| Abstract | This study examined the IP teachers’ conceptions of citizenship, pedagogies, and interpretations of citizenship education policies in Araling Panlipunan (AP) in relation to Indigenous Peoples Education (IPEd). This qualitative case study involved four IP schools, with I'1 IP teachers, four school heads, one DepEd official, and two NCIP officials as participants. The data were gathered through document analyses, interviews, and classroom observations. The study revealed the following findings: (1) IPs in Mindanao have an expanded conception of citizenship where it is not only understood as political but cultural i.e., expressing their multiple identities or their difference in ethnicity, language and religion, but belonging to the nation-state as Filipino; (2) There are contextual challenges to citizenship education for IPs as a result of discrimination experiences and issues confronted by IP schools; and (3) There are gaps in citizenship education practice and policy where the citizenship conception in the AP curriculum highlights participation and rights and responsibilities, while the IP conception emphasizes identity and values as IPs. The findings imply that there is a need to recruit more IP teachers in IP school since being an IP was treated as a positive advantage in relating to the community. Moreover, IP teachers implementing IPEd program need to be provided with more substantial support and supervision from authorities, especially in providing resources and technical knowledge. This will ensure that a relevant citizenship education will be implemented for IPs. Lastly, there is a need to deliberate on the possibility of offering civic or citizenship education as a separate subject area, or designating the grade level/s or grading period/s allotted for civics in the social studies curriculum. |
