PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Professional education is an approach to provide specialized training in a professional

school. It aims to acquire content knowledge for all participants in learning and applying
techniques in teaching. It also helps professionals to gain competencies necessary for proper
practices and behavioral management. Professional Education deepens all professionals to
incorporate their knowledge and values in professional discipline; understanding its core
concept, principles, guidelines and techniques. It enables professional to attain a level of
competence needed for responsible entry dedicated to professional practice; and the
acceptance for the continued development of competence.

It is designed to produce a very competitive and responsible professionals ensuring their

continuing competence in the profession by helping them recognize and understand the
significance of advancing professional knowledge and improving standards of practice. It
involves the translation of learning to practice and is intended to prevent occupations and
professionals from becoming obsolete.

CHILD AND ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT

Childhood defines as the time for a boy or girl from birth until he or she is an adult. It is more
circumscribed period of time from infancy to the onset of puberty. The Convention of the
Rights of the Child defines a child as “every human being below the age of 18 years unless
under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier”.

Adolescence - According to Stuart Judge, a noted educator and psychologist, adolescence is

the period of transition from childhood to adulthood. Although sometimes described as
beginning in parallel with fertility or puberty and ending with maturity and independence,
adolescence has a very variable and imprecise duration

The onset of adolescence cannot be pointed in physiological term, although it is influenced by

the same sex hormones and refers to the same general period as physical sexual development.
It represents a complex and sometimes disturbing psychological transition, accompanying the
requirement for the accepted social behavior of the particular adult and culture.

PHYSICAL AND MOTOR DEVELOPMENT

 Infants need to learn how to move and to use their bodies to perform various tasks, a
process better known as motor development. Initially, babies’ movements are simply
the uncontrolled, reflexive movements they are born with, over time, they learn to
move their body parts voluntarily to perform both gross (large) and fine (small) motor
skills. In general, babies begin developing motor skills form head to tail
(cephalocaudal), the center of the body outward (proximodistal). They learn to control
their head and neck before they learn to maneuver their arms; they learn to maneuver
their arms before they learn to manipulate their fingers. Babies learn to move their
torso before the learn how to move their arms and legs.
 The sucking reflex allows babies to drink milk and nourish themselves in the days of life.
 Another permanent and life-supporting reflex is heard turning in the first days of life.
 Another permanent life-supporting reflex is head turning. This reflex allows a baby to
turn his head if something (a blanket, pillow, or stuffed animal) is blocking his airflow.
 Another reflex that also babies survive is the rooting reflex. When babies root, they
may nuzzle their face and mouth into the caregiver’s chest or shoulder.
 The rest of the flexes have less survival value but are still notable. For the first 3 to 4
months, babies have an amazing grasping ability and reflex. They will grasp anything
place in their palm and hold it with amazing strength for their size. Some infants in the
first weeks of life can support their entire body weight through that grasp.
 While this reflex may not have any survival function in modern times, it does help
babies bond with caregivers and family in the first weeks of life. Similarly, for the first
two months, babies will ‘step” with their legs if they are held vertically with their feet
touching a surface. Even though this reflex disappears months before babies begin
walking purposely, experts believes stepping helps infants learn how their legs works
can be used.
 The Moro response is another reflex that is present during the first 6 months of life,
but doesn’t seem to have a purpose in modern life. A baby with arch her back, flail
out, and then curl up if she feels as although she is being dropped.
 The final reflex is Tonic Neck. During the first 4 months, when babies lie awake on
their backs with their heads facing to one side, they will extend the arm on the side of
their body that they’re facing and reflex the other arm at an angle, in a position that
resembles a fencing pose. This reflex may help prepare them for voluntary reaching
later in their environment.
 Between ages 2 and 3 years, young children stop “toddling”, or using the awkward,
wide- legged robot-like stance that is the hallmark of new walkers. As they develop a
smoother gait, they also develop the ability to run, and hop. Children of this age can
participate in throwing and catching games with larger balls. They can also push
themselves around with their feet while sitting on a riding toy.
 Children who are 3 to 4 years old can climb up stairs using a method of bringing
both feet together on each step before proceeding to the next step (in contrast, adult
place one foot on each step in sequence); However, young children may still need
some “back up” assistant to prevent falls in case they become unsteady in this new
skill. Children of this age will also be stumped when it’s time to go back down the
stairs; they tend to turn around and scoot down the stairs backwards. The 3 to 4 years
old can jump and hop higher as higher as their leg muscles grow stronger and many
can even hop on one foot for shorts period of time.
 By ages 4 to 5, children can go up and down the stairs alone in the adult fashion (i.e.
taking one step at a time); their running continues to smooth out and increase in speed.
Children of this age can also skip and add spin to their throws. They also have more
control when riding their tricycles (or bicycles), and can be drive them faster.
 During ages 5 to 6, young children continue to refine easier skills. They’re running
even faster and can start to ride bicycles with training wheels for added stability. In
addition, they can step sideways. Children of this age begin mastering new forms of
physical play such as the jungle gym, and begin to use the see-saw, slide, and swing on
their own. They often start jumping rope, skating, hitting balls with bats, and so on.
Many children of this age enjoy learning to play organized sports as soccer, basketball,
t-bale or swimming. In addition, 5 to 6 years old often like to participate in physical
2
extracurricular activities such as karate, gymnastics, or dance. Children continue to
refine and improve their gross motor skills through age 7 and beyond.

BRAIN DEVELOPMENT
 The human brain begins forming very early in prenatal life (just three weeks after
conception), but in many ways, brain development is a lifelong project. That is
because the same events that shape the brain during development are also responsible
for storing information—new skills and memories—throughout life.
 The rational part of a teen's brain isn't fully developed and won't be until age 25 or so.
In fact, recent research has found that adult and teen brains work differently. Adults
think with the prefrontal cortex, the brain's rational part.
 The brain continues to grow for a few years after a person is born and by the age of2
years old, the brain is about 80% of the adult size. You may wonder, "How does the
brain continue to grow, if the brain has most of the neurons it will get when you are
born? The answer is in glial cells.
 The bran’s ability to change from experience is known as Plasticity. The human brain
is especially plastic early in life, which is why the “nurture” part of the equation is so
important
 Throughout life the brain continues to be plastic-this is the mechanism of learning-but
plasticity declines in adulthood.
 As a child’s brain develops, it goes through several ’critical periods, a developmental
phase in which the brain requires certain environmental input and it will not develop
normally.
 The Frontal Lobe is the most recently-evolved part of the brain and the last to
develop in young adulthood. Its dorso-lateral prefrontal circuit is the brain's top
executive.

Early Milestones in Brain Growth

 4 months: the infant’s brain responds to every sound produced in all the languages of
the world.
 8 to 9 months: Babies can form specific memories from their experiences, such as how
to push a ball to make it roll.
 10 months: Babies can now distinguish and even produce the sounds of their own
language (such as “da-da”) no longer pay attention to the sounds of language that are
foreign.
 12 months: Babies whose parents say, for example” Lookee at the doggie” will go to
the appropriate picture of a dog in a picture book more often than those babies who are
talked to normal, flatter voices.
 12 to 18 months: Babies can keep in memory something that has been hidden and find
it again, even if it has completely covered up. They can also hold memory sequences
of simple activities, such as winding up a jack-in-the-box until the figure pops up.
 24 months: Preschool children now clear picture in mind of people who are dear to
them, and the get upset when separated from these people (even their peers)
 30 months: Preschool children can hold in mind a whole sequence of spatial maps and
know where things are in their environment.
 36 months: A preschool child can now two different emotions in his mind at the same
time, such as being sad that he spilled ice cream on his cloths but glad that he’s at
birthday party.
FACTORS AFFECTING DEVELOPMENT
1. Maternal Nutrition- the nutritional status of the women during adolescent pregnancy
and lactation has a direct impact on the child’s health and development.
2. Child Nutrition- the Child’s state of nutritional balance is crucial in his early
developmental age.
 3. Early Sensory Stimulation- Toys, soothing sounds and other sensorial stimulation
contribute to the child’s development.
4. Heredity and genes certainly play an important role in the transmission of physical
and social characteristics from parents to off-springs.

Exceptional Development
1. Physical Disabilities- Persons with physical disabilities may experience functional,
visual, orthopedic, motor, or hearing impairments, which may impact upon their
ability to walk, play and learn. Physical disabilities are also often defined and
categorized by some degree of limitation in the use of upper or lower extremities and
maintaining posture and positioning.
2. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
(ADHD)- Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Hyperkinetic
Disorder (as officially known in U.K., through ADHD is more commonly used) is
generally considered to be a developmental disorder, largely neurological in nature,
affecting about 5% of the world’s population. The disorder typically presents itself
during childhood, and is characterized by a present pattern of inattention and/or
hyperactivity, as well as forgetfulness, poor impulse control or impulsivity and
distractibility, ADHD is currently considered to be a persistent and chronic condition
for which no medical cure is available ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in
children and, over the past decade.

Linguistic and Literary Development

A. Natural History and Language Development - Language development is a process
that starts early in human life, when a person begins to acquire language by learning it
as it is spoken and by mimicry. Children’s language development moves from
simplicity to complexity. Infants start without language. Yet by four months of age,
babies can read lips and discriminate speech sounds.
 Usually, language starts off as recall of simple words without associated meaning,
but as children age, words acquire meaning, and connections between words are
formed, in time, sentences start to form as words are joined together to create
logical meaning. As a person gets older, new meaning and new associations are
created and vocabulary increases as more words are learned.
 Infant use their bodies, vocal cries and other preverbal vocalizations to
communicate their wants, needs and dispositions. Even though most children begin
to vocalize and eventually verbalize at various ages and at different rates, they learn
their first language without conscious instruction from parents or caretakers. It is
seemingly effortless task that grows increasingly difficult with age. Of course,
before any learning can begin, the child must be biologically and socially mature
enough.

B. Biological Preconditions - Linguist do not all agree on what biological factors

contribute to language development, however most do agree that our ability to acquire
such a complicated system is specific to the human species, Furthermore, our ability to
learn language may have been developed through the evolutionary process and that the
foundation for language may be passed down genetically.
C. Second Preconditions - it is crucial that children are allowed to socially interact with
other people who can vocalize and respond to questions. For language acquisition to
develop
 successfully, children must be in an environment that allows them to communicate
socially in that language.

There are a few different theories as to why and how children develop language. The most
popular explanation is that language is acquired through imitation. However, this proves to
be more of a folk tale than anything. Two most accepted theories in language development are
psychological and functional. Psychological explanations focus on the mental processes
involved in childhood language learning. Functional explanations look at the social process
involved in learning the first language.

Bilingual Language Development

 There are two major patters in bilingual language acquisition; simultaneous
Bilingualism and Sequential bilingualism. In simultaneous bilingualism, the child
acquires two languages at the same time before the age of 3 years. These children may
mix words or parts of words from both languages in the first stage. Stage 2 occurs at 4
years and older when distinction between the two languages takes place, and the child
uses each language separately. Sequential bilingualism also occurs before the child is 3
years old, but the child can draw in on the knowledge and experience of first language
while acquiring the second language.
 Detecting delays in the speech and language of multilingual children presents a
challenge. The authors state that “the key is to obtain information about the child’s
entire language system, not just the primary or secondary language”.
 The following “red flags” may indicates that the child who is simultaneously acquiring
two languages id experiencing problems with language development.
 No sounds by 2-6 months
 Less than one new words per week for 6-15 month-old children.
 Less than 20 words (in the two languages combined by 20 months: and
 No use of word combinations and a very limited vocabulary by age 2-3 years
 Red flags for abnormal language development in the sequential acquisition of
two language include.
 Lack of normal milestones in the first language
 Prolonged phase of not talking
 Difficulty of retrieving words

FACTORS AFFECTING LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT

• Inadequate stimulation (talking and playing with the child)
• Delayed general development (global developmental delay), physical development
motor skills), cognitive development etc.
• Specific difficulty with language learning. Not very interested in language, prefers
other modalities e.g. physical activities
• Poor control and/or coordination of the speech muscles; lips, tongue etc.
• Medical problems
• Inadequate awareness of communication, lacks” communication intent”
• Reduced hearing e.g. ear infection, fluid in ear, impacted earwax etc.
• Changes in child’s environment e.g. moving
• Exposure to too many languages for the child
• Inadequate opportunity for speech e.g. the child everyone talks for, the “babied” child
has a more dominant sibling etc.
• Emotional factors e.g. behavioral problems, anxiety, pressure to perform etc.
 • Short attention span.
• Family history of speech and language delays or difficulties

Exceptional Development
Aphasia- Aphasia (or aphmia) is a loss of the ability to produce and/or comprehend language due to
injury to brain areas specialized for these functions. It is not a result of deficits in sensory, intellect, or
psychiatric functioning. Depending on the area and extent of the damage, someone suffering
from aphasia may be able to speak but not write, or vice versa, or display any of wide variety
of other deficiencies in language comprehension and production, such as being able to sing
but not to speak.

Dyslexia-Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that manifests primarily as a difficulty with

written language, particularly with reading and spelling. Dyslexia is the result of a
neurological differences but is not intellectual disability. Most people with dyslexia have
average or above average intelligence.

Evidence suggests that dyslexia results for differences in how the brain processes written
and/or verbal language. It is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from
other causes, such as deficiencies in intelligence, a non-neurological deficiency with vision or
hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading instruction.

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
Theories of Cognitive Development. Jean Piaget-Swiss psychologist (1896-1980). His
theory provided many central concepts in the field of developmental psychology and
concerned the growth of the intelligence, which for Piaget, meant the ability to more
accurately represent the world and perform logical operations on representations of the
concepts grounded in the world. The theory concerns the emergence and acquisitions of the
schemata-schemes, of one perceives the world in the “developmental stages”, time when
children are acquiring new ways of mentally representing- information.

Sensorimotor period (years 0 - 2 )

Infants are born with a set of congenital reflexes, according to Piaget, in addition to explore
their world. Their initial schemas are formed through differentiation of the congenital
reflexes:
 The first sub-stage, known as the reflex schema stage, occurs form birth to six weeks and
is associated primarily with the developmental reflexes. Three primary reflexes are
described by Piaget: sucking of objects in the mouth following moving or interesting
objects with the eyes, and closing of the hand when an object makes contact with the palm
(palmar grasp). Over this first six weeks of life, these reflexes begin to become voluntary
actions; for example, the palmar reflex becomes intentional grasping.
 The second sub-stage, primary circular reaction phase, occurs form six weeks to four
months and is associates primarily with the development of habits. Primary circular
reactions or repeating of an action involving only one’s body begins. An example of this
type of reaction would involve something like an infant repeating the motion of passing
their hands before their face. The schema developed during this stage inform the infant
about the relationships among his body parts (e.g. in passing the hand in form of his eyes
he develop a motor schema for moving his arm so that the hand becomes visible.
 The third sub-stage, the secondary circular reactions phase, occurs from four to nine
months and is associated primarily with the development of coordination between vision
and apprehension. Three new abilities occur at this stage: intentional grasping for a desired
object, secondary circular reactions, and differentiations between ends and means. At this
stage, infants will intentionally grasp the air in the direction of a desired object, often to
the amusement of friends, family, younger and older siblings, grandparents, etc.
Secondary circular reactions, or the repetition of an action involving an external object
begin; for example, moving a switch to turn on a light repeatedly. The differentiation
between means also occurs. This is perhaps of one of the most important stages of a
child’s growth as it signifies the drawn for logic. However, babies still only have a very
early rudimentary grasp of this and most of their discoveries have an “accidental” quality
to them in that the initial performance of what will soon become a secondary circular
reactions occurs by chance; but the operant conditioning causes the initial “accidental”
behavior (which was followed by an “interesting pattern of stimulation) to be repeated.
And the ability to repeat the act is the result of primary circular reactions established in the
previous stage. For example, when the infant’s hand accidentally makes contact with an
object in hid field of vision is based on the primary circular reaction bringing his hand into
his field of vision. Thus, the child learns (at the level of schemata) that “if he can see it
then he can also touch it” and this results in a schemata which is the knowledge that is
external environment is populated with solid objects.
 The fourth sub-stage, called the coordination of secondary circular reactions stage, which
occurs from nine to twelve months, is when Piaget thought that object permanence
developed. In addition, the stage is called the coordination of secondary circular reactions
stage, and is primarily with the development of logic and the coordination between means
and ends, this is extremely important marks the beginning of goal orientation or
intentionally, the deliberate planning of steps to meet an objective.
 The fifth sub-stage, tertiary circular reactions phase, occurs from twelve to eighteen
months and is associated primarily with the discovery of new means to meet goals. Piaget
describes the child at this juncture as the “young scientist”, conducting pseudo-
experiments to discover new methods of meeting challenges.
 The six sub-stage, considered “beginning of symbolic representation”, is associated
primarily with the beginnings of insight, or true creativity. In this stag the trial- and error
application of schemata, which was observable during the previous stage, occurs internally
(at the level of schemata rather than of motor responses), resulting in the sudden
appearance of new effective behaviors (without any observable trial-and-error). This is
also the time when symbols (words and images) begin to stand for other objects. This
marks the passage into the preoperational stage.

Preoperational period (years 2 – 7)

The Preoperational stage is the second of four stage of cognitive development. By observing
sequence of play, Piaget was able to demonstrate that towards the end of the second year a
qualitatively new kind of psychological functioning occurs (Pre) Operatory Thought in
Piagetian theory is any procedure for mentally acting on objects. The hallmark of the
preoperational stage is spare and logically inadequate mental operations.

According to Piaget, the Pre Operational stage of development follows the sensorimotor stage
and occur between 2-7 years of age. It includes the following processes.
  Symbolic functioning- characterized by the use of mental symbols, words, or pictures,
which the child uses to represent something which is not physically present
 Centration-characterized by a child focusing or attending to only one aspect of a
stimulus or situation. For example, in pouring a quantity of liquid from a narrow
beaker into a shallow dish, a preschool child might judge the quantity of liquid to have
decreased, because it is “lower”- that is, the child attends to the height of the water, but
not the compensating increase in the diameter of the container.
 Intuitive thought- occurs when the child is able to believe in something without
knowing why she or he believes it.
 Egocentrism- a version of centration, this denotes a tendency of a child to only think
for her or his own point of view. Also, the inability of a child to take the point of view
of others. Example, if a child is in trouble, he or she might cover her eyes thinking if I
cannot see myself my mom cannot either.
 Inability to conserve-though Piaget’s conservation experiments (conservation of mass,
volume and number after the original form has been changed. For example, a child in
this phase will believe that a string which has up in ”o-o-o-o” pattern will have a larger
number of beads than a string which has a oooo: pattern, because the latter pattern has
less space between Os; or that a tall, thin 8-ounce cup has more liquid in it than a wide,
short 8-ounce cup.
 Animism- The child believes that inanimate objects have: lifelike” qualities and are
capable of action. Example, a child plays with a doll and treats it likes a real person. In
a way this like using their imagination.

Concrete operational period (years 7 – 11)

The Concrete operational stage is the third of four stages of cognitive development in Piaget’s
theory. This stage, which follows the Preoperational stage, occurs between the ages 7 and 11
years and is characterized by the appropriate use of logic. Important process during this stage
are:
 Seriation - the ability to arrange objects in an order according to size, shape, or any
other characteristic. For example, if given different-shaded objects they may make a
color gradient.
 Classification - the ability to name and identify sets of objects according to
appearance, size or other characteristic, including the idea that one set of objects can
include another, a child is no longer subject to the illogical limitations of animism ( the
belief that all objects are alive and therefore have feelings)
 Decentering - where the child takes into account multiple aspects of a problem to
solve it. For example, the child will no longer perceive an exceptionally wide but short
cup to contain less than a normally-wide, taller cup.
 Reversibility - where the child understands that numbers or objects can be changed,
then returned to their original state. For this reason, a child will be able to rapidly
determine that if 4 +4 equals 8, 8/4 will equal 4, the original quantity
 Conservation - understanding that quantity, length or number of items is unrelated to
the arrangement or appearance of the object or items. For instance, when a child is
presented with two equally-sized, full cup they will be able to discern that if water is
transferred to a pitcher it will conserve the quantity and be equal to the other filled up.
 Elimination of Egocentrism - the ability to view things from another’s perspective
(even if they think incorrectly). For instance, show a child a comic in whom Jane puts
a doll under the box leaves the room, and then Sarah moves the doll to a drawer,
and Jane comes back. A
 child in the concrete operation stage will stay that Jane will still think it’s under the
box even through the child knows it is in the drawer

Formal operation period (years 11 adulthood)

The formal operational period is the fourth and final of the periods of cognitive development
in the Piaget’s theory. This stage, which follows the Concrete Operational stage, commences
at around 11
years of age (puberty) and continuous into adulthood. It is characterized by acquisition of the ability
to think abstractly, reason logically and draw conclusions from the information available.
During this stage the young adult is able to understand such things as love “shades of gray”,
logical proofs, and values,

Lev Vygotsky-Psychologist, was born in 1896 in Orsha, Belarys (then a part of the Russian
Empire). Vygotsky was tutored privately by Solomon Asphiz and graduated from Moscow
State University in 1917. Later, he attended the Institute of Psychology in Moscow (1924-34),
where he worked extensively on ideas about cognitive development, particularly the
relationship between language and thinking. His writings emphasized the roles of historical
cultural, and social factors in cognition and argued that language was the most important
symbolic tool provided by society.

Perhaps Vygotsky’s most important contribution concerns the inter-relationship of language

development and thought. This concept, explored in Vygotsky’s book “Thinking and
Speaking”, establishes the explicit and profound connection between speech (both silent inner
speech and oral language), and the development of mental concepts and cognitive awareness.
It should be noted that Vygotsky described inner speech as being qualitatively different than
normal (external) speech, For Vygotsky, social interaction is important for learning, i.e.
children learn adults and other children.

