Curriculum
The ideal Filipino learners are empowered learners; who
are competent in learning how to learn and have life skills
so that they become self developed persons who are
makabayan (patriotic), makatao (mindfu of humanity),
Makakalikasan (respect of nature), and Maka-Diyos
(Godly).
Functional literacy is the essential ability for lifelong
learning in our dynamically changing world.
22.
The ideal teacher of the curriculum is not the
authoritarian instructor but the trustworthy facilitator or
manager of the learning process. She enables the
learners to become active constructors of meaning and
not passive recipients of information
The ideal teaching learning process is interactive where
the learners, the teachers, instructional materials and
information technology interact with one another
reciprocally.
