Social Studies Instruction:
Misguided or Neglected?
Main purpose of Social Studies:
To develop social
understanding and civic
efficacy
Is this purpose met?
What is the current scenario?
 Permission from DepEd and CheD for
college schools to advertise assurance
of work abroad which in turn promote
‘pull factor’ and lessen our own work
force.
 Our Education sector cannot provide a
subsidy program for our nurses, causing
them to pay a large amount just to get
experience.
 The government is even the one
promoting work abroad.
 The government is legislating redundant
and costly laws. Voter’s education is
already imbedded in the Social Studies
curriculum, why is there a need for
Comelec to legislate House Bill No.
5784?
 Social Studies seem to be ‘taken for
granted’ by our Education system and
the society at large: (1) reduction of the
number of hours of teaching and (2)
poor perception by people.
What is the rationale that they have
for shortening the time of Social
Studies?
 There is no more time for reinforcement, no
period for validating facts and guided research
works.
 Is it true that students will gain more learning from
experience outside rather than learning with the
guidance of the teacher?
 Have we not included the fact that media plays a
very important role in distracting our youths?
 There is a proliferation of misaligned
programs and activities.
 Invalid tests and evaluation tools (e.g.
National Achievement Test were about
places, dates and names instead of
important concepts and analysis of
these concepts)
Media supports colonial
mentality.
The Challenge to inculcate
Nationalism
 Strengthen love for culture
 Provide more opportunities in the country
 Provide more valid assessment tools to ensure
the achievement of Social Studies’ mission-vision
 Teach our future teachers well to be passionate
about their country
