About the Book

Instills a glocal mentality, promotes Philippine nationalism, and fosters an appreciation of Asia and the world!

The Kamalayan, Kabihasnan, at Kaunlaran series is a solid and up-to-date secondary social studies program that adheres to the enhanced refined learning competencies prescribed by the Department of Education.

The series empowers students through a more involved learning experience in the study of Philippine, Asian and World History, and Economics instead of the mere learning of dry facts and figures.

The books in the series invite the students to analyze and synthesize information, form their values, share their insights, and take action.

This series highlights the ACES (Activity-Analysis-Abstraction-Application paradigm, thus simulating higher-order thinking skills among students.

The series assumes the perspective/stand that the competencies demand—that is, using a nationalist’s perspective for the Philippine history, an Asian perspective for the Asian history and a global (not Eurocentric) perspective for world history.
