that “The State shall foster the
preservation, enrichment, and dynamic
evolution of aFilipino national
culture based on the principle of unity in
diversity in a climate of free artistic and
intellectual expression”

quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic
education where:
- Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive,
safe, and motivating environment

every learner
- Administrators and staff, as stewards of the
institution, ensure an enabling and supportive
environment for effective learning to happen
- Family, community, and other stakeholders are
actively engaged and share responsibility for
developing life-long learners
11. Contextualization
refers to the educational process of
relating the curriculum to a particular setting,
situation or area of application to make the
competencies relevant, meaningful and useful
to the learners

22. Localization and Contextualization
The curriculum is alive, it changes depending who
is implementing it, where and when it is
implemented.
In order for you to localize and contextualize the
curriculum, “you have to think of where you are so
that you can make the curriculum relevant to
you.” – Usec. Dina Ocampo
when we localize [the curriculum], we agree to it
This means that different areas in the country will
also use different materials, they will use different
instruments so that they can deliver the standards
of the curriculum.
24. The REACT Strategy
Curricula and instruction based on contextual learning
strategies should be structured to encourage five essential
forms of learning:
EXPERIENCING
25. Learning in the context of life
experience, or relating, is the kind of
contextual learning that typically occurs
with very young children. With adult
learners, however, providing this
meaningful context for learning becomes
more difficult. The curriculum that
attempts to place learning in the context
of life experiences must, first, call the
student’s attention to everyday sights,
events, and conditions. It must then
relate those everyday situations to new
information to be absorbed or a problem
to be solved.
.
27. Experiencing—learning in the
context of exploration, discovery, and
invention—is the heart of contextual
learning. However motivated or tuned-in
students may become as a result of
other instructional strategies such as
video, narrative, or text-based activities,
these remain relatively passive forms of
learning. And learning appears to "take"
far more quickly when students are able
to manipulate equipment and materials
and to do other forms of active
research.
29. Applying concepts and
information in a useful context
often projects students into an
imagined future (a possible
career) or into an unfamiliar
location (a workplace). This
happens most commonly through
text, video, labs, and activities,
and these contextual learning
experiences are often followed up
with firsthand experiences such as
plant tours, mentoring
arrangements, and internships.
31. Cooperating—learning in the
context of sharing, responding, and
communicating with other learners—is a
primary instructional strategy in contextual
teaching. The experience of cooperating
not only helps the majority of students learn
the material, it also is consistent with the
real-world focus of contextual teaching.
33. Learning in the context of
existing knowledge, or
transferring, uses and builds
upon what the student has
already learned. Such an
approach is similar to relating,
Students develop confidence in
their problem-solving abilities if
we make a point of building new
learning experiences on what
they already know.
36. • To contextualize, teachers use
authentic materials, activities,
interests, issues, and needs from
learners’ lives
• Should create rooms for students to
pose problems and issues and
develop strategies together for
addressing them
38. Take this self-test
1. Are new concepts presented in real-life situations and
experiences that are familiar to the student?
2. Are concepts in examples and student exercises presented
in the context of their use?
3. Are new concepts presented in the context of what the
student already knows?
4. Do examples and student exercises include many real,
believable problem-solving situations that students can
recognize as important to their current and possible
future lives?
After answering the short pretest on identifying contextualization and localization, I’m sure you still have queries and uncertainties that need to be address .But I’m also sure that this is not the first time you have encountered this world. In fact for the past 3 year of training since Grade 7. This iwas one of the sessions. In addition you might unconciously doing this or considering this as supervisors, master teachers or teacher in your respective places because contextualization have been refer to many terms like, CONTEXTUAL AND TEACHING LEARNING, CONTEXTUALIZED INSTRUCTION, EMBEDDED INSTRUCTION, SITUATED COGNITION, THEME BASED INSTRUCTION, CURRICULUM INTEGRATION , ACADEMIC-OCCUPATION INTEGRATION , INFUSED INSTRUCTIONS , DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION LEARNING COMMUNITIES, WORKPLACE LITERACY AND FUNCTIONAL CONTEXT EDUCATION …… Despite of these we should agree that it should only boils down to CONTEXTUALIZATION. AND IT IS EMPARATIVE THAT WE SHOULD KNOW IT’S LEGAL BASES… The firt two of these legal bases were taken from Philippines Constitution. Article XIV, Section 14 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution states that... ... Although contextualization is not clearly implied here, we can deduce the fact that it really supported the contextualization as reflected in the underlined phrase Filipino national culture... Filipino national culture brings a common context amidst of diversity. And the state has the accountability to make such preservation, enrichment and dynamic evolution of a Filipino Culture be possible
Also from National, state also recognizes the regional and sectoral needs and conditions. Therefore they are encourage to take into account local planning in the development of educational policies and programs
From the two cited legal bases from the constitution, the localization and contextualization gained clearer support Because here the two terms are actually mentioned. It’s in the RA 10533 Enhance Basic Education Act of 2013. Specifically…
