SOCIAL CONTENT GUIDELINES
Social content refers to themes or topics for which the DepEd prescribes certain guidelines when these themes or topics are included or referred to in lessons in the learning resources. Among the themes or topics are those on the Filipino Learner and Teacher, The Filipino Nation and Philippine Society, Citizenship and Social Responsibility, Individuals and Social Identities, Social Institutions, Gender, Media, Technology, and Communication, Health and Safety, and Environment.
Learning resources that follow these guidelines avoid stereotypes and help develop in learners such deskable values as nationalism, justice, moral uprightness, indusivity, understanding, and compassion among others. Through the concrete expression of such values, the DepEd’s core values are realized.
The following guidelines on social content are recommended for integration in learning resources: The Filipino Learner
1. Portray the learners as multi-faceted with physical, intellectual and psycho-emotional, spiritual and socio-
cultural traits.
2. Highlight the dignity of learners and communicate respect for their rights.
3. Uphold the learners’ unique values and principles that shape their way of thinking and dealing with others.
4. Mirror the diversity of learners’ lived experiences, settings, and contexts.
5. Depict learners as capable of constructing and reflecting on their own experiences and the experiences of others.
6. Portray learners as active seekers of knowledge who rely on multiple sources of information and are able
to think critically about that knowledge.
7. Depict learners as having 21st century skills (information, media, and technology skills, learning and
innovation skills, communication skills, life and career skills) who actively develop, take advantage of, and put such skills to good use.
8. Nurture learners’ curiosity and creativity so they will develop into life-long learners.
The Filipino Nation and Philippine Society
1. Depict naitonal symbols and institutions in contexts that promote respect for their meanings.
2. Foster a sense of justice and obedience to and respect for the Consitution and the law.
3. Maximize the use of illustrations and photographs depicting the diversity of Philippine setting and
environments (e.g., local communities, local objects, flora and fauna endemic to the Philippines).
4. Highlight the diversity of Philippine cultural communities, including indigenous cultural communities
(ICCs).
5. Depict expression of Philippine cultures— technologies, inventions, games, dances, songs, literature, dress, food, festivals, celebrations, practices, customs, and others — guided by protocols for culture sensitivity such as DO 51, s. 2014 (Guidelines on the Conduct of Activities and Use of Materials Involving Aspects of Indigenous Peoples Culture).
6. Show continuity settings that feature a mix of rural, sub-urban, and urban situations without stereotyping any of them.
7. Refrain from giving importance and attention to popularized fads, transitory personages and events, and untested moieties or views.
8. Include foreign products, practices, and values only as needed and appropriate to the competencies being
covered. When included, these foreign products mus t be featured in ways that do not prejudice Philippine products, practices, and values.
Citizenship and Social Responsibility
