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
* Examples of Contextualization

Nailalapat ang kahulugan ng Ekonomiks

sa pang-araw araw na pamumuhay ?
* Examples of Contextualization

Kung Ikaw ay bibigyan ng

pagkakataon na pumilii ng
sistemang pang-ekonomiya na
paiiralin sa ating bansa , anong
sistema ang iyong pipiliin ? Bakit?

Localization

As one of the degrees of contextualization,

localization is defined as:

the process of relating learning content

specified in the curriculum to local information
and materials from the learners community
* Examples of Localization

Nasusuri ang ibat ibang estruktura ng

pamilihan sa iyong komunidad na
tumutugon sa pangangailangan ng
maraming tao
* Examples of Localization

1. Kung ikaw ay Mayor, ano ang iyong higit na

bibigyan ng bigat sa paggawa ng desisyon,
ang benepisyo mula sa industriyalisasyon o
ang epekto nito sa kapaligiran at sa mga
mamamayan? Pangatwiranan

Localization and Contextualization
The curriculum is alive, it changes depending who
is implementing it, where and when it is
implemented.
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. Usec. Dina Ocampo
when we localize [the curriculum], we agree to it

This means that different areas in the country will

also use different materials, they will use different
instruments so that they can deliver the standards
of the curriculum.
Localization and
Contextualization

HOW?
The REACT Strategy
Curricula and instruction based on contextual learning
strategies should be structured to encourage five essential
forms of learning:

EXPERIENCING
 Learning in the context of life
experience, or relating, is the kind of
contextual learning that typically occurs
with very young children. With adult
learners, however, providing this
meaningful context for learning becomes
more difficult. The curriculum that
attempts to place learning in the context
of life experiences must, first, call the
students 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.
.
Halimbawa
 Experiencinglearning in the
context of exploration, discovery, and
inventionis 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.
HALIMBAWA:
 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.
HALIMBAWA:
 Cooperatinglearning in the
context of sharing, responding, and
communicating with other learnersis 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.
HALIMBAWA:
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,
Students develop confidence in
their problem-solving abilities if
we make a point of building new
learning experiences on what
they already know.
HALIMBAWA:
 Localization and
contextualization can be
done in all subject areas

Localization maximizes
materials that are locally
available
 To contextualize, teachers use
authentic materials, activities,
interests, issues, and needs from
learners lives

Should create rooms for students to

pose problems and issues and
develop strategies together for
addressing them
Are You Teaching
Contextually?
Take this self-test

1. Are new concepts presented in real-life situations and

experiences that are familiar to the student?

2. Are concepts in examples and student exercises presented

in the context of their use?

3. Are new concepts presented in the context of what the

student already knows?

4. Do examples and student exercises include many real,

believable problem-solving situations that students can
recognize as important to their current and possible
future lives?
5. Do examples and student exercises cultivate an attitude
that says, "I need to learn this"?

6. Do students gather and analyze their own data as they are

guided in discovery of the important concepts?

7. Are opportunities presented for students to gather and

analyze their own data for enrichment and extension?

8. Do lessons and activities encourage the student to apply

concepts and information in useful contexts, projecting the
student into imagined futures (e.g., possible careers) and
unfamiliar locations (e.g., workplaces)?
9. Are students expected to participate regularly in
interactive groups where sharing, communicating,
and responding to the important concepts and
decision-making occur?

10. Do lessons, exercises, and labs improve

students written and oral communication skills in
addition to mathematical reasoning and achievement?
