Adventures in Integrated Science Series (Enhanced Edition) is an enhanced version of Adventures in Integrated Science Series (K to 12) Edition. It adapted features from the previous version that were deemed informative and helpful to students’ learning. The series included additional activities, photos, and illustrations to make the lessons easier to understand. Each quarter starts with a review of the previous lessons and a pretest to assess the students’ preparedness for the new lesson. The chapters include Time to Start, which acts as a springboard for the students to focus their minds on the lesson at hand.

The activities vary in terms of difficulty and deliverables to accommodate the different types of learning strategies. Mental activities such as problem solving, experiments, research presentations, and do-it-yourself projects were also included whenever applicable. To make the topics lighter, poems and storytelling were used to introduce and/or conclude chapters.

Students reading the new series will find themselves conversing with these books because of the style of writing used. Moreover, they can also assess their progress because each chapter ends with a Chapter Challenge.

Most importantly, this series is based on the MATATAG Curriculum Guide provided by the Department of Education. The competencies that are required for each topic are all included in the activities and lessons presented. This series also provides a Learning Guide that will help the teachers in the delivery of each lesson, as well as Answer Keys for all the assessments and activities within the books.

Ang serye ng mga batayang aklat na ito ay idinisenyo upang maging kasangkapan ng mga guro at mag-aaral para sa mas makabuluhan at epektibong pagkatuto ng asignaturang Araling Panlipunan para sa sekundarya.

Mapapansin na ang mga aralin ay nakabalangkas sa expanding horizon model—isang pamamaraang naglalahad ng mga konsepto at isyu mula sa sarili at pamilya, tungo sa pamayanan, bansa, at daigdig.

Ang seryeng ito ay ginawa para tulungan ang mga mag-aaral na mas makilala ang kanilang sarili bilang bahagi ng lipunan. Layunin nitong buksan ang kanilang mga mata sa mga isyung bumabalot sa paligid; hikayatin silang maging tunay na makabayan hindi lang sa salita, kundi maging sa gawa; at gabayan sila upang maging responsable sa kanilang mga desisyon at kilos. Sa pag-unawa sa sariling kasaysayan at kultura, mahuhubog ang kanilang kakayahang tumugon sa mga hamon ng bayan sa paraang makatao at makatarungan.

Sa bawat paksang-aralin, sa bawat gawaing makabuluhan, at sa bawat tanong na magtutulak sa mga mag-aaral upang mas mag-isip nang malalim, inihahanda sila ng seryeng ito na maging aktibong kabataang Pilipinong mag-aaral na makapag-aambag sa pagbuo ng isang lipunang payapa, patas, demokratiko, at mulat.

Tungkol sa Serye

Ang Tanglaw sa Kagandahang Asal at Wastong Pag-uugali ay serye ng mga aklat sa Edukasyon sa Pagpapahalaga na idinisenyo bilang tugon sa itinakda ng Republic Act No. 11476 o GMRC and Values Education Act. Layunin ng seryeng ito na magsilbing gabay sa paglinang, pagpapatatag, at pagsasabuhay ng mga pagpapahalagang moral at etikal na maghuhubog sa kabataang Pilipino bilang responsableng mamamayan.

Sinusunod ng seryeng ito ang kabuuang istruktura ng kurikulum—mula sa Pamantayan sa Bawat Yugto at Pamantayan sa Bawat Baitang, hanggang sa Nilalaman, Pamantayang Pangnilalaman, Mga Kasanayang Pampagkatuto, at Pamantayan sa Pagganap. Kalakip nito ang malinaw na pagtukoy sa mga lilinanging pagpapahalaga sa bawat aralin upang matiyak na ang pagkatuto ay hindi lamang nakatuon sa kaalaman, kundi sa aktuwal na pagsasabuhay ng kabutihan.

Binuo rin ang mga aklat batay sa Spiral Progression Approach kung saan ang mga konsepto at pagpapahalaga ay unti-unting pinalalalim habang tumataas ang baitang. Tinitiyak ng vertical articulation ang tuloy-tuloy na paglinang ng mga pagpapahalaga mula sa mababang baitang hanggang sa mas mataas na antas, samantalang pinagtitibay ng horizontal articulation ang ugnayan ng Values Education sa iba pang asignatura at karanasan ng mga mag-aaral. Ang mga aralin sa serye ay iniuugnay sa mga isyung panlipunan at sa mga temang may kinalaman sa pagmamahal sa sarili, pamilya, kapuwa, Diyos, kalikasan, bayan, at sanlibutan upang maging makabuluhan at napapanahon ang pagkatuto.

Sa kabuuan, ang seryeng ito ay naglalayong ihanda ang mga mag-aaral hindi lamang para sa paaralan kundi para sa tunay na buhay—bilang mga taong may dignidad, may malasakit, at may kakayahang kumilos para sa kabutihan ng lahat.
