K-12 Basic Education Program

We need to add two years to our basic education. Those who can afford pay up to fourteen years of schooling before university. Thus, their children are getting into the best universities and the best job after graduation. I want at least 12 years for our public school children to give them an even chance at succeeding.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK ARALING PANLIPUNAN

Social studies is the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competenceWithin the school program, social studies provides coordinated, systematic study drawing upon such disciplines as anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology, as well as appropriate content from the humanities, mathematics, and natural sciences. The primary purpose of social studies is to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world
(National Council for the Social Studies, NCCS, 1993).

PHYSICAL EDUCATION and HEALTH PROGRAM Conceptual Framework A graduate of the Physical Education and Health Program should be able to achieve, sustain and promote lifelong fitness and wellness. The programs rich and challenging learning experiences promote the development of the macro skills of practicing desirable health habits and performing movement skills. In order to facilitate the development of macro skills, the teacher is encouraged to use appropriate learner-centered teaching approaches, such as experiential/contextual learning; problem-based action learning; differentiated instruction; life skillsbased, value-based and movement skills-based strategies; personalized/coaching approach; and teaching games for understanding. This is not to exclude teacher-centered pedagogical strategies which are likewise applied. Each learner-centered is anchored on educational theories developed by theorists, expanded by other educators and validated by practitioners.

Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao Conceptual /Theoretical Framework

Moral values, as defined by Esteban (1989), refer to: universal truths which man holds to be good and important; they are the ethical principles which he struggles to attain and implement in his daily life. They are the ideals which transcend all time and space; those which are valid for all men regardless of race or religion; the ones which unite strangers, families, nationsall of humanitywith God (p.7). Moral values and universal truths must become the point of reference for individual and societal conduct. During these times of moral confusion and doubt, however, truth is often blurred and ethical principles are unclear. That is WHY the child needs education in values. He has a natural right to truth. He needs guidance and direction as he undergoes the process of internalizing values. He needs to conform his mind continually to truth and reality (p.37).

MUSIC AND ART CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

The Music and Art Program focuses on the learner as the recipient of the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for artistic expression and cultural literacy. The curriculum design is student-centered, based on spiral progression, and grounded in performance-based learning. Thus, the learner is empowered, through active involvement and participation, to effectively correlate music and art to the development of his own cultural identity and expand his vision of the world. As Music and Art are performance-based disciplines, effective learning occurs through active experience, participation, and performance, creative expression, aesthetic valuation, critical response, and interpretation. The skills that are developed include reading/analyzing, listening/observing, performing (singing, using musical instruments, movement, acting, and playing), responding, composing, and creating. The philosophical foundations from which standards and competencies are based include: A Process of Education by Jerome Bruner, Performance-Based Learning by Cleve Miller, Aesthetic Education by Bennett Reimer, Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner, and A Structure for Music Education by Ronald Thomas.

THE MATHEMATICS FRAMEWORK

Mathematics is one subject that pervades life at any age, in any circumstance. Thus, its value goes beyond the classroom and the school. Mathematics as a school subject, therefore, must be learned comprehensively and with much depth. The twin goals of mathematics in the basic education levels, K-10 are Critical Thinking and Problem Solving. We adopt the definition of critical thinking by Scriven and Paul (1987):

Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action.
On the other hand, we define Problem Solving in mathematics using Polyas (1945 & 1962) definition:

Mathematical problem solving is finding a way around a difficulty, around an obstacle, and finding a solution to a problem that is unknown.

 The Curriculum Framework for Science articulates goal and desired outcomes of the learners for Basic Education in the country. The framework is constructed around the development of functionally literate Filipinos who manifest scientific and technological literacy by being critical problem solvers, responsible stewards of nature, innovative/inventive thinkers, informed decision makers, and effective communicator. To advance this vision, the curriculum is designed and developed around the three domains of learning Science namely: understanding and applying scientific knowledge, performing scientific processes skills and developing and demonstrating attitudes and values. The acquisition of these domains can only be facilitated and manifested with the use of the following approaches: multi/interdisciplinary approach, Science Technology/, contextual learning, problem/issue-based learning and inquiry-based approach. The approaches are largely constructed based on sound educational pedagogy namely: constructivism, social cognition learning model, learning style theory and Gestalt psychology.

