The Legal Basis

RA 10533 Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013

Sec. 10.2 (d) and (h) – Implementing Rules and Regulations for RA 10533

“The curriculum shall be CONTEXTUALIZED and global;”

“The curriculum shall be flexible enough to enable and allow schools to LOCALIZE, INDIGENIZE, and enhance [the curriculum] based on their respective educational and social contexts.”

DepEd Mission

CULTURE-BASED EDUCATION

To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education where: - Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating environment; - Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner; - Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and supportive environment for effective learning to happen; - Family, community, and other stakeholders are actively engaged and share responsibility for developing life-long learners.

Contextualization

refers to the educational process of relating the curriculum to a particular setting, situation or area of application to make the competencies relevant, meaningful and useful to the learners.

Localization

As one of the degree of contextualization, localization is defined as:

the process of relating learning content specified in the curriculum to local information and materials from the learner’s community

Why do we need to localize and contextualize the curriculum and the use of learning materials?

In order for you to localize and contextualize the curriculum, “you have to think of where you are so that you can make the curriculum relevant to you.”

CONTEXTUALIZATION & LOCALIZATION

Contextualization & Localization

WHY?

WHAT?

In order to make the curriculum relevant to the lives of the students

The topics of all subject areas in the Most Essential Learning Competencies

WHO?

HOW?

Teachers, the implementers &Students, the performers

Improve teaching strategies to meet learning competencies

HOW?

Applying

Relating

Cooperating

Experiencing

Transferring

Students apply their knowledge to real-world situations.

Hands-on activities and teacher explanation allow students to discover new knowledge

Students take what they have learned and apply it to new situations and contexts.

Learning the concept to be learned with something the student already knows

Students solve problems as a team to reinforce knowledge and develop collaborative skills.

1. Relating

Learning in the context of life experience, or relating, is the kind of contextual learning that typically occurs with very learner. The curriculum that attempts to place learning in the context of life experiences must, first, call the student’s attention to everyday sights, events, and conditions. It must then relate those everyday situations to new information to be absorbed or a problem to be solved.

1. Relating

Example Subject Area: English Topic: Modals Contextualized Activity: Write a descriptive essay on their experiences during the pandemic considering the proper use of modals.

2. Experiencing

Experiencing—learning in the context of exploration, discovery, and invention—is the heart of contextual learning. However motivated or tuned-in students may become as a result of other instructional strategies such as video, narrative, or text-based activities, these remain relatively passive forms of learning. And learning appears to "take" far more quickly when students are able to manipulate equipment and materials and to do other forms of active research.

2. Experiencing

Example Subject Area: Science Topic: Solutes and Solvents Contextualized Activity: Perform an experiment that shows solutions of two substances found in your kitchen like sugar, salt, coffee with water.

3. Applying

Applying concepts and information in a useful context often projects students into an imagined future (a possible career) or into an unfamiliar location (a workplace). This happens most commonly through text, video, labs, and activities, and these contextual learning experiences are often followed up with firsthand experiences such as plant tours, mentoring arrangements, and internships.

3. Applying

Example Subject Area: TLE - Household Services Topic: Making Up Beds Contextualized Activity: Demonstrate the procedures in making beds. Prepare all the needed materials found at home and ask a family member to take a video while doing the task.

4. Cooperating

Cooperating—learning in the context of sharing, responding, and communicating with other learners—is a primary instructional strategy in contextual teaching. The experience of cooperating not only helps the majority of students learn the material, it also is consistent with the real-world focus of contextual teaching. Students must cooperate to complete small-group activities. Partnering can be a particularly effective strategy for encouraging students to cooperate.

4. Cooperating

Example Subject Area: MAPEH Topic: Fitness Contextualized Activity: Work with your classmates who are also your neighbors in dancing "Wellness is Life". Make sure to feature in your video some well-known places in your community. Watch the full video in youtube as your guide and take a video during your performance.

5. Transferring

Learning in the context of existing knowledge, or transferring, uses and builds upon what the student has already learned. Such an approach is similar to relating, in that it calls upon the familiar. Students develop confidence in their problem-solving abilities if we make a point of building new learning experiences on what they already know.

5. Transferring

Example Subject Area: Mathematics Topic: Angles Contextualized Activity: Draw a sketch of your locality and indicate the angles of the corners of every road in your sketch. Make sure to include important landmarks in your area.

Remember these:

To contextualize, teachers use authentic materials, activities, interests, issues, and needs from learners’ lives

Localization maximizes materials that are locally available

Localization and contextualization can be done in all subject areas

Remember these:

The localized or contextualized curriculum is based on local needs and relevance for the learners where there is flexibility and creativity in the lessons.

Teachers should create rooms for students to pose problems and issues and develop strategies together
