Reporter: Arnie A. Valera

8. The Curriculum
– a “trial and error” approach by
both students and teacher ensures
the constant reshaping of the
content to be learned as well as the
context in which learning occurs

9. The Curriculum
– a curriculum that does not lead
to a particular pattern

10. The Curriculum
– should include important values
to teach which are as follows:

11. 1. Striving for Diversity
– does not mean that students
shall be accepting cultural
practices and beliefs without
question

12. 2. Tolerance
–the acceptance of the differing
views of other people and the
fairness towards the people
who hold these different views

13. 3. Freedom
– considerable autonomy is given to
both teachers (localizing activities
in the classroom) and students (in
terms of their decision making)

14. 4. Creativity
–the ability to use the
imagination to develop new and
original ideas or things

15. 5. Emotions

towards a specific object which is
accompanied by physiological and
behavioural changes in the body

feeling that guides a person to
act a certain way without fully
understanding why.
