INSTRUCTIONAL
STRATEGIES THAT CAN
BE USED IN ADDRESSING
CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN
THE CLASSROOM
Content Integration – Cultural
practices, cultural values, history,
and respect for cultural diversity
can be integrated in the various
contents of the subjects taught in
basic education.
Cultural Immersion – Students
can be immersed in different
cultures. This will allow students
to observe the life of other people
and to have a firsthand experience
of their culture and values.
Celebrating Cultural Diversity –
Similar to what is done in the UN
Month Celebration and in Linggo ng
Wika, students can experience and
enjoy different cultural dance, folk
literature, music, visual arts, and
costumes.
Culture Responsive Pedagogy –
Teachers use pedagogical
methods, approaches, and
techniques that respect the
cultural values, mindset, and
practices of learners.
Teaching Local Culture –
Teachers will introduce local
culture to students through
lectures, for a, and symposia.
Using the Local Language as Medium of
Instruction – Teachers need to support the
implementation of the Mother Tongue-
Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE)
program of the Department of Education.
They should help in the development of
instructional materials for teaching local
language and culture to the students.
The Philippines is also home to
various indigenous groups. The
Philippine 1987 Constitution
encouraged the sate to provide
an education that is relevant to
their culture and indigenous
practices of these indigenous
people.
Pawilen (2013) identified several approaches that
can be used to integrate indigenous knowledge in
the curriculum.
1. Real-life Story Model
2. Problem-based Approach
3. Inviting Local-Folks and Community Leaders as
a Resource Person in School
4. Developing Instructional Material for Teaching
Indigenous Knowledge
Real-life Story Model – Drake (1998)
originally proposed the idea to use
stories called “story model”, which
develops a personal, cultural, and
global story as the context for any topic
to be learned.
Problem-based Approach – Learners
are exposed to different lessons in
problem-solving. By doing problem-
solving activities, learners are exposed
to practical situations or issues that are
important to them and to their
community.
Inviting Local-Folks and
Community Leaders as a Resource
Person in School – This allow
community leaders and elders to share
their knowledge and wisdom to the
students.
Developing Instructional Material for
Teaching Indigenous Knowledge –
Teachers can be developed modules,
worksheets, and learning kits that will
help introduce local history, community
values, and indigenous knowledge of the
community to the learners.
