RA 7836 of 1994 (Fih Republic)Answer: A-The Educaon Act of 1901 was commissioned during the rst few years of the American Regime. It became instrumental in the establishment of a country-wide public school system paerned aer the American educaonal system. Aside from the free eleven-year basic educaon to children and adolescents, the Thomasites, a set of volunteer American soldiers and their family members, were tasked to come to the Philippines to be the rst teachers. English also became the medium of instruconin all public schools.2.Which is new in the teaching of TLE in the K to 12 curriculum?A. NCI is expected of the Grade 7 completer.B. Grade 7 TLE is exploratory.C. NC II is expected of the Grade 8 completer.D. Grade 7 and 8 TLE are exploratory.Answer:D- In the implementaon of the new K to 12 program, a signicant feature is on technical educaon in the secondary year levels. With this, Grades 7 and 8 will be an exploraon of the TLE student to the dierent strands in technical-vocaonal educaon (i.e., Agri-Fishery, Home Economics, ICT, and Industrial Arts). In Grades 9 and 10, students will choose a specic tech-voc course/strand to take in their TLE classes, and they will hopefully gain an NC I, at least, aer Grade 10. Then, they are encouraged to connue such course/ strand in SHS by taking the TVL Track/strands and achieve NC II at the end of Grade 12.3.How can the mul-grade system be set in place in order to respond to the needs of remote elementary schools where enrolment is low?A. Mainstream special with regular studentsB. Combine two to three grade levelsC. Assign teachers to specic grade levelsD. Upgrade students to a higher level

With this, the school principal opts to combine two to three grade levels whilereminding the teacher-in-charge to dierenate his/her lessons in intellectual level, interest, and/or outputs developmentally appropriate to the students.308The Teacher and the School Curriculum4.According to Arcle 10 of RA 10533, the K to 12 curriculum has the following features related with inclusive educaon, EXCEPT:A.

In the choice of the teaching methods, learning styles of the students should be considered.Answer:B -There is no single best teaching method as there are dierences in means, learners, outcomes, and possibilies.

Progression in teaching (spiral) is a feature of the K to12 curriculum but does not suce why the curriculum is connuously evolving in social contexts.11.