PHILOSOPHICAL PROPONENTS

Wilhelm Wundt is the Father of Modern Psychology, was a German physician, physiologist,
philosopher, and professor, known today as one of the founding figures of modern
psychology. Wundt, who noted psychology as a science apart from philosophy and biology,
was the first person ever to call himself a psychologist.
Sigmund Freud is the Father of Psychoanalysis and Psychosexual Theory. He was an
Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating
psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst. Freud was born to
Galician Jewish parents in the Moravian town of Freiberg, in the Austrian Empire.
Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi is the Father of Modern Education. He was a Swiss pedagogue
and educational reformer who exemplified Romanticism in his approach. He founded several
educational institutions both in German- and French-speaking regions of Switzerland and
wrote many works explaining his revolutionary modern principles of education.
Ivan Pavlov is the proponent of classical conditioning theory and he was a Russian
physiologist known primarily for his work in classical conditioning. From his childhood days
Pavlov demonstrated intellectual curiosity along with an unusual energy which he referred to
as "the instinct for research". Inspired by the progressive ideas which D. I.
Burrhus Frederic Skinner is the proponent for operant conditioning (Instrument), commonly
known as B. F. Skinner, was an American psychologist, behaviorist, author, inventor, and
social philosopher.
He was the Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology at Harvard University from 1958 until his
retirement in 1974.
Edward Lee Thorndike is the proponent for the Laws of Learning (law of readiness, law of
exercise & law of effect). He was an American psychologist who spent nearly his entire career
at Teachers College, Columbia University. His work on comparative psychology and the
learning process led to the theory of connectionism and helped lay the scientific foundation
for educational psychology.
Albert Bandura is the proponent for social cognitive learning theory (Modelling), he was a
Canadian- American psychologist who is the David Starr Jordan Professor Emeritus of Social
Science in Psychology at Stanford University.
David Ausubel was an American psychologist. His most significant contribution to the fields
of educational psychology, cognitive science, and science education learning was on the
development and research on advance organizers since 1960 and the proponent for his
Meaningful Learning Theory.
Jerome Bruner is responsible for human cognitive psychology and cognitive learning theory
in educational psychology. He was an American psychologist who made significant
contributions to human cognitive psychology and cognitive learning theory in educational
psychology. Bruner was a senior research fellow at the New York University School of Law.
Kurt Levin mastered Life Space Concept, known as one of the modern pioneers of social,
organizational, and applied psychology in the United States. The approach, developed by
Kurt Lewin, is a significant contribution to the fields of social science, psychology, social
psychology, organizational development, process management, and change management. His
theory was expanded by John R. P. French who related it to organizational and industrial
settings.
Wolfgang Kohler specialized in Insight Learning or Problem Solving by Insight, was a
German psychologist and phenomenologist who, like Max Wertheimer, and Kurt Koffka,
contributed to the creation of Gestalt psychology. Insight learning is perhaps the greatest
contribution Wolfgang Kohler made to psychology. Building off the influence of Gestalt
psychology, Kohler discovered that learning can occur when we gain insight into an entire
situation, as opposed to focusing only on an individual part.
Urie Bronfenbrenner - Ecological Systems Theory. (1917-2005) developed the ecological
systems theory to explain how everything in a child and the child's environment affects how a
child grows and develops. He labeled different aspects or levels of the environment that
influence children's development, including the: Microsystem. He was a Russian-born
American developmental psychologist who most was known for his ecological systems theory
of child development. His scientific work and his assistance to the United States government
helped in the formation of the Head Start program in 1965.
Sandra Bem - Gender Schema Theory. He was an American psychologist known for her
works in androgyny and gender studies. Her pioneering work on gender roles, gender
polarization and gender stereotypes led directly to more equal employment opportunities for
women in the United States.
Howard Gardner - Theory of Multiple Intelligence. He believed that the conventional
concept of intelligence was too narrow and restrictive and that measures of IQ often miss out
on other "intelligences" that an individual may possess. He was an American developmental
psychologist and the John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at
the Harvard Graduate School of Education at Harvard University.
Elliot Turiel – Domain Based Moral Education and was an American psychologist and
Chancellor’s Professor at the Graduate School of Education at the University of California,
Berkeley. He teaches courses on human development and its relation to education.
Robert J. Sternberg - Triarchic Theory of Intelligence. These three examples
exemplify Robert Sternberg's triarchic theory on intelligence. The triarchic theory describes
three distinct types
of intelligence that a person can possess. Sternberg calls these three types practical
intelligence, creative intelligence, and analytical intelligence. He was an American
psychologist and psychometrician. He is Professor of Human Development at Cornell
University. Prior to joining Cornell, Sternberg was president of the University of Wyoming.
Lawrence Kohlberg - Moral Development Theory. The Theory of Moral Development is a
very interesting subject that stemmed from Jean Piaget's theory of moral reasoning.
Developed by psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg, this theory made us understand that morality
starts from the early childhood years and can be affected by several factors. He was an
American psychologist best known for his theory of stages of moral development. He served
as a professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Chicago and at the Graduate
School of Education at Harvard University.
Erik Erikson - Psychosocial Development Theory. He was a German-American
developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst known for his theory on psychological
development of human beings. He may be most famous for coining the phrase identity crisis.
His son, Kai T. Erikson, is a noted American sociologist.
Maria Montessori - Montessori Method, Transfer of Learning. She was an Italian physician
and educator best known for the philosophy of education that bears her name, and her writing
on scientific pedagogy. Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed
activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make
creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the teacher offer age-appropriate
activities to guide the process.
Edward Paul Torrance - Creativity Problem Solving and considered to be the Father of
Creativity. He was an American psychologist from Milledgeville, Georgia. After completing
his undergraduate degree at Mercer University, Torrance acquired a Master's degree at the
University of Minnesota and then a doctorate from the University of Michigan. His teaching
career spanned from 1957 to 1984.
Avram Noam Chomsky - Linguistic (Language) Acquisition Device (LAD). He was an
American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, and social critic. Sometimes
described as "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic
philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. Noam Chomsky is a
contemporary psychologist, linguist, and political activist known both for his theory of innate
grammar and for his political activism.
Jean Piaget - Cognitive Development Theory. He was famous through a series of stages,
Piaget proposed four stages of cognitive development: the sensorimotor, preoperational,
concrete operational and formal operational period. He was a Swiss psychologist known for
his work on child development. Piaget's theory of cognitive development and epistemological
view are together called "genetic epistemology". Piaget placed great importance on the
education of children.
John Watson - Behaviorism Theory. He was an American psychologist who established the
psychological school of behaviorism. Watson promoted a change in psychology through his
address Psychology as the Behaviorist Views it, which was given at Columbia University in
1913. Through his behaviorist approach, Watson conducted research on animal behavior,
child rearing, and advertising. In addition, he conducted the controversial "Little Albert"
experiment and the Kerplunk experiment. Watson popularized the use of the scientific
theory with behaviorism.
Edward Chace Tolman - Purposive Behaviorism. He was an American psychologist.
Through Tolman's theories and works, he founded what is now a branch of psychology known
as purposive behaviorism. Tolman also promoted the concept known as latent learning first
coined by Blodgett.
Bernard Weiner - Attribution Theory on Achievement. He was an American social
psychologist known for developing a form of attribution theory which explains the emotional
and motivational entailments of academic success and failure. Bernard Weiner got interested
in the field of attribution after the first studying achievement motivation.
Daniel Goleman - Emotional Intelligence. He was an author and science journalist. For
twelve years, he wrote for The New York Times, reporting on the brain and behavioral
sciences. Emotional Intelligence (Goleman) 3 years ago • Motivation Theories • Emotional
Intelligence (EQ) is defined as the ability to identify, assess, and control one's own emotions,
the emotions of others, and that of groups.
Hermann Ebbinghaus - law of forgetting. The forgetting curve hypothesizes the decline of
memory retention in time. This curve shows how information is lost over time when there is
no attempt to retain it. A related concept is the strength of memory that refers to the durability
that memory traces in the brain. He was a German psychologist who pioneered the
experimental study of memory, and is known for his discovery of the forgetting curve and the
spacing effect. He was also the first person to describe the learning curve. He was the father of
the eminent neo-Kantian philosopher Julius Ebbinghaus.
John Locke - Theory of Association. According to other social contract theorists, when the
government fails to secure their natural rights (Locke) or satisfy the best interests of society
(called the "general will" in Rousseau), citizens can withdraw their obligation to obey, or
change the leadership through elections or other means. He was an English philosopher and
physician, widely regarded as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers and
commonly known as the "Father of Liberalism".
Edward Thorndike - Belongingness and Connectionism. In 1898, was famous in psychology
for his work on learning theory that lead to the development of operant conditioning within
behaviorism. Whereas classical conditioning depends on developing associations between
events, operant conditioning involves learning from the consequences of our behavior. He was
an American psychologist who spent nearly his entire career at Teachers College, Columbia
University. His work on comparative psychology and the learning process led to the theory of
connectionism and helped lay the scientific foundation for educational psychology.
David McClelland - Needs Achievement Theory or Human Motivation Theory. Human
Motivation Theory states that every person has one of three main driving motivators: the
needs for achievement, affiliation, or power. These motivators are not inherent; we develop
them through our culture and life experiences. He was an American psychologist, noted for
his work on motivation Need Theory. He published a number of works during the 1950s and
the 1990s and developed new scoring systems for the Thematic Apperception Test and its
descendants.
Henry Murray - Theory of Psychogenic Needs. He was an American psychologist at Harvard
University. He was Director of the Harvard Psychological Clinic in the School of Arts and
Sciences after 1930. Murray developed a theory of personality called personology, based on
"need" and "press".
Victor Harold Vroom - Expectancy Theory. Vroom's expectancy theory assumes that
behavior results from conscious choices among alternatives whose purpose it is to maximize
pleasure and minimize pain. Vroom realized that an employee's performance is based on
individual’s factors such as personality, skills, knowledge, experience and abilities. He was a
business school professor at the Yale School of Management. He holds a PhD from University
of Michigan and an MS and BS from McGill University.
Lev Semyonovich Vysgotsky - Sociocultural Theory or "zone of proximal development"
(ZPD). His worked was largely unknown to the West until it was published in 1962. ... It
asserts three major themes regarding social interaction, the more knowledgeable other, and the
zone of proximal development. He was a Soviet psychologist, the founder of an unfinished
Marxist theory of human cultural and bio-social development commonly referred to as
cultural-historical psychology

INFORMATION AND PROCESSING THEORY

There are three primary stages in the Information and Processing Theory:
 Encoding- information is sensed, perceived, and attended.
 Storage- the information is stored for either a brief or extended period of time
depending upon the processes following encoding
 Retrieval- The information is found at the appropriate time, and reactivated for use on
a current task, the true test of effective memory.

The initial appeal of information processing theories was the idea that cognitive processes
could be described in a stage-like model. The stages to processing follow a path along which
information is taken into the memory system, and reactivated when necessary. Most theories
of information processing center around three main stages in the memory process.
Sensory Register

The first step in the IP model hold ALL sensory information for a VERY BRIEF time period.
 Capacity: we hold an enormous amount, more that we can ever perceive.
 Duration: Extremely brief- in order of 1 to 3 seconds

The Role of Attention

 To move information into consciousness, we need to attend to it. That is, we only have
the ability to perceive and remember later those things that pass through the attention
gate.

Short Term Memory (working Memory)

 Capacity: What you can say about in 2 seconds. Often said to be 7+/_2 items.
 Duration: Around 18 seconds or less
 To reduce the loss of information in 18 seconds, you need to rehearse
 There are two types of rehearsal- Maintenance and Elaborative

Long Term Memory - the final storing house of memorial information, the long term
memory store holds information until needed again.
 Capacity: unlimited?
 Duration: indefinite?

Executive Control Processes

 Also known as executive processor, or Metacognitive skills
 Guide the flow of information through the system, helps the learner make informed
 Example processes-attention, rehearsals, organization
 Sometimes call METACOGNITVE SKILLS

The ability to access information when needed

 There are two main ways in which forgetting likely occurs:
 Decay-Information is not attended to, and eventually fades away.
 Very prevalent in working memory.
 Inference-New or old information blocks’ access to the information in question.
Methods for Increasing the Probability of Remembering
  Organization- info that is organized efficiently should be recalled
 Deep processing- This is focusing upon meaning.
 Elaboration- Connecting new info with old, to gain meaning.
 Generation- Things we produce are easier to remember than things we hear.
 Context-Remembering the situation helps recover information
 Personalization- making the information relevant to the individual
 Memory Methods
 Memorization (note the same as learning)
 Serial Position Effect (regency and primacy) you will remember the beginning and end
of list most readily
 Part Learning - Break up the list to increase memorization
 Distributed Practice- Break up learning sessions, rather than cramming all the info in
at once (Massed Practice)
 Mnemonics Aids
 Loci Method - Familiar place, associate list with items in place (i.e. living room)
 Peg-type - Standard list is a cue to the target list.
 Acronym – SCUBA
 Chain Mnemonics – EGBDF
 Key word Method - Association of new word/ concept with well know word/concept
that sounds similar.

THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE
1. Psychometric Theories have sought to understand the structure of intelligence; the
form, it categories, and its composition. Underlying psychometric intelligence theory
is a psychological model according to which intelligence is a combination of abilities
that can be measured by mental testing. These tests often include analogies,
classification / identification, and series completion. Each test score is equally
weighted according to the evidence of underlying ability in each category

British psychologist Charles E. Spearman published the first psychometric theory

1904. His theory noted that people who excelled on one mental ability test often did
well on the others, and people who did poorly on one of them tended to do poorly with
others. Using this concept, Spearman devised a technique of statistical analyzing that
examined patterns of individual scores. This analysis helped him discover what he
believed to be the two sources if these individual differences: the “general factor”
which is our general intellectual ability, and a test-specific factor.

American psychologist L.L. Thurstone disregarded with Spearman’s theory and his
isolation of the “general factor” of intelligence. Thurstone believed that the “general
factor “resulted from Spearman’s method of analysis, and that if analysis were more
thorough, seven factors would emerge. These seven factors were collectively called
the “primary mental abilities” and included verbal comprehension, verbal
comprehension, verbal fluency, numbers, spatial visualization, inductive reasoning,
memory, memory and perceptual speed.

Most psychologists agree that a broader subdivision of abilities than Spearman’s

classification is necessary, but only some agree with hierarchal subdivision. It quickly
became apparent to many psychologists that were problems that could not be
addressed by
 psychometric theories. The number of abilities could not be positively identified, and
the differences between them could not be clearly defined due to the limitations of
testing and analysis. However, the most significant problem extended beyond the
number of abilities: what happens in someone’s mind when they are using the ability
in question? Psychometric theories had no means of addressing this issue, and
cognitive theories began to fill this gap.

2. Cognitive Theories. During the era of psychometric theories, people’s test scores
dominated the study of intelligence. In 1957, American psychologist Lee Cronbach
criticized how some psychologists study individual differences and other study
commonalities in human behavior, but the two methods never meet. Cronbach voiced
the need for two methods to be united, which led to the development of cognitive
theories of intelligence.

Without understanding the processes underlying intelligence, we cannot come to

accurate conclusions when analyzing test scores or assessing someone’s performance.
Cognitive analysis helps the interpretation of the test scores by determining to what
degree the score reflects reasoning ability and the degree to which it is a result of not
understanding the questions or vocabulary. Psychometric theories did not differentiate
between these two factors, which have a significant effect on the determination of
intelligence. Many people are excellent reasoners but have modest vocabularies, and
vice versa.

Underlying the cognitive approach to intelligence is the assumption that intelligence is

comprised of a set of mental representations of information, and a set of processes that
operate the mental representations. It is assumed that a more intelligent person
represents information better, and operates more quickly on these representations than
does a less intelligent person.
Several different cognitive theories of intelligence have emerged over the years. One
was introduced by Earl Hunt, Nancy Frost, and Clifford Lunneborg, who in 1973
showed one way on which psychometric and cognitive modeling could be combined.
Instead of using conventional psychometric tests, they used tasks that allowed them to
study the basis of cognition-perception, learning and memory. Individual differences
in the tasks became apparent, which they related to differing patterns of performing
and operating manual representations.
Several years later, Robert Stemberg suggested an alternative approach to studying
cognitive process. He argued, based on evidence he had gathered, that there weak only
a weak relationship between basic cognitive tasks and psychometric test scores
because the tasks being used were too simple. Although simple task involve cognitive
processes, they are peripheral rather than central.
Although opposing cognitive theories exist, they are all based on the serial processing
of information, which means that cognitive processes are executed one after another in
a series.

The assumption is that we process chunks of information one at a time, trying to

combine the processes into an overall problem-solving strategy. Other psychologists
have challenged this idea, arguing that cognitive processing is parallel, meaning that
we process large amounts of information simultaneously. However, it has proved
difficult to distinguish between serial and parallel models of information processing.
 Despite evidence and support of cognitive intelligence theories, a major problem
remains regarding the nature of intelligence. Cognitive theories do not take into
account that the description of intelligence may differ from one cultural group to
another. Even within mainstream cultures, it will know that conventional tests do not
reliably predict performance. Therefore in addition to cognition, the context in which
the cognition operates also needs to be accounted for.

EXCEPTIONAL DEVELOPMENT – A COGNITIVE APPROACH

Giftedness - For many years, psychometricians and psychologists, following the footsteps of
Lewis Terman in 1916, equated giftedness with high IQ. This “legacy” survives to the present
day, in that giftedness and high IQ continue to be equated in some conceptions of giftedness.
Since that early time, however, other researchers (e.g., Cattell, Guilford, and Thurnstone) have
argued that intellect cannot be expressed in such a unitary manner, and have suggested more
multifaceted approaches to intelligence. Research conducted in the 1980s has provided data
which support notions of multiple components to intelligence. This is particularly evident in
the examination of “giftedness” by Stenberge and Davidson in their edited Conceptions of
Giftedness. The many different conceptions of giftedness presented, although distinct, are
interrelated in several ways. Most of the investigators define giftedness in terms of multiple
qualities, not all of which are intellectual, IQ scores are often viewed as in adequate measures
of giftedness. Motivation, high self-concept, and creativity are they key qualities in many of
these broadened conceptions of giftedness.

Mental Retardation is a term for a pattern of persistently slow learning of basic motor and
language skills (“milestones”) during child hood, and a significantly below-normal global
intellectual capacity as an adult. One common criterion for diagnosis of mental retardation is
tested intelligence quotient (IQ) of 70 or below and deficits in adaptive functioning.

Autism is a brain development disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction and

communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior, all exhibited before the child is three
years old. These characteristics distinguish autism form milder spectrum disorder (ASD).
Autism affects many parts of the brain, how this occurs is poorly understood. Parents usually
notice signs in the first year or two of their child’s life, Early intervention may help children
gain self-care and social skills, although few of these interventions are supported by scientific
studies. There is no cure, with severe autism, independent living is unlikely; with milder
autism, there are some success stories for adults, and an autistic culture has developed, with
some seeking a cure and others believing that autism is a condition rather than a disorder.

Asperger’s Syndrome - (also Asperger’s Syndrome, Asperger’s disorder, Asperger’s AS, or

AD) is one of several autism spectrum disorders (ASD) characterized by difficulties in social
interaction and by restricted and stereotyped interests and activities. AS is distinguished for
other ASDs in having no general delay in language or cognitive development,
There is no single treatment for AS, and the effectiveness of particular interventions is
supported by only limited data. Intervention is aimed at improving symptoms and function.
The mainstay of treatment is behavioral therapy, focusing on specific deficits to address poor
communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and clumsiness. Most individuals with
AS can learn to cope with their differences, but may continue to need moral support
encouragement to maintain an independent life. Adults with AS have reached the highest
levels of achievement in fields such as mathematics,
 physics and computer science, Researchers and people with AS have contributed to a shift in
attitudes away from the notion that AS is a difference rather than a disability.

Down syndrome or Trisomy 21 (usually Down’s syndrome in British English) is a specific

disorder caused by the presence of all or part if an extra 21st chromosome. It is named after
John Longdon Down, the British doctor who described it in 1866. The condition is
characterized by a combination of major and minor differences in structure. Often Down
syndrome is associated with some impairment of cognitive ability and physical growth as well
as facial appearance. Down syndrome can be identifies during pregnancy or at birth.
Individuals with Down syndrome can have a lower than average cognitive ability, often
ranging from mild to moderate learning disabilities. Developmental disabilities often
manifests as tendency toward concrete thinking or naiveté. A small number have severe to
profound mental disability. The incidence of Down syndrome is estimated at 1 per 800 to 1,
00 births.

THEORIES OF SOCIO-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT | ERIKSON STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

Erik Homburger Erikson (1902-1994) was a German developmental psychologist and
psychoanalyst known for his theory on social development of human beings, and for coping
the phrase identity crisis.
 Each of Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development are marked by a conflict, for
which successful resolution will result in a favorable outcome, for example, trust vs.
mistrust, and by an important event that is conflict resolves itself around, for example,
meaning of one’s life.
 Favorable outcomes of each stage are sometimes known as “virtues”, a term used, in
the context of Erikson work, as it is applied to medicines, meaning” potencies “For
example, the virtue that would emerge from successful resolution. Oddly, and certainly
counter- intrusively, Erikson’s research reveals with breath-taking clarity how each
individual must learn how to hold both extremes of each specific life-stage challenge
in tension with one another not rejecting one end of the tension or the other.
 Only when both extremes in a life-stage challenge are understood and accepted as both
required and useful, can the optimal virtue for that stage surface. Thus, “trust” and
“mistrust” must both the understood and accepted, in order for realistic “hope” to
emerge as a viable solution at the first stage. Similarly, “integrity” and “despair” must
both be understood and embraced, in order for actionable wisdom to emerge as a
viable solution at the last stage.

The Erikson life stage virtues in order of the stages in which they may be acquired are:
1. Trust vs. mistrust. Is the world a safe place or is it full of unpredictable events and
accidents waiting to happen? Erikson’s first psychosocial crisis occurs during the first
year or so of life (like Freud’s oral stage of psychosexual development). The crisis is one
of trust vs. mistrust.

During this stage the infant is uncertain about the world in which they live. To resolve these
feelings of uncertainty the infant looks towards their primary caregiver for stability and
consistency of care.
If the care the infant receives is consistent, predictable and reliable, they will develop a sense
of trust which will carry with them to other relationships, and they will be able to feel secure
even when threatened.
Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of hope. By developing a sense of trust, the
infant can have hope that as new crises arise, there is a real possibility that other people
will be there are a source of support. Failing to acquire the virtue of hope will lead to the
development of fear.
For example, if the care has been harsh or inconsistent, unpredictable and unreliable, then the
infant will develop a sense of mistrust and will not have confidence in the world around them
or in their abilities to influence events.

This infant will carry the basic sense of mistrust with them to other relationships. It may result
in anxiety, heightened insecurities, and an over feeling of mistrust in the world around them.
Consistent with Erikson’s views on the importance of trust, research by Bowlby and
Ainsworth has outlined how the quality of the early experience of attachment can affect
relationships with others in later life.

2. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt. The child is developing physically and becoming
more mobile. Between the ages of 18 months and three, children begin to assert their
independence, by walking away from their mother, picking which toy to play with, and
making choices about what they like to wear, to eat, etc.
The child is discovering that he or she has many skills and abilities, such as putting on clothes
and shoes, playing with toys, etc. Such skills illustrate the child’s growing sense of
independence and autonomy. Erikson states it is critical that parents allow their children to
explore the limits of their abilities within an encouraging environment which is tolerant of
failure.

For example, rather than put on a child’s clothes a supportive parent should have the patience
to allow the child to try until they succeed or ask for assistance. So, the parents need to
encourage the child to becoming more independent whilst at the same time protecting the
child so that constant failure is avoided. A delicate balance is required from the parent. They
must try not to do everything for the child but if the child fails at a particular task they must
not criticize the child for failures and accidents (particularly when toilet training). The aim has
to be “self-control without a loss of self- esteem” (Gross, 1992). Success in this stage will lead
to the virtue of will.

If children in this stage are encouraged and supported in their increased independence, they
become more confident and secure in their own ability to survive in the world. If children are
criticized, overly controlled, or not given the opportunity to assert themselves, they begin to
feel inadequate in their ability to survive, and may then become overly dependent upon others,
lack self-esteem, and feel a sense of shame or doubt in their own abilities.

3. Initiative vs. Guilt. Around age three and continuing to age five, children assert
themselves more frequently. These are particularly lively, rapid-developing years in a
child’s life. According to Bee
(1992) it is a “time of vigor of action and of behaviors that the parents may see as aggressive”.
During this period the primary feature involves the child regularly interacting with other
children at school. Central to this stage is play, as it provides children with the opportunity to
explore their interpersonal skills through initiating activities.
Children begin to plan activities, make up games, and initiate activities with others. If given
this opportunity, children develop a sense of initiative, and feel secure in their ability to lead
others and make decisions. Conversely, if this tendency is squelched, either through criticism
or control, children develop a sense of guilt. They may feel like a nuisance to others and will
therefore remain followers, lacking in self-initiative.
The child takes initiatives which the parents will often try to stop in order to protect the child.
The child will often overstep the mark in his forcefulness and the danger is that the parents
will tend to punish the child and restrict his initiatives too much. It is at this stage that the
child will begin to ask many questions as his thirst for knowledge grows. If the parents treat
the child’s questions as trivial, a nuisance or embarrassing or other aspects of their behavior
as threatening then the child may have feelings of guilt for “being a nuisance”.

Too much guilt can make the child slow to interact with others and may inhibit their
creativity. Some guilt is, of course, necessary, otherwise the child would not know how to
exercise self-control or have a conscience. A healthy balance between initiative and guilt is
important. Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of purpose.

4. Industry (competence) vs. Inferiority. Industry versus inferiority is the fourth stage of Erik
Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development. The stage occurs during childhood between
the ages of five and twelve. Children are at the stage where they will be learning to read and
write, to do sums, to do things on their own. Teachers begin to take an important role in the
child’s life as they teach the child specific skills.

It is at this stage that the child’s peer group will gain greater significance and will become a
major source of the child’s self-esteem. The child now feels the need to win approval by
demonstrating specific competencies that are valued by society, and begin to develop a sense
of pride in their accomplishments. If children are encouraged and reinforced for their
initiative, they begin to feel industrious and feel confident in their ability to achieve goals. If
this initiative is not encouraged, if it is restricted by parents or teacher, then the child begins
to feel inferior, doubting his own abilities and therefore may not reach his or her potential.

If the child cannot develop the specific skill they feel society is demanding (e.g. being
athletic) then they may develop a sense of inferiority. Some failure may be necessary so that
the child can develop some modesty. Yet again, a balance between competence and modesty
is necessary. Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of competence.

5. Identity vs. Role Confusion. The fifth stage is identity vs. role confusion, and it occurs
during adolescence, from about 12-18 years. During this stage adolescents search for a
sense of self and personal identity, through an intense exploration of personal values,
beliefs and goals.
The adolescent mind is essentially a mind or moratorium, a psychosocial stage between
childhood and adulthood, and between the morality learned by the child, and the ethics to
be developed by the adult (Erikson p. 245)

During adolescence the transition from childhood to adulthood is most important. Children
are becoming more independent, and begin to look at the future in terms of career,
relationships, families, housing, etc. The individual wants to belong to a society and fit in.
This is a major stage in development where the child has to learn the roles he will occupy as
an adult. It is during this stage that the adolescent will re-examine his identity and try to find
out exactly who he or she is. Erikson suggests that two identities are involved: the sexual and
the occupational.
According to Bee (1992), what should happen at the end of this stage is “a reintegrated sense
of self, of what one wants to do or be, and of one’s appropriate sex role”. During this stage
the body image
of the adolescent changes. Erikson claims that the adolescent may feel uncomfortable about
their body for a while until they can adapt and “grow into” the changes. Success in this stage
will lead to the virtue of fidelity. Fidelity involves being able to commit one’s self to others on
the basis of accepting others, even when there may be ideological differences. During this
period, they explore possibilities and begin to form their own identity based upon the outcome
of their explorations.
Failure to establish a sense of identity within society (“I don’t know what I want to be when I
grow up”) can lead to role confusion. Role confusion involves the individual not being sure
about themselves or their place in society.
In response to role confusion or identity crisis an adolescent may begin to experiment with
different lifestyles (e.g. work, education or political activities). Also pressuring someone into
an identity can result in rebellion in the form of establishing a negative identity, and in
addition to this feeling of unhappiness.

6. Intimacy vs. Isolation. Occurring in young adulthood (ages 18 to 40 yrs), we begin

to share ourselves more intimately with others. We explore relationships leading
toward longer term commitments with someone other than a family member.

Successful completion of this stage can lead to comfortable relationships and a sense of
commitment, safety, and care within a relationship. Avoiding intimacy, fearing commitment
and relationships can lead to isolation, loneliness, and sometimes depression. Success in this
stage will lead to the virtue of love.

7. Generativity vs. Stagnation. During middle adulthood (ages 40 to 65 yrs), we establish

our careers, settle down within a relationship, begin our own families and develop a sense of
being a part of the bigger picture.

We give back to society through raising our children, being productive at work, and becoming
involved in community activities and organizations. By failing to achieve these objectives, we
become stagnant and feel unproductive. Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of care.

8. Ego Integrity vs. Despair. As we grow older (65+ yrs) and become senior citizens, we
tend to slow down our productivity, and explore life as a retired person. It is during this time
that we contemplate our accomplishments and are able to develop integrity if we see
ourselves as leading a successful life. Erik Erikson believed if we see our lives as
unproductive, feel guilt about our past, or feel that we did not accomplish our life goals, we
become dissatisfied with life and develop despair, often leading to depression and
hopelessness.
Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of wisdom. Wisdom enables a person to look back
on their life with a sense of closure and completeness, and also accept death without fear.

SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY

Social Cognitive Theory - Utilized both in Psychology and Communications posits that
portions of an individual’s knowledge acquisition can be directly related to observing others
within the context of social interactions, experiences, and outside media influences.
An important point in the social cognitive theory is that the learner’s behavior is guided by
cognitive processes rather than formed or shaped by reinforced practice. Four component parts
are responsible for the learning and performance acquisition. These are:

Attentional processes
• Observer characteristics are perceptual or cognitive capacities, arousal level and past
performance.
• Event characteristics are relevance, affective valence, complexity, functional value,
model’s characteristics and Intrinsic rewards.

Retention processes
• Observer characteristics are cognitive skills
• Event characteristics are cognitive organization and rehearsal

Motor reproduction process

• Observer characteristics are physical capabilities and sub skill mastery
• Event characteristics are selection and organization of responses with feedback

Motivational processes
• Observer characteristics are incentive preference, social bias and internal standards
• Event characteristics are external, self and vivacious reinforcement

Albert Bandura (Social Cognitive Theory)

 Bandura bases his theory on the acquisition of complex behaviors on a triangular
diagram illustrating the interactive effect of various factors. These three factors are
behavior (B), the environment (E), and the internal events that influence perceptions
and actions. (P). the relationship between these three factors is known as reciprocal
determinism.
 Bandura identified three types of reinforces of behavior. These were direct
reinforcement, vicarious reinforcement and self-reinforcement. Direct reinforcement
would be directly experienced by the learner. Vicarious reinforcement would be
observed to be consequences of the behavior of the model. Self-reinforcement would
be feelings of satisfaction or displeasure for behavior gauged by personal performance
standards.
 Bandura describes three types of modeling stimuli, which are live models, symbolic
models, and verbal descriptions or instructions. Of these three, in American society,
the greatest range of exposure is in the form of symbolic models through mass media.
 In Bandura’s later work he introduces two other aspects to his Social Learning Theory.
These are his work on the self-regulatory system and self-efficacy. In the area of self-
regulatory system/ self-evaluative behaviors he said that this system us based upon
cognitive sub processes that: PERCEIVE, EVALUATE and REGULATE
BEHAVIOR

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Emotional Intelligence (Goleman) - (EI), often measured as an Emotional Intelligence
Quotient (EQ), describes an ability, capacity, or skill to perceive, assess, and manage the
emotions of one’s self, of others, and of groups. As relatively new area of psychological
research, the definition of EI is constantly changing.
The El model introduced by Daniel Goleman focuses in EL as wide array of competencies
and skills that drive managerial performance, measured by multi-rater assessment and self-
assessment (Bradberry and Greaves, 2005). In working with Emotional Intelligence (1998)
Goleman explored the function of EI on the job, and claimed EI to be the largest single
predictor of success in the workplace, with more recent confirmation of these findings on a
worldwide sample seen in Bradberry and Greaves, “The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book”
(200%)

Goleman’s model outlines four main EI constructs:

 Self-awareness - the ability to read one’s emotions and recognize their impact while
using gut feelings to guide decisions.
 Self - management - involves controlling one’s emotions and impulses and adapting
to changing circumstances.
 Social awareness - the ability to sense, understand, and react to other’s emotions
while comprehending social networks.
 Relationships management - the ability to inspire, influence, and develop others
while managing conflict.

