Study Notes

David Warren Saxe framed the theory for social studies foundation.
He emphasized that the foundation can be rooted in myths, which can be used to explain the origin of social studies.
America 2000, outlined by the US Department of Education in 1991, excluded social studies as a core curricular area.
Integrated curriculum involves organizing education across subject matter.
Meaningful association in education focuses on broad areas of study (Shoemaker 1989).
Integrated experiences allow learners to actively participate by connecting experiences.
Social integration encourages learners to examine content from perspectives of power and action.
Integration of knowledge involves learners solving problems using diverse approaches.
Integration as a curricular model reflects real-world situations where the process takes precedence over the product, with emphasis on project-based learning.
Interdisciplinary curriculum uses multiple disciplines to explore a theme, problem, or issue.
LINTER (2013) suggests that teacher-determined planning is more effective than integration.
MORNS (2003) notes that planning is less time-consuming compared to integration.

Unit Planning (DepEd 2016)

Instructional planning is a systematic process involving the development and implementation of teaching plans.
Two vital characteristics expected of teachers:
- Informed decision makers: Thoroughly familiar with the curriculum.
- Reflective practitioners: Ensure curriculum standards and competencies are met and track student progress.

Types of Instructional Planning

Long-range planning: Planning for the entire year, involving curriculum mapping.
Unit planning: Division of the year-long plan, usually per quarter.
Lesson planning: Planning for specific topics.
- Two types of lesson plans:
  - Daily Lesson Plan (DLP): Detailed description with objectives, content, resources, procedures, remarks, and reflection.
  - Daily Lesson Log (DLL): Used to log daily lessons, covering a day or a week, with objectives, content, resources, procedures, remarks, and reflection.
