1st Semester of A.Y. 2020-2021
Welcome Note
Dear Students,
Welcome to Soc. Sci. 50! This subject has been offered and has been written to provide a useful
tool to provide a better understanding on how to teach Araling Panlipunan to elementary grades. In this
subject we are going to focus on the Philippine History and Government.
I am Maria Esperanza S. Macasarte, we will journey together for the next 6 weeks in this completely
blended course starting from November 9 to December 18, 2020 in a modular type of class.
In here you will find basic information about the course as well as resources for ensuring your success in
online distance education. Edmodo is the name of the online learning system we will be using. You can
access the course by visiting the Edmodo App on your smart phone device or via website on your PC
through edmodo.com by logging in with your account either Gmail or your phone number in this code aiqi2b.
If you have difficulty with your login, you can contact online help @support.edmodo.com. The course will be
conducted in Edmodo and serve for your quiz and submission of your activities every Monday of the week.
You are also required to register in Zoom for our consultation every Monday of the week just visit your
course guide daily. Aside from that, you need also a Messenger app on your mobile phone or personal
computers for the control of your daily attendances via poll and serve as our group chat in our class.
A blended course is the much like a face-to-face course; it takes a significant time commitment from you. I
expect you to spend at least 1 hour per week working on the material. While there will be ample time for
your material to work on, I made for you. It is for this reason; this will take 56 hours in 28 days.
If you need accommodations, please let me know as soon as possible. Please do not hesitate to
contact me if you are having difficulties, concerns or questions personally in my
[email protected] is the best way to contact me for a quick response.

COURSE MODULE MODULE WEEK NO.3
For meaningful, active, value-based and challenging Araling Panlipunan teaching, the following approaches are employed: 1)
constructivist, 2) collaborative learning, 3) experiential/contextual learning, 4) thematic approach, 5) conceptual approach, 6)
integrative, 7) interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches of teaching. Several methods and techniques flow from these
approaches. Examples are 1) Tri-Question, 2) Lesson indigenization, 3) Multiple intelligences and learning styles, 4)
Survey/interview and 5) Service learning.
Intended Learning Outcomes
Rationale
In the midst of globalization, schools must adapt to the emerging needs and challenges specifically in the development of
21st century skill-equipped and globally competent learners. In this topic this will determine the teacher’s methods and
techniques including skills on how to teach Araling Panlipunan students. Now that you have a clear picture on the intended
outcome of the teaching of Araling Panlipunan, let us find out how to go there. Let us find out effective and efficient ways of
arriving at our destination.

Discussions
The K to 12 curriculum guide describes the teaching approach in the teaching of Araling Panlipunan as
based on Konstruktibismo (constructivism), magkatuwang na pakatuto (collaborative learning), pagkatutong pangkaranasan
at pangkonteksto (experiential and contextual learning), pamaraang tematiko (thematic approach), pagsisiyasat (survey),
integratibo (integrative), interdisciplinaryo (interdisciplinary) and multididiplinaryo (multidisciplinary). They have been
explained in Chapter 3. But they will be explained here once more emphasis.
1. Constructivist approach – this approach is based on the assumption that the students come to class with entry
knowledge and skills. New lessons become meaningful when a connection is established between their prior knowledge
and the new learning activity. The students reflect on this new learned knowledge, continue to make connections to
other concepts learned and construct new meanings.
2. Collaborative Learning – this is based on the assumption that students learn better when they learn with others. Based
on the principles of synergy, what a whole group of students can do is more than the sum of what each student can do
separately. It is also supported by the fact that the students learn better in a cooperative atmosphere than in a
competitive atmosphere. Working with a group is less threatening than working alone.
3. Experiential and Contextualizing Learning – As the name implies, it is learning beginning with experience and ending in
experience. Lessons begin with a discussion of concrete experience and proceeds to an analysis and reflection of the
concrete experience that eventually leads to abstraction or generalization which is brought back to the realm of
experience for application of what is learn which is another set of experience which can be analyzed and reflected on
and so on. The cycle begins and ends with experience starts again.
Experiential Learning is inductive, Learner-Centered and activity oriented. Personalized reflection about an experience
and the formulation of plans to apply learning to the other contexts are critical factors in effective experiential learning.
The Emphasis in experience learning is on the process of learning and not on the product. Experiential learning can be
viewed as a cycle consisting of five phases, all of which are necessary.”
This is also called contextualizing learning because learning is rooted in human experience; meaning, the context of learning
is experience itself. Araling Panlipunan as a subject developes the following themes across the grades:1) tao, kapaligiran at
lipunan; 2) panahon, pagtutuloy at pagbabago; 3) Kultura, pananagutan at pagkabansa; 4) karapatan, pananagutan at pagka
mamamayan; 5) kapangyarihan, awtoridad at pamamahala; 6) Produksyon, distribusyon at pagkunsomo and 7) ugnayang
pang rehiyon at pangmundo. This is an evidence of the use of the spiral progression approach. To be truly spiral, this theme
is discussed in every grade level treated in an increasing complexity across the grades.
4.Thematic Method – As the name suggests, learning revolves around a theme. The K-12 curriculum guide for Araling
Panlipunan enumerates the following themes across the grades: :1) tao, kapaligiran at lipunan; 2) panahon, pagtutuloy at
3

