BEST PRACTICES: CURRICULAR INITIATIVES

ARALING PANLIPUNAN

I. Introduction

Araling Panlipunan is the learning area that lays most stress on the development

of social awareness, empathy and firm commitment to our common goal as a nation. It

entails the use of integrated units, which enable the individual to personally process,

assimilate and systematically practice wide range of values and life skills including work

ethic.

II. Rationale

It is quite a sad reality that most pupils find the Araling Panlipunan subject as a

boring one. Primarily, this is because the subject is dealing with the history, economics

and politics and even of government constitution and society. The contents of the subject

is highly objective in nature that it should be thought in exact and comprehensive way.

This finds that pupils boring and disinteresting sometimes.

Many teachers struggle with finding out how to motivate pupils to learn. And

because of this, teachers of Natu Elementary school thought and implemented some

practices to engage the pupils with the subject and to tap into their interests and help

improve their chances of academic success in Araling Panlipunan subject.
