WEEK 3 REFLECTION

On the second lecture which is on week 3, and before we started our classes, our respective lecturer started to talk about our group assignment which is we all need to plan a curriculum. Miss Soinim also remind us to keep on posting our reflection on the blogs to see the progress and the understanding about the topic discussed in the lecture room previously.

What we have been discussed on the third lecture is the role of curriculum workers which is topic 2 on this subject. By the lecture session going, our lecturer explain about what is mean with the curriculum workers, who is the curriculum evaluator, what is the group involved in the curriculum advocates, who is curriculum developers, and how make teacher as a curriculum developers.  What I got from the lecture is, the curriculum workers is the people who work on curriculum that need to be focused on student behaviour, stressed on student learning experiences  and set the objective goals when learning takes places.  Moreover, to get this curriculum done, there need to be an evaluator and the curriculum evaluator roles are to collect, examine, and assess data to make sure the effectiveness and the efficiency. By them evaluating and examining the data, their reports are used as a decision making which is concern in student performance, materials used and teacher effectiveness in teaching. Besides, there will be a public that trying to influence what is been taught and how it is being taught in schools who is consist of curriculum advocates, that might be parents itself and educator or any members of general public. Other than that, curriculum developers are the one who create the curriculum and planned all the strategies, such as the one who planned KSPK or PERMATA curriculum that had been broadly used in our Kindergarten and nursery nowadays. Moreover, from what I understand, teacher can be curriculum developers if they have professional knowledge, commitment to change and improve themselves, and most importantly a team work.

As a conclusion, curriculum worker have their own roles to make sure the curriculum planned is appropriate to all parties related and give out the best outcome and fulfilled the needs of the learners.
