A lawmaker backed the Department of Education’s proposal to introduce a new subject that merges social studies, culture, history, and physical education for students from kindergarten to Grade 3. | DYGalvezINQ
Under the DepEd’s proposal, the new learning area is creatively named Sibika, Kultura, Kasaysayan at Kagalingang Pangkatawan .The agency said the two learning areas were merged as they are both multidisciplinary subjects that “[ignite] the [students’] nationalistic pride and fervor as a Filipino.”
DepEd said merging the subjects would result in teachers and students “having ample time to strengthen functional literacy, which includes but is not limited to reading comprehension, which is one of the identified causes of low educational achievement among Filipino students.” For his part, Romulo said merging the subjects would result in children’s “exponential growth” in their learning., saying combining the two subjects could potentially affect a student’s development of nationalism, cultural identity, and critical thinking in the early grade levels.INQUIRER.net wants to hear from you!
