Embracing the K-12 Curriculum: Accounts of Philippine Teachers and Students

Abstract

The Department of Education of the Philippines has implemented the K-12 Curriculum to both elementary and high school levels of Basic Education starting the school year 2012-2013. Thus, we can infer that the current curriculum is still in its infancy stage. Along with this stage is the dynamic change in the perceptions, reactions, and realizations of different stakeholders towards the new curriculum. In this facet, the study has examined various accounts of in-service and pre-service teachers and students to gain an understanding of how they approach the modern educational system.
