III. Teaching Strategies

Components Duration Activities and Procedures
Panimula 10 mins Sa nakaraang linggo ay napag-aralan mo na ang
tungkol sa iba’t ibang uri ng problemang kinakaharap ng ating
bansa. May mga mungkahing pamamaraan kung paano ka
makakatulong sa mga kinakaharap na problema ng ating
pamilya, pamayanan, at ng buong bansa. Bilang isang mag-
aaral, may kakayahan ka na makiisa sa layunin upang
masolusyunan, mabawasan o di kaya maalis ng tuluyan ang
mga kinakaharap na problema upang maibalik na sa dating
maayos, tahimik at maunlad na pamayanan.
Sa araling ito ay iyong matututunan ang kadahilanan
ng pagiging masayang pamilya sa isang komunidad. Tatalakayin
din dito ang magiging bunga ng pagtutulungan ng bawat isa sa
pamayanan.
Kaya bilang mag-aaral ikaw ay inaasahang:
1. Naiisa -isa ang mga pangunahing pangangailangan ng
pamilya at komunidad.
2. Nasusuri ang kahalagahan ng pagtutulungan sa
komunidad.
3. Napahahalagahan ang pagbubuklod ng pamilya at ng
komunidad.
4. Pansinin ang bawat larawan sa ibaba. Ano ang masasabi

Page 11 of 14
 CATCH-UP FRIDAYS TEACHING GUIDE

mo dito? Ano ang kaugnayan ng mga larawan sa bawat

isa? Bakit kaya mahalaga ito?

Ang pamilya ang pinakamaliit na bahagi ng

komunidad. Ang malusog, payapa at masayang pamilya ay
dulot ng pagkakaroon ng sapat na pangangailangan. Ang
bawat kasapi ng komunidad ay may pamilyang kinabibilangan.
Ang mga pangunahing pangangailangan ng pamilya ay ang
mga sumusunod: pagkain, damit at tirahan. Hindi lang ang
pangunahing pangangailangan ang dapat tugunan sa isang
pamilya, kasama dito ang kagandang asal. May iba’t ibang
relihiyon sa komunidad na nagsisilbing gabay ng mga tao sa
matiwasay at maunlad na pamumuhay. Ang edukasyon ang
nalikha ng iba’t ibang propesyon na makatutulong sa pag-
unlad ng komunidad. Ang pagkakaroon ng marangal na
hanapbuhay ng magulang ay kailangan para may pangtustos
sa mga pangangailangan ng pamilya.
Mainam manirahan sa payapa at tahimik na
kapaligiran dahil nagdudulot ito ng maayos na samahan at
pagkakaisa. Kung nagkakaisa ang mga tao sa mga programa
ng komunidad, magiging matagumpay ito at lahat ay pantay-
pantay na makikinabang dito. Kailangan din ng paglilibangan
upang mapalawak ang kaalamang sosyal, emosyonal, ispiritwal
at pisikal ng bawat kasapi ng komunidad. Magkatulong ang
pamahalaang lokal sa pangunguna ng tapat at responsableng
pinuno at iba pang kabahagi ng komunidad sa pagtugon ng
pangangailangang ito. Ang pinuno ang siyang nangunguna sa
Pagpapaunlad 20 mins pagpapatupad ng mga programa, gawain at batas.
Pinangangasiwaan din niya nang maayos ang mga pasilidad,
kalsada at serbisyong tungkol sa kalusugan, kapayapaan,
hanapbuhay at iba pang kailangan ng mga mamamayang
kanyang nasasakupan.
Kung walang pagmamahal at pagkakaisa ang bawat pamilya
ay hindi magkakaroon ng maunlad at payapang pamayanan
dahil kung ano ang nakikita sa loob ng pamilya ay ganoon din
tiyak ang mangyayari sa lipunan.
Ang pagtutulungan ang nagbubuklod sa mga tao sa
komunidad. Nagiging daan ito tungo sa pagkakaisa. Ito rin ay
lubhang mahalaga sa panahon ng kagipitan at kalamidad.
Dapat nauunawaan ng bawat kasapi ng komunidad ang
kahalagahan nito.
Ito ang ilan sa mga halimbawa ng mahalagang gawain
na nagpapakita ng pagtutulungan sa isang
komunidad:
1. Clean up drives
2. Pagkakaroon ng waste segregation programs
3. Pagbabalot ng mga relief goods
4. Feeding programs
5. Pagkakaroon ng mga libreng seminars para sa mamamayan
6. Pagtuturo sa mga kabataan hindi nag-aaral
7. Pagbibigay ng p`agkakakitaan sa mga mamamayan