Goleman includes a set of emotional competencies within each construct of EI. Emotional
competencies are not innate talents, but rather learned capabilities that must be worked on and
developed to achieve outstanding performance. Goleman believes that individuals are born
with a general emotional intelligence that determines their potential for learning emotional
competencies.

MORAL DEVELOPMENT THEORY

Kohlberg’s stages of moral development are places of moral adequacy conceived by
Lawrence Kohlberg to explain the development of moral reasoning. Created while studying
psychology at the University of Chicago, the theory was inspired by the work if Jean Piaget
and a fascination with children’s reactions to moral dilemmas. He wrote his doctoral
dissertation at the university in 1958, outlining what are now known as his stages of moral
development.

Levels and Stages of Moral Development:

Level 1: Pre-conventional Morality – The first level of morality, pre-conventional
morality, can be further divided into two stages: obedience and punishment, and
individualism and exchange.
• Stage 1: Punishment- Obedience Orientation
• Related to Skinner’s Operational Conditioning, this stage includes the use of
punishment so that the person refrains from doing the action and continues to obey
the rules. For example, we follow the law because we do not want to go to jail.
• Stage 2: Instrumental Relativist Orientation
• In this stage, the person is said to judge the morality of an action based on how it
satisfies the individual needs of the doer. For instance, a person steals money from
another person because he needs that money to buy food for his hungry children. In
Kohlberg’s theory, the children tend to say that this action is morally right because of
the serious need of the doer.
Level 2: Conventional Morality - The second level of morality involves the stages 3 and 4 of
moral development. Conventional morality includes the society and societal roles in judging
the morality of an action.
• Stage 3: Good Boy-Nice Girl Orientation
• In this stage, a person judges an action based on the societal roles and social
expectations before him. This is also known as the “interpersonal relationships”
phase. For example, a child gives away her lunch to a street peasant because she
thinks doing so means being nice.
• Stage 4: Law and Order Orientation
• This stage includes respecting the authorities and following the rules, as well as
doing a person’s duty. The society is the main consideration of a person at this stage.
For instance, a policeman refuses the money offered to him under the table and
arrests the offender because he believes this is his duty as an officer of peace and
order.

Level 3: Post-conventional Morality

The post-conventional morality includes stage 5 and stage 6. This is mainly concerned with
the universal principles that relation to the action done.
• Stage 5 : Social Contract Orientation
• In this stage, the person is look at various opinions and values of different people
before coming up with the decision on the morality of the action.
• Stage 6 : Universal Ethical Principles Orientation
• The final stage of moral reasoning, this orientation is when a person considers
universally accepted ethical principles. The judgment may become innate and may
even violate the laws and rules as the person becomes attached to his own principles
of justice.

Carol Gilligan - her fame rests primarily on in a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and
Women’s Development (1982) in which she criticized Kohlberg’s research on the moral
development of used children. Which at the time showed that girls on average reached a lower
level of moral development than boys did. Giligan pointed out that the participants in
Kohlberg’s basic study were largely male, and that the scoring method Kohlberg used tended
to a favor a principled way of reasoning that was more common to boys, over a moral
argumentation concentrating on relations, which would be more amenable to girls. Kohlberg
saw reason to revise his scoring method as a result of Gilligan’s critique, after which boys and
girls scored evenly.

Her work formed the basis for what has become known as the ethics of care, a theory of ethics
that contrasts ethics of care to so-called ethics of justice.

The following are some major factors affecting the social and emotional development of
children and adolescents:
 Media - the main means of mass communication (broadcasting, publishing, and the
Internet), regarded collectively.
 Parenting - is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social,
and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. Parenting refers to
 the intricacies of raising a child aside from the biological relationship
 Role Models - is a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated
by others, especially by younger people.
 Peer groups - is a social group that consists of individuals of the same social status
who share similar interests and are close in age.
EXCEPTIONAL AREA DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Leadership - the ability of an individual to influence, motivate and enable others to contribute
toward the effectiveness and success of the organizations of which they are members.
Juvenile Delinquency- Juvenile delinquency may refer to either violent or non-violent crime
committed by persons who are (usually) under the age of eighteen and are still considered to
be a minor. There is much debate about whether or not such a child should be held criminally
responsible for his or her own actions. There are many different inside influences that are
believed to affect the way a child acts both negatively and positively, some of which are as
follows:
 Abandonment - is a subjective emotional state in which people feel undesired, left
behind, insecure, or discarded. People experiencing emotional abandonment may feel
at loss, cut off from a crucial source of sustenance that has been withdrawn, either
suddenly, or through a process of erosion.
 Social institutions - consists of a group of people who have come together for a
common purpose. These institutions are a part of the social order of society
and they govern behavior and expectations of individuals.
 Peer pressure is the direct influence on people by peers, or the effect on an
individual who gets encouraged to follow their peers by changing their attitudes,
values or behaviors to conform to those of the influencing group or individual

Affective and Mode Disorders - The mood or affective disorders are mental disorders that
primarily affect mood and interfere with the activities of daily living. Usually it includes
major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (also called Manic Depressive
Psychosis. They are set of psychiatric disorders, also called mood disorders. The main types
of affective disorders are depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorder. Symptoms
vary by individual and can range from mild to severe.

What is an affective personality disorder? Affective disorders may include manic

(elevated, expansive, or irritable mood with hyperactivity, pressured speech, and
inflated self-esteem) or depressive (dejected mood with disinterest in life, sleep
disturbance, agitation, and feelings of worthlessness or guilt) episodes, and often
combinations of the two.

What are some examples of mood disorders? Some examples of mood disorders include:
Major depressive disorder — prolonged and persistent periods of extreme sadness. Bipolar
disorder — also called manic depression or bipolar affective disorder, depression that
includes alternating times of depression and mania.

What are the different types of mood disorders?

 Major depression. Having less interest in usual activities, feeling sad or hopeless,
and other symptoms for at least 2 weeks may indicate depression.
 Dysthymia
 Bipolar disorder
 Mood disorder related to another health condition
 Substance-induced mood disorder.
What medications treat mood disorders? Antipsychotic medications used for
bipolar disorder include:
  Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
 Quetiapine (Seroquel)
 Risperidone (Risperdal)
 Ariprazole (Abilify)
 Ziprasidone (Geodon)
 Clozapine (Clozaril)

What is meant by social institutions? Each piece serves a different purpose to the overall
operation of the bike. In sociology, social institutions, such as economy and government, are
the 'bike parts' and the overall society is the 'bicycle.' Social institutions are established sets
of norms and subsystems that support each society's survival.

What are the five major social institutions? Five major institutions in rural
sociology are political, educational, economic, family and religion.

Political: Government as political institution, administers the regulatory functions of Law

and order, and maintains security in society.

What is the function of social institutions? Social institutions are a system of behavioral
and relationship patterns that are densely interwoven and enduring, and function across an
entire society. They order and structure the behavior of individuals by means of their
normative character.

Which one is the most important social institution? Family is very important in Germany
both from social and legal viewpoints. A family creates a stable and often unbreakable
relationship. For me family is the most important social institution in my life.

FACILITATING HUMAN LEARNING

Definition of learning - is the acquisition and development of memories and behaviors,
including skills, knowledge, understanding, values and wisdom. It is the goal of education,
and the product of experience. It is therefore a relatively permanent change in behavior.
Other Definitions:
1. A process inferred from relatively stable changes in behavior that result through
practice of interaction with and adaptation to the environment (Goodwin and
Klausmeier)
2. The development of new associations as a result of experience (Good and Grophy).
3. The modification of an organism’s behavior as a result of maturation and
environmental experience.

THEORIES OF LEARNING
A. Edward Thorndike’s Connectionism | Associationism Theory:

Human activity is based on association between stimulus and response.

a. Law of effect - The third law is the ‘Law of Effect’, according to which the trial or
steps leading to satisfaction stamps in the bond or connection. Satisfying states lead to
consolidation and strengthening of the connection, whereas dis-satisfaction, annoyance
or pain lead to the weakening or stamping out of the connection. In fact, the ‘law of
effect’ signifies that if the response satisfy the subject, they are learnt and selected,
while those
 which are not satisfying are eliminated. Teaching, therefore, must be pleasing. The
educator must obey the tastes and interests of his pupils. In other words, greater the
satisfaction stronger will be the motive to learn. Thus, intensity is an important
condition of ‘law of effect’.
b. Law of exercise - The second law of learning is the ‘Law of Exercise’, which means
that drill or practice helps in increasing efficiency and durability of learning and
according to Throndike’s S-R Bond Theory, the connections are strengthened with
trail or practice and the connections are weakened when trial or practice is
discontinued. The ‘law of exercise’, therefore, is also understood as the ‘law of use
and disuse’ in which case connections or bonds made in the brain cortex are weakened
or loosened. Many examples of this case are found in case of human learning.
Learning to drive a motor-car, typewriting, singing or memorizing a poem or a
mathematical table, and music etc. need exercise and repetition of various movements
and actions many times.
c. Law of readiness - First primary law of learning, according to him, is the ‘Law of
Readiness’ or the ‘Law of Action Tendency’, which means that learning takes place
when an action tendency is aroused through preparatory adjustment, set or attitude.
Readiness means a preparation of action. If one is not prepared to learn, learning
cannot be automatically instilled in him, for example, unless the typist, in order to
learn typing prepares himself to start, he would not make much progress in a lethargic
& unprepared manner.

B. Classical conditioning (Ivan Pavlov): It is based on ADHESIVE principle which means

that a response is attached to a stimulus through the stimulus occurring just prior to the
response so that the recurrence of the stimulus will evoke or cause the response. (Ex.
Dog’s salivation experiment)

C. Operant Conditioning (BF Skinner): Organism has to do something in order to get

reward that is, it must operate on its environment.
 Reinforcement: is any behavioral consequence that strengthens behavior. It
increases the likelihood of the recurrent of a particular type of response.
 Types of reinforcement:
- Positive Reinforcement: These reinforces increase frequency.
- Negative Reinforcement: Strengthens behavior by their removal.
- Primary Reinforcement: food, water, sleep
- Secondary Reinforcement: money, grades, starts, tokens etc.

D. Social Learning Theory (Albert Bandura) – plus emphasis on OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING.

E. Wolfgang Kohler’s Insight Theory - Gaining insight is a gradual processes of exploring

analyzing and restructuring perceptions until a solution is arrived at.

F. Gestalt Theoru (Kohlerm Wertheimer and Koffka) - The primary focus of this theory
is on PERCEPTION and how people assign meanings to visual stimuli, “The whole is
more than the sum of all its parts”

G. Kurt Lewin’s Topological and Vector Theory (Field Theory) - the behavior of an
individual at a given moment is the result of existing forces operating simultaneously in
his life space. (Internal and External forces).
H. Jerome Bruner’s Theory - Also known as Instrumental Conceptualism. Learning
involves 3 simultaneously processes: acquisition transformation and evaluation.
I. Information processing Theory - The theory describes the psychological events in terms
of transformations of information form input to output. It stresses the value of perception,
attention and memory in the learning process.

Types of Learning:
a. Cognitive Learning - is concerned with the development of ideas and concepts. This
explains why the brain is the most incredible network of information processing and
interpretation in the body as we learn things.
b. Affective Learning - Involves assimilation of values, emotional reactions and
acquisition of attitudes. These domains are cognitive (thinking), affective
(emotion/feeling), and psychomotor (physical/kinesthetic). Each domain on this page
has a taxonomy associated with it. Taxonomy is simply a word for a classification. All
of the taxonomies below are arranged so that they proceed from the simplest to more
complex levels.
c. Psychomotor Learning - understanding the external world through the senses and
muscles. The psychomotor domain deals with manual or physical skills. It is the
"doing" domain.

Analogical Process and Transfer of Learning - the Theory of Transfer of Learning was
introduced by Thorndike and Woodworth (1901). They explored how individuals would
transfer learning in one context to another context that shared similar characteristics. Their
theory implied that transfer of learning depends on the learning task and the transfer task
being identical, also known as “identical elements. There is a close relationships between
transfer of learning and problem solving a problem in a new situation.

connections
between contexts
High Road/Forward Abstracting situations from learning context to a
Reaching Potential transfer context
High Road/Backward Abstracting in the transfer context features of a
Reaching Previous situation where new skills and knowledge were learned

Metacognition - refers to thinking about cognition (memory, perception, calculation,

association, etc.) itself or to think/reason about one’s own thinking. It refers to “thinking about
thinking” and was
introduced as a concept in by John Flavell, who is typically seen as a founding scholar of the
field. Flavell said that metacognition is the knowledge you have of your own cognitive
processes (your thinking).Flavell (1979). It is your ability to control your thinking processes
through various strategies, such as organizing, monitoring, and adapting. Additionally, it is
your ability to reflect upon the tasks or processes you undertake and to select and utilize the
appropriate strategies necessary in your intercultural interactions.
 Metacognition involves two types of knowledge:
1) explicit | conscious | factual knowledge
2) implicit | unconsciousness knowledge.
 The efforts of metacognition are aimed at developing learner autonomy, independence
and self-regulated learners.

Motivational Factors in Learning

Reward and Reinforcement - a reward is that which follows an occurrence of a specific
behavior with the intention of acknowledging the behavior in a positive way. A reward
often has the intent of
encouraging the behavior to happen again.

There are two kinds of rewards, extrinsic and intrinsic rewards are external to, or outside of,
the individual; for example, praise or money. Intrinsic rewards are internal to or within, the
individual; for example, satisfaction or accomplishment.

Some authors distinguish between two forms of intrinsic motivation: on based on enjoyment,
the other on obligation. In this context, obligation refers to motivation bases on what an
individual thinks ought to be done. For, instance, a feeling of responsibility for a mission may
lead to helping others beyond what is easily observable, rewarded, or fun.

A reinforce is different from reward, in that reinforcement is intended to create a measured

increase in the rate of a desirable behavior following the addition of something to the
environment.

Intrinsic motivation is evident when people engage in an activity for its own sake, without
some obvious external incentive present. A hobby is a typical example. Intrinsic motivation
has been intensely studied by educational psychologists since the 1970s, and numerous studies
have found it to be associated with high educational achievement and enjoyment by the
students.

There is currently no “grand unified theory” to explain the origin or elements of intrinsic
motivation. Most explanations combine elements of Bernard Weiner’s attribution theory,
Bandura’s work on self- efficacy and other studies relating to locus of control and goal
orientation. Thus it is thought that students are more like to experience intrinsic motivation if
they:
 Attribute their educational results to internal factors that they can control (e.g. the
amount of effort they put in, not fixed ability).
 Believe they can be effective agents in reaching desired goals (e.g. the results are not
determined by dumb luck).
  Are motivated towards deep mastery of a topic, instead of just rote-learning
performance to get good grades.

In knowledge-sharing communities and organizations, people often cite altruistic reasons for
their participation, including contributing to a common good, a moral obligation to the group,
mentorship
or giving back”. This model if intrinsic motivation has emerged from three decades of
research by hundreds of educationalists and still evolving.

In work environments, money is typically viewed as an important goal (having food, clothes
etc.) may well be more powerful than the direct motivation provided by an enjoyable
workplace.
Learning styles vs. learning strategies.

Issues regarding learning style are somewhat related, i.e. students that willing and able to
think in more abstract terms and/or to critically examine what they do may show better
performance.
A learning style refers to the relationship between individuals and their ways of learning
whereas learning strategies refer to attitudes and behavior that is oriented towards goals. As an
example, one could compare/oppose.

THEORIES OF SITUATED LEARNING

Situated learning has antecedents in the work of Gibson (theory of affordances) and Vygotsky
(social learning). In addition, the theory of Schoenfield on mathematical problem solving
embodies some of the critical elements of situated learning framework. Situated learning is a
general theory of knowledge acquisition. It has been applied in the context of technology-
based learning activities for schools that focus in problem-solving skills.

Principles of Situated Learning:

1. Knowledge needs to be presented in an authentic context, i.e., setting and applications
that would normally involve that knowledge
2. Learning requires social interaction and collaboration.

Multiple Intelligences - the theory of multiple intelligence was developed in 1983 by Dr.
Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional
notion of intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and
adults.

The theory of multiple intelligences differentiates intelligence into specific 'modalities',

rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. Howard Gardner
proposed this model in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences.
According to the theory, an intelligence must fulfill eight criteria:

1. potential for brain isolation by brain damage,

2. place in evolutionary history,
3. presence of core operations,
4. susceptibility to encoding (symbolic expression),
5. a distinct developmental progression,
6. the existence of savants, prodigies and other exceptional people,
 7. support from experimental psychology, and
8. Support from psychometric findings.

Gardner proposed eight abilities that he held to meet these criteria:

Musical-rhythmic and harmonic: This area has to do with sensitivity to sounds, rhythms,
tones, and music. People with a high musical intelligence normally have good pitch and may
even have absolute
pitch, and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose music. They have sensitivity to
rhythm, pitch, meter, tone, melody or timbre.
Visual-spatial: This area deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the
mind's eye. Spatial ability is one of the three factors beneath g in the hierarchical model of
intelligence.
Verbal-linguistic: People with high verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with
words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and
memorizing words along with dates. Verbal ability is one of the most g-loaded abilities. This
type of intelligence is measured with the Verbal IQ in WAIS-IV.
Logical-mathematical: This area has to do with logic, abstractions, reasoning, numbers and
critical thinking. This also has to do with having the capacity to understand the underlying
principles of some kind of causal system. Logical reasoning is closely linked to fluid
intelligence and to general intelligence (g factor).
Bodily-kinesthetic - The core elements of the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence are control of
one's bodily motions and the capacity to handle objects skillfully.[8] Gardner elaborates to say
that this also includes a sense of timing, a clear sense of the goal of a physical action, along
with the ability to train responses.
People who have high bodily-kinesthetic intelligence should be generally good at physical
activities such as sports, dance, acting, and making things.
Gardner believes that careers that suit those with high bodily-kinesthetic intelligence
include: athletes, dancers, musicians, actors, builders, police officers, and soldiers.
Although these careers can be duplicated through virtual simulation, they will not produce
the actual physical learning that is needed in this intelligence.
Interpersonal: In theory, individuals who have high interpersonal intelligence are
characterized by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments, motivations, and
their ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group. According to Gardner in How
Are Kids Smart: Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom, "Inter- and Intra- personal
intelligence is often misunderstood with being extroverted or liking other people..."[12] Those
with high interpersonal intelligence communicate effectively and empathize easily with
others, and may be either leaders or followers.
They often enjoy discussion and debate." Gardner has equated this with emotional
intelligence of Goleman.
Gardner believes that careers that suit those with high interpersonal intelligence
include sales persons, politicians, managers, teachers, lecturers, counselors and social
workers.
Intrapersonal: This area has to do with introspective and self-reflective capacities. This
refers to having a deep understanding of the self; what one's strengths or weaknesses are, what
makes one unique, being able to predict one's own reactions or emotions.
Naturalistic: Not part of Gardner's original seven, naturalistic intelligence was proposed by
him in 1995. "If I were to rewrite Frames of Mind today, I would probably add an eighth
intelligence - the intelligence of the naturalist. It seems to me that the individual who is
readily able to recognize flora and fauna, to make other consequential distinctions in the
natural world, and to use this ability productively (in hunting, in farming, in biological
science) is exercising an important intelligence and one that is not adequately encompassed in
the current list. This area has to do with nurturing and relating information to one's natural
surroundings. Examples include classifying natural forms such as animal and plant species
and rocks and mountain types. This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as
hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles
as botanist or chef.
This sort of ecological receptiveness is deeply rooted in a "sensitive, ethical,
and holistic understanding" of the world and its complexities – including the role of
humanity within the greater ecosphere.
Existential: Gardner did not want to commit to a spiritual intelligence, but suggested that an
"existential" intelligence may be a useful construct, also proposed after the original 7 in his
1999 book. The hypothesis of an existential intelligence has been further explored by
educational researchers.
Additional intelligences: On January 13, 2016, Gardner mentioned in an interview with
BigThink that he is considering adding the teaching-pedagogical intelligence "which allows
us to be able to teach successfully to other people". In the same interview, he explicitly
refused some other suggested intelligences like humor, cooking and sexual intelligence.

Characterizing Students with Special Learning Needs

An exceptional child is one that is different in some way from “normal” to “average” child.
The term “exceptional child” includes those with special problems related to physical
disabilities, sensory
impairments, emotional disturbances, learning disabilities and mental retardation. Most exceptional
children require a lot of understanding and patience as well as special education and related
services if they are to reach their full potential development.

SOCIOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS OF EDUCATION

Sociologist offer different theoretical perspective that are anchored on the concept that school
is an open system to explain the relationship between the school and the society. The diverse
sociological explanations enable educators to understand how the school, as a social
institution of society, interacts with social environment as they perform their important role in
their unique way either as agents of cultural and social transmission or as agents of social
transformation.

The Nature of Education

Sociology provides educators as special perspective in studying the school and society.
Schools, by their nature are social organizations. Because of the nature of education, the study
of school systems
becomes the concern of sociologists. Sociologist study the social issues and concerns in education
which impact on socialization.

The Role of Schools

Dr. Adelaida Bago, in her book Social Dimensions in the Philippine Education, stresses there
are two possible purpose or roles of schools:
1. There are those who believe that one role of the school is to educate citizens to fit into
society
2. There are those who believe that the role of the school is to educate citizens to change
the society

The Specific purposes of the school are the following:

a. Cognitive Purposes- teaching the basic cognitive skills such as reading, writing and speaking.
b. Political Purposes- inculcation of patriotism or loyalty to the existing political order.
c. Social Purposes- concerns with the socialization of citizens into their various roles in society.
d. Economic Purposes- involves training and preparation of citizens for the world of work.

School as Open System

School are open systems that draw their inputs and send back their outputs to the environment.
An open system, like a living organism, has a homeostatic nature. Homeostasis is the
property of open
system to regulate its internal environment to maintain stable constant condition. This is done
through internal regulation mechanisms of inter-related and interaction parts that counteract
any departure from the normal or usual.

THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE OF EDUCATION

To provide logical explanations for why things happen the way they do in group situations,
sociologists make use of theoretical perspective. These theories also become the basis for
analyzing curriculum, instruction and structure in the school organization. The functionalist
and Conflict Theories focus macro-level sociological analysis, while the interaction theory
focuses on the micro level analysis.

1. The Functionalist Theory - (other known as equilibrium theory). The key terms in of
society. Social equilibrium is achieved through the process of socialization of
members into the basic values norms of particular group so that consensus is reached.
The different parts or members of the society are interdependent grouped and
organized to form a system.
a. Talcot Parsons - conceptualized society as a collection of systems within systems
(McLeland, 2000)
b. Emile Durkheim - believed that education plays a significant roles in creating,
moral unity, which is an imperative in social cohesion and harmony, Durkheim
defined education and the concerns of sociology as follows: “ Education is the
influence exercised by adult generations on those that are not yet ready for social
life, its object is to arouse and to develop in the child a certain number of physical,
intellectual and moral states which are demanded of him by both the political
society as a whole and special milieu for which he is specifically destined..
2. Conflict Theory - assumes a tension in society and its part due to competing interest of
individuals and groups. Adherents of the theory argue that what holds society together
is economic, political, cultural, military power and note shared values alone. The
social order is based on the stability of dominant groups to impose their will on others
who are powerless. The Conflict theory is based on four interlocking concepts:
competition, structural inequality, revolution and war.
 a. Karl Marx - the founder of the conflict school of thought believed that because the
class system separates the employers from workers and workers from the benefits
of their own labor, class struggle is inevitable. According to him inevitably the
workers would overthrow the capitalists and establish a new society where the
proletariat could freely avail of the benefits of their labor.
b. Max Weber - the father of bureaucratic thought was convinced that although
power relations between dominant and powerless group shape society, class
differences alone could not fully explain the complex way human beings from
hierarchies and belief systems and make them work. Weber examined status
cultures as well as class positions. According to him, the main activity of schools
is to teach particular “status cultures” both in and outside the classroom
3. Interaction Theories - the focus of the interaction theory is the communication and the
relationship that exists among and between groups in education- peers, teachers,
students, teacher-principal and teacher- parents. The concern is to study the social-
psychological questions that impact on normative attitudes, values, aspirations and self
–concepts of particular groups that in return impact on the teaching- learning process.
a. Labeling Theory - this theory is related to expectations. For instance, in general
the expectations of significant others on the learners, determine to a large extent in
the behavior of students. To this extent, the processes by which students are
labeled either as gifted or learning disabled, fast or slow learner, smart or dumb,
affect the quality as well as the extent and speed of learning.
b. Exchange Theory - is based on the concept of reciprocity or ”katugunan”.
Reciprocal interactions bind individuals (teachers, students, parents,
administrators) with obligations. The consequences of interaction are rewards and
benefits.

CULTURE, SOCIETY AND INTERACTION IN THE PHILIPPINE SETTING

Jocano (1998) proposed a social framework that could be used as basis for understanding the
relationships and interaction between and among groups in the Philippine education setting.
The Framework shows the interlocking and interfacing of relationships of kinship and family,
socialization practices and cultural themes that impact on the school system.
 Culture - is the complex whole which includes the customs, beliefs, more, folkways of
a certain group of people.
 Education is transferring of culture
 Sub-Culture - specialized from culture practiced by a small group of people which
shows uniqueness compared to other groups.
 Norm - what is considered” normal” is basically based on the number of people
practicing a certain behavior.

