This module provides its readers relevant information on the nature, evolution and
goals of Social Studies as an essential program/ learning area in the curriculum. It traced back
the roots of the discipline and how it evolved through time taking into account the socio-
political dynamics as its background. Moreover, the unit underscores the discipline's distinct
nature as it examines Social Studies' integrative feature putting much premium on its
interdisciplinary.
This lesson is a continuation of the preceding topic focusing on the nature, intention,
and scope of the elementary Social Studies Curriculum. It is hoped that after this lesson,
significant insights will be acquired by education students as they face the challenges of
teaching elementary students.
These themes recur in several grade levels in which the degree of examination is
dependent on the content and skills focus.
The Elementary Social Studies Curriculum in the Philippine Basic Education is divided
into two key stages, namely the Key Stage 1 (Araling Pan/ipunan 1 —Araling Pan/ipunan 3) and
Key Stage 2 (Araling Pan/ipunan 4 —Araling Pan/ipunan 6). Each key stage has a corresponding
standard addressing vital competencies needed to be achieved.
K-3

paaralan, at komunidad, at sa mga batayang konsepto ng pagpapatuloy at pagbabago,
distansya at direksyongamit ang mga kasanayan tungo sa malalím na tungkol sa sarili at
kapaligirang pisikal at sosyo-kultural bilang kasapi ng sarilíng komunidad at ng mas malawak
na lipunan
This is the key stage standard for Kindergarten to Grade 3. As you will notice, the
standard is articulated in the vernacular since the medium of instruction used in teaching
Araling Panlipunan is Filipino. Experts and educators believe that the use of Filipino is
imperative if one is to examine and eventually understand the historical narrative and cultural
identity of an evolving nation.
It is clearly stipulated that Filipino learners in key stage 1 are expected to demonstrate
basic understanding and values of self, family, school, and community including fundamental
concepts on continuity, change, distance, and direction, employing significant and related skills
toward the attainment of an in-depth understanding of one's self in the context of his/her
physical and socio-cultural environment while being a member of a community and a bigger
society.
This standard is simplified in the Grade Level Standards, as seen below:
