ULAP - Ulat sa Araling Panlipunan

INTRODUCTION / RATIONALE / OBJECTIVES

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ENHANCE BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM OR K-12 AIMS TO FETCH STUDENTS NOWADAYS TO GLOBAL COMPETITION. STUDENTS NEED TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE AND COMPETITIVE IN TERMS OF ACADEMIC, LIFE, VALUES, AND LIFE LONG LEARNING. THUS THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PROMOTES DIFFERENT PROGRAMS IN SUPPORT OF THIS IMPLEMENTATION. BUT THE BASIC PROBLEMS IN THE PUBLIC EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS ARE TOTALLY ALARMING SINCE THE VICTIMS ARE THE LEARNERS AND THREATS ARE IN THE QUALITY LEARNING.

MANY EDUCATORS ARE WORRYING TO THE INCREASING NUMBERS OF NON READERS FROM ELEMENTARY TO SECONDARY BASIC EDUCATION. MANY STUDENTS CANNOT READ AND WRITE INDEPENDENTLY DUE TO DETRACTORS SUCH AS CELLPHONE, COMPUTERS/INTERNET, TELEVISION, FRATS, COLLEAGUES, FRIENDS, AND EVEN THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS OR FAMILY PROBLEMS.

LIKEWISE, BASIC PROBLEMS IN SCHOOLS SUCH AS ROOMS / FACILITIES, TEACHERS, LEARNING MATERIALS AND POLICIES ARE STILL THE MAJOR PROBLEMS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION. ERRONEOUS AND LACK OF BOOKS ARE STILL A BIG BURDEN TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ESPECIALLY IN ARALING PANLIPUNAN - A SUBJECT THAT CATERS ALL SUBJECTS, KNOWLEDGE INVESTMENT, BANK OF STORIES, AND MANY OTHERS. THE INTRODUCTION OF INTERACTIVE READING MATERIAL IS A BIG HELP TO TEACHERS AND STUDENT - THE UL-AP.

THE UL-AP OR ULAT SA ARALING PANLIPUNAN IS THE FIRST EVER INTERACTIVE NEWS MAGAZINE FOR ARALING PANLIPUNAN STUDENTS OF MANUEL LUIS QUEZON HIGH SCHOOL. IT COMPOSED OF CONTEMPORARY ISSUES LOCAL AND ABROAD, INTELLECTUAL OPINIONS, NEWS AND CURRENT EVENTS, LESSON OR LECTURE ACCORDING TO GRADE LEVEL, COMICS FOR ENTERTAINMENT, AND ACTIVITIES ACCORDING TO GRADE LEVEL.

BOTH AP TEACHERS AND STUDENTS OF MLQHS WILL COOPERATE AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER TO MAKE THIS INTERACTIVE NEWS MAGAZINE DONE AND FUNCTIONAL TO STUDENTS.

THE PRIMARY PURPOSES OF THE UL-AP ARE THE FOLLOWING:

B. IT CAN BE USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE FOR ACTIVITIES THAT THEIR MANUAL CANNOT FIT IN

C. INTERACTIVE MAGAZINE CONTENTS OPINIONS, CONTEMPORARY ISSUES, NEWS AND CURRENT EVENTS, LESSON OR LECTURE, ENTERTAINMENT, AND ACTIVITIES THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO THEIR GRADE LEVEL AND CAN GIVE STUDENTS OPTIONS TO WIDEN THEIR KNOWLEDGE NOT ONLY IN THIS SOCIETY BUT ALSO TO THE WIDE HORIZON OF THE WORLD.

D. IT CORRESPONDS TO THE BASIC ISSUES AND CONCERN IN THEIR MANUAL IN TERMS OF CONTENTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT SOMETIMES ARE NOT FIT TO STUDENTS CAPABILITIES.

E. IT WORKS AS THEIR GUIDE TO THE CURRENT EVENTS THAT THEIR MANUAL CANNOT PROVIDE ON TIME OF WHICH THE SOCIAL STUDIES MEANT SO.

F. IT WILL WORK AS STAMINA FOR ARALING PANLIPUNAN STUDENTS’ INTEREST IN THEIR SUBJECT.
