A FOCUS ON THE CONTEXTUALIZED LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS
Dennis F. Gerodias
Abstract:
This study aims to determine the factors that may affect in constructing the contextualized
learning activity sheets based on the learners’ results and the teachers’ self-assessment
using a descriptive correlation research design. The study's findings revealed that the
teachers have varied levels of competence in terms of cultural knowledge; on average,
they were at the Proficient level of competency. In addition, teachers’ self-assessments
indicated that they strongly practiced the criteria in constructing contextualized IPED LAS.
However, still at the Advanced Beginner level based on the learners’ results. It can be
concluded that teachers are competent in handling IPED based on their profile and cultural
knowledge, yet Advance Beginners in assessment skills. Teachers with higher educational
qualifications improved their assessment skills. It is recommended that the regional and
division IPED specialist should conduct quarterly training for teachers on the Indigenous
Knowledge System and Practices (IKSP) and other IPED-related topics. Teachers may
conduct indigenization mapping as part of the pedagogical strategy of handling IPED to
encourage localization and indigenization of content. With the findings and results, the
project ETASIP is made to aid teachers in planning for their assessment strategies.
