SATISFACTION AND EXPERIENCE OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ON THE CONTEXTUALIZED LEARNING MATERIALS IN ARALING PANLIPUNAN 3

Abstract

Indigenous People’s Education Curriculum serves as a guide to provide opportunities for children. The study aimed to assess the satisfaction and experience of teachers and students on the contextualized learning materials in Araling Panlipunan (AP) for Grade 3 indigenous pupils in the Quirino District. The study employed a sequential explanatory design. The data-gathering tools for this study were semi-interview and a pre-designed survey questionnaire. The respondents for the interview were ten AP teachers and a principal while 100 AP Grade 3 pupils answered the survey questionnaire.  The researcher assessed what the respondents felt about the contextualized curriculum using thematic analysis, mean, simple linear correlation and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The emerged themes during the interview were challenges and successes, impact of the contextualized materials, and support for the implementation. Meanwhile, the data showed a strong sense of identity of the respondents. Hence, the contextualized curriculum helps pupils learn concepts that are culturally aligned with their environment, their culture, and their daily way of life. It is therefore recommended that maximum utilization of the contextualized curriculum be utilized in all schools of the district to have a better learning of the pupils.
