What Works and What Doesn’t in the K-12 Curriculum; Insights for the MATATAG Curriculum Implementation

This case study examined how well-prepared teachers were for the K-12 and MATATAG curricula at one of the public elementary schools, exploring both the challenges and advantages of implementing these curricula. This investigated the curriculum implementers or teachers' views on their training and readiness, pinpointing strengths and weaknesses in implementation. The research also explored practical hurdles faced by teachers and administrators, including adapting teaching methods, managing workload, resource access, and integrating MATATAG. This also identified the perceived benefits of both curricula, focusing on student learning, teacher development, and stakeholder participation. By focusing on a single case of a school, the study offers practical insights into curriculum implementation, suggesting areas needing further support for successful educational reforms in the Department of Education.
