Preface
Teaching multigrade classes – in which two or more grades are taught together –
is very challenging. Hence, there is a need for would-be teachers to become familiar with
the whats, whys and hows of multigrade teaching.
This module is composed of five (5) units. It has the following major components:
Short introduction. This presents brief generalization and salient point or view of
the unit.
Learning Outcomes. These are the target skills or competence that you are
expected to demonstrate at the end of the unit.
Assessment. This part intends to evaluate whether or not you acquire the intended
learning outcome.
Rubrics are also included in this module. These will help you reflect and self-
evaluate as you perform the learning activities or demonstrate the assessment tasks.
Now, are you ready to learn? Explore now and rationalize why multigrade really
matters!

Thank you for doing the activity. Your answers and reflections will help
you learn further what multigrade teaching is and why do it.
The next section shows the content of this unit. It contains vital
information of the topics based on the learning outcome. Please read the
content thoroughly.
Content
In the Philippines, the multigrade program is a policy directive and is one of the
features of elementary education. Public elementary schools were encouraged to provide
complete grade levels or to organize combination and multigrade classes in schools with
low enrolment. It was formally introduced to public schools to ensure continuous provision
of quality education services in far-flung, isolated and underserved communities in the
archipelago. Multigrade classes have been adopted as a strategy to ensure Education for
All, supporting the strategic direction of DepEd to expand access to and improve the
quality basic education (DepEd, 2019; SEAMEO INNOTECH, 2011).
Research shows that aside from providing access, multigrade instruction delivers
the same kind of education as monograde classes and in some cases, improves the
effectiveness of educational delivery and contributes to the social development of pupils
(Little,2004).
Multigrade class. In those areas, there are not many teachers or students so one
grade level includes students of different ages. These students are in one class, and are
taught by one teacher, although there are different grade levels. For example, one class
may comprise students in grades 1 and 2, or 3 and 4. Such a class is termed a multigrade
class.
A multigrade
classroom simply
means that there is
more than one grade
in the room, working
independently or
together, with each
student working
towards their
individual curriculum
goals for their grade
level.
• The curriculum for the grades being combined is integrated, that is, common
elements from the different year programs are combined into one program for the
class. There are not two or three separate programs operating, just one that
provides different levels of challenge to the students (Hill, 2002).
• The learning is student centered, not grade level centered, so students have the
opportunity to work at their level of ability, through the different levels of activities
provided by the teacher. The needs of the student determine the teaching and
learning; learning is student driven.
Why multigrade?
In the case of the • It adds value and versatility in the adoption and the
teacher application of multiple teaching/ learning methods and
techniques;
• It increases the creativity of teachers in the area of
resource production to model concepts, values,
knowledge, skills and attitudes to foster understanding of
the teaching/learning process.
• It builds the capacity of teachers in designing different
forms of assessments and monitoring strategies for small
class size.
All teaching offers challenges, and as a multigrade teacher you have specific
things to think about to ensure you get the best out of the students in your class. UNESCO,
(2015) outlines these challenges and the opportunities as follows:
But such a context makes it important to find innovative ways to break this isolation.
Groups of similar schools in a geographic area can create a cluster to organize regular
and frequent meetings. The local community can be involved in generating and sharing
resources and support for your school. And networks and partnerships with groups such
as community-based organizations can also offer suggestions for improving teaching in
your school.
1. Age 5. Experience
2. Ability 6. Motivation
3. Developmental level 7. Interest
4. Background
2. Teachers in multigrade classes need to develop their scope and sequence, year,
term and weekly programs, timetables and assessment strategies. They need to
KNOW THEIR CURRICULUM to make sure it fits the needs of the students. They
need to know how to find common elements in the curriculum to plan their learning
experiences.
That’s all for the content. Thank you for patiently reading and
understanding every detail.
Now that you have read and understood the concepts, please do the
learning activities that follow.
Learning Activities
1. Open up! Discuss your answer to the following questions. Write your thoughts inside
the box.
b. Do you think multigrade teaching is only suitable for remote schools? Do you think it
will address the issues and problems in schools? Explain briefly.
c. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of multigrade classes? What
effect does it have on student performance?
2. Easy essay. State your viewpoints on learning within multigrade classrooms in 500
words. Submit your output to our google classroom.
Bravo! You did a great job! You may now take the assessment.
