refers to the educational process of rela

ting the curriculum to a particular setting, situat
ion or area of application to make the compet
encies relevant, meaningful and useful to the l
earners

Localization

As one of the degrees of contextualization, l

ocalization is defined as:

the process of relating learning content specifi

ed in the curriculum to local information and m
aterials from the learner’s community

Localization and Contextualization
The curriculum is alive, it changes depending who
is implementing it, where and when it is implement
ed.
In order for you to localize and contextualize the cu
rriculum, “you have to think of where you are so th
at you can make the curriculum relevant to you.” –
Usec. Dina Ocampo
when we localize [the curriculum], we agree to it

This means that different areas in the country will

also use different materials, they will use different
instruments so that they can deliver the standards
of the curriculum.

HOW?
The REACT Strategy
Curricula and instruction based on contextual learning strat
egies should be structured to encourage five essential form
s of learning:

EXPERIENCING
 Learning in the context of life ex
perience, or relating, is the kind of conte
xtual learning that typically occurs with v
ery young children. With adult learners,
however, providing this meaningful conte
xt for learning becomes more difficult. Th
e curriculum that attempts to place learni
ng in the context of life experiences must
, first, call the student’s attention to every
day sights, events, and conditions. It mu
st then relate those everyday situations t
o new information to be absorbed or a pr
oblem to be solved.
.
Halimbawa
 Experiencing—learning in the c
ontext of exploration, discovery, and inv
ention—is the heart of contextual learni
ng. However motivated or tuned-in stud
ents may become as a result of other in
structional strategies such as video, nar
rative, or text-based activities, these re
main relatively passive forms of learning
. And learning appears to "take" far mor
e quickly when students are able to man
ipulate equipment and materials and to
do other forms of active research.
HALIMBAWA:
 Applying concepts and inf
ormation in a useful context often
projects students into an imagined
future (a possible career) or into a
n unfamiliar location (a workplace)
. This happens most commonly thr
ough text, video, labs, and activitie
s, and these contextual learning e
xperiences are often followed up
with firsthand experiences such as
plant tours, mentoring arrangeme
nts, and internships.
HALIMBAWA:
 Cooperating—learning in the conte
xt of sharing, responding, and communicati
ng with other learners—is a primary instructi
onal strategy in contextual teaching. The ex
perience of cooperating not only helps the
majority of students learn the material, it als
o is consistent with the real-world focus of c
ontextual teaching.
HALIMBAWA:
Learning in the context of existin
g knowledge, or transferring, use
s and builds upon what the stude
nt has already learned. Such an
approach is similar to relating, S
tudents develop confidence in th
eir problem-solving abilities if we
make a point of building new lear
ning experiences on what they al
ready know.
HALIMBAWA:
• Localization and contextua
lization can be done in all
subject areas

• Localization maximizes ma
terials that are locally avail
able
• To contextualize, teachers use authen
tic materials, activities, interests, iss
ues, and needs from learners’ lives

• Should create rooms for students to p

ose problems and issues and develop
strategies together for addressing the

Are You Teaching Cont
extually?
Take this self-test

1. Are new concepts presented in real-life situations and experi

ences that are familiar to the student?

2. Are concepts in examples and student exercises presented

in the context of their use?

3. Are new concepts presented in the context of what the

student already knows?

4. Do examples and student exercises include many real,

believable problem-solving situations that students can
recognize as important to their current and possible
future lives?
5. Do examples and student exercises cultivate an attitude
that says, "I need to learn this"?

6. Do students gather and analyze their own data as they are

guided in discovery of the important concepts?

7. Are opportunities presented for students to gather and

analyze their own data for enrichment and extension?

8. Do lessons and activities encourage the student to apply

concepts and information in useful contexts, projecting the
student into imagined futures (e.g., possible careers) and
unfamiliar locations (e.g., workplaces)?
9. Are students expected to participate regularly in
interactive groups where sharing, communicating,
and responding to the important concepts and
decision-making occur?

10. Do lessons, exercises, and labs improve

students’ written and oral communication skills in
addition to mathematical reasoning and achievement?
