A Course Module for Content and Pedagogy for the Mother Tongue
A Course Module for Content and Pedagogy for the Mother Tongue is a self-instructional learning material that will help Bachelor of Elementary Education students comprehensively understand the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education program being implemented in the Philippines. It is designed to equip future elementary school teachers with the pedagogical knowledge and skills necessary to teach the mother tongue as a learning area. This module is highly activity-based, with students expected to develop instructional plans for the mother tongue that include sound, interesting, and meaningful learning experiences, age-appropriate and culturally relevant materials, and robust assessments. At the end of the module, students are expected to apply their acquired knowledge and skills in teaching the mother tongue through demonstration teaching.
