Mathematics |
Mathematics Learners demonstrate knowledge and understanding of algebra, measurement, geometry, data, and probability with more complex and abstract forms, with greater emphasis on cognitive development toward self-directed learning. This learning area focuses on sets and real numbers, functions, equations, inequalities, sequences, the axiomatic structure of geometry, triangle congruence and similarity, basic trigonometry, basic statistical measures, and probability. Learners
apply mathematical concepts, operations, procedures, facts, relationships,
and tools to describe, explain, investigate, model, and predict phenomena;
reason mathematically, construct plausible arguments, evaluate the reasoning
of others, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve arguments; access,
use, interpret, and communicate mathematical information and ideas to engage
in and manage the mathematical demands in various 21st century contexts;
utilize mathematical thinking in decision-making and acquire problem-solving
and critical thinking skills through real, situated, or purely mathematical
problems; and strengthen appreciation, curiosity, interest, creativity, and
other desirable values, attitudes, and dispositions in mathematics. |
|
Science |
Learners
demonstrate scientific, environmental, technological, and engineering
literacies that would lead to rational choices on issues confronting them;
recognize that the central feature of an investigation is that if one
variable is changed, the effect of the change on another variable can be
measured; evaluate scientific evidence in drawing interpretations and
conclusions; communicate their findings to other people; demonstrate
understanding of science concepts; exhibit critical and analytical thinking
in making decisions in scientific contexts; apply science inquiry skills in
addressing real-world problems through scientific investigations; and
demonstrate desirable attitudes and skills in conducting investigations. |

Technology
and Livelihood Education (TLE) |
Learners
are expected to demonstrate the acquired common industry skills that are
introduced in the different specializations focusing on the use of tools and
equipment, mensuration, interpretation of drawings and plans, observance of
occupational safety and health, career, and business opportunities. For
Grades 9 and 10, learners are expected to demonstrate technical skills in the
different sectors in TLE. |
|
Music
and Arts |
Learners
innovate creative works about global communities within the context of
Filipino cultural identity and diversity using conventional, contemporary,
and emerging concepts, processes, techniques, and/or practices in music and
arts. |
|
Physical
Education and Health |
Learners
integrate health and physical literacies in promoting personal, family,
community, and societal wellness for active and healthy living. |
Filipino Language and Literature
At this stage, students showcase communicative skills, creativity, and critical understanding through Filipino language. They engage with written texts, masterpieces, and visual media, promoting multilingual and multicultural literacy. The focus is on crafting and presenting multimodal texts, honing analytical skills acquired in earlier stages, and developing linguistic proficiency crucial for both national and global citizenship.
Mathematics
In mathematics, learners delve into advanced algebra, geometry, statistics, and probability. The emphasis shifts towards self-directed learning, where students not only apply mathematical concepts but also reason logically, construct arguments, and solve real-world problems. This stage aims to foster mathematical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and a deeper appreciation for the discipline's role in various contexts of the 21st century.
Science
Scientific literacy takes center stage as learners explore scientific, environmental, technological, and engineering principles. They engage in investigative practices, analyze data, and communicate findings effectively. This stage cultivates critical thinking and decision-making skills essential for addressing contemporary scientific challenges and making informed choices.
Araling Panlipunan
Araling Panlipunan covers diverse topics from geography and history to economics and sustainable development. It aims to equip students with a global perspective, understanding national, regional, and international issues. This phase fosters responsible citizenship through the exploration of societal rights, responsibilities, and leadership, preparing learners to engage thoughtfully in global citizenship.
Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE)
TLE introduces learners to practical skills and knowledge in various specializations, including technical skills relevant to different sectors. It emphasizes the use of tools, occupational safety, and business opportunities, preparing students for future careers and entrepreneurial endeavors.
Music and Arts
In the realm of music and arts, learners explore creativity within the context of Filipino cultural identity. They experiment with traditional and contemporary techniques, fostering appreciation for cultural diversity and self-expression.
Physical Education and Health
Finally, physical education and health integrate physical literacy with personal, family, and community wellness. This stage emphasizes active living, promoting physical fitness and overall well-being among students.
Embracing Holistic Learning
Key Stage 3 in Philippine education system not only nurtures academic excellence but also cultivates critical thinking, creativity, and civic responsibility. It prepares students to navigate the complexities of today's world with confidence, equipping them with skills that transcend the boundaries of the classroom and into a future where they can contribute meaningfully to society. As educators and stakeholders, our commitment lies in fostering an environment where every learner can thrive and reach their fullest potential.
