This document outlines an in-service training for teachers from March 15-19, 2021 on localizing and indigenizing intervention materials for least mastered competencies. It defines localization as relating learning content to local information and materials, and indigenization as enhancing curriculum competencies in relation to the learners' socio-cultural context. Examples are given of how to localize and indigenize specific math and science competencies using local community references. Least mastered competencies are defined as those not mastered by over half the class, not taught, or too difficult for learners. Teachers are tasked with identifying the least mastered competencies from the second quarter.

1. IN-SERVICE TRAINING
(INSET) FOR TEACHERS
March 15-19, 2021

2. LOCALIZING AND
INDIGENIZING
INTERVENTION MATERIALS
PER LEAST MASTERED
COMPETENCIES
Jerome M. Dela Cruz

3. Objectives
• Know the meaning of localization and indigenization.
• Know how to localize and indigenize instructional materials
• Identify the Least Mastered Competencies in second quarter.
• Make localize and indigenize Intervention Materials for Least
Mastered Competencies in Second Quarter.

4. Let Us Think
• What is localization?
• What is indigenization?
• What are Least Mastered Competencies?

5. Localization refers to the process of relating learning content
specified in the curriculum to local information and materials
in the learners‘ community.

6. LOCALIZATION
Learning
content

7. Examples of Localization
1.Examples used in lessons start with those in the locality
2. Names, situations, setting needed to give context to test
questions or problem-solving exercises are those of the
immediate community
3. Local materials are used as often as possible in making
instructional materials
4. Local stories are used in the language learning areas
5. Translating a story written in another language to the
language of one's learners for use in MTB-MLE

8. Indigenization refers to the process of enhancing curriculum
competencies, education resources, and teaching-learning processes in
relation to the bio-geographical, historical, and socio-cultural context of
the learners' community. Indigenization may also involve the enhancement
of the curriculum framework, curriculum design, and learning standards
of subject areas, guided by the standards and principles adhered to by the
national curriculum

9. INDIGENIZATION

10. Examples of Localization and
Indigenizationion
Competency;
Visualize the ratio of two given numbers (M5NS-IIh-22)
LOCALIZATION
• Use easily observable examples of ratio in the community
— One jeep, 4 wheels; one kariton, 2 wheels, one tricycle, 3 wheels
(depending on what is most common in the community)
INDIGENIZATION
• community activities or cultural practices that inherently use the concept of
ratio
— Ex. Bringing products to the market entails using a carabao
carrying sacks (one carabao is to 2 sacks)

11. Examples of Localization and
Indigenizationion
Competency;
Identify star patterns that can be seen at particular times of the
year
LOCALIZATION
• use the community's name for prominent stars, if they have,
while retaining the use of the Greek constellations and its
background in discussing star patterns
INDIGENIZATION
• Discuss the community's own calendar of star patterns and its
background before discussing the Greek constellation

12. Localization and indigenization are degrees
or levels of doing contextualization
• When we localize, we do not necessarily
indigenize
• When we indigenize, we localize

13. What are Least Mastered
Competencies?

14. • Are competencies that were not
mastered by half or more than
half of the class.
• Competencies that were not
taught.
• Competencies that are too
difficult for the learners to
understand.

15. Identify the Least Mastered
Competencies in Second Quarter
