...COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PHILIPPINES AND U.S.A. B.S. NURSING CURRICULUM In Partial Fulfilment of The Final requirements for the Subject CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT ________________________________________ Prepared and Submitted by: ROTSEN J. JAMBONGANA, RN CHARMAINE S. DACLES, RN ANA TESSA SOLIGUEN, RN STEPHANIE VARELA, RN TRACY SARMIENTO, RN MICHELLE CAñA, RN PEARL DOLALAS, RN ________________________________________ Respectfully Submitted to: MRS. MERLE SALVANI, MN Professor MASTER IN NURSING University of St. La Salle March 2011 Abstract At the undergraduate level, individual college and university administrations and faculties sometimes mandate core curricula, especially in the liberal arts. But because of increasing specialization and depth in the student's major field of study, a typical core curriculum in higher education mandates a far smaller proportion of a student's course work than a high school or elementary school core curriculum prescribes. In the United States, most control over education rests with the various state governments. Each state has different laws and objectives for education, but the states generally permit schools and colleges to operate with considerable independence and autonomy. As a result, American educational institutions can vary widely in the type and quality of their programs. To maintain consistent standards of education, the U.S. Department of Education officially recognizes private accrediting agencies that...

...PREFERENCE ON THE PROPOSED K+12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM “If you want to plan for a year, plant a tree; for a decade educate people.” It is an old maxim that talks about the importance of education where it plays a major role in the progress and welfare of a nation. Thus, every nation has a high regard in educating its people. According to Nelson Mandela, one of an African foremost statesman said that “education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” It is supported by one of the approaches of curriculum which is known as reconstructivism where the long term purpose of education is promoted. They are trained to be professionals in the future that in the end will reform the society. Everyone has the right to education as what the Universal Deceleration on Human Rights stated. It is supported by the 1987 Philippine Constitution Section 1 of Article XIV that announces that “the state shall protect and promote the right of all citizen to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.” This creates an avenue for the children to have quality education so that they will have a bright future and a better quality of life that most parents want to achieve and this will be beneficial and helpful to the nation itself. In the Philippine Journal (2006), Moises R. Tamandong cited different ingredients for quality education. He stated the following: 1.Curriculum which caters to the needs of the learners...

...Quality education is not an easy concept to qualify. At a time when we are discussing a quality education for all our learners it is important to take time to understand this concept. The document Tomorrow's Schools (1995) had asked the following question: "What are considered to be the basic requirements of a quality education - one that is meaningful, worthwhile, responsive to individuals and social needs - and does each and every student, without fail get those requirements, regulated as these are by the principle of entitlement?" (p. 8) According to the Education For All: Global Monitoring Report 2005 - The Quality Imperative (EFA: GMR), two principles characterise most attempts to define quality in education: the first identifies learners' cognitive development as the major explicit objective of all education systems. The second emphasises education's role in promoting values and attitudes of responsible citizenship and in nurturing creative and emotional development." (p.17) Quality determines how much and how well children learn and the extent to which their education translates into a range of personal, social and developmental benefits. Goal 6 of the Dakar Framework for Action (2000) emphasises the need of a stimulating pedagogy. It is the teaching and learning process that brings the curriculum to life, that determines what happens in the classroom and subsequently the quality of the learning outcomes. The GMR emphasises six policy issues which directly impact on...

...Outcome Based Education in Language Classes of Tertiary Schools in Cotabato City by Pahima M. Milog A Thesis Proposal Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course Language Research March 2016 Chapter I Background of the Study Introduction Outcome-based education is an approach to education in which decisions about the curriculum are driven by the exit learning outcomes that the students should display at the end of the course. “In outcome-based education,” suggest Harden and colleagues, “product defines process. Outcome-based education can be summed up as results-orientedthinking and is the opposite of input-based education where the emphasis is on the educational process and where we are happy to accept whatever is the result” (emphasis original). There is a significant difference between outcome-based education and simply producing outcomes for an existing curriculum. Outcome-baseddoes not mean curriculum based with outcomes sprinkled on top. It is a transformational way of doing business in education. Outcomes-based education is not a single idea or set of procedures. Rather outcomes-based education is like democracy –there are many different versions practiced in different ways in different places, all with the label outcomes-based education. Examination of the different curriculum frameworks in the Australian States and Territories shows this to be the case, for all show some influence of principles of outcomes-based...

