The curriculum designs being used in Mindanao University of Science and Technology are the following:

· Vertical design –the vertical arrangement of course syllabus

· Discipline design – teaching scientific and technological subjects are the discipline

The curriculum designs being used by Mr. Ramo in his lesson plan are the following:

· Vertical design –the objectives, strategies, evaluation and assessment are arranged vertically

Reflection:

The impact of the curriculum design in teaching and learning is the well-arranged or proper arrangement of the curriculum to facilitate learning.

The varied designs make difference in the way I teach because through these; I can organize my lesson very well, know what strategies of teaching I could use and easy managing the flow of the class – from discussion to assessment of the learners.
