LIteracy categories:
1.Basic Literacy- the abillity to correspond visual shapes to spoken sounds
in order to decode written materials and translate them into oral
language or the ability to put letters and words. This would be akin to
recognizing that the equence of letters "b-a-s-a" forms the word basa in
FIlipino, even without understnading what it means.
Traditional or
Conventional MIller (1973) divides the conventional concept of literacy into three sub-
categories:
LIteracy 2. Comprehension Literacy - the ability to understand the meaning of what
is being read. to capitalize on the example above, this would be like
knowing that basa can mean either "to read" or "to be wet."
3. Functional of Practical Literacy - the ability to read (i.e., decode and
comprehend) written materials needed to perform everyday vocationals
tasks. this is the equivalent of reading the text "Ang bata ay nagbabasa."
and being able to understand that basa here refers to reading and not to
being wet.
Traditional or
Conventional
LIteracy Based on this conventional view of literacy, we notice two things for
reading, (and therefore literacy) to exist: (1) a text (consisting of symbols
and grammar) to be read; and (2) an meaning or message being
communicated bby the text for the rader to extract. without a text, there
would be nothing to read; wihtout meaning, the text is reduced to series of
incomprehensible doodles.
Traditional or
Conventional
LIteracy in MIller's definition of literacy, the act of reading implies a reading of
understanding. simpy knowing how to say a word (or a series of words) is
not the same as being able to understand what it means. wihtout
understanding of the meaning of the words, reading has not taken place.
Schlechty (2001) defines the concept of fucntional literacyas the state of
being able to read, but not well enough to manage daily living and
employment tasks that require reading skills beyond a basic level.
Roberts (1995) notes that in the past fifty years,
3. Less Job Security- In the global economy jobs are becoming more temporary and
insecure.
5. Cultural Impact- As the world becomes more unified, diverse cultures are being
ignored.
ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE/INTERDEPENDENCE
Instrumental culture
has defined instrumental policy in the context of
cultural policy as being 'to use cultural ventures
and cultural investments as a means or
instrument to attain goals in other than cultural
areas'.
How culture is instrumental for social development?
It is well known that culture is a key factor in sustainable
development and in securing the success of social change.
Hunting and gathering societies are the earliest form of society. The
members survive primarily by hunting, trapping, fishing, and gathering
edible plants. The majority of the members' time is spent looking for
and gathering food. A hunting and gathering society has five
characteristics:
For example, while some people breed animals, others are able to
produce tools or clothing, which allows for specialization in these
areas.
Developing Societies
It might seem that the answer to the question is a simple one; for
peace, But as we have seen earlier, not everyone values peace to the
same degree. What if, for a certain culture, it is easier to just destroy
anyone who opposes them rather than expend the effort needed to
come to a mutual undentanding?
In other words “Why should I value another culture, another
society, another person, more than myself and my own?”
o As you are, so will you behave, Key to genuine multicultural literacy is core
values - that is, what you, the teacher, really believe about people who are
different from you; not the kind of belief that you can just say you possess
when taking to your class, but the kind that determines your behavior when
you think no one is watching.
o Model more. Tell more. Young students, by nature, will have difficulty in
exercising empathy toward those who are different from them. The ability
is there, but it will naturally lack practice, It is therefore not enough that
teachers tell them to be more compassionate- you the teacher, must
model for them what empathy and compassion to often look like on a
day-to-day basis.
Globalization is the process of interaction and integration between people business
entitles,governments, and cultures from other nations, driven by international trade and
investment and supported by information technology.
Cultural Literacy is the knowledge and undentanding of the life of a culture to the point
where one can fluently participate in the activities of the said culture. This includes, but is not
limited to, its languages, traditions, values, beliefs , forms of entertainment, and worldviews.
Muticultural Literacy is the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure that any communication
with a culture different from our own is clear productive, and respectful such that their
differences are celebrated and neither culture is demeaned or treated as inferior.
The skills and knowledge required to be multi-culturally
literate are:
• 1.selfness:
• 2. knowledge that good and useful things can (and do) come from
those different from us:
• 3. willingness to compromise:
• 4. acceptance that there are limits; and
• 5. idea that we cannot be friends with everyone.

What is Social skills?
Social skills are the skills we use to communicate
and interact with each other, both verbally and
non-verbally, through gestures, body language
and our personal appearance. Human beings are
sociable creatures and we have developed many
ways to communicate our messages, thoughts
and feelings with others.
91
Parents typically play the
major role in teaching
children social skills.
Parents can directly teach
social skills by modeling,
role playing, and providing
opportunities for their child
to rehearse and practice
new skills. They should
encourage and praise the
child for successfully using
a new skills.
92
School is the place where
children spend the majority of
their time with peers. It is,
therefore, a natural and perfect
setting for children to learn and
practice social skills. While
teacher do not have to to teach
a class in social skills they can
take advantage of every
opportunity to help children
improve their social skills.
93
Pairing socially inept child with a
socially adept one involving children
in cooperative instead of competitive
learning exercises identifying and
acknowledging the strenghts of all
children, understanding social
weaknesses and creating an
environment in which diversity is
accepted and celebrated can greatly
enhance at children’s social abilities,
sense of belongingness and self-
esteem, not just in classroom but in
life as well.
94
How children develop their
social literacy is intrinsicaly a
contextual matter and is not
something that can be easily
fraced in a linear or
developmental fashion. The
acquisition at social literacy is
a complex process that is
historically and culturally
conditioned and context-
specific.
95
- There are two distinct ways of
answering the question on how
children learn to live socially with
each other and with adult.
- The first view is normative and
cummunal.
- The second view is pragmatic and
individualistic.

