Objectives
Content
Materials
Teaching-Learning Process
Evaluation

OBJECTIVES are expressed in terms of
competencies in:
KNOWLEDGE  Cognitive Domain
SKILLS
 Psychomotor Domain
ATTITUDE
 Affective Domain
These determine the content which focuses
on the processes and skills of learning how to
learn (Soft Skills) rather than on the content
coverage of facts and information (Hard Skills).

CONTENT is delivered using a variety of media
and resources.
Traditional
Books

ICT and
Community
Resources

Content is contextualized so that the curriculum
is adjusted to the situation and local culture.

MATERIALS The use of multi-sensory materials is
encouraged in teaching. The use of local or
community resources as well as technologydriven support materials are utilized in the
learning environment.

TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS considers the
learners as active partners rather than objects
of teaching.
The learners are constructors of meaning,
while teachers act as facilitators, enablers, and
managers of learning.

EVALUATION is encouraged to schools. This will
allow schools to make adjustments with
regard to:

Objective Content Materials Teachinglearning process
In order to achieve learning outcomes.

FOCUSING INQUIRY is an interdisciplinary
approach that uses questions to organize
learning.
Contents and concepts are given less importance
than the process of conducting an investigation
and communicating what was learned to others.
Instructional process is built around inquiry,
where teachers guide the students to discover
answer to questions.

GENERIC COMPETENCY MODEL Learners are
enrolled in three to four linked or related
courses or subject areas. In Makabayan for
instance, competencies can be clustered into:
1. Personal Development
2. Social Competencies
3. Work and Special Skills
