KCFI’s lineup of educational shows for National History Month: Make National History Month more meaningful with Knowledge Channel

THIS National History Month, Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) invites you and your children to be more in touch with our history through our curriculum-aligned video lessons. Viewers can catch the special History Month lineup now airing on the MAKABANSA block on DepEd TV powered by Knowledge Channel. Airing Monday to Sunday at 12:20 p.m. and 8:40 p.m., the lineup of shows includes “WOW” and “Kasaysayan TV” for Grade 5 Araling Panlipunan and “Dokyumento.”

“WOW” takes learners around the Philippines to explore local history, culture, heritage and communities. A special episode featuring Philippine museums will also be aired, introducing learners to historical collections and cultural treasures that help tell the nation’s story.

“Kasaysayan TV” is a documentary series tracing key events in Philippine history using accurate, curriculum-aligned content developed with historians and partner institutions, while “Dokyumento” features student-produced documentaries from West Visayas State University, Philippine Normal University Visayas, CIIT College of Innovation and Integrated Technology and other colleges/universities.

KCFI continues to build on its legacy of history education through beloved classic shows like “Bayani,” “Pamana” and “Salam High School.”

Daily practice
On July 17, KCFI joined the Child Development Teachers/ Workers Summit in Binalonan, Pangasinan, where KCFI’s early childhood development consultant Dannah Ong shared practical strategies for inclusive learning environments for young children, reminding educators that inclusion is a daily practice.

Participants watched “Gen H: Generation Healthy,” codeveloped with AIA Philippines, which explored children’s emotions, stress management and social-emotional learning. The episode equipped teachers with practical approaches to help children recognize emotions, build positive relationships and create safe, responsive classrooms.

On July 28, KCFI and the National Book Development Board (NBDB) met to discuss potential collaborations, including publishing support for KCFI’s video lessons, participation in the NBDB’s translation grant program, and the Philippine Book Festival. The meeting highlighted KCFI’s teaching and learning ecosystem, which hopes to integrate books with educational videos, use of digital platforms and PRC-CPD-accredited teacher training to strengthen early childhood literacy.
