, because
planning is a good step forward to accomplish such goals,
objectives, even aims as well.. I already knew that I
would accomplish this task..

Notes on my Product – oriented assessment plan
What are the best features of my product – oriented performance assessment design?
Making chart that connects real life situation and integrates to mathematical forms.

20. What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my product – oriented
performance assessment design?
When conditions are enough like learner’s needs and capacities
What basic points should the user of this design consider?
The financial status and personal relations.
ANALYSIS
1. Do you think your originally designed product –
oriented performance assessment can
appropriately assess the teacher’s learning
objective? Why?/why not?
Yup, my design formulates originality and concise
that measure different higher thinkings.
2. Why do teachers need to give attention to the
students’ product – oriented tasks? Why do they
need to assess them?
Product is a very important matter that reflects a learner.
3. In what conditions can the product – oriented performance assessment be used
more appropriately?
It can always used every time, but only in far time interval because if students
are required to pass products of different concepts and subjects then it is not
suitable and more on rely on students’ effort (psychomotor) less metacognition.
REFLECTIONS
When My sister told me to do this intently for
my requirements then I realize that creating

constructivism procedures who knows if
products were made FAKE by others especially
when surnames : starting ‘B’.
Peace Concept on Focus:
Equity
For the students, learning
becomes more meaningful if
there is equity in our assessment
practices. Since equity respects
individual learning styles
and student direction,
students’ performance increases.
Discuss with your FS classmate your thoughts on equity in assessment.
Then write down your thoughts as well as those of your classmates.
Please use the space below.
‚not all preachers are in mood of helping some are just satisfying
themselves for their own sake of interests and no sense that a teacher
will equip for the sake of his salary and reputation but he should think
that he is a teacher and not just compensated for needs intellectually
and IF however he will declare himself to cooperate with EQUAL role
in his status definitely he will gain fruit of betterment in respect of
different voices whether facing Pros and Cons. Since it make sense of
Liberalism, so why do?‛