Financial Literacy in the Philippines
Setting financial goals is the first step to managing one‘s financial life. Goals
may be short, medium, and long-term, short term goals can be measured in
weeks and can provide instant gratification and feedback, ‗‘i will ride on the ilrt
instead of taxi ‗‘i will bring lunch every day ‗‘ are examples of short-term goals.
Medium-term goals should be accomplished within one to six month. These goals
provide opportunity for reflection and feedback and require discipline and
consistency, long-term financial goals can take years to achieve. These include
saving money for a down payment on a name, a chid‘s college education, and
retirement they may also include paying off a car, students loans of credit card

Chapter 5
MEDIA AND CYBER OR DIGITAL LITERACIES
Objectives:
• Realize that practical steps must be taken to develop these literacies early
children and cannot wait “until they are older”.
Media literacy - consists of practices that allow people to
access, critically evaluate, and create or manipulate
media.
Aufderheide (1993) – define it as the ability to access, analyze, evaluate,
and communicate message in a wide variety of forms”.
Christ and potter (1998) – define it as “the ability to access, analyze and
create message across a variety of contexts”.
Television
Radio
Newspapers
Books
Handouts
Flyers, etc.
According to Bayd ( 2014), Media Literacy education
began in the United States and United Kingdom as a
direct result of war propaganda in the 1930s and the use
of advertising in the 1960s. In both cases media was
being used to manipulate the perspective of those
exposed to it, thereby giving rise to the need to educate
people on how to detect the biases, falsehoods, and half-
truths depicted in print, radio and television.
What Media Literacy is NOT
• Criticizing the media is not, in and of itself, media literacy. However, being
media literate sometimes requires that one indeed criticize what one sees and
hears.
• Merely producing media is not media literacy although part of being media
literate is the ability to produce media.
• Teaching with media does not equal media literacy. An education in media
literacy must also include teaching about media.
• Viewing media and analyzing it from a single perspective in not media literacy.
• Media literacy does not simply mean knowing what and what not to watch; it
does mean “watch carefully, think critically.”
CHALLENGES TO MEDIA LITERACY
INFORMATION
WHAT IS
MEDIA
LITERACY?
Is the capacity to analyze, and evaluate the
power of the images, sounds and messages.
Media Literacy
– ability to identify different types of media and
understand the messages.
• We are now at a critical point with many environmental issues such as climate change
and rampant environmental destruction. Alienation from nature greatly contributes to
the aggravation of these environment problem.
Ecological literacy
• Refers to an understanding not only of ecological concepts but also of his place in the
ecosystem( Meena &alison 2005)
• The ecological literacy was first introduced by David Orr in 1959 in his essay "Ecological
literacy" he indicated that knowing, caring and practical competence from the
foundation for ecological literacy
• He pointed out that root of environmental crisis is the individuals inability to think
about "Ecological patterns" system of causation and long term effects of human actions
(ORR 1994)
Ecological literacy
• (ORR 1992) all argued that the ecologically interate person understand the
dynamics of the environment crisis, which includes an understanding of how
people have become so destructive.
The ecologically literate person of 21st century has a positive view of life,
grounded in the faith of interconnectedness and has the capacity to
competently perform significant life work and related task. Such a view
enables her to look upon the human experience positively and all loving things
compassionately.
Environmental literacy, eological literacy,
ecoliteracy.

McArdie and Wright asserted that
educators should make deliberate
connections with children’s first literacies
of art and play.

• Text user
• Text analyst and critic
Code Breaker
• Decoding the codes and
conventions of written,
spoken and visual text
Text Participant
• Comprehending written,
spoken and visual texts
Text User
Reasonableness
• Involves examining the information for fairness objectivity and
moderation.
• Fairness requires the writer to offer a balanced argument, and to
consider claims made by people with opposing views.
• A good information text will have account, recent tone, arguing or
percenting material thoughtfully. (Comprehensiveness, Objectivity is
difficult to achieve).
• Good writers, however try to minimize bias.
Support
• Support for the writers argument from other sources strengthens their
credibility, it can take various forms such as writing bibliography and
references and collaboration, it is a good idea to triangulate information
that is to find at least three texts that agree.
• Further research into the range at opinion or disagreement is needed.
• Reader should be careful when statistic are presented without
identifying the source or when they cannot find any other text that are
present or acknowledged the same information.
Text clustering
• Involves confronting students with tax which obviously
contradict each other.
• The task is to use whatever evidence they can find to
try to make judgment about where the truth actually lies.
• Sometimes this judgments are relatively easy :
• Examples : New report, fairytales, everyday text are
good materials for Text Clustering.