COURSE MODULE MODULE WEEK NO.3
pagbabago; 3) Kultura, pananagutan at pagkabansa; 4) karapatan, pananagutan at pagka mamamayan; 5) kapangyarihan,
awtoridad at pamamahala; 6) Produksyon, distribusyon at pagkunsomo and 7) ugnayang pang rehiyon at pangmundo. Each
theme should be accompanied by focus questions.
5.Conceptual Approach – it involves the process of concept formation. Concepts are “mental constructions representing
categories of information that contain defining attributes” (Walker & Advent 1988).
The conceptual approach is a structured inquiry process where students figure out the attributes of a
group or category that has already been formed by the teacher. To do so, students compare and contrast examples that
contain the attributes of the examples with examples that do not contain those attributes (non-examples). They then separate
them into two groups.
The process of concept attainment, then, is the search for and identification of attributes that can be used
to distinguish examples of a given group or category from non-examples. To test if students attained the correct concept,
teacher asks them to give examples and non-examples.
The concept attainment process may proceed deductively (from rule/definition to examples) or inductively
(from examples to rule/definition). Conceptual approach is higher than content-focused teaching.
For interactive teaching the following variations of the conceptual approach may be employed:
Present all of the positive examples to the students at once and have them determine the essential attributes.
Present all of the positive and negative examples to the students without labeling them as much. Have them group
the examples into the two categories and determine the essential attributes.
Have the students define, identify the essential attributes of, and choose positive examples for a concept already
learned in class.
6. Integrative approach – this approach is anchored on the assumption that teaching and learning are more meaningful and
further enriched if lesson is connected to the disciplines (interdisciplinary) and is connected to real life experiences
(transdisciplinary). This approach integrates students’ experience so the experiential approach is in a sense an integrative
approach. The multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach are also integrative approach. Obviously, they integrate other
related disciplines in the lesson development.
For meaningful, active, value-based, integrative and challenging Araling Panlipunan teaching, the
following specific methods and techniques are suggested:
1. Tri-Question – this will enable the student to probe into events. Three Questions are asked: 1) what happened? 2) why
did it happen? And 3) what are possible consequences? In the lesson, you do not just ask what happen and that’s the
end. Digging into the “why” and asking how it affects the students and you and all others is indeed meaningful.
2. Moral dilemma method – in a moral dilemma a person is torn between two actions. What are the crucial features of a
moral dilemma? 1) the person is required to do each of the two actions; 2) the person can do each of the actions; 3)
person cannot do both of the actions. 4) the person thus seems condemned to moral failure; no matter what she does,
she will do something wrong (or failure to do something that she ought to do). The famous Heinz example illustrate moral
dilemma.
A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors’ thought
might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was
expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. He paid $200 for the
radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick women’s husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew
to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $1,000 which is half of what it costs. He told the druggist that
his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: “No, I discovered the drug
and I’m going to make money from it.” So, Heinz got desperate a d broke into the man’s store to steal the drug for his
wife.

Question: Should Heinz have broken into the laboratory to steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not?
3. Lesson indigenization – Another way of making Araling Panlipunan teaching integrative and meaningful to students is
indigenizing and localizing the lessons. In indigenization, concepts are explained using thought patterns, materials of
indigenous communities. Abuso, et al cite the following techniques of indigenizing:
1. Citing examples from the local culture related to the topic
2. Using indigenous knowledge – local songs, stories, poem
3. Using indigenous aids such as artifacts
4. Incorporating community resources in teaching – visit to scenic spots, inviting local people as
resource persons
5. Putting up learning resource centers where local artifacts are displayed
6. Discussing local problems and issues
7. Preserving local songs, dances and games
8. Using the local language in teaching
9. Participating in local celebrations (Abuso, et al TEEP, 2002, p. 54)
4. Using varied learning activities to cater to students’ multiple intelligences and learning styles. Refer to the figures in the
following pages.
Source: Harvey F. Silver, et al. So, Each May Learn, Virginia: Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development,
2000, p. 37).
“This is another group of learning style. Surf the internet for Harvey F. Silvers Learning Style.
5. The conduct of survey or interview to gather data, recording, organizing, analyzing and interpreting data to answer given
problems is “hands-on, minds-on, hearts-on” activity. Interviewing the elders in the community regarding history of the
town and officials of the town. The teaching and learning of Araling Panlipunan is active if it engages students in the
learning process.
6. Service learning that involves community projects that occur during class time falls under the category of multidisciplinary
integration.
At Topa-Topa Elementary school at Ojai, California, 5th and 6th grade students created pamphlets on the pros and cons of
pesticides to explain how crop pickers can protect themselves against the substances. Students passed out the
brochure, written in Spaniard and English, to workers and consumers throughout the Ojai Valley. Through the project,
students fulfilled state-required standards for language arts, science, and social studies (Ragland, 2002).
This means that the teaching-learning of the standards for subjects like language arts, science and social studies was
intensified by their making of pamphlets on the pros and cons of pesticides. The students learning their lessons and at
the same times served the community, an effective way of inculcating service-oriented. It is served learning indeed.
Activities
1. Research further, choose only one, and make a PowerPoint presentation (5 to 8 slides) that focus on their
assumptions about learning and their main features on the following approaches:
Constructivist, Collaborative Learning, Experiential/Contextual Learning, Thematic Approach,
Conceptual approach, Integrative, Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Approaches of Teaching.