Kinds of Groups
A group can be defined as a unit in which different personalities with different
interdependence roles and status interacts. There are different kinds of groups; these are the
Primary, the Secondary, the
In-Group, the Out-Group, the Peer Group, the Reference Group and the Voluntary Associations.
a. The Primary Group is a group by which there is an intimate, there is face to face,
there is informal as well as personal relationship among the members such as the
 “family”
b. The Secondary Group is a group by which there is an impersonal, there is an
informal, and there is a contractual, business-like as well as casual relationship
among the members such as the “religion” or “school”.
 c. The In-Group is a group by which the member feels to have been given a
sense of belongingness.
d. The Out-Group is a group by which an individual feels some
indifferences, dislike, strangeness, antagonism or hatred.
e. The Peer Group is a group by which the members are almost in the same age as well
as social and economic status. The Peer Group comes in different types; the Play-
Group, the Gang and the Clique.
f. The Play-Group is common among the children; there could be a minimum or
no adult supervision in this group; it is also spontaneous and informal.
g. The Gang is a group by which there is a recognized leader. The members are expected
to follow their rules of behaviors; they have a definite place to stay, meeting time and
they have planned activities. Sometimes, they even have a password.
h. The Clique is a group by which the members have the same line of thinking as
well as interest.
i. The Reference Group is a group by which an individual or a member identifies him
or herself consciously or unconsciously. This kind of group is more likely on
identification and not really on the actual membership.
j. The Voluntary Association is a group by which the members tend to join together
because of their common needs, decisions, aims or goal.

Types of Groups:
a. Integrated group - the members have common action in shared meanings and values
b. Crowed- members act together on the basis of a shared emotion and feelings, as in
religious revival meetings, revolutionary mob or a panic.
c. Audience or mass - members act together on the basis of a common attitudes without
interaction among members; like people at film showing.
d. Public - this refers a number of people in some form of community come to a common
agreement who have common interest but do not necessarily come to a common
agreement.

Social Institution: According to Anthony Giddens, Social Institutions are” enduring features
of social life”. It is a complex of positions, norms and social relations performing a social role.
Social institutions includes government, families, and other groups of people with
recognizable social interaction and norms of conduct.

Characteristics:
1. Social Purpose-institution satisfy social needs
2. Permanence-institution are relatively permanent
3. Enforcing rules and regulations- institution governs behavior
4. Promotes values- institution exerts social pressure regarding right conduct

Major Social Institutions

1. Family – is a group of people affiliated by consanguinity, affinity and co-residence. It
is the smallest social institution. One of the primary function of the family is to
produce and reproduce persons both biologically and socially (in cases of adoption).
a. Conjugal Family-includes the husband, wife, and children who are not of age yet.
b. Consanguinity Family- consist of a parent and his or her children, and other people.
 c. Matrilocal Family- consists of a mother and her children

2. Education is the transmission of knowledge is the primary purpose of education. As a

social institution school has the following purpose.
1. Intellectual - schools teach basic knowledge and skills commonly known as the 3

PILLARS OF EDUCATION
PILLARS OF LEARNING: The Four Pillars of Education all started with the report
entitled” Learning the Treasure within” of the International Commission of Education for the
Twenty-first –Century chaired by Jacques Delors in 1996. It was published by the UNESCO.

A. LEARNING TO KNOW
- Implies learning how to learn by developing one’s concentration, memory skills and
ability to think; acquiring the instrument of understanding.
- To learn to know, students need to develop learn-to-learn-skills. Such skills are
learning to read with comprehension, listening, observing, asking question, data
gathering, note taking and accessing, processing, selecting and using information
- The role of the teacher is as facilitator, catalyst, monitor and evaluator of learning.
B. LEARNING TO DO
 - Represents the skillful, creative and discerning application of knowledge
- One must learn how to think creatively, critically and holistically, and how to deeply
understand the information that is presented.
- To perform a job or work, the learning to do must be fulfilled. This entails the
acquisition of competence that enables people to deal with a variety of situations,
and to work in teams.

C. LEARNING TO LIVE TOGETHER

- Vital in building a genuine and lasting culture of peace in the world.
- Can be achieved by developing in understanding of others and their history, traditions
and spiritual values, and appreciation of interdependence.
- A wide range of skills is necessary for the pillar of education; self-control, handling
emotions, communication, interpretation of behaviors, critical thinking, relationship

their gradually enlarging world: home, school, community, city, town, province,
country, and the world as a global village.

D. LEARNING TO BE
- Dominant theme of Edgar Faure is report” Learning to Be: The World of Education

let us promote gender equality and development between boys and girls in primary school. It
is the 3rd UN Millennium Goal which aims to eliminate gender disparity in primary and
secondary education, preferably by 2005, and all levels of education no later than 2015. Let us
step up to empower women in access to education, work and involvement in decision
making.” Gender and development or GAD is an approach on socially constructed basis of
the difference between men and women and emphasized the need to challenge the existing
gender roles and relations.

Sex vs. Gender

SE GEND
X ER

TEACHING IN MULTI-CULTURAL CLASSES

A Multicultural Classroom is one in which both the students and the teacher are accepting of
all races, cultures, and religions. This acceptance is evidenced by the books that are read, the
activities that are completed, and the lessons that are taught.

 Multicultural education embodies a perspective rather than a curriculum. Teachers

must consider children’s cultural identities and be aware of their own biases
 Teachers and parents need to acknowledge the fact that we are inevitably influenced
by the stereotypes and one-sided view of society that exists in our schools and the
media. Hence, we must we recognized those biases and change the attitude they
represent by accepting all children as we receive them.
 OPPRESSION- (racism or biased attitudes) a problem in multi-cultural classes vs.
OPPENESS- developing as much effort to changing to learn about other’s culture,
nurturing diversity by making multicultural education a process of action.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS OF EDUCATION

Learning is not a function of the mind alone but of the total person which is the overreaching
principle of holistic education, that is, to provide learning opportunities for the development
of the physical, intellectual, psychomotor, character and social development of human beings.

Definition of Holistic Education - The concept of holistic education, based on a

spiritual/philosophical orientation’s encapsulated in the Primer for 2002 Basic Education
Curriculum: “The Department of Education envisions every learner to be functionally
literate, equipped with life skills, appreciative of the arts and sports, and imbued with the
desirable values of a person who is makabayan (patriotic), makatao (mindful of humanity),
makakalikasan ( respectful of nature) and maka-diyos (godly).

Purpose of Holistic Education - The purpose of holistic education is to prepare students to

meet the challenges of living as well as schooling. To ensure holistic education, it is important
for young people to learn a variety of human concerns which include knowing and
understanding about the following: (Holistic Education, 2003)
1. Themselves
2. Healthy relationships with others
3. Social development
4. Resilience
5. Beauty, truth and transcendental experience

Cognitive Development: Cognition represents the manner by which a human being acquires,
stores, processes and uses information about the internal and external environment.

Three famous cognitive psychologists:

1. Jean Piaget - considered the development of the intellect according in four sequential
stages that form a continuum of mental processes which increasingly become more
sophisticated as the individual grows and develops.
2. Jerome Bruner - like Piaget. Bruner considered intellectual development as taking
place in stages, from the simple to the complex. According to Bruner, human beings
represent in their minds the world around them based on the cognitive level they are in
at a particular point in time, however, unlike Piaget, Bruner did not consider cognitive
levels as age-bound.
3. Lev Vygotsky - on the other hand, he focused on the important role of language and
social interaction in cognitive development. To Vygotsky, it is necessary to
understand the interrelations between thought and language, in order to understand
intellectual development.
Social emotional development, like cognitive development is the product of interaction
between the biological and environmental factors. The social dimension refers to the
interaction with others, while the emotional refers to feelings about oneself.
Eric Erikson is known for “identity crisis”. He formulated a theory of social-emotional
development based on his extensive experience in psychotherapy and dealings with children
and adolescents from all social class levels. He proposed that socialization consists of “the
eight stages of man” each stage involves a “psycho- social crisis”.

Lawrence Kohlberg, proposed six stages of moral development. The first three of which
share many features with the stages in the Piagetian model. He believes that moral
development tales place through a series of six under three levels of development.

Krathwohl, Bloom and Masia (1956) developed a taxonomy of objectives in the affective
domain. Affective phenomena run through from simple behaviors to increasing more complex
ones that require organization and characterization or internalization.

TAXONOMY OF THE PSYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN

Holistic education not only involves the development of the cognitive and affective domains.
It also involves the development of the psychomotor domains which pertain to physical
movement, perceptual abilities and non-verbal communication. Harrow, A.J. developed a
taxonomy of objectives for psychomotor with six categories:
1. Reflex Movements - this includes segmental reflexes.
2. Fundamental Movements - this include walking, running, jumping and etc.
3. Perceptual Abilities - this include kinesthetic, visual, auditory, tactile and coordination.
4. Physical Abilities - involve endurance, strength, flexibility, agility, and dexterity.
5. Skilled Movements - these are the movements necessary in games, sports, dances and
the arts.
6. Non-Discursive Communications - these relate to expressive movements through
posture, gestures, facial expressions and creative movement.

HISTORICAL DIMENSION OF EDUCATION

Education is as old as life itself. No one can present an accurate account concerning the
origin of education. There are 2 opposing school of thoughts when it comes to origin of
education.
1. Evolutionist – education started form primitive people. Some of these evolutionists
do not believe in any type of god. Others believe in one or more gods who are not
involved in the process.

ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY
The first Philosophy in order is the so-called Oriental, which, however, does not enter into
the substance or range of our subject as represented here. Its position is preliminary, and we
only deal with it at all in order to account for not treating of it at greater length, and to show in
what relation it stands to Thought and to true Philosophy. The expression Eastern philosophy
is specially employed in reference to the period in which this great universal Oriental
conception aroused the East — the land of circumscription and of limitation, where the spirit
of subjectivity reigns. More particularly in the first centuries of Christendom — that
significant period — did these great Oriental ideas penetrate into Italy; and in the Gnostic
philosophy they began to force the idea of the illimitable into the Western mind, until in the
Church the latter again succeeded in obtaining the ascendency and hence in firmly
establishing the Divine. That which we call Eastern Philosophy is more properly the religious
mode of thought and the conception of the world belonging generally to the Orientals and
approximates very closely to Philosophy; and to consider the Oriental idea of religion just as
if it were religious philosophy, is to give the main reason why it is so like.
CONFUCIANISM
  Had its beginning in the teachings of Confucius but the following sages took the lead
in building its formulation? Mencius and Hzun-Tzu.
 Confucius is the Latinized name for Kung-Fu-Tzu-Fu-Tzu. Tze which means master,
is a polite suffix added to the names of most of the philosophers during the Chou
Dynasty.
 Confucius was the founder of the Ju School which was known in the west as the
Confucian School.
 The Ju or Confucian School emphasized matters concerning human-heartedness and
righteousness and the six liberal arts commonly translated as Liu Yi or the Six Classics
namely:
 Yi Ching or the Book of Changes
 Shi-Ching or the Book of Odes
 Shu-Ching or the Book of History
 Li-chi or the Rituals and Rites
 Chu’unCh’iu or the Book of Spring and Autumn Annals
 The primary goal of Confucius was not just to make his” disciples” to ne well versed
of the Classics but to be “rounded men”, useful to the state and the society. Thus, he
taught them various branches of knowledge (ancient cultural history, interpretations

TEACHING PROFESSION: THE TEACHER AND THE SOCIETY

Philosophical Background: Teachers are heirs to a rich philosophical heritage. Passed on to us
are a number of philosophies of various thinkers who believed before us. These thinkers
reflected on life in this planet. They occupied themselves by searching for answers to
questions about human existence.

Five Main Philosophies of Education

1. Essentialism: Main proponent-William Bagley
2. Progressivism: “Education is nor preparation for life” Main proponent-John Dewey
3. Perennialism: Main proponent- Robert Hutchins
4. Existentialism: Existence precede essence” Main proponent- Jean Paul Sarte
5. Behaviorism: Main proponent-John Watson

Man by nature is curious. He wants to know the “whatness, whyness, and howness” of the
things around him. It is in the exploring of things that he finds fulfillment for the numerous
complexities that confront him. The eagerness to look for more answers or find solution to
manifolds problems that beset him leads him to the unending journey of seeking for truth.
Truly, this manifests the true desire of man which is to know. It affirms not only his essence,
his rationality. It is also a fulfillment of his purpose to keep the truth and pass it from one
generation to another so as to preserve humanity. Ideas flow from the human mind eternally.
It is in the ideas that the truth lies. Unending as the ideas are, the more the need for a man to
harness and cultivates it to perfection. Ideas that are not nourished and protected will not just
prevent man in possessing the truth but it will also deprive him a taste of his rationality. Hence
, ideas must and should be at all times shine in luster of naturalness, profound by simplicity
and contain true and real meaning.

The truth in the ideas must be preserved in as much as man wants to preserve the gift of
knowledge and wisdom that it brings. And delicate as it is, it should be protected from all
forms of deterioration and artificialities. Presented it maybe in various ways, the real meaning
must be conveyed at all
times. It is philosophizing that the ideas can be best presented and conveyed. This can be best
enhanced through proper education. Since then philosophy and education complement and
work hand-in-hand in the acquisition of knowledge and the preservation of Truth. True
enough, one can say then that Philosophy is knowledge and Education is the most essential
tool of philosophy in the search for wisdom and truth.

Man and Philosophy: The ultimate aim of man is to possess for the Truth. The process ends
not in the search but in the possession of the truth. It is in his capacity to think, to rationalize
that the responsibility of philosophizing is realized. It is but proper then to have a closer look
on the man and a glimpse of what philosophy is, so that we can fully understand the meaning
of our search for the truth and the desire to possess it.

Definition of Man: The quest for the truth is the ultimate goal of man. There is no way but
up, the goal is to achieve it. Thus, man is defined vertically as Rational Animal.

Innate in man is the desire to be with his fellow beings. It is in his relationship with others
that fulfillment of another dimension of his rationality is achieved. Time and time, it has been
proven that man cannot live by himself alone. The need to share himself with others-share his
innermost thoughts, feelings, experiences and unravel the kind of person he is-is a must fully
realize the aspect of being political animal. Hence, the aim to develop a relationship not only
with him spreads to other beings. Here he develops friendship, camaraderie, companionship
with other fellow beings. He grows and finds fulfillment with them. This, man is defined
horizontally as a SOCIAL or POLITICAL ANIMAL.

Being rational and social or political animal are not enough to realize the value of man.
Another aspect must also be present, functionality. Man is created for a certain reason or
purpose. He has a role to perform in order to preserve him and all other beings. He is the
steward of the world. In this regard, man should work. Hence man is defines as a Working
Animal.

Relationship of Philosophy and Education: While philosophy establishes the fundamental

principles (concepts, theories, learning). It is Education that carries out these principle.
Furthermore, it is Philosophy that provides the goal or aims while Education is the instrument
in realizing these goals.
Philosophy and Education complement each other. Both of them spouse theory and practice.
The absence of one of the one will make a man insufficient and aimless.

MAX SCHELER AND HIS HIERARCHY OF VALUES

Max Scheler (1874–1928) was an early 20th-century German Continental philosopher in the
phenomenological tradition. Scheler's style of phenomenology has been described by some
scholars as “applied phenomenology”: an appeal to facts or “things in themselves” as always
furnishing a descriptive basis for speculative philosophical concepts. One key source of just
such a pattern of facts is expressed in Scheler’s descriptive mapping of human emotional life
(the “Stratification of Emotional Life”) as articulated in his seminal 1913–1916 work,
Formalism in Ethics and Non-Formal Ethics of Values
First, Scheler seems to be making a case in favor of what we might refer to today as
Emotional Intelligence, as a portal to more ethical behavior and optimum personal
development, similar to the ancient Greek concern for promoting virtuous character.However
quite unlike many of our modern attitudes and prejudices, emotional life ought not be viewed
as simply a chaotic impediment to reason, but rather should be understood as a sort of “sixth
sense” having an informative objective core: what Scheler termed our Ordo Amoris (or “Logic
of the Heart”).
Second, for Scheler values have true primacy as real inherent qualities discovered in things,
people, situations and the like. Values and immanent emotive experience are co-extensive:
“the plain fact is that we act vis-à-vis values just as we do vis-à-vis colors and sounds.
Scheler's claim is that the correlates of feelings and emotions are values, just as the
correlates of visual perception are colors and audio perceptions are sounds. If such
qualities are present in a person's world, they tend to be apprehended. But the reverse is also
true: the meanings ascribed to things, people, situations and the like are uniquely co-extensive
with the subjective relativity of every person, as the "totality of acts of different kinds having
a unique qualitative direction and destiny.As a value being and bearer of values every person
is as unique as a snowflake. This is why Scheler's ethics is commonly referred as a Material
Value-Ethics as opposed to a formal ethics (Immanuel Kant).
Third, values are emotively intuited. The whole of "something" is intuited by consciousness
before any of the parts can fully be rationally known or assimilated. Common expressions
such as "ah ha", "love at first sight," déjà vu or "the cat's pajamas" sum up this basic idea.
Values are realized though personal apprehensions (i.e. "attractions" and "repulsions") of
positive (and negative) qualities discoverable through our own pre-thought, pre-willed acts of
preference.
Fourth, depth of emotion signals importance (intensity) of value, just as absence of feeling
signals the lack. This depth structure found in emotive life correlates reciprocally to Scheler’s
formulation of an upward vertical apriori hierarchy of values as forming the basis of an
intuitive ethics inspired by love, emanating ultimately from the Divine.
Max Scheler’s Hierarchy of Values:
 Pleasure Values - describes the broad class of mental states that humans and other
animals experience as positive, enjoyable, or worth seeking. It includes more specific
mental states such as happiness, entertainment, enjoyment, ecstasy, and euphoria.
 Vital Values - Contemporary mass culture is such that it now demands that one takes
care of their body. The cult of the body has dominated our actions to such an extent
that, oftentimes, the value of a person is perceived in terms of his or her physical
perfection.
 Spiritual Values - Objectivists mean by "spiritual values" those values that fulfill the
needs of human consciousness. The word "spirit" indeed refers in general usage to the
 human spirit or soul The words "spirit" and "spiritual" refer to real aspects of
human experience, namely
the mental aspects of human life.
 Values of the Holy - Objects of experience are bearers of values. Historical artifacts
bear cultural values, religious icons bear the value of the “holy.

TEACHER AS GLOBAL
DEFINITION OF GLOBAL EDUCATION: Study of Nations and People, that it is “an
effort to help individuals to see the world as a single and global system and to see themselves
as participants of that system.” Similarly, James Becker Says in his article, Goals of Global
Education that the overall goal of his aspect is to, “incorporate into the educational curriculum
and the educational experience of each student a knowledge and empathy of cultures of the
nation and the world (and to) draw into existing courses of study the illustrations and
references to political, social and cultural themes. Students will be encourage to take a global
perspective, seeing the world as a whole.” With this in mind, teaching with the adoption of the
ideology of global education, children learn to perceive themselves as a participant of a large
global culture. Children learn of various cultures and cultural perspective which makes them
better able to relate and function in a one-world environment under teachers who are
intellectually, professionally and humanly prepares.

UNESCO defines global education as “a goal to become aware of the educational conditions
or lack of it, and aim to educate all people to certain world standards. It may also be defined
“curriculum that is international in scope”.

Multicultural education enables teachers and educators to give value to the difference in
prior knowledge, experiences of learners from diverse background and familiarity with
student’s histories of diverse cultures

THE TEACHER, SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS

Schools and community are linked together to provide support to parents who are charged
with the primordial responsibility to educate their children. Schools will not succeed without
the participation of parents. (NCBTD-Based In-Service Teacher Training Modules. The
members of the community, in addition to the parents and the school, include the local
government units, the non-government agencies civic organizations and all the residents

PARENTAL INVLOVEMENT: The influence of parental involvement on a student’s

academic success should not be underestimated. While brain power, work ethic, and even
genetics all play important roles in student achievement, the determining factor comes down
to what kind of support system she has at home.

School and Community Relations: The school and the community are the mainsprings of
effective and powerful forces that can create a wholesome climate for mutual gains and
betterment
 PTCA
 Public safety, beautification and cleanliness
 Instructional centers in the community

Linkages and Networking with Organizations: The school can enjoy linkages and
networking activities with international, national and local organizations in the community for
mutual benefits and assistance needed
 International (Pi Lamda Theta, Innotech, World Council for Curriculum Instruction)
 National and local ( cross enrollment, joint researches)
 Networking (consortia, BIOTA, MATHED, MTAP, SUCTEA, NOPTI, FAAP,
PACU-COA, PAASCU, AACUP NOTED etc.)

NATIONAL COMPETENCY BASED TEACHER STANDARDS (NCBTS)

 A unified framework for teacher development
 An integrated theoretical framework that defines the different dimensions of effective
teaching
 Effective teaching means being able to help all types of students learn the different
learning goals in the curriculum.
 It is based on the core values of Filipino teachers and on effective teaching and learning
 It is based on the seven domains, which one representing the desired features of the
teaching and learning process.

What is NCBTS? The NCBTS is an integrated theoretical framework that

defines the different dimensions of effective teaching, where effective
teaching means being able to help all types of students learn the different
learning goals in the curriculum.
What does competency-based mean? Means that the standards or criteria for
characterizing good teaching are defined in terms of the teacher’s credential, LET
scores, grades in graduate school, degrees, personality traits, and so on, we look at
what the teacher can do competently.

A technical working group was set up to study what types of classroom

learning experiences were defined.

These practices were then organized and presented in a series of national, zonal, and
sectorial consultations for validation and finalization

The bulk of participants were teachers, master teachers, principals,

superintendents, TEI’s, CHED,PRC,CSC, BEAM,NGO'

Why do we need the NCBTS?

 The NCBTS provides a single framework that shall define
teaching in all aspects of a teacher’s professional life and in all
phases of teacher development.
 The use of a single framework should minimize confusion
about what effective teaching is.
 The single framework should also provide a better guide for all teacher
development programs and projects from the school-level up to the
national level.

ETHICS GENERALIZATION
What is the definition of professional ethics? Professional ethics is defined as the
personal and corporate rules that govern behavior within the context of a particular
profession. An example
of professional ethics is the American Bar Association's set of ethical rules that govern an
attorney's moral obligations.

What is the code of ethics? A code of ethics document may outline the mission and values
of the business or organization, how professionals are supposed to approach problems, the
ethical principles based on the organization's core values and the standards to which the
professional is held.

Why is there code of ethics? A well-written code of conduct clarifies an organization's

mission, values and principles, linking them with standards of professional conduct. It can
also serve as a valuable reference, helping employees locate relevant documents, services and
other resources related to ethics within the organization.
What is the importance of professional ethics? Good Ethics is a fundamental
requirement of any profession. It is integral to the success of the business as well. Ethics is
a system of moral principles governing the appropriate conduct of a person or a group.
Maintaining good ethics is being consistent with the principles of correct moral conduct
constantly.

What is the purpose of having a code of ethics? The word "ethics" comes from a Greek
term meaning "duty". Thus, a code of ethics consists of all the obligations that professionals
must respect when carrying out their duties. It includes the core values of the profession and
the behaviour which should be adopted; it's a code of professional conduct.

What is the difference between a code of ethics and a code of conduct? The terms “Code
of Ethics” and “Code of Conduct” are often mistakenly used interchangeably. They are, in
fact, two unique documents. Codes of ethics, which govern decision-making, and codes of
conduct, which govern actions, represent two common ways that companies self-regulate.

What are the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers? 2. Preamble Teachers are duly
licensed professionals who possesses dignity and reputation with high moral values as well
as technical and professional competence in the practice of their noble profession, and
they strictly adhere to, observe, and practice this set of ethical and moral principles,
standards, and values.

Why is it important to have a code of ethics for teachers? The code of ethics for
teachers is designed to protect the rights of the students, all the students. It is
important
that teachers understand that when they get a teaching position they are agreeing to follow
the code of ethics You can't push your personal beliefs on students because they are a
"captive audience".

What are the ethics in teaching? Despite their contrasting lenses on moral development,
when applied to the teaching profession, these two ethical perspectives complement each
other. Teachers should be motivated by a universal respect for human life and also be guided
by principles of caring.

What are the professional ethics of a teacher? As role models, teachers must follow a
professional code of ethics. This ensures that students receive a fair, honest and
uncompromising
education. A professional code of ethics outlines teachers' main responsibilities to their
students and defines their role in students' lives.

  Working with other teachers during occasional school events
 Preparing new teaching devices
 Advanced request for supplies and materials for the week’s lessons and for learning centers
 Supervising students along the corridors and school grounds or while eating in the canteen

Filler or Emergency Activities: If you will be able to finish the lesson ahead of time, be
ready with “fillers” or activities which are connected with the lesson

Tips for maintaining good time management

– Schedule all activities with corresponding time allotment ahead of time
– Provide enough time for everything you expected to happen
– Avoid rushing since you know have carefully allotted required time for every activity
– Be flexible with assignment
– Set the example by showing that you are time-conscious

Record keeping
– Daily attendance
– Students’ Progress

Physical Environment
– Maintaining cleanliness
– Using proper ventilation
– Avoiding unnecessary noise
– Bulletin boards and displays
– Seating arrangements

Discipline: Causes of discipline problems

– Overcrowded students in class
– Poor lighting facilities
– Inadequate ventilation
– Disorderly cabinets
– Inappropriate seating arrangement
– Near sources of noise

Prevention
– Cooperative learning, team learning, peer tutoring
– Switch form one technique to another as needed arises
– Patience, compassion, caring attitude, respect for others
– Warm, respectable relationship with students
– Unpretentious gestures
– Proper facial expression
– Kind words or praises
– Avoiding unusual closeness/favoritism and biased treatment

Common ways of establishing discipline/classroom control

– Discipline is students responsibility
 – Discipline is the teacher’s way of establishing a desirable student-oriented
environment for learning
– Discipline is coupled with effective teaching strategies and techniques
– Discipline is achieved through the effects of group dynamics on behavior

Tips to make the teacher a good disciplinarian

– Be prepared to face a class with multi-behavior tendencies
– Know your students well
– Show your sincere concern for their welfare
– Commendable behavior is reciprocal
– Be calm, poised and tactful
– Be firm at all times
– Be enthusiastic
– Practice good sense of humor
– Speak with good voice, volume and pitch
– Be humble

Common ways of dealing with discipline problems

Acceptable:
– Using verbal reinforces that encourage good behavior
– Using nonverbal gestures to dissuade them from mischief
– Dialogues could help discover problems and agree on mutually beneficial solution time out
– Awarding merits for good behavior
– A private, one-on-one brief conference
– Allowing students the freedom to express themselves

Unacceptable
– Scolding
– Harsh words
– Nagging
– Long sermons
– Keeping students in” detention area”
– Denying a student some privilege
– Using ridicule or sarcasm
– Assigning of additional homework
– Subtracting points from grades due to misbehavior

Establishing Routine: Routine is a regular procedure or a normal practice that is to be

followed. It is a schedule of activities that is mostly time-spaced and is attuned to the lesson
objectives. It contributes to a smooth flow of activities this lessening the unnecessary
disruptions. These include:
– Keeping tables and chairs in order before leaving
– Returning barrowed tools and materials after use
– Cleaning chalk board to be ready for the next topic
– Transferring from one room to another on time
– Order in waiting for ones turn in borrowing books
– Cleaning stains or drops after the lesson

The 21st Century Trends in Philippine Education

Relevance and Responsiveness

Benefit from Industry University Collaboration
• For Students- ensure workplace orientation and opportunity to apply their skills,
knowledge and proper work attitudes; opportunities for enhance employability
 • For Industry- prospective workers are developed according to the companies specifications
• For the University- reduced need for sophisticated equipment and facilities;
responsiveness to industry needs and better employment for graduates.
Efficiency and Effectiveness
Pres. Aquino’s 10 Ways to Fix Philippine Education
• 12-Year Basic Education Cycle- expand the basic education cycle from a short of 10
year cycle to a globally comparable 12 years before 2016.
• Universal Pre-Schooling for All- All public school children (and all public schools)
will have pre-schooling as their introduction to formal schooling by 2016.
• Madaris Education as a Sub-system within the Education System- Madaris education
with subjects in Arabic Language and Islamic Values education will be integrated in
the public school curriculum as additional subject with the view to keeping the Muslim
Filipino children in school.
• Technical Vocational Education as an Alternative Stream in Senior High School-
Provide education alternative to better prepare students for the world of work. Re –
introducing technical vocational education in the public high schools to better link and
match schooling to local industry needs and employment.
• “every Child a Reader” by Grade 1- by the end of SY 2015-2016, every child passing
pre- school must be a reader by Grade 1.Library infrastructures with appropriate
reading materials will be built in schools, and elementary teachers shall be trained how
to teach reading.
• Science and Math Proficiency- Rebuild the science and math infrastructure in schools
to produce more scientists, engineers, technicians, technologist and teachers in the
universities so that this country can be more globally competitive in industry and
manufacturing.
• Assistance to private schools as essential Partners in Basic Education- Expand the
Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education to a target of 1
million HS students through education service contra ting and do away with wasteful
education voucher system
• Medium of Instruction Rationalized- Support UNESCO’s tried and tested formula on
mother tongue instruction. Use mother tongue as medium of instruction from pre-
school to Grade III
• Quality Textbooks-Produce books according to these criteria; quality, better quality
and more quality
• Covenant with Local Government to build more schools- the support of the LGU’s is
necessary to build more classrooms with smaller population, so that teachers and
students, and parents can form a real learning community.