Specifically in Sec. 10.2 (d) and (h) – Implementing Rules and Regulations for RA 1053. which states that “The curriculum shall be CONTEXTUALIZED and global;” See the word contextualized here is used as compared in the two legal bases from the constitution and we have to take note also aside from contextualized , that the curriculum shall be global. It also reflected here that the curriculum must have certain flexibility and this flexibility will enable and allow the schools to LOCALIZED AND INDIGENIZE . And what is also emphasized here is the fact that this flexibility must be based on their respective educational and social context. In this two section from RA 10533 it is noticeably that there are four key words related to contextualization like word CONTEXTUALIZED, GLOBAL, LOCALIZE AND INDIGENIZE. These four where not defined here.. The definitions of these four can be traced from DepEd Orders like a certain DepEd Order for Indigenous People Framework for Education.
Also, the DepEd Mission which states that…. … which among the words and phrases where contextualization and localization is construed have gained support .. Yes correct in CuLTURE-BASED education .. Because contextualization is one of the best mechanisms to achieved this culture-based education.
So after all the legal bases the Article IV Sections 5 & 1V, RA 10533 Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 section 10.2 d and h and DepEd Mission. Again these legal bases do not define localization and contextualization. So at this point let’s make the definition of contextualization and localization clear to all of us. Contextualization refers to the educational process of relating the curriculum to a particular setting, situation or area of application to make the competencies relevant, meaningful and useful to the learners . Relating the curriculum may also mean connecting information from the curriculum or simply connecting information to a particular setting , situation or area of application . This where the students have their own frame of reference ..Own frame of reference means … students own inner world of memory, experience and response whether it social, cultural, physical and pscyhological . But the question is why do we need to relate the curriculum to a particular context? Well the contextualization assumes that mind naturally seek meaning in the context, that is the environment where the person is located and that it does so through searching for relationship that make sense and appear useful . It is in the environment where the student discover meaningful relationship between abstract ideas and practical application in the context of real world. Concepts are internalized through the process of discovering , reinforcing and relating
* Show all the examples of examples and when discussing each examples ask the participants if this is good example of contextualization and justify the answer. * Ask facilitator validate their answering using the definition of contextualizatiion, variable of contextualization and other facts to consider.. At the end stress forms of examples like if it competencies, activities, assessment, art of questiong, program and subjects
On the other hand localization is the the process of relating learning content specified in the curriculum to local information and materials from the learner’s community. With this definition I would like stress that Localization does not come only with localizing instructional materials.. As stressed it’s about the local information or local condition or setting where the students have strong frame of reference? Remember the frame of reference? the inner world of memory, experience and response. And the variable local signifies strong variable in localization
* Show all the examples of examples and when discussing each examples ask the participants if this is good example of contextualization and justify the answer. * Ask facilitator validate their answering using the definition of contextualizatiion, variable of contextualization and other facts to consider.. At the end stress forms of examples like if it competencies, activities, assessment, art of questiong, program and subjects
Okay congratulation we are now clear with the definition of contextualization and localization.. And now let’s answer this question “Why do we need to localize and contextualize the curriculum and the use of learning materials?. Actually in answering this we can look at macro perspectives and answers are embodied in the acronym CGI which stand for Cultural Diversity, Geography, Individual.. Cultural Diversity.. It is really fact the we are really one of the most diverse culture in the world, our culture is actually attributed to the fact that it’s a melting pot of other foreign cultures and that is the reason why we have a very evident difference of cultural orientation. This differences brought influence to our need, interest and experiences. Also, our geography is also big contributory factor to the cultural diversity. And the third is individual the center of this educational process of contextualization and localization is the individual. Each individual is unique from other. Has his own interest, experience, orientation and needs. And all these must be address . The Localization and Contextualization are the best way to address these.
Higher than these is the fact that we need to make to curriculum relevant to the learners.. We need to bridge the learner from the classroom to real world.
As emphasized by USEC Dina “In order for you to localize and contextualize the curriculum, “you have to think of where you are so that you can make the curriculum relevant to you.” – Usec. Dina Ocampo”..thinking where you are also thinking of where the students are .. Remember in the education process the two actors are really inseparable..the teachers and the learners
In the second, when we localize we agree to it. That different areas in the country will also use different materials, they will use different instruments so that they can deliver the standards of the curriculum. Again.. This is true but remember that we are stressing that localization is not only about localizing the materials
When we talk of HOW TO LOCALIZE AND CONTEXTUALIZE. THERE ARE REALLY DIFFERENT WAYS ON HOW TO LOCALIZE DEPENDING ON THE FORMS (It is compentecy, activity, assesment, subject, program?)
Consider the other theories of learning that support Contextualization and Localization
Use of teaching strategies.
