| Abstract | This study explores pedagogical approaches (e.g., constructivist, inquiry-based, reflective, collaborative, and integrative learning) in Philippine Social Studies (Araling Panlipunan) education, aligning with legal mandates and the curriculum. The review highlights how Philippine policies and curricula mandate constructivist, inquiry-based, collaborative, and interdisciplinary pedagogies in Social Studies. The study adopted a policy and curricular review design, examining nine (9) purposively selected relevant documents (i.e., relevant laws, orders, curricula, and syllabi) in the basic and higher education sectors to determine the prescribed pedagogical approaches to be implemented for Social Studies in basic education. These approaches, supported by teacher education programs, aim to foster critical thinking, active learning, and civic readiness, aligning with SDG 4 for quality education. The results indicate that the pedagogical approaches in Social Studies within the Philippine basic education system are designed to nurture critical, socially conscious, and well-rounded individuals. By combining active learning, collaboration, reflection, and real-world application, these methods empower Filipino learners to understand and engage with the complexities of society and history. This holistic approach ensures a meaningful educational experience, preparing students for lifelong engagement and responsible citizenship. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) in the Philippines may align further Social Studies teacher training with current standards and evolving needs, while future research should explore how Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) integrate pedagogical approaches in both campus and field-based practices to enhance curricula and teaching quality. |