Access and Equity in Education

Legal Bases on the Access Equity of Education in the Philippines

• The 1987 Philippine Constitution (Section 1, Article IV). The state protect and
promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take
appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all’.
• RA 9155 9Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001) - Remaining DECS to DepEd
and reiterating the constitutional mandate. Establish free compulsory public education
at the elementary and high school level of education
• RA 6655 ( The Free Secondary Education Act) - providing free four years of
secondary schooling for those ages 12 to 15 in the public schools
Alternative Modes of Learning/Acquiring Qualification
• Ladderized Education Program (LEP)
• Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program ( ETEEAP)
• Ladderized Model Curricula
• Distance Education Learning

Accreditation Enhancing the Quality of Education

Accreditation – is a concept of self-regulation which focuses on self-study and evaluation
and on the continuing improvement of educational quality. It is both a process (form of peer
review) and a result
(a form of certification granted by recognized and authorized accrediting agency)
• Program accreditation - accreditation of academic course
• Institutional accreditation - accreditation of the school, college, university or
institution as a whole

The 21st Century Teaching Skills

Learning and Innovation Skills - recognized as the skills that separate students who are
prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in the 21 st century have; focus
on creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration
• Creativity and Innovation - Think creativity, Work Creatively with others,
implement innovations
• Critical Thinking and Problem Solving-reason Effectively, Use Systems, Thinking,
Make Judgment and Decisions, Solve Problems
• Communication and Collaboration - Communicate Clearly, Collaborate with others.

Information, Media and Technology Skills - 1) access to an abundance of information; 2)

rapid changes in technology tools; and 3) the ability to collaborate and make individual
contributions on an unprecedented scale. To be effective in the 21st century, citizens and
workers must be able to exhibit a range of functional and critical thinking skills related to
information, media and technology.
• Information Literacy - Access and Evaluate information, use and Manage information.
• Media Literacy - analyze Media, Create media Products,
• ICT Literacy - Apply Technology Effectively

Life and Career Skills - Today’s life and work environments require far more than thinking
skills and content knowledge. The ability to navigate the complex life and work environments
in the globally competitive information age requires students to pay rigorous attention to
developing adequate life and career skills.
• Flexibility and Adaptability - Adapt to Change , Be Flexible
• Initiative and Self- Direction - Manage Goals and Time, Work Independently, Be self-
directed Learners.
• Social and Cross Cultural Skills - Interact Effectively with others, Work Effectively in
Diverse Teams

COMPETENCY BASED PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM FOR TEACHERS (CB PAST)

Drawing from the Vision and Mission of the Department of Education, CB-PAST is a
comprehensive appraisal system which addresses one of the mandates of the Department as
embodied in the RA9155 (CB-PAST Primer , 2009). There a pressing call for teacher’s
accountability that has never been as serious before. In response to relevant and quality
education for the 21st Century, the Filipino teachers today need to have continuous personal
and professional development that driven by individual teacher performance, as NCBTS, a
professional development. This specifically stated in Domain of the NCBTS, a professional
development that is driven by the individual teacher performance, as evidenced from the
information resulting for various tools of the Competency-Based Performance Appraisal
System for Teachers (CB-PAST).

PRINCIPLES AND STRETEGIES OF TEACHING

“If your plan is for one year… plant rice; if your plan is for ten years…plant a tree; but if you
plan is for eternity… EDUCATE children.”

A. BASIC CONCEPTS
– Strategy of Teaching- Refers to the science of developing a plan to attain goal and to
guard against undesirable results. It means the art of using psychological plan in order
to increase the probabilities and favorable consequences of success and to lessen the
chances of failure.
– Method of Teaching- refers to the series of related and progressive acts performed by a
teacher and the students to attain the specific objectives of the lesson. It is a plan
involving sequence of steps to achieve a given goal or objective.
– Technique of teaching-refers to the personalized style of carrying out a particular step
of a given method. It is a skill employed by the teacher in carrying out the procedures
or act of teaching.
– Device-is a teaching aid or tool to facilitate instruction, like pictures, flash cards, etc.

Variables That Affect Teaching Method

– Objectives
– Nature of students
– Nature of subject matter
– The teacher
– Technology
– School environment
 – Teacher’s knowledge of group dynamics

Learning Objectives: Their importance and Construction

What is a Learning Objective? A learning objective is a statement of what students will be

able to do when they have completed instruction. A learning objective has three major
components:
1. A description of what the student will be able to do;
2. The conditions under which the student will perform the task; and
3. The criteria for evaluating student performance

What is the difference between a goal and a Learning Objective? A Goal is a statement of
the intended general outcome of an instructional unit or program. A goal statement describes a
more global learning outcome. A learning objective is a statement of one of several specific
performances, the achievement of which contributes to the attainment of the goal. A single
GOAL may have specific subordinate learning objectives. For example

GOAL: The goal of Learning Assessment course is to enable the students to make reliable
and accurate assessment of learning.

Learning Objectice#1: Given a learning objective of the student will be able to develop
an appropriate multiple choice question to measure student achievement of the
objective.

Learning Objective#2: Given a printout from an item analysis of multiple choice exam
the student will be able to state the accuracy of the test scores

Learning Objective#3: Given the discrimination and difficulty indices of an item the
student will be able to determine if the item contributes to the reliability of the exam.

Why Are Learning Objectives Important?

1. Selection of the content
2. Development of an instructional strategy
3. Development and selection of instructional materials
4. Construction of tests and other instruments for assessing and then evaluating student
learning outcomes

How Do You Write A Learning Objective?

1. Focus on student performance, not teacher performance
2. Focus on product, not process
3. Focus on terminal behavior, not subject matter
4. Include only general learning outcome in each objective.

A learning objective is a statement describing a competency of performance capability to

be acquired by the learner. There are three characteristics essential t0o insuring clear
statements of objectives.
Behavior - First, an objective must describe the competency to be learned in performance
terms. The choice of a verb is all-important here. Such frequently used terms as know,
understand, grasp, and
appreciate do not meet his requirement. If the verb used in stating an objective identifies an
observable student behavior, then the basis for a clear statement is established. In addition, the
type or level of learning must be identified.

Criterion - Second, an objective should make clear how well a learner must perform to be
judge adequate. This can be done with a statement indicating a degree of accuracy, a quantity
or proportion of correct responses or the like.

Conditions - Third, an objective should describe the conditions under which the learner will
be expected perform in the evaluation situation. The tools, references, or other aids thus will
be provided or denied should be made clear. Sometimes, one or even two of these elements
will be easily implied by a simple statement. In other times, however, it may be necessary to
clearly specify in detail each element of the objective. The following is an example of a
completed learning objective.

OBJECTIVE: “Given a set of data the student will be able to compute the standard deviation”.

Condition: Given a set of data

Behavior: the student will be able to compute the standard deviation
Criterion: (implied) the number computed will be correct

Checklist for Writing a Specific Instructional Objective

1. Begin each statement of a specific learning outcome with a verb that specifies
definite, observable behavior.
2. Make sure that each statement meets all three of the criteria for a good learning
objective?
3. Be sure to include complex objectives ( appreciation, problem-solving, etc.) when
they are appropriate

Guides or aids to writing learning objectives: Educators and psychologist concerned with
learning theory have given considerable through the various types of learning that takes place
in schools. Probably the most comprehensive and widely known analysis of objectives in the
Taxonomy of Educational Objectives by Benjamin Bloom and others.

Taxonomy provides a consistent means of developing the single most powerful tool in
instruction and assessment of students learning outcomes-the learning performance objective.
The Taxonomy distinguishes among three major categories of objectives termed the
COGNITIVE DOMAIN, the PSYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN, and the AFFECTIVE
DOMAIN.

It is generally the Cognitive Learning Domain that is of primary concern in higher education.
If we assume that faculty is more concerned with process and problem-solving activities, the
categories of

Taxonomy are most valuable in suggesting various kinds of behavior to use as objectives. The
following list of process-oriented behaviors, which are related to the six categories of the
Taxonomy, should serve as a useful guide to the faculty in preparing objectives.
TABLES OF PROCESS ORIENTED LEARNER BEHAVIORS
Domains of Learning: Learning is a psychological process. Thus, the assessment of learning,
of necessity, requires the assessment of various psychological processes. In developing
assessment tools (tests), it is important that we first have an understanding of these
psychological processes and how to go about measuring them. Although there are many
psychological models for the process of learning, for this workbook we have chosen the
taxonomy of Behavioral objectives as useful tool. In Bloom’s taxonomy, there are three
fundamental learning domains: Cognitive, Psychomotor, and Affective.

Affective learning of beliefs, attitudes, and values: Psychomotor learning of physical

movements, such as a ballet steps, how to pitch a curve ball, how to drill out a cavity in a
molar, etc.
Cognitive learning of information and the processes of dealing with that information. There
are six levels of Cognitive Learning as specified by Bloom:
1. Basic Knowledge
2. Comprehension
3. Application
4. Analysis
5. Synthesis
6. Evaluation

Generally, it can be said that the first category, Knowledge, is information-oriented as it

stresses the ability to recall existing knowledge. The other five categories can be termed”
Process oriented” because they entail more sophisticated learner behaviors and competencies
that require increasing degrees of understanding. The following are brief definitions of these
six levels with a suggestion as to how to assess this level of learning:

Basic Knowledge: To recall and memorize- assessed by direct questions. The object is to test
student’s ability to recall facts, to identify and repeat the information provided.

Comprehension: To translate form one form to another-assessed by having students

• Restate material in their own words,
• Reorder or extrapolate ideas, predict or estimate.
• Assessment must provide evidence that the students have some understanding or
comprehension of what they are saying.

Application: To apply or use information in a new situation- assessed by presenting students

with a unique situation (i.e. one not identical to that used during instruction) and have them
apply their knowledge to solve the problem or execute the proper procedure.

Analysis: To examine a concept and break it down into parts- assessed by presenting student
with a unique situation of the same type but not identical to that used during instruction, and
have them analyze the situation and describe the appropriate procedure or solution to the
problem.

Synthesis: To put information together in a unique or novel way to solve a problem- assessed
by presenting students with a unique situation NOT of the same type used during instruction,
and have them solve a problems by selecting and using appropriate information
Levels of Affective Objectives: Krathwohl’s affective domain taxonomy is perhaps the best
known of any of the affective taxonomies, the taxonomy is ordered according to the principle
of
internalization, which is to process whereby a person’s affect toward an object passes from a
general awareness level to a point where the affect is “internalized” and consistently guides or
controls the person’s behavior

Receiving is being aware or sensitive to the existence of certain ideas, material, or phenomena
and being willing to tolerate them. Examples include: to differentiate to accept to listen (for),
to respond to.

Responding is committed in some small measure to the ideas, materials, or phenomena

involved by actively responding to them. Examples are: to comply with, to follow, to
commend, to volunteer, to spend leisure time in, to acclaim

Valuing is willing to be perceived by others as valuing certain ideas, materials, or

phenomena’s. Examples include: to increase measured proficiency in, to relinquish, to
subsidize, and to support, to debate.

Organizing is to relate the value to those already held and bring it into a harmonious and
internally consistent philosophy. Examples are: to discuss, to theorize, to formulate to
balance, to examine.

Characterization by value or value set is to act consistently in accordance with the values he
or she has internalized. Examples include: to revise, to require, to be rated high in the value, to
avoid, to resist, to manage, to resolve.

Levels of Psychomotor Objectives

Leve Definition Exampl
l e
1. Observing Active The learner observes more experienced person
in his/her performance of the skill, asked to
mental attending observe sequences and relationships and to pay
of a physical event particular attention to the finished product.
Direct observation may be supplemented by
reading or watching a video. Thus, the learner
may read about
the topic and then watch a performance
2. Imitating Attempted copying The learner begins to acquire the rudiments of
of physical the skill. The learner follows directions and
behavior sequences under close supervision. The total act
is not important, nor is the timing or
coordination emphasized. The learner is
conscious of deliberate
effort to imitate the model
3. Practicing Trying a specific The entire sequence is performed repeatedly.
physical activity All aspects of the act are performed in
over and over sequence. Consciousness effort fades as the
performance becomes more or less habitual.
Timing and coordination are emphasized. Here,
 the person has acquired the skill but is not as
expert
4. Adapting Fine tuning. Perfection of the skill, Minor adjustments are
Making minor made that influence the total performance.
adjustments Coaching
in the physical often very valuable here. This is now a good
player
 activity in order to becomes a better player
perfect it.

The psychomotor domain refers to the use of basic motor skills, coordination, and physical
movement. Bloom’s search group did not develop in-depth categories of this domain,
claiming lack of experience in teaching these skills. However, Simpson (1972) developed
seven psychomotor categories to support the original domain. These physical behaviors are
learned through repetitive practice. A learner’s ability to perform these skills is based on
precision, speed, distance and technique.

Direct Instruction/ Lecture

Advantages:
 Teacher-controlled
 Many objectives can be mastered in s short amount of time
 Lends to valid evaluations
Disadvantages
 Teacher-controlled
 Student involvement is limited to the teacher
 Depends in part to rote learning (repetition form memory, often without meaning)

When to use?
 When the objectives indicate effectiveness
 When the teacher determines that it is the best to use of time & effort

SIX STEPS IN DIRECT INSTRUCTION

1. Review previously learned material
 A short review before/ with the new lesson’s interest approach
 Check & grade previous homework
 Put problems on the board ( can be part of bell-work)
 Re-teach if necessary
2. State objectives for the lesson
 Students should know what is to be taught
-Stated clearly
-Written on the board
-Handed out
 Follow the objective
 Use them to develop evaluations
3. Present new material
 Your teaching depends on your analysis and preparation
 Organize content
 From general to specific
 From lower level objectives to higher
 From previous information to new
material Lectures
 Be aware of attention spans
 Be aware of the number of major points made
  Be repetitious
 Review and summarize
 Demonstrations
-Learning Activity, experiment, demonstration
-WOW em!
-Allow students to practice immediately
4. Guided practice with corrective feedback
 Guided and independent practice
 Teacher controls & monitors guided
 Teacher evaluates & corrects independent
 Questions should be prepared in advance
5. Assign independent practice with corrective feedback
 Homework
 A formative step, not a summative step
 Worksheets
6. Review periodically with corrective feedback if necessary
 Check homework promptly
 Base new instruction on results
 Re-teach if necessary

OTHER TEACHING TECHNIQUES

Brainstorming
Situations for use:
 Generate ideas ( quantity is more important that quality)
 Students have some level of experience
Planning Required:
 Formulate the question
 Plan for recording ideas
Brainstorming Steps
 Pose question to class
 Generate ides with group
 Accept all ideas ( do not criticize)
 Go back to summarize discard “ unacceptable” or unworkable ideas
 Determine the best solutions
Supervised Study
 Common technique used in problem solving instruction, but certainly not the only
technique appropriate for problem solving instruction
 Also a major technique used in competency-based education programs.
 Often misused technique. A really bad form of this technique is: read the chapter’s the
textbook and answer the questions at the end of the chapter.
 Classified as an individualized instruction technique
Situations Appropriate for Use
 Discovery or inquiry learning is desired
 Access to good reference materials (textbooks, extension publications, web resources,
industry publications, etc.)
 Students may need to “look up” information
 Alternate answers may be acceptable
  Many structured lab activities are actually a form of supervise study
Strengths:
 Provides skills in learning that are useful throughout student’s lives. For they need to
know how to locate and analyze information
 Recall is enhanced when students have to “look up” information, rather than being
lectured to.
 Students have to decide what information is important and related to the question posed
 Opportunity for the students to develop writing and analytical skills.
Weakness:
 Easy for students to get off-task
 Students may interpret questions differently and locate incorrect information
 Unmotivated students will do the absolute minimum
 Students tend to copy information from sources rather analyze and synthesize information
 Requires more time than lecture
 Relies on students being able to read and comprehend information at the appropriate level.
Procedure in Conducting Supervised Study:
 Teacher develops a list of a study questions for students to answer
 Resources and reference materials are located or suggested to students as possible
sources of answers
 Students are given time in class to find answers to questions and to record the answers
in their notes
 Due to time constraints, however, teachers may want to assign different questions to
specific students, so that every student is not looking for the same information.
 Summary consist of discussing the correct answers to the questions with the entire class
 Teachers must be careful to emphasize that incorrect answers must be corrected
Role of the Teacher:
 Develop a list of study questions that focuses on the objectives of the lesson
 Develop the anticipated answers to the questions-it is important that the teacher has a
firm idea of what are correct or incorrect answers
 Establish a time frame for completing the activity. Students need to a feel a sense of
urgency, so don’t give them more time than you think they will need.
 Supervise during this activity. THIS IS NOT A TIME GRADE PAPER, MAKE
PHONE CALLS, PLAN FOR THE NEXT LESSON, OR LOCATE THE ANSWERS
TO THE QUESTIONS IN THIS LESSEON!
 Assist students in locating information, but do not find it foe them
 Keep students on task and eliminate distractions
 Plan foe reporting of answers

Small group Discussion also called:

 Buzz groups - is a small, intense discussion group usually involving to 3 persons
responding to a specific question or in search of very precise information. The full
plenary group is subdivided into the small groups. It's called a 'buzz' group because it
mimics the sound of people in intense discussion
 Huddle Groups - makes it easy for anyone looking for support to talk openly, ask
questions, and give or receive guidance.
 Philips 66
 6 people per group
 6 ideas to be generated
 6 minutes
 Advantages:
 Increased participation
 Good foe generating ideas
 Cooperative activity ( students learn from each other)
Planning Required
 Clearly from question or topic
 Develop a plan for grouping the students
 Plan for reporting
 Summarize the activity (what they should have learned)
Conducting Small group Discussion
 Write question or topic on the board or handout
 Give specific instructions on how the group will operate
 Establish time limits
 Circulate among the groups to help keep them on task (Not as a participant)
 Give warning near end of time allocated
 Reports: Rotate among the groups for answers

Games
Situation for Use:
 Motivates students
 Reviews
 Check for understanding
Strengths:
 Active learning technique
 Appeals to competitive students
 High interest
level Planning Requires
 Game must be develop by teacher
 Rules must be establish. Try to anticipate all potential situations that may occur. You
do not want the effectiveness of the activity to be destroyed by arguments over rules.
 Develop a plan for determining teams
 Develop plan for keeping score
 Determine rewards- make them appropriate (usually very minor in nature)
Types: games may take a variety of forms, but most often are modeled after.
 TV game shows
 Sports
 Home board games

Field Trips and Resource Persons

Situation Use:
 First hand experiences are needed
 Need expertise
Planning Needed:
 Objectives
 Trial run/visit
 Special considerations (safety, grouping, etc.)
 Summarize (don’t give up responsibility!). It is critical to know what the students have
learned from the activity.
Tips:
 Provide advance organizers (e.g. report forms, fact sheets)
 “plant” questions among students
 Assign students to begin the questions

With-it-ness - the teacher knows that what is going on in the classroom at all times.
Seemingly, the teacher has eyes in the back of his/her head. This is not only when the teacher
is in a small group setting, but when he/she is presenting a topic or students are working as
individuals. It can be as simples as looking around the room frequently or making sure your
back is never turned to the class. It is not necessary to know what the teacher know is going
on- it is what the students believe she knows.

HELPFUL TIPS ON STUDENT CONTROL AND PRACTICES

The Hawthorne Effect is a phenomenon in industrial psychology first observed in the 1920s.
It refers to improvements in productivity or quality resulting from the mere fact that workers
were being studied or observed.

Pygmalion Effect (or Rosenthal effect) refers to situations in which students performed better
that other students simply because they were expected to do so.
Placebo Effect is the phenomenon that a patient’s symptoms can be alleviated by an
otherwise ineffective treatment, apparently because the individual expects or believes that it
will work

The John Henry Effect has also been identified: an experiment may spur competition
between groups, precisely because they are conscious of being part of an experiment. The
term “halo effect” describe what happens when a scientific observation is influenced by the
observer’s perceptions of the individual procedure, or service that is under observation. The
observer’s prejudices, recollections of previous observations, and knowledge about prior
observations or finding can all affect objectivity and must be guarded against.

JACOB KOUNIN’S THEORY

Jacob Kounin’s Theory all of this came about form an incident that happened while he was
teaching a class in Mental Hygiene. A student in the back of the class was reading newspaper,
and the newspaper being opened fully in front of the student so that he couldn’t see the
teacher. Kounin asked the student to put the paper away and pay attention. Once the student
complied, Kounin realized that other students who were engaging in non-appropriate
behaviors (whispering, passing notes) stopped and began to pay attention the lecture. This
gave him interest in understanding classroom discipline on not only the student being
disciplined, but also the other students in the classroom. This is the effect that became known
as the “Ripple Effect”.

Who is Kounin? Kounin is a classroom behaviorist theorist. Best known for his two studies
done in 1970 He wrote the book, "Discipline and Group Management in Classrooms". Kounin
worked to combine both discipline and learning in the classroom. Kounin believed that
organization and planning are key to engaging students
Achieving Classroom Management through Preventative

Discipline Strategy 1: Ripple Effect

By correcting the misbehavior of one student it can positively influence the behavior of another
Strategy 2: ‘Withitness’
 Awareness of what is going on in all parts of the classroom
 Teachers have eyes on the back of their heads!
 Classroom layout benefits the teacher’s ability to see all students at all times

Strategy 3: Overlapping
 When teachers can effectively tend to two or more events simultaneously
 Students are more likely to stay on task if they know that the teacher is
 aware of what they are doing (body language)

Strategy 4: Movement
 Smoothness: Smooth transitions between activities
 Momentum: Appropriate pace and progression through a lesson
 Group Focus and Accountability: Keep the whole class involved and

interested When Managing the Classroom,

 Dangling: Teacher leaves a topic and introduces new, unrelated material

 Flip-flop: like dangling, except that the teacher inserts left-over materials from a
previous lesson
 Thrust: teacher forgets to give clear instructions at the appropriate time of a lesson.
Teacher must then re-explain the instructions to each student on an individual level
 Stimulus-bound: Teacher is distracted by an outside stimulus and draws the class’s
attention to it

Classroom Applications
 Be aware of what is happening around the classroom.
 Intervene before misbehaviors escalate.
 Use routines, explanations and smooth transitions to gain the attention of the students.
 Keep all students involved through constant supervision and accountability.
 Reduce off task behavior and boredom by creating challenges, extending tasks,
providing progress and adding variety.
 Be able to attend to more than one event at the same time.

EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUE

The Art of Questioning: Teacher ask questions over a hundred questions in a class session to
encourage student thinking. Let’s examine some aspects of the Art of questioning, including:
types of questions wait time, and questioning and creativity

Categories of Questions: There are many systems that teachers use to classify questions.
Upon close observation, in the most systems, questions are typically classified into two
categories. Various terms are used to describe these two categories (Figure 1). The binary
approach is useful because two categories are more manageable foe a beginning teacher to
learn to implement the typical approach of using systems with six categories
Figure 1 categories of Questions:
Category 1 Category 2
Factual Higher cognitive
Closed Open
Converge Divergent
nt Lower Higher level
level Low High over
order High inquiry
Low inquiry

Low inquiry questions. These questions focus on previously learned knowledge in order to
answer questions posed by the teacher, who requires the students to perform ONE of the
following task:
1. Elicit the meaning of a term
2. Represent something by a word or a phrase
3. Supply an example of something
4. Make statements of issues, steps in a procedure, rules, conclusions, ideas and beliefs
that have previously been made
5. Supply a summary or a review of what was previously said or provided
6. Provide a specific, predictable answer to a question

High inquiry questions. These questions focus on previously learned knowledge in order to
answer questions posed by the teacher, who requires the students to perform ONE of the
following tasks:
1. Perform an abstract operation, usually of a mathematical nature, such as multiplying,
substituting, or simplifying
2. Rate some entity as to its value, dependability, importance, or sufficiency with a
defense of the rating
3. Find similarities or differences in the qualities of two or more entities utilizing criteria
defined by the student
4. Make a prediction that is the result of some stated condition, state, operation, object or
substance
5. Make inferences to account for the occurrence of something (how or why it occurred).
Low inquiry questions tend to reinforce “correct” answers, or focus on specific
acceptable answers, whereas high inquiry questions stimulate a broader range or
responses, and tend to stimulate high levels of thinking. There is evidence to support
the use of both types of question

Low inquiry questions will help sharpen student’s ability to recall experiences and events
of science teaching. Low inquiry questions are useful if you are interests in having
students focus on the details of the content of a chapter in their textbook, or laboratory
experiment.
High inquiry questions encourage range of responses from the students and tend to
stimulate divergent thinking. Figure 2 summarizes the differences between low and high
inquiry questions.

