Reengineering the Grade 7 Christian Living with Values Education (CLVE) Curriculum of De La Salle Lipa (DLSL): A Vehicle for Collaboration and Optimization
De La Salle University, Philippines
ABSTRACT
The huge increase of the Grade 7 population of De La Salle Lipa (DLSL) calls for a curriculum re-engineering of the Christian Living with Values Education Department (CLVED) being the core of its entire curricula as a private catholic school. It is in engineering the CLVE 7 Curriculum that these students who are new in the community can take active part into shaping its curriculum and would truly collaborate with the Department. It is also by giving them opportunity to work with the CLVD that would enable the members of the Department to collaborate and come up with a curriculum that is up to date and relevant where the needs and interests of the learners are addressed. Eventually, these collaborative efforts will provide satisfaction on the part of the learners as they are part of the process of reengineering the CLVE Curriculum using the ORIG - Agudilla Curriculum Design which I formulated. It is also expected that the learners will be more motivated through this collaborative effort thereby, optimizing learning productivity in the classroom. Furthermore, this research will prove the importance of collaborating with students in re-engineering curriculum regardless of its nature and scope.
