“…In recent years, researchers have documented how students benefit from local, learner-centered instruction and view culture through an asset-based lens (e.g., Kucan et al, 2018; Oser et al, 2014; Pang, 2018; Pang et al, 2021). Pang et al (2021) argue that teachers also benefit from developing this deeper asset-based knowledge of their students.…”

This article compares case studies to better understand how third grade teachers, serving low-income (including Title I) schools, adapted their instruction in the midst of a global pandemic to better support their students’ learning about locally-relevant civic issues. Civic perspective-taking components were embedded in the unit design with the aim of building deliberative, inclusive classrooms. The team designed lessons drawing from theories of culturally sustaining pedagogy. Using semi-structured interview data, we examined teachers’ reported thinking and perceptions about students’ needs and their own struggles to deliver purposeful, equitable instruction. Findings indicate that as teachers collaboratively designed the lessons they discussed how to balance relevance and sensitivity in relation to content that mirrored students lived realities. This study advances our understanding of what challenges teachers overcome to integrate culturally-sustaining practices in their social studies instruction.

“…As a result, the curriculum and teaching materials are often heavily focused on Western literature, history, and culture, which may not be particularly relevant or relatable to Filipino students [24]. Another factor is the limited availability of resources and funding for developing culturally relevant e-learning materials [25]. Many educational institutions in the Philippines may lack the resources to develop and produce high-quality e-learning materials tailored to Filipino students' cultural and linguistic needs [26].…”

The incorporation of culturally relevant supplemental e-learning materials in teaching has been gaining attention in recent years. This study examined the effectiveness of such materials in a purposive communication course. A pretest-posttest experimental design was employed, with 95 students participating in the study. The pre-test scores of both groups were found satisfactory, with no significant difference between them. However, after the intervention, the experimental group achieved substantially higher posttest results than the control group. The findings suggest that the use of culturally relevant materials can enhance students' motivation and engagement in e-learning by creating connections between the content and their personal experiences.