Figure 2. Difference between Low and High Inquiry Questions:

Typ Student responses Response Examples
e
-Recall, memorize How
-Describe in own many...
words Define…
-Summarize closed In your own words...
-Classify on basis of state similarities and

Wait Time. Knowledge of the types of questions, and their predicted effect on student
thinking is important to know. However, researchers have found that there are other factors
associated with questioning that can enhance critical and creative thinking. One of the
purposes of the questioning us to enhance and increase verbal behavior of students.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT: CONCEPTS, NATURE, AND PURPOSES
The term “curriculum” conveys many things to people. To some, it denotes a specific course, while to
others it means the entire educational environment. It is a dynamic as the change that occurs in
the society. Hence, curriculum encompasses more than a simple definition. It is a key element
in the educational process; its scope is extremely broad, and it touches virtually everyone who
is involved with teaching and learning. In a broader sense, it refers to the total learning
experience of individuals not only in school, but in society as well.

Education or l reforms in the Philippines can be traced form different recommendations of

several educational initiatives, like the Philippine Commission to survey Philippine Education
(PCSPE-1969), Survey of the Outcomes of Elementary Education (SOUTELE-1976), the
Philippine Commission of Educational Reform (PCER) that focused on curricular reforms and
National Competency-Based standards for Teachers (NCBTS), which became the anchor of
reforms in education from the basic to higher education

What is Curriculum? From the Latin word curriculum (“course”), derived from currere “run
or “move quickly). A “course for tracing”

In educational usage, the “course of the race” stands for “course of study”
1. The Traditional Points of View
• In early years of the 20th century, “Curriculum was a “body of subject or
subject matter prepared by the teacher for the student to learn.” It was
synonymous to the “course of study” and “syllabus”
• Robert M. Hutchins- curriculum for basic education should emphasize 3Rs,
 and college education should be grounded on liberal education
• Joseph Schwab-“Discipline” is the sole source of curriculum. Thus, the
education system curriculum is divided into chunk of knowledge called subject
areas in basic
 education, such as math science, English etc…, and college, discipline may
include humanities, sciences, languages, etc.
2. Progressive Points of View of Curriculum
• To a progressivist, “a listing of school subjects, syllabi, course of study, and
list of course or specific discipline do not make a curriculum,” This can only be
called curriculum if the written materials are actualized by the learner.
• John Dewey-Curriculum is based in Dewey’s definition of experience and
education. He believes that reflective thinking is a means that unifies curricular
elements.
• Caswell and Campbell viewed curriculum as “all experiences children have
under the guidance of teachers”.
• Marsh and Willis view curriculum as “all the experiences in the classroom
which are planned and enacted by the teacher, and also learned by the
students.”

Major Foundations of Curriculum

The commonly accepted foundations of curriculum include the following:
1. Philosophical - relating or devoted to the study of the fundamental nature of
knowledge, reality, and existence.
2. Historical - concerning history; concerning past events.
3. Psychological - affecting, or arising in the mind; related to the mental and emotional
state of a person.
4. Social - relating to society or its organization.

Philosophical Foundations of Curriculum

Philosophy provides educators, teachers and curriculum makers with a framework for
planning, implementing, and evaluating curricula in schools. It helps in answering what
schools are for, what
subjects are important, how students should learn and what materials and methods should be used.
In decision-making, philosophy provides the starting point and will be used for the succeeding
decision – making process.

Four Educational Philosophies that Relates to Curriculum:

1. PERENNIALISM
Aim of Education- to educate the rational person; to cultivate the intellect.
Role of Education- Teachers help students think with reason based in the Socratic
methods of oral exposition or recitation and explicit or deliberate teaching of
traditional values.
Focus in the curriculum- Classical subjects, literary analysis. Curriculum is constant.
Curriculum trends- use of great books and return to liberal arts.
2. ESSENTIALISM
Aim of Education- To promote the intellectual growth of the individual and educate a
competent person
Role of Education- The teacher is the sole authority in his/her subject area or field of
specialization.
Focus in the curriculum- Essential skills of the 3 Yrs and essential subjects of English,
 science, history, math and foreign language
Curriculum Trends- Excellence in Education, back to basics, and cultural literacy
3. PROGRESSIVISM
Aim of Education- To promote democratic and social living
 Role of Education- Knowledge leads to growth and development of lifelong learners
who actively learn by doing.
Focus in the curriculum-Subjects are interdisciplinary, integrative, and interactive.
Curriculum is focused on student’s interest, human problems and affairs.
Curriculum Trends- School reforms, relevant and contextualized curriculum, and
humanistic education
4. RECONSTRUCTIVISM
Aim of Education- To improve and reconstruct society, since education is for change
Role of Education- Teachers act as agents of change and reform in various educational
projects, including research.
Focus in the Curriculum- Present and Future trends and issues of national and
international interest.
Curriculum Trends- Equality of educational opportunities in education, and access to
global education.

HISTORICAL FOUNDATION OF CURRICULUM

Philippine educations was greatly influence by the American educational system. The
following curriculum theories laid down their views on what curriculum is.
1. Franklin Bobbit (1876-1956) presented curriculum as a science that emphasizes the
student’s needs. Curriculum prepares students for adult life. To Bobbit, objectives with
corresponding activities should be grouped and sequenced. This can only be done of
instructional activities and tasks are clarified.
2. Werett Characters (1875-1952) - Like Bobbit, to Charters, curriculum is a science,
and it gives emphasis on student’s needs. The listing objectives and matching of these
with corresponding activities ensure that the content or subject matter is related to the
objective. The subject matter and the objectives are planned by the teacher.
3. William Kilpatrict (1871-1965) - Curricula are purposeful activities which are child-
centered. The purpose of the curriculum is child development. The project method was
introduced by Kilpatrick, whose model allowed the teacher and student to plan the
activities. The curriculum develops social relationships and small group instruction.
4. Harold Rugg (1886-1960) - Rugg, the curriculum should develop the whole child. It
is child- centered. With the statement of objectives and related learning activities,
curriculum should produce outcomes. Rugg emphasized social studies, and that
teachers plan the curriculum in advance
5. Hollis Caswell (1901-1989) - He saw curriculum as organized around social functions
or themes, organized knowledge and learner’s interest. Caswell believes that
curriculum is a set of experiences
6. Ralph Tyler (1902-1994) - as one of the authorities on curriculum, Tyler believes that
curriculum is a science and an extension of the school’s philosophy. It is based on
student’s needs and interest. To Tyler, curriculum is always related to instruction.
Subject matter is organized in terms of knowledge, skills and values. The Process
emphasizes problem-solving. The curriculum aims to educate generalists and not
specialists

Historical development shows different changes in the purposes, principles and content of
the curriculum. The different changes are influenced by educational philosophy, psychology
and pedagogical theories. This implies that curriculum is ever-changing, putting in knowledge
and content from many disciplines.
 PSYCHOLOGICAL FOUNDATION OF EDUCATION
Psychology provides a basis for the teaching and learning process. It unifies elements of the
learning process and some of the questions which can be addressed by psychological
foundations of education. How should curriculum be organized to enhance learning? What is
the optimum level of the students’ preparation in learning various contents of the curriculum?

Three groups of learning theories like behaviorism or association theories; cognitive-

information processing theories are considered to address the4 above questions.
1. BEHAVIORIST PSYCHOLOGY - Behaviorism dominated 20th-century
psychology. It includes, among others, the following:
 Connectionism-Edward Thorndike, which influence both Ralph Tyler and Hilda Taba
who considered to be two of the well-know curricularists.
 Classical conditioning-Ivan Pavlov
 Operant Conditioning-B.F. Skinner
 Modeling and Observation Theory- Albert Bandura
 Hierarchical Learning/sets of behavior and five learning outcomes- Robert Gagne
- Intellectual skills or” knowing how” categorize and use symbols, forming concepts
and problem-solving.
- Information or “knowing what” knowledge about facts dates and names
- Cognitive strategies or learning skills
- Motor skills: and
- Attitudes, feelings and emotions learned through experiences

The listed learning outcomes overlap with the domains in the taxonomy of educational
objectives, which are cognitive, affective and psychomotor.

To the behaviorist, learning should be organized to students can experience success in the
process of mastering the subject matter. The method introduced in a step by step manner with
proper sequencing of tasks, which is viewed by other educational psychologist as simplistic
and mechanical.

2. COGNITVE PSYCHOLOGY - How do learns store information? How do they

retrieve and generate conclusions? These are some of the basic questions asked by
cognitive psychologists.
Advocates of cognitive psychology:
- Cognitive Development Stages- jean Piaget
- Social Constructivism- Lev Vygotsky
- Multiple intelligences- Howard Garner
- Learning Styles- Felder and Silverman
- Emotional Intelligence- Daniel Goleman

To the Cognitive theorist, learning constitutes a logical method for organizing and interpreting
learning. Learning is rooted in the tradition of subject matter and is similar to the cognitive
development theory. Teachers use a lot of problem-solving and thinking skills in teaching and
learning, intuitive thinking, discovery learning. These are exemplified by practices like
reflective thinking, creative thinking, discovery learning and many others.
 3. HUMANISTICS PSYCHOLOGY - Humanist psychologists are concerned with how
learners can develop their human potentials. Traditional psychologists do not
recognize humanistic psychology as a school of psychology, however, observes view
humanistic psychology as the third force learning theory after behaviorism and
cognitive development.
- Learning can be explained in terms of the wholeness of the problem and where
the environment is changing and the learner is continuously recognizing his or
her perceptions-Gestalt Theory.
- Theory of human needs for self- actualizing persons- Abraham Maslow
- Non-directive lives= Carl Rogers

Among the humanistic psychologists, curriculum is concerned with the process, not the
products; personal needs, not subject matter, psychological meanings and environmental
situations.
In summary, psychology has a great influence on the curriculum. Learners not machines, and
mind is not a computer. Humans are biological beings affected by their biology and cultures.
The psychological foundations will curriculum makers in nurturing a more advanced, more
comprehensive and complete human learning.

SOCIAL FOUNDATIONS OF EDUCATION

Schools exist within social context. Societal culture affects and shapes schools and their
curricula. The way school buildings are structured and the way classrooms and students are
organized reflect the cultural views and values of the society. In considering the social
foundations of the curriculum, we must recognize that schools are only one of the many
institutions that educate society. However, schools are formal institutions that address more
complex and interrelated societies and the world.

Society ever dynamic, is a source of very fast changes which are difficult to cope with and to
adjust to. Thus, schools are made to help understand these changes. However, some
observations point out to the fact that schools are conservative institutions that lag behind they
are supposed to be agents of change. Thus order for schools to be relevant, school curricula
should address diversity, explosion of knowledge, school reforms and education for all.

The relationship of curriculum and society is mutual and encompassing. Hence, to be relevant,
the curricula should reflect and preserve the culture of society and its aspirations. At the same
time, society should also imbibe the changes brought about by the formal institutions called
schools.

What are the Characteristics of Good Curriculum?

1. The curriculum is continuously evolving. It must be a product of a long and tedious
process of evaluation and change. It has evolved from one period to another to the
present.
2. The curriculum is based on the needs of the people. A curricular program must begin
with those that concern the people themselves. It reflects the needs of the individuals
and the society as a whole. The curriculum is a proper shape in order to meet the
challenges of times and education more responsive to the clientele it serves.
3. The curriculum is democratically conceived. A good curriculum is developed through
the efforts of a group of individuals from different sectors in society who are
knowledgeable about the interest, needs and resources of the learner and the society as
a whole. The Curriculum is a product of many minds and energies.
4. The curriculum is the result of a long-term effort. It takes a long period of time to go
through the planning, management, evaluation and development of a good curriculum.
 5. The curriculum is a complex of details. A good curriculum provides the proper
instructional equipment and meeting places that are often most conducive to learning. It
includes the teacher student-student relationship, guidance and counseling program,
health services, schools and community projects, library and laboratories, and other
school related work experiences.
6. The curriculum provides for the logical sequence of subject matter. It is a fact that
learning is developmental. Thus, classes and activities should be planned to achieve an
orderly development of subject matter and step-by step progress of the learner. There is
a smooth transition and continuing achievement of learners from one subject matter,
classroom, grade, or school to another. A good curriculum provides continuity of
experiences.
7. The curriculum complements and cooperates with other programs of the community.
The curriculum is responsive to the needs of the community. The school offers is
assistance in the improvement and realization of on-going programs of the community.
There is cooperative effort between the school and the community towards greater
productivity.
8. The curriculum has educational quality. Quality education comes through the situation
of the individual’s intellectual and creative capacities for social welfare and
development. The curriculum helps the learner to be4come the best that can possibly
be. The curriculum support system is secured to augment existing sources for is
efficient and effective implementation.
9. The curriculum has effective flexibility. A good curriculum must be ready to
incorporate changes whenever necessary. The curriculum is open to revision and
development to meet the demands of globalization and the digital age.
The relationship of curriculum and society is mutual and encompassing. Hence, to be
relevant, the curricula should reflect and preserve the culture of the society and its
aspirations. At the same time, society should also imbibe the changes brought about by
the formal institution called schools.

TYPES OF CURRICULUMN OPERATIONG SCHOOLS

Allen Glatthorn, as cited by Bilbao describes seven (7) types of curriculum operating in the schools.
1. Recommended Curriculum - proposed by scholars and professional organizations.
The curriculum may come from a national agency like the Department of Education
(DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Department of Science and
Technology (DOST) or any professional organization who has stake in education
for example like the PAFTE.
2. Written Curriculum-appear in school, district, division, or country documents.
This includes documents, course of study or syllabi handed down to the schools,
districts, divisions, departments, or colleges for implementation. Most of the written
curricula are made by the curriculum experts with the participation of teachers.
These were pilot-tested or tried out in sample schools or population. An example is
the Basic Education Curriculum (BEC). Another example is the written lesson plan,
made up of objectives and planned activities of the teachers.
3. Taught Curriculum- what teachers implement of deliver in the classrooms or
schools. The different planned activities which are put into action in the classroom
compose the taught curriculum. These are varied activities that are implemented in
order to arrive at the objectives or purposes of the written curriculum. These are used
by the learners with the guidance of teachers. Taught curriculum varies according to
the learning styles of students and the teaching styles of teachers
 4. Supported Curriculum- resources like textbooks, computers, audio-visual
materials which support and help in the implementation of the curriculum. In
order to have a successful teaching, other than the teacher, there must be materials
which should support or help in the implementation of a written curriculum. These
refer to the material resources, such as textbooks, computers, audio-visual materials.
Laboratory equipment, playground, zoos, and other facilities. Support curriculum
should enable the learner to achieve real and lifelong learning
5. Assessed Curriculum- that which is tested and evaluated. This refers to a tested
or evaluated curriculum. At the end of the teaching episodes, series of evaluation is
done by the teachers to determine the extent of learning or to tell if the students are
progressing. This refers to the assessed curriculum. Assessment tool like pencil-and
–paper tests; authentic instruments like portfolio are being utilized.
6. Learned Curriculum- what students actually learn and what is measured.
Refers to the learning outcomes achieved by the students. Learning outcomes are
indicated by the results of the tests and changes in behavior, which can either be
cognitive, affective, or psychomotor.
7. Hidden Curriculum- the unintended curriculum. This unintended curriculum
which is not deliberately planned but may modify behavior or influence learning
outcomes. There are lots of hidden curricula that transpire in the schools. Peer
influence, school environment, physical condition, teacher-learner interaction, mood
of the teachers and many other factors to make up.

ELEMENTS AND COMPONENTS OF THE CURRICULUM

1. Aims, goals and objectives (What is to be done?)
2. Subject matter/Content (What subject matter is to be included?)
3. Learning Experiences (What instructional strategies, resources and activities will be
employed?)
4. Evaluation Approaches (What methods and instruments will be used to assess the
results of the curriculum?)

Component 1 Curriculum Aims Goals and Objectives

The Philippine Educational system is divided into three educational levels namely the
primary, secondary, and tertiary (with the trilocalization the educational system was
divided into Basic
Education (primary and secondary); Technical-Vocational Education (Post-secondary education) and
Higher Education (tertiary education)

Based on the 1987 Philippine Constitution, all schools shall aim to:
1. Inculcate patriotism and nationalism
2. Foster love of humanity
3. Promote respect for human rights
4. Appreciate the role of national heroes in the historical development of the country.
5. Teach the rights and duties of citizenship;
6. Strengthen ethical and spiritual values
7. Develop moral character and personal discipline
8. Encourage critical and creative thinking; and
9. Broaden scientific and technological knowledge and promote vocational efficiency
Aims of Elementary Education (Education Act of 1982): through their curricula,
elementary education should aim to:
1. Provide knowledge and develop skills, attitudes, values essential to personal
development and necessary for living in and contributing to a developing and
changing society;
2. Provide learning experiences which increase the child’s awareness of and
responsiveness to the changes in the society;
3. Promote and intensify knowledge, identification with and love for the nation and the
people to which he belongs; and
4. Promote work experiences which develop orientation to the world of work and prepare
the learner to engage in honest and gainful work.

Aims of Secondary Education:

1. Continue to promote the objectives of elementary education; and
2. Discover and enhance the different aptitudes and interests of students in order to equip
them with skills for productive endeavor and or to prepare them for tertiary schooling

Aims of Tertiary Education

1. Provide general education programs which will promote national identity, cultural
consciousness, moral integrity and spiritual vigor
2. Train the nation’s manpower in the skills required for national development
3. Develop the professions that will provide leadership for the nation; and
4. Advance knowledge through research and apply new knowledge for improving the
quality of human life and respond effectively to changing society.

Based on the mandate of the Constitution, each school therefore should be guided by its
vision, mission and goals and its curricula should also revolved around these. The school’s
vision is a clear concept of what the institution would like to become in the future. It provides
the focal point and unifying element according to which the school staff, faculty and students
perform individually or collectively. It is the guiding post around which all educational
efforts, including curricula, should be directed. The school’s vision can be very ambitious, but
that is a characteristic of a vision

The school’s vision and mission are further translated into goals which are broad statements
of intents to be accomplished. Data for the source of a school goals may include the learners,
the society and the fund of knowledge.

In a curriculum, these goals are made simple and specific for the attainment of each learner.
These are called educational objectives, Benjamin Bloom and Robert Mager defined
educational objectives in two ways:
1. Explicit formulation of the ways in which students are expected to be changed by the
educational process, and
2. Intent communicated by statement describing a proposed change in learners. In other
words, objectives direct the change in behavior, which is the ultimate aim of learning.
They provide the bases for the selection of learning content and learning experiences.
They also set the criteria against which learning outcomes will be evaluated.
DOMAIN IN EDUCATION
Three Big Domains Of Objectives (Benjamin Bloom)
(1) Cognitive; (2) affective; and (3) Psychomotor
1. Knowledge - recall, remembering of prior learned materials in terms of facts,
concepts, theories and principles. It is the lowest cognitive level.
2. Comprehension -ability to grasp the meaning of material. It indicates the lowest form
of understanding.
3. Application - the ability to use learned material in new and concrete situation.
4. Analysis - ability to break down material into component parts so that its
organizational structure may be understood.
5. Synthesis - ability to put parts together to form a new whole
6. Evaluation - Ability to pass judgment on something based on given criteria.

Affective Domain (Krathwohl, 1964) Domain Of Valuing Attitude And Appreciation

1. Receiving- students willingness to pay attention to particular event, stimuli or
classroom activities
2. Responding- active participation on the part of the students
3. Valuing-concerned with the worth or value a student attaches to a particular
phenomenon, object or behavior
4. Organization-concerned with bringing together different values and building a value system
5. Characterization of value or value complex-developing a lifestyle based on a value system

Psychomotor Domain Simpson 1972

1. Perception-use of sense organs to guide motor activities
2. Set-refers to the readiness to take a particular type of action
3. Guided Response- concerned with early stages in learning complex skills imitation and
trial and error are some of the ways of doing.
4. Mechanism-responses become habitual. Performance skills are executed with ease and
confidence
5. Complex over responses-skillful performance and with complex movement patterns
6. Adaptation-well developed skills is now very easy to
7. Origination-refers to creating new movements and patterns to fit the situation, showing
creativity.

Components 2 Curriculum Content or Subject matter

All curricula have content, regardless of their design or models. To the subject centered view,
content or subject matter is another term for knowledge. It is compendium of facts, concepts
generalization,
principles and theories. To the learner-centered view, the content relates knowledge to the
individual’s personal and social world and how he/she defines reality. According to Jerome
Bruner,” knowledge is a model we construct to give meaning and structure to regularities in
experience”

Criteria in the selection of subject matter content or knowledge for the curriculum (Bilbao, 2009)
1. Self-sufficiency - According to Scheffler (1970), the prime guiding principle for
content selection is helping learners to attain maximum self-sufficiency in learning,
but in the most economical manner. Economy means less teaching effort and
educational resources, less learner’s effort, but more results and effective learning
outcomes.
 2. Significance - when content or subject matter will contribute to basic ideas, concepts
principles, and generalization to achieve the overall aim of the curriculum, since it is
significant. It also significant if it will develop learning abilities, skills, processes and
attitude. Subject matter is significant if it will develop the cognitive, affective, and
psychomotor skills of the learners. It can also be significant if the cultural aspect will
be considered.
3. Validity - The authenticity of the subject matter selected is it validity. With
information explosion, oftentimes, knowledge selected for school content may become
obsolete. Thus, subject matter should be checked or verified at regular intervals, to
determine if the content that was originally valid continues to be so.
4. Interest - For a learner –centered curriculum, this is the key criterion. A learner will
value the content if it is meaningful to him or her. Students’ interests should be
considered and adjusted taking into consideration maturity, prior experiences,
educational and social value of their interest among others.
5. Utility - Usefulness of the content or subject matter may be relative to the learner who
is going to use it. Usefulness may either be for the present or the future questions like
“will I use it in my future job? will it add meaning to my life or develop my human
potential?” or” will the subject matter be useful in solving my current problems?” are
considered.
6. Learnability - Subject matter in the curriculum should be within the range of the
experiences of the learners. This is clearly suggested by the psychological foundations
of a curriculum. There are ways of presenting subject matter or content which can
easily be learned. Optimal placement and appropriate organization and sequencing of
contests are the two ways by which these can be done.
7. Feasibility - can the subject matter or content be learned within the time allowed,
resources available, expertise of the teacher, and the nature of the learners? Content
selection should be considered within the context of the existing reality in schools, in
society and government.

Component 3 Curriculum Experiences

The core or the heart of the curriculum includes the different instructional strategies and
methods that realize the goals and use the content in order to produce an outcome
teaching strategies
convert the written curriculum into instruction. Both the teacher and learner take actions to facilitate
learning.
Whatever methods the teacher utilizes to implement the curriculum, there will be some guide
for the selection and use, such as:
1. Teaching methods are means to achieve the end. They are used to translate the
objectives into action.
2. There is no single best teaching method. Its effectiveness will depend on the learning
objectives, the learners, and skill of the teacher.
3. Teaching methods should stimulate the learners desire to develop in the cognitive,
affective, psychomotor, social and spiritual domains.
4. In the choice of the teaching methods, the learning styles of the students should be
considered.
5. Every method should lead to the development of the three domains: cognitive,
affective and psychomotor
 6. Flexibility should be a consideration in the use of the teaching methods

Components 4 Curriculum Evaluation

All curricula, to be effective, must have the element of evaluation (Worthen & sanders, 1987),
Curriculum evaluation refers to the formal determination of the quality, effectiveness or value
of the program process, and product of the curriculum. Evaluation is meeting the goals and
matching them with the intended outcomes

The CIPP Models by Stufflebeam

CIPP - Context-Input-Process- Product. The Process is continuous and very important to
curriculum managers, like principals, supervisors, department heads, deans and even teachers.
o Context - refers to the environment of the curriculum, the real situation where the
curriculum is operating. Context evaluation refers to situation analysis.
o Input - refers to the elements of the curriculum, which include the goals, instructional
strategies, the learners, the teachers, the contents and all the materials needed
o Process - refers to the ways and means of how the curriculum has been implemented.
This component of the CIPP looks into the entire operation of the curriculum.
o Product - indicates if the curriculum accomplishes its goals. It will determine to what
extent the curriculum objectives have been achieved.

Within the evaluation process, smaller and more specific activities are needed to determine
the effectiveness of the curriculum. It includes assessment and measurement of learning
outcomes, the ultimate product of a curriculum. Methods include diagnostic; placement;
formulative or summative assessments or non-reference or criterion referenced measurement.
The components of a curriculum are distinct but are interrelated to one another as shown in
the following figure.

CRAFTING AND DEVELOPING THE CURRICULUM

Development connotes changes which are systematic. A change for the better means any
alteration, modification or improvement of existing condition. To produce positive changes,
development should be purposeful, planned and progressive. This is how curriculum evolves,
Some authors define curriculum as the total effort of the school to bring about desired
outcomes in the school and out-of-school situations. It is also defined as a sequence of
potential experiences set up in school for the purpose of disciplining children and youth in
group ways of thinking and acting Howel and Evans (1995) define curriculum as standard set
of learning outcomes or task that educators usually call goals and objectives, while other
writers define curriculum as” the what of teaching”, or listing of subjects to be taught in
school.

Curriculum is a document which describes as structured series of learning objectives and

outcomes for a given subject matter/ area. It includes a specification of what should be
learned, how it should be taught, and the plan for implementing/ assessing the learning.
Curriculum Development, therefore, may be defines as the process of selecting, organizing,
executing and evaluating the learning experiences on the basis of the nature of the society or
community. It is a continuous process for the possibilities of improving the teaching-learning
situation. Its goal is a positive change; process and transformation in the lives of the learners
based on the schools mission and goals.

MODELS OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

Ralph Tyler Model (also known as Tyler’s Rationale)\he posited forum fundamental questions
or principles in examining any curriculum:
 1. What educational purposes should schools seek to attain?
2. What educational experiences can be provided that is likely to attain these purposes?
3. How can these educational experiences can be effectively organized?
4. How can we determine whether these purposes are being attained or not?

Tyler’s Model shows that in the curriculum development the following considerations
should be made”
1. Purpose of the school
2. Educational experiences related to the purpose
3. Organization of the experiences
4. Evaluation of the experiences/ outcomes

Hilda Taba Model - She improved on Tyler’s Rationale by making a linear model. She
believes that teachers who teach or implement the curriculum should participate in developing
it. Her advocacy was called the “grassroots approach”

Presented seven majors steps her model, where teachers could have a major input.
1. Diagnosis of learners needs and expectations of the larger society
2. Formulation of learning objectives
3. Selection of the learning content
4. Organization of the learning content
5. Selection of the learning experiences
6. Organization of learning activities
7. Determination of what to evaluate and the means of doing it.

Thus, looking at the curriculum models, the three interacting process in curriculum development are:
(1)planning; (2) implementing; and (3) evaluating.

