Why do we need to contextualized, localized and indigenized lesson?

As a teacher it is my goal as to provide appropriate and effective

instruction to students. Thus during my lesson, providing necessary

instructional materials to the students is very effective because it makes

learning easier to understand. For example in the story of The Wedding Dance

wherein the setting is in Baguio, I could also indigenized this by asking also my

students who belong to the Kaulo group to share their wedding custom. By this

way my IPs students will have a sense of belongingness in the class. The

localization of the curriculum can allow learning to become more meaningful

and relevant. Localization will involve the use of local materials both as the

subject and object of instruction. It will make the local culture an integral part

of the curriculum. In the case of localized materials. In my reading class, I will

give stories that is happening in the locality or the local stories. By doing this, I

discovered that students will be more interested with it, because they are

familiar of the people, the places and the events. Their interest in the class is

heightened. Their culture will also be studied and understood. In other words,

they will develop a sense of ownership because they can relate to the story.

Developing instructional materials is important in the teaching-learning of the

students and is also related to the higher academic performance of students.

Using contextual materials is another factor that will improve the quality of

teaching and learning process. Contextual materials help students connect the

content they are learning to the life contexts in which the content can be used.
Students then find meaning in the learning process. As they strive to attain

learning objectives, they draw upon their previous experiences and build upon

existing knowledge.

To sum it up, we need to contextualize, localized and indigenized

learning resources to ensure that students will attain maximum learning that

is needed as they go to college or to face the real life situation