...DEVELOPING AN INCLUSIVE CURRICULUM: “EVERY TEACHER MATTERS” Keith A. Humphreys Centre for Advancement in Special Education University of Hong Kong The development of inclusive education practices have led to worldwide discussion of how best to deliver a more equal education opportunity for all. In Hong Kong this has led to the development of the concept of an inclusive curriculum for special schools. This paper looks at the implications of writing an inclusive curriculum that has common curriculum content for all pupils that is based on the State curriculum. Over a four year period, nine special schools for pupils of different designated disability collectively pooled their resources to work for one common curriculum goal. In doing so they discovered that the biggest challenge was to the teacher’s hearts and minds. Over 130 teachers were involved in the project. It required a significant paradigm shift in the way the teachers thought both about what they taught and how they taught. It required a common team effort within and across each school. It was apparent that providing equal opportunity to raise standards of education for the all the pupils required the recognition that every teacher had to change their way of thinking, every teacher matters. Introduction Four years ago, nine special schools embarked on a development program to work out an inclusive curriculum. When they met the schools were all designated with different disability responsibilities...

There is an absence of studies exploring relevance to national health care need, nurses’ accountability to their clients and outcomes of cumcula. There appears to be much interest in innovatory programmes, students’ experiences and sociological understandings, with some concern for specific aspects of cumcula generally recognized as being problematic. The number of qualitative or mixed methodology studies is compatible with process cumcula and with academic and professional validation.

...Managing a Quality Curriculum Outcome 1 I have been asked to write a report, which evaluates the concept of a quality curriculum by examining three models of curriculum in relation to one national/local guideline and two approaches. The national guideline, which I have chosen to examine, is Curriculum for Excellence and my two approaches are the Reggio and Te Whariki. Within all childcare establishments in Scotland we must work alongside curriculum legislation and government bodies. The current curriculum and legislations are all set by the government and must be followed at all times to ensure all children’s needs and developments are being met. We are required to follow all the educational frameworks and the Social Care and Social Work in Scotland (SCSWIS) set the care and standards. Model 1 – Development, Curriculum for Excellence and Lev Vygotsky. When working in a childcare environment a quality curriculum needs to be provided. A national curriculum, which is provided, in Scottish nurseries and schools for children aged between 3-18 years of age is ‘Curriculum for Excellence’. Curriculum for Excellence aims to achieve a transformation in education in Scotland by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum. The 3-18 curriculum aims to ensure that all children and young people in Scotland develop the attributes, knowledge and skills they will need to flourish in life, learning and work. The Curriculum for Excellence...

...all children’s development in an ethical, appropriate way and require a foundation of support for early childhood programs, professionals and families (NAEYC& NAESC/SDE, 2003). Learning standards are intended to set the bar for student achievement and in the primary years, they can be crafted to apply brain and development research in their implementations (Schiller& Willis, 2008). The most comprehensive set of standards for quality education and care in early childhood is known as Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) (NAEYC, 2009). Early learning standards will connect teaching practice and curriculum to government and community guidelines. This will ensure that young children receive quality care and will help us to achieve professional status. Throughout this paper, I will focus on why the implementation of standards across all areas of Early Childhood Centres will assist in their establishment while discussing the following topics: staffing, licensing and regulations, physical environment, health, safety and nutrition, curriculum...

...of the cut in government funding the prior policy of class size reduction was taken back after 1997 suggests that the government is reluctant to commit to funs for improving the quality of education. I agree with the authors view highlighting the government reluctance, as I would think because of the changes in society and globalization this should result in the government looking into more quality education for children and I think that teacher to student ratio plays a big part in students receiving more quality education when there are less children in the class as opposed to 40 students in one class, which is a big number in comparison to other English speaking countries. Basically the class size policy is where there is a reduction of state commitment in education. The reduced commitment comes from an increase in privatization of education and an increase or maintenance of teacher pupil ratio and efficiency reforms such as decentralization. Society Wide mobilization – which means the state, will transfer significant proportion of education expenses to parents Because Hong Kong parents has had less of the educational spending compared to parents of many other parts of the world, the reformers had proposed that the proportion of tuition fee to total costs of post secondary education should be appropriately adjusted. The significant reduction in government expenses is made in reversal of the prior policy of cutting down class size In order to improve teacher:...

...+ 12 Education :One Step Forward Even though Kindergarten+ 12 ( K+12) requires huge allocation for implementation, this flagship agenda of Department of Education will enhance the student's acquisition of more learning and thereby equip them with proper tools and skills that will enable them to succeed in college, become globally competitive and employable when they graduate from high school. The enhanced K+12 Basic Education Program seeks to provide for a quality 12-year basic education that each Filipino is entitled to. This is consistent with Article XIV, Section 2 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution which states that “ The State shall establish, maintain and support a complete, adequate, and integrated system of education, relevant to the needs of people and society.” Oppositions to the K+12 system, cite the huge expenditure the government needs to fund for this plan of action. In fact, the said department is oblige to cover salary of more qualified teachers. Moreover, the more students enrolled, the more facilities, books, classrooms and school supplies are in demand and need to prioritize. Furthermore, marginalized Filipinos will suffer more. Primarily, the parents who are truly not in favor of the additional expenses and additional years they have to wait longer before the investments to their child's education reaps dividends. However, under the K+12 intention is not just to add two years of schooling but more importantly to enhance the basic education curriculum...
