 Introduction
This lesson is a continuation of the preceding
topic focusing on the nature, intention, and
scope of the elementary Social Studies
Curriculum. It is hoped that after this lesson,
significant insights will be acquired by
education students as they face the
challenges of teaching elementary students.
Think
Basic ideas and concepts relative to the development of civic
competence, cultural identity, nationalism, and citizenship, among
others, are introduced and explained in the Elementary Social Studies.
Though the Secondary Social Studies Curriculum is but a continuation
of the Elementary Curriculum and, up to a certain extent, inseparable
from the latter, there are significant differences nonetheless. This is
evident in the complexity and difficulty of the standards (i.e., content,
performance, and learning competencies) and the content focus of
each grade level.
Take Note
Following the expanding environment model,
concepts and ideas are explained in the context of
physical, socio-cultural, and political dynamics,
taking into account the age-appropriateness of
the learners.
Seven Themes
 01. People, Environment
and Society
Human interaction with his environment is one of the
fundamental concepts in Social Studies. This theme puts premium
on how human interacts not only with his environment but also to
a bigger society thus providing learners the opportunities to
locate him/her immediate environment, understand the impact of
human decisions to the environment and vice versa, examine the
dynamism of human mobility and realize his/her roles and
responsibilities as a member of the society and stewards of the
natural resources among others.
 02. Time, Continuity
and Change
Essential in the understanding of cultural and
national identity is the evolution and development of a
given society. Central in this study is the concept of
time that serves as the contextual basis and
foundation in the analysis of social dynamics.
Chronological thinking allows learners to distinguish
past from present, examine the changing belief
systems, social structures and institutions, and
understand the concept of historical significance.
03. Culture, Identity and
Nationhood
Identity is anchored on culture which pertains to the
complex whole that includes belief system, values,
tradition, language, and arts of a group of people in a
given society. This theme provides learners the
opportunities to develop their identity as individual, as
youth and as a Filipino. This identity is the basis of
national pride which is essential in understanding and
participating in international and global arena.
04. Rights, Responsibilities and
Citizenship
Civic competence is grounded on how citizens
understand and value their role as members
of society and how they acknowledge their
rights, roles and responsibilities as citizens.
This is vital as they fully and meaningfully
engage in their respective community,
country and even in the community of
nations.
 05. Power, Authority
and Governance
Central in citizenship education is understanding the
concept of the use of power in advocating the
common good and the importance of democratic
processes in realizing good governance. This theme
includes the examination of the Philippine
Constitution, highlighting the serious responsibilities
of government leaders in various levels of
governance.
06. Production, Distribution and
Consumption
This theme provides learning experiences that allow students
understand economic concepts such as choice, opportunity
costs, expenditure, inflation, deficit, sound economic decision,
savings, investments, and financial literacy among others.
These technical concepts are learned in the context of history
and socio-cultural experiences of Filipinos.
 07. Regional and Global
Connections
The Philippines is a member of a bigger
community called global village. This theme
affords learners to appreciate how the
country influences the rest of the world and
how it was influenced in return in terms of
the mobility of ideas, people, and products,
NOTE:
The Elementary Social Studies Curriculum in the
Philippine Basic Education is divided into two
key stages, namely the Key Stage 1 (Araling
Panlipunan 1 - Araling Panlipunan 3) and Key
Stage 2 (Araling Panlipunan 4 - Araling
Panlipunan 6). Each key stage has a
corresponding standard addressing vital
competencies needed to be achieved.

malalim na pag-unawa tungkol sa sarili at kapaligirang pisikal