Framework for Science

Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan Framework (for the entire K to 12)

The learner demonstrates understanding of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes (KSVA) of Technology and Vocational Education (EPP+TLE+TVE=T&VE), and develop middle level skills that will enable him/her to start a business, gain employment, and /or pursue higher education.

Career Pathways in Technology and Livelihood Education

Career Pathways in Technology and Livelihood Education (CP-TLE) provides an enriched general education that will prepare our graduates for higher education, world of work and lifelong learning. At the end of the course the students will have the competencies for gainful employment and to set up their own business in the areas of Agri-Fishery Arts, Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Information and Communication Technology

 The world is now in the Knowledge age where the challenge of education is to prepare learners in the information drift and rapidly changing world. Students in this age must be prepared to compete in a global economy, understand and operate complex communication and information systems, and apply higher level thinking skills to make decisions and solve problems.

LANGUAGE ARTS AND MULTILITERACIES Framework

The Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum (LAMC) addresses these needs. This is the rationale why Mother Tongue, Filipino and English follow a unified framework which allows easy transition from acquiring and learning one language to another. The curriculum has five (5) components. Each component is essential to the learners ability to communicate effectively in a language leading them to achieve communicative competence and multiliteracies in the Mother Tongue, Filipino and English. The diagram in the shows that the heart and core of LAMC is making meaning through language and aims to develop graduates who are communicatively competent and multiliterates.

LANGUAGE ARTS AND MULTILITERACIES Philosophy

Language is the basis of all communication and the primary instrument of thought. Thinking, learning, and language are interrelated. It is governed by rules and systems (language conventions) which are used to explore and communicate meaning. Language is the foundation of all human relationships

LANGUAGE ARTS AND MULTILITERACIES Philosophy

Successful language learning involves viewing, listening, speaking, reading and writing activities and accuracy. Language learning should include a plethora of strategies and activities that helps students focus on both MEANING and ACCURACY.
Malone, Susan. 2006. Manual on MTB-MLE (Community-Based Program). UNESCO

LANGUAGE ARTS AND MULTILITERACIES Guiding Principles

All languages are interrelated and interdependent. Facility in the first language (L1) strengthens and supports the learning of other languages (L2). Acquisition of sets of skills and implicit metalinguistic knowledge in one language (common underlying proficiency or CUP) provides the base for the development of both the first language (L1) and the second language (L2)

LANGUAGE ARTS AND MULTILITERACIES Guiding Principles

Language acquisition and learning is an active process that begins at birth and continues throughout life. Learning requires meaning. We learn when we use what we know to understand what is new. Start with what the students know; use that to introduce new concepts.

STATEMENT FROM PRES. NOYNOY AQUINO

My view on this is larger than just the classroom. We should become tri-lingual as a country; Learn English well and connect to the world. Learn Filipino well and connect to our country. Retain your mother tongue and connect to your heritage."

vision:
MTB MLE For Relevant And Quality Education For All Children

Desired Impact: Learners are enjoying relevant and quality education which supports their home languages and cultures; learning outcomes are improved countrywide; and the Philippine is succeeding in its goal for Education for All.

What is Multilingual Education

Mother tongue-based multilingual education (MLE) is education, formal or non - formal, in which the learners mother tongue and additional languages are used in the classroom. Learners begin their education in the language they understand best their mother tongue - and develop a strong foundation in their mother language before adding additional languages.

Multilingual Education
The purpose of a multilingual education program is to develop equally in different languages starting in the mother tongue.

appropriate cognitive and reasoning skills enabling children to operate

Multilingual Education
is a structured program of language learning and cognitive development providing a strong educational foundation in the first language successful bridging to one or more additional languages enabling the use of both/all languages for life-long learning is based in the childs own known environment and bridges to the wider world.
