Quarter 3 – Week – 2
Competency: Judge the Validity of the Evidence Listened To

Objectives:

1. Determine the evidence present in the material listened to;

2. Recognize the importance of judging the validity of evidence listened
to; and
3. Formulate stand about a certain topic.

Acquiring knowledge through reading and listening is what

makes a person full of wisdom. Your cognitive skills will develop
remarkably if you are learning what you are reading or listening.
However, you should be careful in validating if the materials
you read or heard are factual and reliable especially if it is an
argument.
An argument is an act where you express your point of view
and support it with evidence. It can be done in oral or written form.
In this lesson, you will learn to judge the validity of evidence
you listened to.

"Is This the World We Created?"

By: Queen

Just look at all those hungry mouths
we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we
breed
So many lonely faces scattered all
around
Searching for what they need.
You know that everyday a helpless
child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a
happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on
his throne
Waiting for life to go by.

Is this the world we created? Is this the world we created?

What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end.
Is this what we're all living for today?
The world that we created.
We made it on our own.
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If there's a God in the sky looking
down,
What can he think of what we've done
To the world that He created?

_____1. Poverty and war are the problems addressed in the poem.

_____2. The third stanza compares the lives of a poor child to a wealthy man.

_____3. Wealthy people can solve the problems if they will help the people in
need.

_____4. The last three lines of the song tell us to continue what we are doing
in the society.

_____5. The tone of the song is sad yet contented.

Online Education During A Pandemic

By: Dianna Chan Vasquez

The Covid-19 pandemic has made everyone stay at home but it has not
stopped the world. People still need to work. Students need to learn and
teachers need to teach. Personally, I’m not a fan of online classes. I think it’s
added stress for students who don’t have computers and/or Internet access
at home. But life goes on and there are some things, such as education, that
can’t be delayed.

Ann Abacan of Sophia School in Meycauayan, Bulacan, said the Internet has
allowed them to continue their operations. “Our teachers meet online once or
twice a week using Zoom or Google Hangouts. Members of the school
administration meet around three to five times [a week] to follow-up on tasks,”
said the principal and owner.

Sophia School launched a Facebook campaign, called “Share Ko Lang,” a

series of creative videos featuring Sophian students, parents, and teachers
sharing their experiences during this time.

Staying connected with her students is also a priority for Marj Palmares-Cruz,
a business professor at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines-San
Pedro Campus and PUP Open University.

Palmares-Cruz’s priority was to finish the remaining sessions for the semester
after classes were suspended due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

“The challenge lies in the students’ access to the Internet, because not all of
them own computers.”

Palmares-Cruz thought of utilizing Facebook Messenger, an app which

everyone can access freely. She designed her instructional materials in such
a way that there would be lesser online meetings, which easily eat up data.

“Outputs are submitted through Facebook Messenger as a group, in
consideration of the students who don’t have gadgets and have limited
Internet access.”

In addition, Cruz uses Google Classroom for individual submission and

tracking of student’s work for courses that require monitoring of each
student’s progress. “I also make sure to post contents that are relevant to my
students on my personal Facebook account. That way, their learning never
stops.”

Teacher Oliver Lara thought of ways to still do therapy sessions with his
students from Kids Home Intervention. As a center that uses a skills-based
system to address children’s developmental delays, he knew his learners need
to continually receive treatment for their courses to be fully effective.

“Our team decided to have online classes in order to ensure that our students
continue to receive the intervention they need, and to facilitate skills across
different platforms and settings,” said Lara, adding that they use Microsoft
Teams to run their daily Virtual Classroom Management activities.

“Technology is very essential especially during this ECQ because it enables

us to be of service to our clients and students regardless of the current
situations.”

Even prior to the Covid-19 health crisis, there have been several teaching
methodologies that have proven to be disaster-resilient.

Designed to promote independent learning in students, the Dynamic Learning

Program (DLP) adopted by several schools nationwide is a non-traditional and
innovative teaching framework that can be implemented even during times of
crisis. The pedagogy uses parallel learning groups, activity-based multi-
domain learning, in-school comprehensive student portfolio, and strategic
study and rest periods to improve student academic performance as well as
support teachers’ needs.

During the Zamboanga Siege back in 2013, students of Claret School of

Zamboanga City (CSZC) continued to learn in the safety of their homes

through the DLP. The same is true today as the entire nation wages a battle
against a faceless enemy. “We have already proven that DLP works as a
pedagogy that allows students to learn especially in times of force majeure,”
says CSZC high-school principal Daisy Bejerano-Natividad.

According to Marie Joneth Rivera, a Math Subject Coordinator in CSZC, the

DLP facilitates the learning process even if the students can’t come to school.

“Since the teachers have already planned and designed the learning activity
sheets for the whole school year, the students can easily access these
activities and work independently in their respective homes,” said Rivera.

Aika Angel Ubando, a graduate of CSZC, is among those who benefited from
DLP at the time of the Zamboanga Siege, when they were unable to go to
school for close to two months.

“We were given worksheets online that had to be submitted once a week, and
the setup was convenient for both teachers and learners. If it weren’t for the
program, we all would have struggled to cope with the crisis,” she said.

As part of its initiatives under its education advocacy, wireless services

provider Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) has conducted DLP trainings
for teachers and schools nationwide. DLP workshops were also held in
various provinces for facilitators of the Alternative Learning System (ALS), the
flagship program of the Department of Education that offers nonformal
education to out-of-school youth and adults who have failed to complete basic
education. The Xavier University ALS Night School Program is also making
sure its learners acquire the necessary knowledge needed for their
Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) test. The competency exam is required
for ALS students who wish to enroll in secondary and post-secondary schools.

Online education is a new frontier for us in the Philippines. We don’t know

how much longer we’ll be in quarantine because of Covid-19. I prefer to keep
an open mind about it despite my misgivings because it seems that we have
very little choice right now.

Discussion

How to Judge the Validity of the evidence you listened to in an

argument?

_________________________________________________________________________
6
Q3 Week No.2 Competency Code: __________
Competency: Judge the Validity of Evidence Listened To
 An argument is an act where you express your point of view and support
it with evidence. It can be done in oral or written form.
To identify the validity of evidence, you need to consider the argument’s
claim and the reasons to justify the claim.
Evidence in an argument can be verifiable facts, statistics, testimonies,
and stories from people who witness or experience the situation.

In analyzing your evidence, it can be processed into three steps:

1. Identify the claim,

2. Identify the factual details that support the claim, and
3. explain how the evidence is supposed to relate to the claim.

You should also consider these three questions to validate the quality of your
evidence.

1. Is the evidence sufficient?

2. Is the evidence relevant?
3. Is the evidence representative?

Representative evidence is evidence that accurately portrays the object of

study, not distorted and not just a select piece.
