    Teaching Social

    Studies in
    Elementary
    Grades

    Group 1
    Preface For the
    social studies
    teachers and
    would-be teachers: "There is more in social studies

    that is worth learning and
    sharing, perhaps more
    significant than memorizing
    facts and reciting places and
    dates. Social studies is an
    important tool for genuine
    change and a substantial key in
    nation-building."
    Dramatically changed the teaching
    and learning landscapes.

    The 21st We have witnessed numerous

    century curricular reforms aimed at


    responding to the dynamic needs
    of the learners. Numerous
    innovations and initiatives have
    been launched to meet the
    evolving demands of the
    industry, as well as the society
    at large.
    Social Studies
    Ensures that all Filipino learners
    manifest civic competence

    (Araling
    Functional literacy where
    Panlipunan)
    democratic ideals

    Good governance are primordial


    concerns, thereby creating a
    critical mass of citizenry.
    Sad Story:

    Sadly, recent decades saw the decline of learners' interest in the social studies
    program here and abroad. This is due to the antiquated and irrelevant
    pedagogical tool employed in teaching that caters to rote learning such as
    enumeration of names, dates, and places. Students had learned to despise the
    discipline and rendered it irrelevant if not entirely useless. This is not to put
    the entire blame on teachers alone who became accustomed to lecture-
    discussion as the main strategy in teaching which averted the liberating goals
    of social studies education. Much has to do with the lack of government
    support in advancing the cause of a quality social studies education. Teacher
    education institutions, likewise, failed in providing research and evidence-
    based training to pre-service teachers. All these contributed to the dismal
    performance of Araling Panlipunan in the lives of learners.
    Lesson 1 What Is Social Studies?
    Objectives:

    Analyze the concept of social


    studies
    Distinguish the features of the
    Philippine social studies Trace the
    development of social studies
    Examine the challenges of the
    Philippine social studies
    Introduction

    Have you ever noticed the rapid changes around you?

    Technological breakthroughs
    Institutional reformation
    Process modification or even in vital details of everyday
    experiences for instance
    An abrupt decision made by one of your family members of
    living overseas or even by you shifting college courses due to
    some circumstances

    How do you then deal with these experiences?


    For you, It is important to experince this
    rapid changes?

    As a future Social Studies educator, it is a must for you to


    thoroughly understand how institutional changes affect the
    minute details of individual lives. This is vital as you effectively
    educate learners the dynamism of social interactions, an
    essential nomenclature in Social Studies curriculum.
    Come to
    Think:
    In 2017 UNESCO found out that the societies around the world struggle to
    keep pace with the progress

    Technology and globalization,


    Increasing individualization and diversity,
    Expanding economic and cultural uniformity,
    Degradation of ecosystem services,
    Greater vulnerability and exposure to natural and technological hazards

    So Education as a mechanism of support should likewise evolve if it is to


    sustain its relevance.
    Implementation of K to 12

    The K to 12 Basic Education Program implemented in 2012 is a


    response to the aforementioned global trends through the passage of
    Republic Act 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013.

    It expands and improves the delivery of basic education by producing Filipino


    learners who are equipped with the necessary skills and competence, and are
    at par with their international counterparts.
    The law clearly stipulated this in Section
    II which states that:

    Every graduate of basic education shall be an empowered individual who


    has learned,
    Through a program that is rooted on sound educational principles and
    geared towards excellence,
    The foundations for learning throughout life,
    The competence to engage in work and be productive,
    The ability to coexist in fruitful harmony with local and global
    communities, the capability to engage in autonomous,
    Creative,
    Critical thinking,
    The capacity and willingness to transform others and one's self.
    In order to actualize this, the State shall
    (a) Give every student an opportunity to receive quality education that is
    globally competitive based on a pedagogically sound curriculum that is at
    par with international standards;

    (b) Broaden the goals of high school education for college preparation,
    vocational and technical career opportunities as well as creative arts, sports
    and entrepreneurial employment in a rapidly changing and increasingly
    globalized environment; and

    (c) Make education learner-oriented and responsive to the needs, cognitive


    and cultural capacity, the circumstances and diversity of learners, schools
    and communities through the appropriate languages of teaching and
    learning, including mother tongue as a learning resource. (Section II)
    As gleaned from the K to 12 Basic Education
    Curriculum Framework below, every learner who
    completes the K to 12 basic education program will
    have been nurtured and developed to become a
    Filipino with 21st century skills. This objective is
    founded on the recognition of the nature, contexts,
    and needs of learners. The graduates of the K to 12
    Program will have the necessary physical, cognitive,
    socio-emotional, and moral preparation so they can
    determine their own purposes for learning in
    consideration of present and emerging needs of their
    immediate, local, national, and global communities
