Curriculum Mapping

and Curriculum
Quality Audit
Learning Objectives
O Define curriculum mapping and
curriculum quality audit
O Explain the benefits of curriculum
mapping and curriculum quality
audit
O Familiarize oneself of some examples
of curriculum maps
What is
curriculum
mapping?
Curriculum Mapping
O A model of designing, refining,
upgrading and reviewing the
curriculum resulting in a framework
that provides form, focus and function
(Hale and Dunlap 2010).
O It is a reflective process that helps
teachers understand what has been
taught in class, how it has been
taught and how learning outcomes
are assessed.
Curriculum Mapping
O This process was introduced by Heidi
Hayes Jacobs in 2004 in her book
Getting results with curriculum
mapping (ASCD, 2004).
O This approach is an ongoing process
or “work – in – progress”
Some curricularists would describe curriculum
mapping as making a map to success. There
are common questions that asked by different
stakeholders, like teachers, colleagues,
parents school officials and the community as
well. These questions may include:
O What do my students learn?

O What do they study in the first quarter?

O What are they studying in the school


throughout the year?

O Do my co-teachers who handle the same


subject, cover the same content? Achieve the
same outcomes? Use similar strategies?

O How do I help my students understand the


connections between my subjects and other
subjects within the year? Next year?
Curriculum mapping, may be able to
answer these questions above.
Furthermore, mapping will produce a
curriculum map, which is a very
functional tool in curriculum
development.
Benefits of
Curriculum Mapping
Benefits of Curriculum Mapping
O Curriculum mapping ensures
alignment of the desired learning
outcomes, learning activities and
assessment of learning.

O Curriculum mapping addresses the


gaps or repetitions in the curriculum.
It reveals if certain program goals or
learning outcomes are not
adequately covered or overly
emphasized in the current
curriculum.
Benefits of Curriculum Mapping
O Curriculum mapping verifies, clarifies and
establishes alignment between what students
do in their courses and what is taught in the
classrooms and assessed as their learning.

O The curriculum maps visually show important


elements of the curriculum and how they
contribute to student learning.

O Curriculum mapping connects all initiatives


from instruction, pedagogies, assessment and
professional development. It facilitates the
integration of cross-curricular skills.
Curriculum Mapping Process

There are many ways of doing things,


according to what outcome one needs
to produce. This is also true with
curriculum mapping. However,
whatever outcome (map) will be
made, there are suggested steps to
follow.
Example A.
O Make a matrix or a spread sheet.

O Place a timeline that you need to


cover. (one quarter, one semester,
one year) This should be dependent
on time frame of a particular
curriculum that was written.

O Enter the intended learning outcomes,


skills needed to be taught or achieved
at the end of the teaching.
O Enter in the same matrix the content
areas/subject areas to be covered.

O Align and name each resource


available such as textbooks,
workbooks, module next to subject
areas.

O Enter the teaching-learning methods


to be used to achieve the outcomes.
O 7. Align and enter the assessment
procedure and tools to the intended
learning outcomes, content areas,
and resources.

O 8. Circulate the map among all


involved personnel for their inputs.

O 9. Revise and refine map based on


suggestions and distribute to all
concerned.
Example B. (For a degree program in college)

O Make a matrix or a spreadsheet.

O Identify the degree or program outcomes (ex.


BEEd, or BSED)

O Identify the subjects or courses under the


degree (GenEd, Prof. Ed, and Major for BSEd)

O List the subjects along the vertical cells of the


matrix in a logical or chronological order.
O List the degree program outcomes along the
horizontal cell (use code as PO1, PO2...if
outcomes are too long to fit in the cell) PO means
Program Outcomes

O Fill up all cells.

O Cross the Subject and the Outcome, and


determine if such subject accomplishes the
outcomes as either Learned (L), Performed (P) or
given Opportunity (O). Place the code in the
corresponding cell.

O After accomplishing the map, use it as a guide for


all teachers teaching the course for students to
complete the degree in four years.
The Curriculum Map
O Curriculum maps are visual timelines
that outline desired learning outcomes to
be achieved, contents, skills and values
taught, instructional time, assessment of
the intended outcomes.

O Curriculum maps provide quality control


of what are taught in schools to maintain
excellence, efficiency and effectiveness.
It is intended to improve instruction and
maintain quality of education that all
stakeholders need to be assured of.
Sometimes, parents and teachers
would ask questions like: "Why is my
friend's son studying decimals in Mr.
Bernardo's class and my own son is
not studying the same in Miss Julia's
class when they are of the same of the
same grade level?" or "Why do some
of my students recognize the parts of
speech while others are totally lost?"
Alignment
O Alignment, either vertical or
horizontal, will also develop
interdisciplinary connections among
teachers and students, between and
among courses.
Vertical Alignment
O see to it that concept development
which may be in hierarchy or in
spiral form does not overlap but
building from a simple to more
complicated concepts and skills.
Horizontal Alignment
O "pacing guide" make all teachers,
teaching the same subject in grade
level follow the same timeline and
accomplishing the same learning
outcomes.
O Alignment, either vertical or
horizontal, will also develop
interdisciplinary connections among
teachers and students, between and
among courses. Teachers can verify
that skills and content are addressed
in other courses or to higher levels,
thus making learning more relevant.
Curriculum
Quality Audit
Curriculum Quality Audit
O Curriculum Quality Audit (CQA) is a form
of curriculum mapping. It is a process of
mapping the curricular program or the
syllabus against established standards.

O This process is supported by Susan Rafe


when she said that the best practice in
curriculum development and
implementation require that based
standard discipline embody certain
circular and program scopes and
sequences.
For those who want to engage in curriculum
quality audit, the following questions are worth
considering:

1. Is the curriculum planned, executed, and


assessed in accordance with appropriate
standards?

2. How does the school system conform to the


standards of quality in instructional organization
like specificity, quality and scope for teaching,
learning and assessment?

3. Are all students achieving success equally and


effectively? If not, what can be done about it?
Benefits of curriculum Quality Audit
1. Identify gaps, under and over
representation of the curriculum based
on standards
2. Ensures alignment of learning
outcomes, activities and assessment
to the standards.
3. Achieves an internationally
comparable curriculum as standards
become the basis of curriculum
analysis.
The Philippine Professional Standard
for Teachers (PPST) can be used as an
anchor in curriculum quality audit.

The Philippines has adopted and


implemented the PPST through the
Department of Education Order (DO)
42, s. 2017.
The first CQA in teacher education curriculum
in the Philippines was initiated by the
Research Center for Teacher Quality (RCTQ)

O -the Philippine Normal University,


O Cebu Normal University,
O West Visayas University, Western -
Mindanao State University and other
member university of the National Network
of Normal School (3Ns).
There are other standards that can be
used in the CQA aside from PPST.
CHED CMOs 74 to 83 are standards set
by Commission on Higher Education
specific to the degree program being
offered and the teachers who are the
outcomes of the programs.
