Learning Plans in the Context of
st
the 21 Century
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this chapter, you are expected to:

• discuss the role of technology for teaching and learning in
light of the K to 12 Curriculum Framework.
• review the K to 12 Curriculum Guide focusing on the
development of the 21st Century skills;
• review learning plans from various sources that integrated
ICTs into the teaching-learning process;

• plan activities integrating ICTs that would facilitate the
development of the 21st-century skills required in the
curriculum guide; and
• brainstorm about digital citizenship and relate this to the
development of the 21st century skills among learners.
The K to 12 Curriculum
Framework

• discuss the salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum requiring
ICT-pedagogy integration skills.
• analyze the learning competencies of every year level
according to the field of specialization of the pre-service
teachers.
• review some units in the curriculum guide with focus on the
development of the 21st Century Skills.
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
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.
One of the key features of the K to 12 is the
requirement to equip every graduate with the following
skills:
• information, media, and technology skills;
• learning and innovation skills;
• effective communication skills; and
• life and career skills.
The Salient
Features of the
K-12 Curriculum
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.
- The use of technology in Kindergarten by various schools is
very evident in teaching the kindergarten pupils the
alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors through games,
songs, and dances in their Mother Tongue.
2. Making 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.
- Students need to have a personal connection to a lesson
material which can be done through engaging them
emotionally or connecting the information with that which
they already know (Sara Bernard, 2010).

cited by Willis, Faeth, and 4. Provide utility value.

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 teachers
and schools are into developing learning materials to be
able to implement the MTB-MLE program properly
especially since there is a dearth and e-materials in the
mother tongue of the students.
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.
- Hence, K to 12 Curriculum focused on developing
appropriate Specialization Subjects for Academic, Sports,
Arts, and Design, and Technical Vocational Livelihood
Tracks.
6. Nurturing the Holistically Developed Filipino
- (College and Livelihood Readiness, 21st Century Skills)

- To nurture a 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, and life and career
skills.
TEACHERS ROLE IN
FACILITATION OF STUDENTS
LEARNING
Teachers play a very important role in the facilitation of
student learning by designing, implementing and
evaluating the curriculum. In the Philippines, teachers are
expected to actively engage themselves in curriculum design
to ensure that the K to 12 Curriculum will be best delivered to
fully realize its intended learning outcomes.
Teachers make decisions about how they will implement
the curriculum of their specific field of specialization. They
decide on how they must structure the activities of their
lessons and manage students’ responses and ideas. Hence,
the decision of teachers is very important. It has an impact on
the students’ learning. The following are points to consider in
identifying and understanding teachers roles as the
curriculum designers:
• 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 bout the practice of teaching and are
responsible for introducing the curriculum in the classroom
(Alsubaie, 2016).
• 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 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 the
curriculum committees because teachers can assess whether
the ideas being developed whether the ideas being
developed will work in the classwork (Young, 1988).
Step 1: Considering my Role as Curriculum Designer
With the points of reference provided about curriculum and the

teacher, participated in a face-to-face discussion with the whole
group about how your field of specialization (Ex. English) was
designed. In the discussion, you are asked to thoughtfully
consider your role as a curriculum designer. Go over the
Curriculum Guide and discuss together the essential features,
focus, and general content and performance standards of your
field of specialization or major per grade or level.
Step 2: Integrating Technologies fr Teaching and
Learning
After having an in-depth understanding of the general nature,
focus, and non-negotiable standards set for your field of
specialization, share with the group some technological
resources and tools that can help you deliver your lesson to raise
at a high level of excellence.
Brainstorm on how these technologies can be integrated properly
and how they will meet the important learning outcomes and
21st-century skills. Share the results of your group discussion in
the class.
Assessment no. 1
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:
1. How will technological tools for teaching and learning

promote the salient features of K to 12 Curriculum?
2. What are the 21st Century skills that are highly required to
be developed by your field of specialization? Rank them in
terms of the identified standards and competencies of your
curriculum guide.
