Integrating Scientific Literacy into Disaster Risk Reduction Strategies in the Philippine Basic Education Program
Keywords:
Scientific literacy, Disaster risk reduction, Education, Philippines, PedagogyAbstract
This study investigates the integration of scientific literacy into disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies within the Philippine Basic Education Program. Conducted through a systematic literature review, the research highlights key themes, including the current status of DRR education, the lack of emphasis on scientific literacy, pedagogical challenges and opportunities, and the significance of community engagement and awareness. The findings underscore the need for a more practical and hands-on approach to complement the current theoretical framework, emphasizing the pivotal role of innovative pedagogical practices such as inquiry-based learning, interdisciplinary teaching methods, and the integration of technology. Moreover, the study emphasizes the critical importance of fostering community engagement and awareness to promote a culture of preparedness and resilience at the grassroots level. The study advocates for the integration of scientific literacy, innovative pedagogical approaches, and community engagement as key components in developing a more resilient and well-informed society capable of effectively addressing the challenges posed by natural disasters.
