The concept of these two falls on the idea that students learned best when
experienced in the classroom have meanings and relevance in their lives. Things
students do and associated with them are the learning that lasts forever. Applying the
rule for learning by doing, applied to learn, and manipulative learning is also a must in
executing localization and contextualization in teaching. If students were put in an actual
learning environment letting them manipulate, relate, and adapt to various learning
opportunities and resources available within the locality or community, profound
learning will be assured and realized. It helps teachers and students comprehend
concepts by relating and presenting a lesson in the context of the prevailing local
environment, culture, and resources. Hence, lessons are becoming more real-life,
customized, and appropriate. That is why teachers should be adaptive and creative in
using localization and contextualization in teaching. Such principles were made and
adapted in the academe to make the curriculum responds, conforms, reflects, and be
flexible to the needs of the learners, especially the 21st-century learners who need to be
holistically and skillfully developed. Yes, it is true that sometimes we understand more
the concepts by relating them to ideas that we can easily comprehend, appreciate, and
relate in our lives, but the standards of quality and relevant education should always be
considered all the times and should not be compromised just for the sake of the
localized and contextualized lesson.
