firm commitment to our common goal as a nation. It entails the use of integrated units, which
enable the individual to personally process, assimilate and systematically practice wide range of
values and life skills including work ethic.
GOALS AND SCOPES
The teaching of Araling Panlipunan is expected to:
Contribute to the development of a holistically developed citizen who is aware and
knowledgeable of and critically analyzes current social issues and concerns in the local and
global level.
The words “mapanagutan” (responsible), “produktibo” (productive), “makakalikasan” (cares for

environment), “makabansa” (nationalistic) at “makatao” (cares for humanity) and phrases “na
may pambansa at pandaigdigang pananaw” (has national and global awareness) “at
pagpapahalaga sa mga usaping pangkasaysayan at panlipunan” (appreciation for current and
social issues) imply a relationship with another – either a person, a country, the world and
environment.
Indeed, it is social studies. This means that
Whatever knowledge, skills and attitudes that the Araling Panlipunan student acquires must
redound to the improvement of his/her community both local, national and global including
natural environment.
The development of his/her critical and creative thinking skills applied in his/her analysis of
current local and global issues and concerns is not done for its own sake but for him/her to
become more makatao, makabansa, at makakalikasan.
All forms of “learning to know”, “learning to do”, learning to be” must lead to a community of
people living together peacefully for that is the true essence of man as a social being and as one
meant to be social.

merits of competing arguments and make informed and value- based decisions.

on- minds-on-hearts-on". Students work individually or collaboratively, using rich and varied
sources, to reach understandings, make decisions, discuss issues and solve problems. Students

with learning materials.
