This means that education should be available to all Filipinos whatever their age,
creed, abilities, social and economic status. Educating all Filipinos is a very great

6. OBJECTIVES
Expressed in terms of competencies
in knowledge, skills and attitudes.
These determine the content which
focuses on the processes and skills
of learning how to learn rather than
on the content coverage of facts
and information.

7. CONTENT
Delivered using a variety of media
and resources. From the traditional
textbooks resources, teachers are
encouraged to use ICT and
community resources. Content is
contextualized so that the
curriculum is adjusted to the situatio
n and local culture.

8. MATERIAL
The use of multi-sensory materials is
encouraged in teaching. Real objects
, tri-dimensional models, audio-visua
ls and real life situations are effectiv
e tools in delivery of the teaching-l
earning process. The use of local or
community resources as well as tech
nology-driven support materials are
utilized in the learning environment.

9. TEACHING- LEARNING
PROCESS
Considers the learners as active partners rather tha
n objects of teaching. The learners are constructors
of meaning, while the teachers act as facilitators, e
nablers and managers of learning. let us learn the s
alient features of the 2002 BEC which is now being
implemented in all basic education schools of the c
ountry. Its aim is to raise the quality of education o
f Filipino learners and graduates. The BEC empower
s life-long learners through the attainment of funct
ional literacy.

10. TEACHING- LEARNING
PROCESS
Integrative teaching works best in the BEC. It is so
because, the curriculum is treated in a holistic
manner. The process is interactive, collaborative
and innovative.
Integrative Teaching comprises the following:
1. Thematic teaching
2. Content based instruction
3. Focusing inquiry
4. Generic competency model.

11. TEACHING- LEARNING
PROCESS
1. Thematic teaching - It links ideas to action and learni
ng to life.
2. Content based instruction - is the integration of cont
ent learning with language teaching. The language cu
rriculum is centered on the academic needs and inter
ests of the learners
3. Focusing inquiry - interdisciplinary approach that use
s questions to organize learning. Learners become cre
ators rather that recipients of knowledge.
4. Generic competency model- learners are enrolled in
three to four linked or related courses or subject area
s. In Makabayan for instance, competence can be clus
tered into personal development, social competencies
and work and special skills.
