What is the Matatag Curriculum for Grade 3?
The Grade 3 Matatag Curriculum employs its Instructional Design Framework, that composed of three essential pillars: Curriculum, Teaching, and Assessment. It is rooted in the principle of optimal learning, helping teachers achieve the target competencies. At the same time, the Matatag Curriculum places learners at the center of designing learning content and strategies.
The success of this curriculum depends on the teacher’s holistic approach and attention to innovation and learner-centeredness. So, the teachers should adapt their Daily Lesson Log (DLL) to include pedagogical methods and strategies that keep learners actively engaged. Therefore, the teaching-learning process should primarily focus on developing critical thinking and essential skills as the foundation of classroom activities.
The Matatag Curriculum includes Grade 3 treats it as a springboard to formal schooling. At this grade level, teachers begin to deliver instruction with subjects taught separately, giving learners their first exposure to this format. It is a crucial stage in the learning journey where pupils must begin to establish their foundational skills.
By the end of Grade 3, learners are expected to have achieved basic literacy and numeracy skills. In addition to their natural learning for engaging creatively in the arts, and developed an appreciation for cultural heritage.
As in the previous grade levels, the learning areas have been reduced to only five. The Grade 3 Matatag Curriculum no longer includes MAPEH and Mother Tongue as separate subjects. You can refer to the table below for a sample classroom program for Grade 3. The table includes additional intervention sessions such as the NRP (National Reading Program) and NMP (National Mathematics Program).
