This is a curriculum investigation report from the Philippine Normal University Mindanao, part of the Multicultural Education Hub. It examines the Grade 10 Science topic Plate Tectonics under the MATATAG Curriculum, aiming to understand how curriculum documents translate into actual classroom practice, teaching, and assessment.
The report begins with a curriculum case profile, detailing the subject, competency, grade level, and rationale for selecting Plate Tectonics. It lists sources of material, including the official DepEd MATATAG K-10 Science curriculum guide, and explains the focus on foundational Earth Science concepts like plate movement and geological activities.
An evidence portfolio section describes four interconnected documents: the DepEd MATATAG Grade 10 Science Curriculum Guide, a Lesson Exemplar, a Learning Activity Sheet, and a Formative Assessment and Performance Task Rubric. Each document's relevance is explained, showing how they support the explicit, hidden, null, and enacted curriculum analysis.
The four-lens curriculum analysis covers the explicit curriculum, detailing learning competencies, objectives, content, intended learning outcomes, and prescribed learning experiences. It also addresses the null curriculum, discussing what is not taught, such as the psychosocial impact of geological disasters and economic consequences of such events, which are often excluded from instruction.
The report concludes with sections on curriculum alignment analysis, a conclusion, recommendations, and references, providing a comprehensive evaluation of how well the curriculum's intentions are reflected in learning activities, materials, and assessments.
