Home Economics

HELE or Home Economics & LIvelihood Education is one of the subjects being taught here in the Philippines. It's all about Family, Culinary Arts, Industrial Arts , Agriculture, and, Entrepreneurship, and Personality Development. Basic lessons about the topics mentioned are discussed to grades four to six for elementary. Here, the learners learned skills that can be used at home and in everyday life situation.
The skills learned are useful skills. Starting from the development of a certain individual and how he/she can do his/her responsibility to his/her family, to community, and later to his/her country. In every grade level, specifically in our school, I have prepared 15 modules for grade four learners, and 15 modules for grade six learners. All the topics mentioned above are discussed per module with specific number of skills to be learned by the learners. Here are the topics for Grade 4:
Mod.1- Good Grooming

Mod. 3 – Care of Clothes

Mod. 4 – House & Its Parts

At the end of the school year, I assumed that learners learned skills from the above topis of the modules. We used modules because here in our school learners are trained to become independent
and at the same time mastery learning is one of our goals.
