K to 12 BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL – ACADEMIC TRACK


Subject Description: The course provides opportunities for students to discover patterns and extract meanings from emerging trends. It aids in developing their critical and creative thinking skills– essential tools for decision making and understanding “ethics of care”. Global trends in the 21st century are examined and are either accepted or rejected on a sound set of criteria. Students will be asked to create and analyze scenarios that will challenge them to (1) formulate their stances on issues or concerns; (2) propose interventions and; (3) formulate alternative features.


Unit I: Understanding Elements and Characteristics of Trends


A trend is a behavior or new way of doing things and it has a big impact on our society. It is a sequential pattern of change in a condition, output, or process, or an average or general tendency of a series of data points to move in a certain direction over time, represented by a line or curve on a graph.

The process of identifying a trend
Trend analysis is the widespread practice of collecting information and attempting to spot a pattern, or trend, in the information.
Trend spotting is the identification of new trends or attempting to see the future.
Trend spotter is a person who notices and reports on new fashions, ideas, or activities that are becoming popular.
Difference between Fad and Trends
Trends have a much longer lifespan than fads.In fact, they can continue to be fashionable for years and even decades. The primary difference between a trend and a fad is that trends have the potential to be long-term influences on the market.
Unit II: Understanding Local Networks

This introduces us to the idea and importance of a network for us human beings. A gathering of individuals we interface consistently family, companions, neigbors, intructors and managers. Network is a group of people whom we interact daily.
Networks are analyzed in terms of: (Kilduff and Tsal, 2003, pp.30ff)
  1. Density
  2. Hierarchy
  3. Complexity
  4. Interdependence
  5. Embeddedness
Unit III: Global Netwoks: Labor and Migration
What is migration and globalization?
Globalization- is the most powerful force for change in the world today affecting all societies in the planet.
Migration- movement of people from one terittory to another for the purpose of taking up either a permanent or temporary residence.
People migrate for various reasons. The reasons may fall under four categories:
  1. environmental
  2. political
  3. cultural
  4. economic
Types of Migration
  • Internal Migration – this is defined as the process where migrants look for a new residence within their own country, state, or continent.
  • External Migration – moving in a different country, state or continent to a new residence
  • Migration – leaving one country to move to another
  • Immigration – moving into a new country
  • Forced Migration – this happens when the state or authorities forced its people to migrate for a reason
Unit IV: Planetary Networks: Climate Change
Change is inevitable. The era of globalization certainly contributed in changing the landscape of the world and its inhabitants. Amid this growth and  advancement in technology, the environment seems to bear and suffer the consequences. Every day, we are confronted with issues and problems related to the environment. The issue on climate change is one concrete manifestation and realization that the age of globalization and the rapid industrial and technological advancement has taken its toll on the naturalenvironment.
Climate Change- also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth.
Greenhouse Effect- the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.







Solutions: 
What to do: 
  • Reduce energy consumption
  • Travel Green
  • Watch your Water Use
  • Reduce Waste
  • Plant a Tree

Unit V: Democratic Interventions
Government intervention
- refers to the ways in which a government regulates or interferes with the various activities or decisions made by individuals or organizations within its jurisdiction. The effects of this can be positive or negative.
Democracy is one of the most important principles for a better world. In its truest sense, a democracy is a community in which all members have an equal say in the running of that community. Unfortunately in reality, democratic societies have fallen short of this ideal. 
Democratic Participation
is the empowerment of people to effectively involve themselves in creating structures,designing polices and programs that serves that interest of all. it requires association with other people.
MAIN TYPES OF DEMOCRACY
Constitutional- concentrates on laws enacted  by a regime concerning political activity
Substantive- stress on the quality of life that a regime tries to promote which include individual freedom,human welfare,security, social quality and good governance.
Procedural-  a thin scope of administrative practices to figure out if an administration
qualifies as democratic mainly focusing on how it conducts its election
Process oriented- differ significantly from constitutional,substativeand procedural accounts.
Unit VI: Information Communication Technology (ICT)

ICT - is an extended term for information technology (IT) which stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications. The phrase information and communications technology has been used by academic researchers since the 1980s, and the abbreviation ICT became popular after it was used in a report to the UK government by Dennis Stevenson in 1997.
Benefits of ICT to:
  1. Economic
  2. Political
  3. Social
  4. Cultural
  5. Personal
  •   Researcher make it clear that ICT advances social improvement by sharing learning,encouraging social innovativeness,expanding popularity based support and upgrading social cohesion. W are challenged to harness the potential of information and communication technology to promote the attainment of a more peaceful,just and prosperous world.
Unit VII: Neural and Social Networks

Neural is a computer system modeled on the human brain and nervous system. While Social networking is the practice of expanding the number of one's business and/or social contacts by making connections through individuals, often through social media sites such as FacebookTwitter, Instagram and Google+
Neural networks (also referred to as connectionist systems) are a computational approach, which is based on a large collection of neural units (AKA artificial neurons), loosely modeling the way a biological brain solves problems with large clusters of biological neurons connected by axons. 

APPLICATION:

Trends, Networks, and Critical Thinking in the 21st Century-
 helps us to be updated in everything. it may serve for us to be knowledeable, especially now a days in our generation, we are in modern period. we should know the trends, be updated through networking and use your critical thinking to use this things worthy and useful. it may help us easily to discover what is happening in our world and be one of the saviour and protector of our beautiful world.
