Constructive Examination of Curriculum Evaluation of Senior High School
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the Senior High School (SHS) curriculum at DLSAU, focusing on the perceptions and experiences of both students and teachers. Through a mixed-method approach, the research employed survey questionnaires and focused group discussions (FGDs) to gather data from 107 students and 4 teachers. Four key domains were assessed: satisfaction with the curriculum, knowledge and confidence with the curriculum, preparation with the curriculum, and satisfaction with curriculum supports. The findings indicate a high level of satisfaction among both students and teachers with the SHS curriculum. Students praised the resources provided and the engaging lessons, expressing confidence in their ability to meet curriculum goals. Teachers reported comfort with curriculum implementation and its positive impact on their content knowledge. Furthermore, students felt well-prepared for higher education or skilled job opportunities upon graduation, attributing their success to the curriculum's ability to broaden their horizons and foster critical thinking. While the study highlights positive aspects, recommendations for improvement are proposed, including aligning competencies, updating content, enhancing teacher professional development, integrating interactive approaches, leveraging technology, and implementing regular feedback mechanisms. By addressing these recommendations, DLSAU can create a more inclusive, relevant, and student-centered SHS curriculum, better preparing students for future challenges and opportunities.