The Francis Hunkin’s Decision - Making Model

What sets this model a part is its recommended first stage of curricular decision-making. The
first stage requires that participants to engage in deliberation regarding the nature curriculum
and also its
educational and social political value.
This approach addresses the concerns of reconceptualists, of putting stress on the
understanding the nature and power of curriculum

The Model has seven major stages:

1. Curriculum conceptualization and legitimization
2. Diagnosis
3. Content selection
4. Experience selection
5. Implementation
6. Evaluation
7. Maintenance

CURRICULUM DESIGN MODELS

1. Subject-Centered Design model - focuses on the content of the curriculum. Corresponds
mostly to the textbook written for the specific subject. In this design, schools divided the
school hours across different subjects.
 Subject Design - this is the oldest and so far the most familiar for teachers, parents and
other layman. It is easy to deliver, has complementary books, written, and available
support instructional materials. The drawback is that learning is so
compartmentalized. It stresses the content so much that it forgets about student’s
natural tendencies, interests and experiences.
 Discipline Design. Related to the subject design, but focuses on academic discipline. It
is often used in college.
 Correlation Design - This comes from a core, correlated curriculum designs that links
separate subject’s designs in order to reduce fragmentation. Subjects related to one
another, but each subject maintains identity.
 Broad Field design/interdisciplinary - it is variation of the subject-centered design.
This design was made to prevent the compartmentalization of subjects and integrate
the contents that are related to each other. It sometimes called a holistic curriculum
because it draws around themes and integration.

2. Learner-Centered Design - Among the progressive educational psychologists, the

learner is the center of the educative process. The emphasis is very strong in the
elementary level. However, more concern has been placed on the secondary and even the
tertiary level. In high school, the subject or content has become the focus and in the
college level, the discipline is the center. Both levels, however still recognize the
importance of the learner in the curriculum.
 Child-centered Design - attributed to the influence of John Dewey, Rouseau,
Pestallozi, and Froebel. The curriculum is anchored on the needs and interest of the
child. This is not considered as a passive individual, but as on, who engages with
his/her environment. One learns by doing. Learners actively create and construct
meaning and understanding as viewed by the constructivists. Learners interact with
the teachers and environment. Thus, there is a collaborative effort on both sides of the
plan lessons, select content, and do activities together. Learning is the product of the
child’s interaction with the environment.
 Experienced-Centered Design - This is similar to child-centered design. Although the
child remains to be the focus, experience-centered design believes that the interests
and needs of the learners cannot be pre-planned. Instead, experiences of the learners
become the starting point of the curriculum. Thus, the school environment is left open
and free. Learners are made to choose from various activities that the teacher
provides. The learners are empowered to shape their own learning from different
opportunities given by the teacher. The emergence of multiple intelligence blends
well with experience-centered design curriculum.
 Humanistic Design - The key personalities in this curriculum design were Abraham
Maslow and Carl Rogers. Maslow’s theory of self-actualization explains that a person
who achieves this level is accepting of self, others and nature; is simple, spontaneous
and natural; is open to different experiences; possesses empathy and sympathy
towards the less fortunate, among many others, Carl Rogers, on the other hand,
believed that a person can enhance self-directed learning by improving self-
understanding and basic attitudes to guide behavior. In the humanistic curriculum
design, the development of self is the ultimate obje4ctice of learning. It stresses the
development of positive self-concept and interpersonal skills.
 3. Problem – Centered Design- Generally, this design draws on social problems, needs,
interests, and abilities of the learners. Various problems are given emphases. In this
curriculum, content cuts across subject boundaries and must be based on the needs,
concerns and abilities of the students.
 Life-Situation Design - The contents are organized in ways that allow the students to
clarify view problem areas. It uses the past and the present experiences of learners as
a means to analyze the basic areas of living.
 Core Design - It centers on general education, and the problems are based on common
human activities. The central focus of the core design includes common needs,
problems, and concerns of the learners.

Dimensions of Principles of Curriculum design

 SCOPE - Tyler and Omstein (2004) define scopes as all the content, topics, learning
experiences and organizing threads comprising the educational plan. It refers to the
coverage of the curriculum. It is the depth and breadth of the curriculum. It includes
time, diversity and maturity of the learners.
 BALANCE - Curriculum content should be fairly distributed in depth and breadth of
the particular learning area of discipline. This will ensure that the level or are will not
be overcrowded or less crowded.
 ARCTICULATION - When each subject matter is smoothly connected to the next,
glaring gaps and wasteful overlaps in the subject matter will be avoided. Teamwork
among the teachers will enhance articulation of contents in the curriculum.
 SEQUENCE - It is the logical arrangement of the subject matter. It refers to the
deepening and broadening of the contest as it is taken up in the higher levels.
 INTEGRATION - the horizontal connections are needed in subject areas that are
similar, so that learning will be related to one another. This will help the learner get a
holistic or unified view of reality outlook in life.
 CONTINUITY - The content repetition, review and reinforcement of learning is what is
referred to as continuity. Learning requires a continuing application of new
knowledge, skills, and attitudes or values, so that these will be used in daily living.

Curriculum Approaches
 Behavioral Approach - Anchored on the behaviorist principles, where approach to
curriculum is usually based on a blue print. In the blueprint, goals and objectives are
specified, and contents and activities are also arranged to match with the learning
objectives. The learning outcomes are evaluated in terms of goals and objectives set at
the beginning. This approach begins with educational plans that start with the setting
of goals or objectives. These are the important ingredients in curriculum
implementation for evaluating the learning outcomes as a change of behavior. The
change of behavior indicates the measure of accomplishment.
 Managerial Approach - The principal is the curriculum leader and at the same time
instructional leader, who is supposed to be the general manager. The general manager
sets the policies and priorities and establishes the direction of change and innovation,
and plans and organizes curriculum and instruction. School administrators are less
concerned about the content than about organization and implementation. They are
less concerned about subject matter, methods and materials than improving the
curriculum. Curriculum managers look at curriculum changes and innovations as they
administer the resources and restructure the schools
  System Approach - This was influenced by systems theory, where the parts of the total
school district or school are determined in terms of how they relate to each other. The
organizational chart of the school represents s systems approach. It shows the line-staff
relationships of personal and how decisions are made. The following are equal
importance:
(1) Administration, (2) counseling, (3) curriculum, (4) instruction and (5) evaluation.
 Humanistic Approach - This approach is rooted in the progressive philosophy and
child- centered movement. It considers the formal or planned curriculum and the
formal or hidden curriculum. It considers the whole child and believes that in a
curriculum, the total development of the individual is the prime consideration. The
learner is at the center of the curriculum.

The Six (6) Features of a Curriculum

1. Who teachers- The Teacher
2. Who do Teachers Teach- The Learners
3. What do the Teachers Teach- Knowledge Skills and Values
4. How to the Teachers Teach- Strategies and Methods
5. How much of the Teaching was Learned- Performance
6. With whom do we Teach- Community Partners

IMPLEMENTING THE CURRICULUM

In Curriculum development, the teaching and learning are actions necessary to accomplish a
goal in education. What is the role of teaching in curriculum development? So, what is
learning in the curriculum development?

Teaching as process in Curriculum

The process of teaching replicates the process of curriculum development. The
implementation phase of curriculum development is the actual teaching and experiencing of
curriculum, as shown in
Figure 2

Feedback and Reflections

• Planning Phase - includes decisions about: (a) the needs of the learners; (b) the
achievable goals and objectives to meet the needs; (c) the selection of the content to
be taught; (d) the motivation to carry out the goals; (e) the strategies most fit to carry
out the goals; and (f) the evaluation process to measure learning outcomes
• Implementation Phase - requires the teacher to implement what has been planned.
• Evaluation Phase - a match of the objectives with learning outcomes will be determined.
• Process of Feedback and Reflection - to give information as to whether the three
phases were appropriately done and elicited good results.

Roles of Stakeholders in Curriculum Implementation

Stakeholders are individuals or institution that are interested in the school curriculum. Their
interest varies in degree and complexity. They get involved in many different ways in the
implementation
because the curriculum affects them directly or indirectly.
 Learners at the Center of the Curriculum - These learners are the very reason why
curriculum is developed.
  Teachers as Curriculum Developers and Implementers - Planning and writing the
curriculum are the primary roles of the teacher. The teachers writes a curriculum
regularly through a lesson plan, a unit plan or a yearly plan. He prepares the activities
for the students to do. The teacher addresses the goals, needs, and interest of the
learners by creating experiences from where the students can learn. He designs,
enriches, and modifies the curriculum to suit the learners’ characteristics.” No
technology can ever replace a teacher, it will only support the multifaceted role of the
teacher.”
 Curriculum Managers and Administrators - They are people who are responsible in
the formulation of the school’s vision, philosophy, mission and objectives. They
provide necessary leadership in evaluating teaching personnel and school programs.
The principle of command responsibility and institutional leadership rests on the
shoulders of the school administrators.
 Parents as Supporters to the curriculum - Parents are the best supporters of the school,
especially because they are the ones paying for their child’s education. Hence, they
want to get the best of his/her investment in education. This has an implication to what
kind if curriculum is being offered in the school.
 Community Members as Curriculum Resources - Community members and materials
in the existing local community can very well substitute for what are needed to
implement the curriculum. Respected community members may be included in school
boards; some can become resource speakers, etc.
 Other Stakeholders in Curriculum Implementation - Professional organizations like
those of teachers, lawyers, medical doctors, engineers and many others are asked by
curriculum specialists to contribute in curriculum review because they have a voice in
licensure examinations, curriculum enhancement and many more. Often, they have a
better view of the industry where the graduates of the curriculum go.

The role of Technology in Implementing the Curriculum

Technological changes in education make its impact on the delivery of more effective,
efficient and humanizing teaching-and-learning. Increase in the use of information and
communication technology
or ICT is an explosive trend that made it influence education, Educational technology has the
following roles in delivering the school curriculum’s instructional program.
• Upgrading the quality of teaching-and-learning in schools
• Increasing the capability if the teacher to effectively inculcate learning, and for
students to gain mastery of lessons and courses.
• Broadening the delivery of education outside schools through non-traditional
approaches to formal and informal learning such as open universities and lifelong
learning to adult learners.
• Revolutionizing the use of technology to boost educational paradigm shifts that give
importance to student- centered and holistic learning.

Pilot Testing, Monitoring and Evaluating the Implementation of the Curriculum

• Pilot testing - this is a process where empirical data are gathered to support whether
the material or the curriculum is useful, relevant, reliable and valid
• Monitoring - is a periodic assessment and adjustment during the try out period. It
determines how the curriculum is working so that the monitoring report becomes the
basis of decision on what aspects have to be retained, improved or modified.
 • Curriculum Evaluation - as part of total educational evaluation refers to a systematic
process of judging the value, effectiveness and adequacy of a curriculum. It is a
process, product and setting which will lead to informed decisions.

There are two ways of curriculum evaluation

(1) School-Based Evaluation (SBE) - an approach to curriculum evaluation which places
the content, design, operation, and maintenance of evaluation procedure in the hands
of school personnel.
(2) Accreditation-this is a voluntary process of submitting a curricular program to an
external accrediting body foe review in any level of education: basic, tertiary or
graduate school, to ensure that standards are met. Accreditation studies the statement
of the educational intentions of school and affirms the standard of excellence.

ASSESSING/EVALUATING THE CURRICULUM

Curriculum assessment may achieve the following purposes:
1. Highlight curriculum expectations;
2. Gather information about what students know and can do,
3. Motivate and encourage teachers to meet the identifies needs of students
4. Provide evidence to tell how well the students have learned ; and
5. Obtain feedback that helps teachers, students and parents make good decisions to
guide instruction

Intended Curriculum - refers to a set of objectives identified set at the beginning of any
curricular plan. It establishes the goal, the specific purposes, and the immediate objectives to
be accomplished. The intended curriculum specifies what the curriculum maker wants to do.

Implemented Curriculum - refers to the various learning activities or experiences of the

students in order to achieve the intended curricular outcomes.

Achieved curriculum - refers to the curriculum outcomes based on the first two types of
curriculum, the intended and implemented. The achieved curriculum is considered the
product. It can be the learning outcomes, or a material product itself, like a book, modules or
instructional material.

What is evaluation? Evaluation is the process of determining the value of something or the
extent to which goals are being achieved. It is a process of making decisions or reaching a
conclusion. It involves decision making about student performance based on information
obtained from assessment process. Assessment id the process of collecting information by
reviewing the products of student works, interviewing, observing or testing.

Evaluation is the process if using information that is collected through assessment. The
ultimate purpose of any evaluation process that takes place in schools is to improve student
learning. It entails a reasoning process that is based on inference. Inference, which the process
of arriving at a logical conclusion from a body of evidence. Inference usually refers to the
process of developing a conclusion on the basis of some phenomenon that is not experienced
or observed directly by the person drawing inference.
110
Evaluation is thoughtful process, used to understand things. Evaluation has been defined is a
variety of ways, all of which have at their core the idea of comparison. When we evaluate, we
make comparison between things, not the differences, summarize our findings and draw
conclusion about results.

Evaluation is the judgment made about the assessments of students learning based on
established criteria. It involves a process of integrating information from various sources and
using this information to make inferences and judgments about how well the students have
achieved curriculum expectations. Evaluation involves placing a value on and determining the
worth of student’s assessment. Evaluation is usually made so that progress can be
communicated to students and parents.
Evaluation provides information
• Directly to the learner for guidance
• Directly to the teacher for orientation of the next instruction activities; and
• Directly to external agencies for their assessment of schools functioning in the light of
national purpose.

What is Curriculum Evaluation? Curriculum Evaluation is the process of obtaining

information for judging the worth of an educational program, product, procedure, educational
objectives or the potential utility of alternative approaches designed to attain specified
objectives,

Curriculum evaluation focuses on determining whether the curriculum as recorded in the

master plan has been carried out in the classroom. In evaluating a curriculum, the following
key questions are usually asked:
1. Are the objectives being addressed?
2. Are the contents presented in the recommended sequence?
3. Are the students being involved in the suggested instructional experiences?
4. Are the students reaching to the contents?

Suggested Plan of Action for Curriculum Evaluation

1. Focus in one particular component of the curriculum. Will it be the subject area, the
grade level, the course or the degree program? Specify the objectives of evaluation.
2. Collect or gather the information is made up of data needed regarding the object of
evaluation
3. Organize the information. This step will require coding, organizing, strong and
retrieving data for interpretation
4. Analyze information. An appropriate way of analyzing will be utilized
5. Report information. The result of evaluation should be reported to specific audiences
6. Reporting can be done formally in conferences with stakeholders, or informal through
roundtable discussion and conversation.
7. Recycle the information for continuous feedback, modification and adjustments to be made.

CURRICULUM INNOVATION
Innovations are inevitable as man continues to seek for development. With the demand
brought about by the fast-changing society. It is most likely that innovations will occur. In
curriculum, changes and modifications are being introduced to keep pace with the changing
111
world. With emerging

112
theories of learning, instructional delivery and management, learning and teaching styles,
modes of living and other societal changes in science and technology led educator to
introduce innovations.

Local and National Curricular Innovations

1. The 2002 Basic Education Curriculum
The Vision, Mission, and Rationale of the Curriculum
The Department of Education envisions every learner to be functionally literate
equipped with life skills, appreciative of arts and sports and imbued with the desirable
values of a person who is makabayan, makatao, makakalikasan at maka- Diyos.
This vision is in line with DepEds’ mission to provide quality basic education that is
equitably accessible to all and lays the foundation for lifelong learning and service for
the common good.
The BEC was developed through a dynamic process. It started with the review of the
existing basic education curriculum in 1997, which look into consideration worldwide
trends and Philippine realties.
Integrative Teaching as Mode of Instructional Deliver
Integrative teaching works best in the BEC because the curriculum is treated in a
holistic manner.

The process is interactive, collaborative and innovative.

• Thematic Teaching - requires organization of themes around ideas. The theme
provide focus and helps learners to see the meaningful connections across subject
areas. It links ideas to actions and learning to life.
• Content- Based Instruction (CBI) - it is the integration of content learning with
language teaching. The language curriculum centered on the academic needs and
interests of the learners. Thus, it crosses the barriers between language and subject
matter content. This approach aims at developing the learner’s language skills.
• Focusing inquiry - it is an interdisciplinary approach that uses questions to
organize learning. Learners become creators rather than recipients of knowledge.
Contents and concepts are given less importance than the process of conducting
an investigation and communicating what was learned to others. Instructional
process is built around inquiry, where teachers guide the students to discover
answers to questions. Using what learners already know as a starting point, they
generate questions about things they do not know yet. The design a method of
investigation and gather information on their own.
• Generic Competency Model - the learners are enrolled in three to four linked or
related courses or subject areas. In Makabayan, for instance, competencies subject
and can be clustered into personal development, social competencies and work
and special skills, the subject specialist teaches his/her subject and activities will
draw on processes and skills important to each discipline.

2. Third Elementary Education Program

Begun in 1996 and concluded in 2005 it was funded by the WB and JBIC, in response
to the Social Reform Agenda of the government. It is focused only on the elementary
level with the goal to improve learning achievement; improve completion rates and
access to quality elementary education.
 Advocacies:
In- service Training for Teachers (INSET); school improvement and innovation
Facility ;( SIIF) Student Assessment ;( SA), Educational Management Information
System (E-MS); Procurement and Monitoring Evaluation; Principal Empowerment

3. Secondary Education Development and Improvement Program (SEDIP)

It is a curriculum innovation that dovetailed the TEEP. It started in 2000 and ended in
2006. Its purpose is to improve equitable access to secondary education in poverty
affected areas.

Curriculum Reforms revolved around;

(a)Improving Teaching and Learning; (b) Improving Access to Secondary Education;
(c) Facilitating Decentralized Secondary Education Management.

4. The New Teacher Education Curriculum for BEED and BSED - Implemented by CMO 30,s 2004
• There are two streams in Basic Education; BEED- structured to meet the need of
professional teachers for elementary and special education program; and the
BSED- need of professional teachers in the high school in the Philippines
• The Curriculum is aligned to the National Competency-Based Teachers Standards
(NCBTS)
• It is made up of three components- (1) General Education (2) Professional
Education (3) Specialization or content courses.

5. The Ladderized Curriculum for Bachelor of Technical Teacher Education (BTTE)

• The BTTE prepares teachers in technical-vocational education and training
(TVET) and higher education institutions that are equipped not only with strong
theoretical understanding of teaching and technology but also with exposure to
industry
• The course is composed of four components;
– General education- consistent with CMO 59
– Professional Studies component
– Specialization component, and
– Instructional Technology component

6. Understanding the Design (ubD) - Based Curriculum

• UbD is a framework for improving student achievement and was designed by
internally recognized educators Grant Wiggins and Jay Mctighe, published bu
ASCD
• The emphasis on” Backward Design”.
• It is a tool utilized for educational planning focused on teaching for understanding
• It works within the” standard-driven curriculum” to help teachers clarify learning
goals, device revealing assessment of students understanding and craft effective
and engaging learning activities.

Understanding by Design (UbD) Based Curriculum

Begun as early as 2007 and was formally implemented in the Philippines thru the 2010
Secondary Education Curriculum.
3 Stages of ‘Backward Design”
 1. Stage 1 - identifying Results/Desired Outcomes (Content/Performance Standards,
Essential Understanding, Objectives- KSA, Essential Questions)
2. Stage 2 - Defining Acceptable Evidence/Assessment (Product/ Performance,
Assessment Criteria/Tools) Six Facets of Understanding (Explain, Interpret. Apply
Perspective, Empathy, Self-knowledge
3. Stage 3 - Learning Plan/Instruction (WHERTO)

W - Where us the unit going? What is expected? Where are the students coming
from? H - Hooks all students and holds their interest
E - Equipped students, help them experience the key idea an explore the
issue R - Rethink
E-
Evaluate T
- Tailors
O - Organize

K - 12 Basic Education Curriculum

Republic Act 1053 (may 15, 2013): The Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013’
– The overall Goal of the K to 12 Curriculum
o Kindergarten +(6) six years primary education +(4) four years of junior high school
+(2) two years senior high school
o Salient Features of the K-12 Curriculum
– Strengthening Early Childhood Education ( Universal Kindergarten)
– Making the Curriculum Relevant to the Learners ( Contextualization and Enhancement)
– Ensuring integrated and Seamless Learning ( spiral Progression)
– Building Proficiency Through Language ( Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education)
– Gearing Up for the Future ( Senior High School)
– Nurturing the Historically Developed ( College and Livelihood Readiness, 21st Century Skills)

Brain Based Learning (BBL)

• It is an approach to teaching based on research in neuroscience
• It suggests that the brain learns naturally
• This techniques allows teachers to connect learning to students real life experiences
• This kind of learning encompasses education concepts like
- Mastery learning
- Problem-based learning
- Cooperative education
- Multiple intelligence
- Learning styles
- Experimental learning

Emerging Interactive Teaching Elements from BBL

• Orchestrated Immersion - Learning environment are created to provide authentic
learning experiences. Ex. In the elementary level, teachers can use the school’s
manifest to identify trees, animals and other plants and find out how they live together.
• Relaxed Alertness - in BBL, efforts are made to eliminate fear while maintaining a
highly challenging environment. Ex. Teachers may play classical music when
appropriate to set a
 relaxed tone in the classroom. Bright lights are dimmed. Scented candles are lit to
calm the senses. All learners are accepted regardless of their various learning styles,
capabilities and liabilities. This will provide a relaxed and accepting environment.
Children are motivated to bring the best of them and bring out their potential

OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION (OBE)

OBE is an approach to education in which decisions about the curriculum are driven by the
exit learning outcomes that the students should display at the end of the course. In OBE,
Product defines Process. It can be summed up as “results-oriented thinking”
Learning Outcome-Oriented Teaching and Learning?

The Bologna Process

• Quality assurance in the higher education
• A unifies educational system (mobility, transparency, and mutual recognition of
qualifications)
• Revise curricula; integrate student-centeredness and learning outcomes orientation
• Pedagogical issue became central, along with the alignment of teaching and
assessment methods in accordance with learning outcomes
Experiential Learning Courses (ELC)
• This is anchored on the NCBTS in CMO, 30, 2004
• This feature of the new teacher education curriculum provides students with rich
practical learning experiences which are drawn out from the actual environment.
• Field study courses enable the students to observe, verify and reflect on various events
which relate to the concepts, methods and strategies previously learned
• These courses provide opportunities to capture other experiences which can be further
verified, confirmed and reflected on in relation to their becoming a teacher
Field Study Course Experiential Learning
• (FS1) Learner’s Development an Environment
• (FS2) Experiencing the Teaching-Learning Process
• (FS3) Technology in the Learning Environment
• (FS4) Understanding Curriculum Development
• (FS5) Learning Assessment Strategies
• (FS6) On Becoming a Teacher

Practice Teaching (Student Teaching) - this is the apex of all the ELCs. It is the total
immersion of the prospective teacher in the real-life of becoming a teacher. It is an integrated
theoretical framework that defines the different dimensions of effective teaching.

NCBTS define good teaching through the following:

- Domains - distinctive spheres of the learning process, and also a well-defined arena
for demonstrating positive teacher practices
- Strands - specific dimensions of positive teacher practices under the broad conceptual
domain
- Indicators - concrete, observable, and measurable teacher behaviors, actions, habits,
routines, and practices know to create, facilitate and support enhanced student
learning.
The & domains of the NCBTS Framework
 - Social Regard for Learning
- The Learning Environment
- Diversity of Learners
- Curriculum
- Planning , Assessing and Reporting
- Personal Growth & Professional Development

This Framework will allow teachers to self-assess their own performance against the
Competency Standards in order to identify area of strength, as well as areas that need to be
developed further in order for them more effectively as facilitators of learning.

Domain 1 Social Regard for Learning (SRFL)

This domain focuses on the ideal that teachers serve as positive and powerful role models of
the value in the pursuit of different types of social interactions with students exemplify this
ideal.

Domain 2 Learning Environment (LE)

This domain focuses on importance of providing a social, psychological and physical
environment within which all students, regardless of their individual differences in
learning, can engage in the
different learning activities and work towards attaining high standards of learning.

Domain 3 Diversity of Learners (DOL)

The DOL domain emphasizes the ideal that teachers can facilitate the learning process even
with diverse learners, by recognizing and respecting individual differences and by using
knowledge about
their differences to design diverse sets of learning activities, to ensure that all learners can attain the
desired learning goals

Domain 4 Curriculum (Curr)

The curriculum domain refers to all elements of the teaching-learning process that work in the
convergence to help students achieve their curricular goals and objectives, and to
attain high
standards of learning defines in the curriculum. These elements include teacher’s knowledge of the
subject matter and the learning process.

Domain 5 Planning, Assessing & Reporting (PAR)

This domain refers to the alignment of assessment and planning activities. In particular, the
PAR focuses on the (1) use of assessment data to plan and revise teaching-learning plans; (2)
integration
of assessment procedures in the plan and implementation of teaching-learning activities; and (3)
reporting of the learners actual achievement and behavior

Domain 6 Community Linkages (CL)

The CL domain refers to the ideal that classroom activities are meaningfully linked to the
experiences and aspirations of the learners in their homes and communities. This, this
domain focuses on
teachers’ efforts directed at strengthening the links between schools and communities to help in the
attainment of the curricular goals.

Domain 7 Personal Growth & Professional Development (PGD)

The PGD domain emphasizes that ideal that teacher’s value having a high personal regards for
the teaching profession, concern for professional development, and continuous improvement
as teachers.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
Technology came from Greek word” techne”, which means craft or art. The term Educational
Technology refers to the art of craft of responding to our educational needs. Another word
“technique”, with the same origin, also may be used when considering the field educational
technology, So, Educational Technology may be extended to include the techniques of the
educator. Technology is not just machines. It is a planned systematic method of working to
achieve planned outcomes-a process, not a product, Technology refers to “all the ways people
use their inventions and discoveries to satisfy their needs and desires” (The world Book
encyclopedia). Hence, Educational Technology refers to how people use their inventions and
discoveries to satisfy their educational needs and desires. I.e. learning.

Educational Technology
 Educational Technology is a “ complex, integrated process involving people,
procedures, ideas, devices, and organizations to those problems involved in all aspects
of human learning, “(AECT, 1977, as cited in Corpus & Lucido, 2008)
 Educational Technology “consist of the designs and environments that engage
learners… and reliable technique or method for engaging learning such as cognitive
learning such as cognitive learning strategies and critical thinking skills”
 Educational Technology is “a field study which is concerned with the practice of using
educational methods and resources for the ultimate goal for facilitating the learning
process.
 Educational Technology, sometimes termed ad “Ed Tech”, is the study and ethical
practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and
managing appropriate technological processes and resources.
 Educational Technology includes, but is not limited to, software, hardware, as well as
internet applications, such as wikis and blogs, and activities.
  The term Educational Technology is often associated with, and encompasses,
instructional theory and learning theory.
 Educational Technology implies the use of all educational resources… men and
materials, methods and techniques, means and media in an integrated and systematic
manner for optimizing learning.
 According to modern educationists, learning not teaching is the crucial task of the
entire educational processes and emphasis of teachers is regarded as a system which
facilitates learning and makes learning effective as well as efficient. It is efficient in
the sense that the learning with the use of Educational Technology becomes easy and
interesting, durable and comprehensive.

