APPROACHES OF
TEACHING SOCIAL STUDIES
IN THE ELEMENTARY
WHAT IS AN APPROACH?
An approach gives rise to the
methods, the way of teaching
something, which use classroom
activities or techniques to help
learners to learn.
APPROACHES OF TEACHING SOCIAL
STUDIES IN THE ELEMENTARY
1. Constructivist Approach
2. Collaborative Learning
3. Experiential and Contextualized Learning
4. Thematic Method
5. Conceptual Approach
6. Integrative Approach
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the topic, the students will be able
to...
- Known the importance of the approaches of
teaching.
- Identify the different approaches of teaching social
studies in the elementary.
- Use the technique from the approaches of teaching
social studies.
APPROACHES IN
TEACHING SOCIAL
STUDIES
CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH

SHERYL E. GALABO
 1. CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH
This approach is a broad conceptual framework
and portions of which build on the idea of Jean
Piaget. This is the notions of cognitive structures
or patterns of actions that underlie specific acts of
intelligence.
Constructivism is based on the assumptions that
the students come to class with entry knowledge
and skills. Whereas students build connections
between their prior knowledge and new learning
activity.
HOW TO TEACH SOCIAL
STUDIES USING
CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH?
 FIELD TRIPS
Taking your history students for a field trip exposes
them to the real-world context of what they have been
learning in class. The field trips should also be
accompanied by class discussions as the learners get to
share their experiences on their findings during the
field trips.
 CLASS DISCUSSION
Encouraging discussions in your classes should be a
great way to improve learning and help students
memorize all aspects taught in class. Let every
student participate in the topic being discussed.
 FILMS
Films provide a visual context of a given topic. The
illustrations are significant to help students remember every
detail of the concept being elaborated. It brings a sense of
experience among the students. Learners tend to remember
the contents taught in a visual approach quickly. Therefore
getting some relevant video clips for the given subject could
help improve the understanding of the given topic.
COLLABORATIVE
LEARNING

Karl Ira Serafica

2. COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
An umbrella term for a variety of
educational approaches involving joint
intellectual effort by students , or
student and teacher together.
Collaboration
learning activities
vary widely , but
most center on
student's exploration
or application of the
teacher's
presentation or
explication of it.
The Benefits of Collaborative Learning includes:
- Develop oral communication skills
- Develop social interaction skills
- Build self esteem in students , responsibility ,
leadership skills.
- Exposure to and an increase in understanding
of diverse perspectives.
- Enhance students satisfactional with the
learning experiences

Mary Mae Ruiz
4. THEMATIC METHOD
Thematic analysis is a method of analysis using
which you can go through your qualitative dataset
in an organised manner and analyse it effectively
to uncover hidden trends and other inferences
based on the criteria or a theme, defined by the
researcher.
6 STEPS TO PERFORM THEMATIC
ANALYSIS
1. Familiarisation with the data
2. Coding the data
3. Generating initial themes
4. Reviewing the themes
5. Naming and defining the themes
6. Writing up the report
THE CONCEPTUAL APPROACH

Riza Dalen
 5. CONCEPTUAL APPROACH
• It involves the process of concepts formation.
• Concepts are “mental constructions”
representing categories of information that
contain defining attributes.
 THE KEY: CONCEPTUAL APPROACH
• Using schema to organize new knowledge.
• Developing units around concepts to help
students learn.
• Relating to and providing for schema based
on students prior knowledge or
experiences.
A conceptual model / principle:
Principle 1: Engaging prior
understanding.
• Addresses a students prior knowledge.
It's not a pre-test but the experiential
knowledge of a student.
Principle 2: The essential role of factual knowledge
and conceptual frameworks in understanding.
Heart of conceptual teaching. Factual knowledge is
important, must be placed in a context if it is to be
retained. Memory of factual knowledge in enhanced by
conceptual knowledge, and conceptual knowledge is
clarified as it is used to help organize the important
details.
Principle 3: The importance of self monitoring.
• Suggest teachers must help and encourage
students to evaluate their learning. Students
need to learn how to ask question that enhance
their learning and relate it to what they already
know.
Integrative Approach

Ana Lacdang
 6. Integrative Approach
This approach in teaching supports that when
themes or projects are combined, students are
able to make relevant connections between the
different disciplines or subjects.
Integrative
make Approach
-This is anchored on the assumptions that teaching
and learning are more meaningful and further enriched
if lesson are:
- connected to other disciplines (interdisciplinary)
and
-connected to real life experiences (transdisciplinary)
For meaningful, active, value-based, integrative,
challenging Araling Panlipunan teaching, the
following specific methods and techniques can be
utilized:
Tri-questions
Moral Dilemma Method
Lesson Indigenization
Conducting Survey and Interview
Service Learning
Tri questions
- This will enable to probe students to probe
into events. 3 questions are asked:
1. What happened?
2. Why did it happen?
3. What are the possible consequences?
Moral Dilemma Method
-a moral dilemma is a situation in which a person is
torn between right or wrong.

( let the students do each of the actions to realize

consequences so that they can come up with an
agreeable solutions.)
Lesson Indigenization
-concepts are explained using thought patterns,
materials of indigenous communities.
Conducting surveys and interviews
-this is to gather data and recording, organizing,
analyzing and interpreting them to answer given
problems.
Service Learning
-this means that students learned their lessons and at
the same time served the community.
3 Types of Service Learning
1. Direct Service
2. In-direct Service
3. Advocacy
