MATATAG Curriculum: A Position Paper


Objective: To write a position paper about the implementation of the MATATAG
curriculum.
Position paper is a written document that presents an argument or stance on a
particular issue or topic. It outlines the author’s position on the issue and provides
support for that position with evidence and reasoning. Position papers are commonly
used in academic settings, such as in Model United Nations conferences or debates,
but they can also be used in professional or political contexts.
Position papers typically begin with an introduction that presents the issue and the
author’s position on it. The body of the paper then provides evidence and reasoning to
support that position, often citing relevant sources and research. The conclusion of the
paper summarizes the author’s argument and emphasizes its importance.

Position Paper Format


Here is a format you can follow when writing a position paper:
Introduction: The introduction should provide a brief overview of the topic or issue
being discussed. It should also provide some background information on the issue and
state the purpose of the position paper.
Definition of the problem: This section should describe the problem or issue that the
position paper addresses. It should explain the causes and effects of the problem and
provide evidence to support the claims made.
Historical perspective: This section should provide a historical perspective on the
issue or problem, outlining how it has evolved over time and what previous attempts
have been made to address it.
The organization’s stance: This section should present the organization’s stance on
the issue or problem. It should provide evidence to support the organization’s position
and explain the rationale behind it. This section should also address any
counterarguments or alternative perspectives.
Proposed solutions: This section should provide proposed solutions or
recommendations to address the problem or issue. It should explain how the proposed
solutions align with the organization’s stance and provide evidence to support their
effectiveness.
Conclusion: The conclusion should summarize the organization’s position on the issue
or problem and restate the proposed solutions or recommendations. It should also
encourage further discussion and action on the issue.
References: Include a list of references used to support the claims made in the position
paper.
