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.

The main Principle in Teaching Makabayan is to do Integration.

 Integration is characterized by the following: (Kovalik and Olsen,

1994) prefers questioning and problem solving to direct the process of
acquiring knowledge and skills.
 reflects the interdependent real world

experience
 bases its practices on the characteristics of the human learner and on
the interdependent nature of reality.
 provides holistic context for learning

solve problems

and global level.
