Twenty-first-century Philippine society is replete with myriad rapidly changing information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ways people plan, develop, implement, and communicate ideas and knowledge have been transformed as computers, the internet, social media, and mobile devices have become increasingly pervasive. To adapt to these changes, Filipinos need to develop a whole new range of ICT-related skills to be effective citizens in an increasingly digital world. This Learning Strand addresses the needs of ALS learners to develop basic skills in ICT use and digital literacy. Accordingly, a new Learning Strand has been added to the ALS Curriculum focused on “Digital Literacy” for 21st-century Filipino citizens. This Learning Strand seeks to help equip ALS learners with critical knowledge, skills, and values to be able to live and work effectively as part of the digital universe.
To achieve digital literacy, ALS learners need both ICT-related knowledge and skills, and the ability to integrate such skills and knowledge across the competencies listed in the other four Learning Strands of the ALS curriculum. This is the application part where the learners utilize their digital knowledge and skills as tools to communicate with others and solve problems in daily life. Each of the other four Learning Strands will thus go hand in hand with Learning Strand 5.
This Learning Strand covers the following digital literacy competencies:
Content Standard: Digital Concepts
Performance Standard: Explain basic concepts related to use of information communication technologies (ICTs) in an increasingly digital world
