Definition of Terms

The following terms are conceptually defined. Some are operationally


defined for the researchers to have a better understanding of the
relevance of these terms in the present study.

Basic Education Curriculum – A basic education is an evolving


program of instruction that is intended to provide students with the
opportunity to become responsible and respectful global citizens, to
contribute to their economic well-being and that of their families and
communities, to explore and understand different perspectives, and to
enjoy productive and satisfying lives. (Washington State Legislature,
1997)

K-12 Curriculum – The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12


years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of
Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS]) to
provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop
lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-
level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. (Don
Carlo Cavina School)

Pre- University Education - pre-university course or pre-degree


course, popularly abbreviated to PUC or PDC, is an intermediate
course (which is known as 10+2) of two years' duration (Wikipedia)

Senior High School - Senior High School (SHS) covers the last two
years of the K to 12 program and includes Grades 11 and 12. In SHS,
students will go through a core curriculum and subjects under a track
of their choice. (Department of Education)
Global education - Global education, or global studies, is an
interdisciplinary approach to learning concepts and skills necessary to
function in a world that is increasingly interconnected and
multicultural. The curricula based on this approach are grounded in
traditional academic disciplines but are taught in the context of
project-and problem-based inquiries. The learner examines issues
from the vantage point of the individual, the local community, the
nation, and the world community. As social conditioning, an essential
component of schooling, global studies takes an international stance
that respects local allegiances and cultural diversity while adhering to
the principles of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
