Pilit testing (CurDev)

2. Is one of the common practices of
curriculum makers to determine the strength
and the weaknesses of a written or planned
curriculum.
This process will gather empirical data
to support whether the material or the
curriculum is useful, relevant, reliable and
valid.

5. The students
were asked
regarding the
clarity of
instruction,
the sufficiency
of time to
accomplish the
activity, and
their
understanding
of the lessons
learned from
the activity.

6. The module
writers had to
determine the
level of
understanding of
the words,
instructions,
technical terms
and the concepts
of being
developed.

7. • The try-out provided information for
the final revision of the materials.
• The revised module from the second
try-out was finally used by the whole
class.
• The final try-out validated the result of
the first and the second try-outs thus
after the third try-out the materials
were ready for printing and
distribution.

8. The try-out or pilot testing
assures the teachers and the
schools that indeed the
curriculum materials are ready
for use.

10. The Basic Education
Curriculum (BEC) is the original
name of the curriculum to the whole
nationwide system in 2002.
But after one year it was
renamed as Revitalized Basic
Education Curriculum (RBEC)
because there are some
modifications, revisions, and
enhancement from the original.

11. Therefore, the pilot test or
try-out is a developmental
process that gives the signal
as to whether the particular
curriculum can already be
implemented with confidence.
