#7 Examples and Case Studies:
STEM Education Initiatives: In response to the growing importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, curriculum developers integrate these subjects to foster critical thinking and innovation.
Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE): DepEd integrates local languages into the curriculum to promote cultural diversity and improve learning outcomes among students from indigenous communities.
Environmental Education: Curriculum includes topics on environmental conservation and sustainability to instill ecological awareness and responsibility among young learners.
#9 Psychological and Developmental Factors:
Multiple Intelligences Theory: Proposed by Howard Gardner, this theory suggests that individuals possess different types of intelligence (e.g., linguistic, logical-mathematical), influencing how they learn and should be taught.
