Curriculum planning
Curriculum sources and influences

Tyler (1949) identified three major sources of
curriculum: subject matter, society, and learners. Four
elements of curriculum: goal, content, learning
experiences, and evaluations. It is important to
understand the nature of the subject matter in order to
provide knowledge and skill that are essential to the
nature of the discipline. This also helps and selecting
and designing curriculum contents.
Society as source of curriculum
An important source of curriculum. Teachers need to
understand the culture, socio-economic, and political
condition of the people.
Learner as source of curriculum
Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on
Higher Education (CHED), Technical Education Skills
Development Authority (TESDA)
Discipline or subject matter as source of
curriculum
Tyler (1949) identified the nature of the discipline or
subject matter as one of the main source of
curriculum. The commission on higher education
(CHED) also prescribes guidance in different coureses
Curriculum influences
Stark and Lattuca (1997) identified three major factors
that influence curriculum development: external,
internal, and organizational influences. Stark and
Lattuca (1997) use the term curriculum influences to
refer to these three factors that are very influential in
curriculum development.

Students
Considered as the most influential among the
different curriculum influences especially in designing
the implemented curriculum. Students come from
different families with different cultures, religious
affiliations, beliefs, language, and socio-economic
status.
School’s Vision, Mission, and Core Values
Very influential factors in developing the curriculum.
Fundamentals bases in developing the curriculum
goals and objectives, content, learning experiences,
and evaluation. Included in all the lesson plans or
course syllabi to ensure that the core values of the
institution are included in the syllabi. Also reflected in
the planned, implemented, and hidden curriculum of
the school.
Admission Retention Policies and School
Rules
The third influential factor is the admission and
retention policies. This is an important part of the
intended and implemented curriculum.
Faculty members
Bring their educational background, experiences,
expertise, and personal, professional, and political
views on the institution. They are the key
implementers of the curriculum.
School administrators
Play an important role in providing curriculum
leadership in schools, colleges, and universities.
Accrediting agencies
DepEd and CHED, The accrediting agencies set the
necessary standards for curriculum, instruction,
faculty, and faculties, and influence how the curricular
programs are governed.
Government Policies and Agencies
Most influential in curriculum planning and
development. Department of Education issues
Department Orders (DOs) and memoranda that serve
as guide for all public and private schools in the
country. DepEd also prescribes the official curriculum
for basic education and issues the guidelines for
operations for private schools. CHED also prescribes
the faculty qualification, facilities, and other
requirements for the implementation and
administration of the courses.
Market demands
Market demands or the needs of the society are very
influential in planning and developing curriculum.
Alumni
Also considered as one of the external influences on
curriculum development. They are very helpful in
terms of donating money for supporting programs for
students, faculty scholarships, professional chairs,
school faculties, and financing students activities.
Media and Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT)
Media and Information and Communication s
Technologies (ICT) are two of the external curricular
influences. The presence of technology, especially the
internet, enable the students and teachers to access
almost all the information from online journals and
papers they need for teaching.
The Church and Church-related Agencies
 for religious school, the different religious orders and
the church play an important role in school. Many
religious institutions serve as extension programs or
mission programs of the churches and religious orders
that established them.
Schools Facilities and Other Resource
Very important in the implementation of the
curriculum. The respondents explained that school
facilities like classrooms, libraries, laboratories, ICT
equipment, dormitories, school clinics, guidance
office, canteen, chapel for sectarian schools, and
laboratories are very useful in providing quality
education, especially in implementing the curriculum.