Educational Technology in a Broader Perception:

 In its global sense, it includes the entire process of setting of goals, the continuous
reforms of curriculum, the tryout of new methods and materials, the evaluation of the
system as an integrated whole and resetting of goals in the basis of the findings if
evaluation and innovation.
 It is the component of curriculum reform concerned with the method where curriculum
reform is concerned with the content.
 It is the application of scientific knowledge about learning and the conditions of
learning to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching and training.

From the foregoing definitions of educational technology, it can be said that it is a very broad
term. It is the application of scientific findings in the method, process or procedure of working
in the field of education in order to effect learning. It embraces curriculum and instructional
design, learning environment, and theories of teaching-learning. It is the use of all human
inventions for teachers their mission to teach in order that students learn.

Technology in Education versus Technology of Education

 Technology in Education is concerned with the equipment, preparation of ad hoc
messages and integration with traditional teacher-centered activities.
 Technology Education is the most simply and comfortably defines as an array of tools
that may prove helpful in advancing student learning and may be measured in how and
why individuals behave.
 Technology in Education is the” application of technology to any of the processes
involved in operating the institutions which house the educational enterprise. It
includes the application of technology to food, health, finance, scheduling, grade,
reporting and other processes which support education within institutions

Technology of Education
Technology of Education deals with the active use of mass media and computer science for
the individual pupils learning process under the teacher’s supervision. This is more scientific,
more
psychological and more pedagogical than technology in education.

Technology in Education will be useful if it is properly planned and organized on

psychological principles. Henri Dieuzeide (1970) has rightly observed,” The Transition from
technology in education to the technology of education involves a thorough appraisal of
existing educational system, of its
objectives and of the means used to attain them, before any decision is reached to employ
these new techniques for specific teaching purposes. The Teacher-turned technologist can then
gradually assume the functions of an educational engineer, whose job is to increase the output
of the entire scholastic machine.

Other Terms Associated with Educational Technology:

Instructional Technology - is a part of educational technology. It refers to those aspects of
educational technology that are concerned with instruction as contrasted to designs and
operations
of educational institutions. Instructional technology is a systematic way of designing, carrying out,
and evaluating the total process of learning and teaching in terms of specific objectives.

Technology Integration - means using learning technologies to introduce, reinforce,

supplement and extend skills

Educational Media - are channels or avenues or instruments of communication like books,

magazines, newspapers, radio, television, internet, and other hardware.

IN SUMMARY, Corpuz and Lucido (2008) clarify that Educational Technology is a broad
term which is oftentimes given a narrow meaning, to mean just hardware. However according
to him:
• It refers to the use of all human inventions and discoveries to satisfy educational needs
and desired, like LEARNING.
• Inventions and discoveries can be devices, tools, equipment, activities, procedures and
processes.
• Included among human inventions are the various educational media.
• Educational technology is more than instructional technology in the same way that
education is more than instruction.
• Technology integration is a part of instructional technology which, in turn is part of
education technology, and
• Technology education is different for Technology in Education. The latter refers to the
application of technology in the operational education while the former refers to the
application of technology in the educative process that takes place in such education
institutions.

Evolution of Educational Technology

Educational Technology can be back to the emergence of very early tools, like paintings on
cave walls. Usually, however, its history starts with the introduction of educational films
(1900s) or Sidney
Pressey’s mechanical teaching machines in the 1920s.
 Use of the new technology during US WWII training of soldiers through training films
and other mediated materials. Today, presentation-based technology, based on the idea
that people can learn through aural and visual perception, exist in many forms, such as
streaming audio and video, or Power Point presentation with voice over.

The 1950s led to two major, still popular designs:

 Programmed Instruction (by Skinner): focusing on the formulation of behavioral
objective, breaking instructional content into small units, and rewarding correct
responses early and often.
 Bloom advocated a mastery approach to learning based in his taxonomy of intellectual
behaviors. He endorsed instructional techniques that varied both instruction and time
according to learner requirements. Models based on these designs were usually referred
to as computer-based training (CBT), computer-aided instruction or computer assisted
instruction (CAI) in the 1970s through the 1990s. in a more simplified form, the
correspond to today’s “e- contents” that often form the core of “e-learning “set ups,
sometimes also referred to as web- based training (WBT) or e-instruction. The course
designer divides learning contents into smaller chunks of text augmented with graphics
and multimedia presentation. Frequent multiple-choice questions with immediate
feedback are added foe self-assessment and guidance.

The 1980s and 1990s

 Computer- based learning (CBL). Frequently on constructivist learning theories, these
environment focus on both abstract and domain specific problem solving. Preferred
technologies include macro-worlds (computer environments where learner could explore
and build), simulations (computer environments where learner can play with parameters
of dynamic systems), and hypertext.
 In the mid-1980s, digitalized communication and networking in education started and
became popular by the mid-90s, in particular through the World-Wide Web (WWW), e-
mail and forums.
 There is a difference between two major forms of line learning. The earlier type, based
on either Computer Based Training (CBT) or Computer Based Learning (CBL)m
focused in the interaction between the student or and computer drills, plus tutorial on the
one hand or micro- worlds and simulations on the other. Both can be delivered today
over the WWW.
 Today, the prevailing paradigm in the regular school system is Computer-Mediated
Communication (CMC), where the primary form of interaction is between students and
instructors, mediated by the computer. CBT/CBL usually means individualized (self-
study) learning, while CMC involves teacher/tutor facilitation and requires
schematization of flexible learning activities. In addition, modern ICT provides
education with tools for sustaining communities and associated knowledge management
tasks. It also provides tools for students and curriculum management.
 In addition to classroom enhancement, learning technologies also play a major role in
full-time distance teaching. While most quality offers still rely on papers videos and
occasional CBT/CBL materials, there is increased use of e-tutoring through forums,
instant messaging, video- conferencing, etc.
 Courses addressed to smaller groups frequently use blended or hybrid deigns that mix
presence courses (usually) in the beginning and at the end of a modules) with distance
activities and use various pedagogical styles (e.g. drill and practice, exercise, projects,
etc.)

The 2000s
 The emergence of multiple mobile and global technologies gave a new principle to
situated learning theories favoring learning-in-context scenarios. Some literature uses
the concept of integrated learning to describe blended learning scenarios that integrate
both school and authentic settings.

Perspective that Defines Educational Technology
1. Educational Technology as media and audiovisual communications

120
  The perspective grew out of the audiovisual (AV) movement in the 1930s, when
higher education instructors proposed that media such as slides and films delivered
information in more concrete, and therefore more effective, ways than lectures and
boos did.
 This movement produced audiovisual communications or the “branch of
educational theory and practice concerned primarily with the design and use of
messages that control the learning process
 The view of education technology ad media to deliver information continues to
dominate areas of education and the communications industry, as late as 1986, the
National Task Force in Educational Technology equated educational technology
with media, treating computers simply as another medium
2. Educational Technology as Instructional Systems and Instructional Designs
 This view originated form post0 World War II military and industrial trainers who
were faced with the problem of preparing a large number of personnel quickly,
Based on efficiency studies and learning theories from educational psychology,
they advocated using more planned systematic approaches to developing uniform
effective materials and training procedures.
 Their view was based on the belief that both human (teacher) and non-human
(media) resources can be part of an efficient system for addressing any
instructional need. Therefore, they equated “educational technology” with
education problem solutions
 As these training personnel began to work with both university research and
development projects and K-12 school, they also influenced practices in both of
these areas. Behaviorist theories initially dominated and cognitive theories later
gained performance
 In the 1990s, popular learning theories criticized systems approaches as being too
rigid to foster some kinds of learning- particularly high-order ones. Thus, the
current view of educational technology as instructional system is continually
evolving.
3. Educational Technology as vocational training
 Also known as Technology Education, this perspective originated form industry
trainers and vocational educators in the 1980s.
 The believed (1) that an important function if school learning us to prepare
students for the world of work in which they will use technology and (2) that
vocational training can be a practical means of teaching all content areas, such as
math, science and language.
 This view brought about a major paradigm shift in vocational training in K-
12nschools away from industrial arts curricula centered on woodworking/metals
and graphics/ printing shops toward technology education courses taught in labs
equipped with high- technology stations, such as desktop publishing, computer-
assisted designs (CAD)m and robotic systems.
4. Educational Technology as computer systems (a.k.a educational computing
instructional computing)
 This view began in the 1950s with the advent of computers, and gained momentum
when they began to used instructionally in the 1960s
 As computers began to transform business and industry practices, both trainers and
teachers began to see that computers also had the potentials to aid instruction.
121
From the time computers came into classrooms in the 1960s until about 1990, this
perspective was known as educational computing and encompassed both
instructional and administrative support applications.

122
  At first, programmers and systems analysis created all applications. Nut by the
1970s, many of the same educators involved with media, AV communications, and
instructional systems were also researching and developing computer applications
 By the 1990s, educators began computing became known as educational technology

Benefits Derived from Educational Technology

Educational Technology is intended to improve, education foe the 21st-century learner.
Situations today are considered” Digital Natives” who were born and raised in a digital
environment and
inherently think differently because of this exposure to technology. Here are some of the claimed
benefits of incorporating technology into classroom
A. Easy –to-access course materials. Instructors can post their course material or important
information on a course website, which means students can study at a time and location
they prefer and can obtain the study material very quickly.
B. Student Motivation. According to James Kulik, who studies the effectiveness of
computers used for instruction, “students usually learn more in less time when receiving
computer-based instruction and they like classes more and develop more positive
attitudes toward computers in computer-based classes”
C. Teachers must be aware of their students’ motivation in order to successfully implement
technology into the classroom. Students are more motivated to learn when are interested
in the subject matter, which can be enhanced by using technologies in the classroom and
targeting the needs for screens and digital materials that they have been stimulated by
outside of the classroom.
D. More opportunities for extended learning. According to student completed in 2010,
70.3% of American family households have access to the internet. According to the
Canadian Radio Television and Tele communications Commission. 79% of homes have
access to Internet. This allows the students to access course material at home and engage
with numerous online resources available to them. Student can use their computers and
Internet to conduct research, participate in social media, e-mail, and play educational
games and stream videos
E. Wide participation. Learning materials can be used for long-distance learning and are
accessible to a writer audience.
F. Improved student writing. It is convenient for students to edit their written work on word
processors. Which can, in turn, improve the quality of their writing. According to some
studies, the students are better at critiquing and editing written work that is exchanged
over a computer network with students they know.
G. Differential Instruction. Educational technology provides the means to focus on active
student’s participation and to present differentiated questioning strategies. It broadens
individualized instruction and promotes the development of personalized learning plans
in some computer programs available to teachers. Students are encouraged to use
multimedia components and incorporate the knowledge they gained in creative ways.
This allows some students to individually progress form using low-ordered skills gained
from drill and practice activities, to higher level thinking through applying concepts
creatively and creating simulations. The ability to make educational technology
individualized may aid in targeting and accommodating different learning styles and
levels.
 Learning Theories that Shaped Educational Technology
There are three (3) main theoretical schools or philosophical frameworks of educational
technology literature. These are Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism.
Behaviorism - this framework was developed in the early 20 th Century with the animal
learning experiments of Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, Edward C. Tolman, Clark Hull, B.F
Skinner, etc.

Cognitivism - learning theory has undergone a great deal of change since 1960’s and 1970s.
Cognitive theories look beyond behavior to explain Brain-based Learning. Cognitivists
consider how human memory works to promote learning

Constructivism - this is a learning theory of educational philosophy whose primary belief is

that “learners construct their own meaning from new information, as they interact with reality
or others with different perspectives.”

Constructivist learning environments require to use their prior knowledge and experiences to
formulate new, related, and/or adaptive concepts in learning. The role of the teachers in this
framework is to become facilitator providing guidance so that learners can construct their own
knowledge.

Dales Cone of Experience and the Three – Tiered Model of Learning by Bruner
Dale’s cone of Experience is a model that incorporates several theories related to instructional
design and learning process. During the 1960s, Edgar Dale theorized that learners retain
more information
by what they ‘do” as opposed to what is “heard,” read”, or” observed. “His research led to the
development of the Cone of Experience. Today, this “learning-by-doing” has become known
as “experiential learning” or action learning.

The implications of the Core of Experience in the teaching-learning process

1. Do not use only one medium of communication in isolation. Rather, use many
instructional materials to help the students conceptualize their experience
2. Avoid teaching directly at the symbolic level of thought without adequate foundation
of the concrete. Student’s concepts will lack deep roots in direct experience.
According to Dale (1969), these rootless experiences will not have generative power to
produce additional concepts and will not enable the learner to deal with the new
situations that he faces.
3. When teaching, don’t get stuck in concrete. Strive to bring your students to the
symbolic or abstract level to develop their higher-order thinking skills

The Three Tiered Model of Learning by Bruner

Harvard psychologist, Jerome S. Bruner presents a three –tiered model of learning. Where he
points out that every area of knowledge can be presented and learned in three distinct steps.

SYMBOLIC | ICONIC | ENACTIVE

It is highly recommended that a learner process from the ENACTIVE to the ICONIC, AND
ONLY after to the SYMBOLIC, The mind is often shocked into immediate abstraction at the
highest level without the benefit of gradual unfolding.
Roles of Educational Technology in Learning
Educational Technology plays various roles
 From the traditional point of view, it serves as presenter of knowledge just like
teachers. It also serves as productivity tool. With the internet, technology has
facilitated communication among people.
 From the constructivist perspective, educational technology is a meaningful learning
tool by serving a learning partner. It engages learners in” active, constructive,
intentional, authentic, and cooperative learning’

The following are the roles of technology in learning according to the constructivist
perspective.
 Technology as tool to support knowledge construction
For representing learners ideas, understandings and beliefs
For producing organized, multimedia knowledge bases by learners
 Technology as information vehicles for exploring knowledge to support learning by-
constructing.
For accessing needed information
For comparing perspectives, belief and world views
 Technology as context support learning-by-doing:
For preparing and simulating meaningful real-world problems, situations and contexts
For representing beliefs, perspectives, arguments, and stories of others
For defining a safe, controllable problem space for student thinking
 Technology as social medium to support learning by conversing:
For collaborating with others
For discussing, arguing, and building consensus among members of the community
For supporting discourse among knowledge-building communities
 Technology as intellectual partner to support learning by reflecting:
For helping learners to articulate and represent what the know
For reflecting on what they have learned and how they came to know it
For supporting learners internal negotiations and meaning making
For constructing personal representations of meaning
For supporting mindful thinking

Challenges of Technology in Education

The developments in the internet, the world-wide web in particular, and developments in
multimedia technology, are resulting in new approaches to designing and developing teaching
and learning in higher education. Here are some characteristics of such development as
described by Bates
 Increase flexibility and access to learning, resulting in new markets being reached, and
in particular, the lifelong learner market.
 The use of multimedia to develop psycho-motor and intellectual skills development,
including problem solving and decision making.
 The use of internet technologies to develop knowledge management and collaborative
learning skills; and
 The use of internet to develop global, multi-cultural courses and problems.

Why use technology?

Almost all people from different sectors of society offer a number of different reasons to
justify the use of technology for teaching and learning. Following are four (4) of the most
frequent reasons given for using technology;
 To improve access to education and training
 To improve the quality of learning
 To reduce the cost of education; and
 To improve the cost-effectiveness of education

New technologies are fundamentally changing the nature of knowledge. However, we still
need to maintain the balance between teaching and learning done through face –to-face
contact, and technology base learning.

Integrating technology with teaching means the use of learning technologies to introduce,
reinforce, supplement and extend skills. There is no integrative process if for example the
teacher makes students play computer games to give them a rest period during classes. Neither
is there integration, if the teacher merely teaches students computer skills. Following are
external manifestations of technology integration into instruction;
 There’s a change in the way classes are traditional conducted
 The quality of instruction is improved in such as a way that it could not have been
achieved without educational technology.
 There is planning by the teacher on the process of determining how and when
technology fits into teaching-learning process.
 The teacher sets instructional strategies to address specific instructional issues/problems
 The use of technology provides the opening of opportunities to respond to these
instructional issues/problem
 In sum, technology occupies a position (is a simple or complex way) in the
instructional process.

Levels of Integration
 Simple/Basic Integration- there is no substantial change in the teaching-learning
process form previous method. While technology helps, it does not play a pivotal role.
o Example: A teacher wants to show photos in her social studies class, but the
pictures are small. She decides to use the computer, scan the photos for computer
projection to the class. (A presentation software package)
o Result: Good class presentation followed by discussion
 Middle Level Integration- there is purposeful use of technology to support key learning areas.
o Example1: A teacher uses computer-based Trigonometry software, projected in
the class using a projector to supplement his teacher-centered class presentation
o Result: an interactive class using software
o Example2: A teacher ask her students to find information on H-fever in the
internet. Students are to create an information leaflet giving a family health tips
on H-Fever.
o Result: Creative skills are employed by students
 High-level Integration- in these examples, technology is the central instructional tool.
o Example 1: to provide information on the ASEAN Region, the teacher assigned a
newsletter computer production by the group
o Result: increased social skills through group work; planning, creatively, computer skills
 o Example2: The Rizal School has a partner school in the U.S.A a joint science
project allows, the Philippine and U.S, schools to exchange information on
indigenous herbal plants in both countries. Video conferencing is held involving
students of both schools.
o Result: A more sophisticated technology-supported project demonstrating global
communication and socially relevant research.
o A New Learning Environment through Application of Educational Technology
o “Effective teacher best interact with students in innovative learning activities,
while integrating technology to the teaching-learning process

Meaningful Learning - gives focus to new experiences that are related to what the learner
already knows. Students already have some knowledge that is relevant to the new learning.
Students are willing to perform class work to find connections between what they already
know and what they can learn.

Discovery Learning - Students perform tasks to uncover what is to be learned. New ideas and
new decisions are generated in the learning process, regardless of the need to move on and
depart from organized set of activities.

Generative Learning-learners are active, attend to learning events, generate meaning form
those experiences and draw inferences, thereby creating a personal model or explanation to
the new experiences in the context of existing knowledge.

Constructivism - the learner builds a personal understanding through appropriate learning

activities and a good learning environment. Learning consists of what a person can actively
assemble for himself and not what he can receive passively. The role of learning is to help the
individual live/ adapt to his personal world.

Through the integration of educational technology in the teaching-learning process, learners

have this four learning domains:
Learners:
 Are active ,purposeful learners
 Set personal goals and strategies to achieve these goals
 Make their learning experiences meaningful and relevant to their lives
 Seek to build an understanding of their personal words so they can work/live productively
 Build on what they already know in order to interpret and respond to new experiences.

The Computer as Tutor

The computer is a tutor in this new age of learning. It does not replace the teacher, although it
assumes certain roles previously assigned to teachers, who now has to take the new
roles of
facilitator and guide. Computers will become an integral component of the future classroom and not
a mere machine that can deliver routine drills and exercises.

Examples of Computer-assisted instructions (CAI)

 Simulation programs
 Instructional games
 Problem solving software
 Multimedia encyclopedia and electronic books
 Understanding Multimedia and Hypermedia
Multimedia- an audiovisual package that includes more than one instructional media (means
knowing), such as text, graphics, audio animation, and video clip. According to Moore.
It simple
means “multiple media or combination of media combined in a product whose purpose is to
communicate information.
Hypermedia- is multimedia packaged as an educational computer software, where information
is presented and student activities are integrated in a virtual learning environment.
Characteristics of Hypermedia applications
 Learner controlled-this means the learner makes his/her own decisions on the, flow or
events of instruction. The learner has control on such aspects as sequence, pace, content,
media, feedback, etc. that he/she may encounter in the hypermedia learning program.
 Learner was a wide range of navigations routes- for the most part, the learner controls
the sequence and pace of his path depending on his ability and motivation. He has the
option to repeat and change speed, it desired. Of course, at the start, the learner may
choose the learning activities he prefers. Meanwhile, the teacher has the prerogative to
determine suitable learning objectives.

Technology in the Classroom

There are various types of technologies that can be or currently used in traditional classrooms.
Among these are:
 Computer in the classroom. Having a computer in the classroom is an asset to any teacher.
With a computer in the classroom, teachers are able to demonstrate a new lesson,
present new material, illustrate how to use new programs, and show ne websites.
 Class website. An easy way to display a student’s work to create a web page designed
for the class. Once a web page is designed, teachers can post homework assignments,
student work, famous quotes, trivia, games, and so much more. In today’s society,
children should know how to use the computer to navigate their way through a
website, so why not gave them one where they can be published author.
 Class blogs and wikis. These are variety of Web 2.0 tools that are currently being
implemented the classroom. Blogs allow for students to maintain a running dialogue.
They work as tool for maintaining a journal of thoughts, ideas, and assignments as
well as encourage student comment and reflection. Wikis are more group-focused to
allow multiple members of the group to edit a single document and create a truly
collaborative and carefully edited finished product.
 Wireless classroom microphones. Noisy classrooms are daily occurrences. With the
help of microphones students are able to hear their teachers more clearly. Children
learn better when they hear the teacher clearly. The benefit for teachers is that they no
longer lose their voices at the end of the day
 Mobile devices. Mobile devices such as clickers or smartphones can be used to
enhance the experience in the classroom by providing the possibility for professors to
get feedback
 Interactive whiteboards. An interactive whiteboard that provides touch control of
computer application enhances the experience in the classroom by showing anything
that can be on a computer screen. This is not only aids in visual learning, but it is
 interactive, so the student can draw, write or manipulate images on the interactive
whiteboard.
 Digital video-on-demand. Replacement of hard copy videos (DVD, VHS, etc.) with
digital video accessed from central server (e.g. SAFARI Montage). Digital video
eliminates the need
 for in-classroom hardware (player) and allows teachers and students to access video
clips immediately but not utilizing the public internet.
 Online media. Streamed video websites can be used to enhance a classroom lesson
(e.g. united streaming, teacher tube, etc.)
 Online study tools. These are tools that motivate studying by making studying more
fun and individualized for the student
 Digital games. The field of educational games and serious games has been growing
significantly over the last few years. The digital games are being provided as tools for
the classroom and have a lot positive effects, including higher motivation for the
students.
 There are many other tools being used. These may include: digital cameras, video
cameras, interactive whiteboard tools, documents cameras, or LCD projectors
 Podcasts. Podcasting is relatively new invention that allows anybody to publish files
to the internet where individuals can subscribe and receive new files from people by
subscription. The primary benefit to pod casting for educators is quite simple. It
enables teachers to reach a student in a way that is both “cool” and a part of their lives.
For technology that only requires a computer, microphone and internet connection,
pod casting has the capacity of advancing a student’s education beyond the classroom.
When students listen to the pod cast of the students as well as their won, they can
quickly demonstrate their capacities to identify and define “quality”. This can be a
great tool for learning and developing literacy inside and outside the classroom. Pod
casting can help sharpen student’s vocabulary, writing, editing, public speaking, and
presentation skills. Students also learn skills that will be valuable in the working
world, such as communication, time management, and problem-solving.

The most traditional but very effective technology in the classroom

According to Horace Mann, a noted American Educator, “indeed, in country have I ever seen
a good school without a blackboard, or a successful teacher who did not use it frequently?”

A chalkboard is available classroom equipment and the overhead projector (OHP) which has
become quite popular in schools. Like other state –of-the art instructional tools, the teacher
has to learn from proper techniques using chalkboards and OHPs to maximize it use and make
it an effective and efficient instructional equipment.

Teaching and Learning with Visual Symbols

As implied in Edgar Dale’s Cone of Experience a teacher should not use only one medium of
communication in isolation, but rather use many instructional materials to help the
students
conceptualize his experience. Thus, the use of visual symbols in teaching and learning is important. It
may be laborious on the part of the teacher, but the use of technology in preparing such
materials may help. These visual symbols include drawings, cartoons, strip drawings,
diagrams, charts, graphs, maps, etc.

Drawing – A drawing may not be the real thing, but it’s better to have a concrete visual aid
than nothing. To avoid confusion, it is good that the drawing correctly represents the real
thing.
Cartoons – A first cartoon tells it story metaphorically. The perfect cartoon need no caption.
The less the artist depends on words, the more effective the symbolism, for the symbolism
conveys the message.
Strip drawings - these are commonly called comics or comic strips. According to dale the
more accurate term is “strip drawings.” Make use of strips that are educational and at same
time entertaining.

Diagrams - it is any line drawing that shows arrangements and relations as a part of the
whole, relative values, origins and development, chronological functions, distribution, etc.

Types of diagrams:
Affinity Diagrams - use to cluster complex, apparently unrelated data into natural and
meaningful groups.

Tree Diagram - use to chart out, in increasing detail, the various tasks that must be
accomplished to complete a project or achieve a specific objective.

Fishbone Diagram - it is called “cause-and-effect diagram. It is a structured form of

brainstorming that graphically shows the relationship of possible causes and sub-causes
directly related to and identifies effect/ problem. It is commonly used to analyze work-related
problems.

Charts - It is a diagrammatic representation of relationships among individuals with

organization it includes the following:
 Time chart-is a tabular time chart that represents data in ordinal sequence.
 Tree or stream chart- depicts development, growth and change by beginning with a
single course (the trunk) which spreads out into many branches; or by beginning with
the many tributaries which then converge into a single channel.
 Flow chart-is a visual way of charting or showing a process from beginning to end. It
is a means of analyzing a process. By outlining every step in a process, you can begin
to find inefficiencies or problems.
 Organizational chart- shows how one part of the organization relates to the other parts
 Comparison and contrast chart-used to show similarities and differences between tow
thins, (people, places, events, ideas, etc.)
 Pareto chart- is a type of bar chat, prioritized in descending order of magnitude or
importance from left to right. It shows at a glance which factors are occurring most.
 Gantt chart- it is an activity time chart

Graphs- there are several types of graphs:

 Circle or Pie graph- recommended for a showing a part of a whole.
 Bar graph- used in comparing the magnitude of similar items at a different entities to
seeing relative sizes of the parts of a whole
 Pictorial graph- makes use of picture symbols
 Graphic organizer

Maps - it is a representation of the surface of the earth or some apart of it

Kinds of Maps
1. Physical map -combines in a single projection data like altitude, temperature, rainfall,
precipitation, vegetation and soil.
 2. Relief map - has three dimensional representations and shows contours of the physical
data of the earth or part of the earth.
3. Commercial or economic map - also called product or industrial map since it shows
land areas in relation to the economy.
4. Political map - give detailed information about country, provinces, cities and towns,
roads and highways. Oceans, rivers and lakes are the main features of most political
maps.

Project Based Learning Multimedia

Corpuz and Lucido (2008) explain that project-based multimedia learning does not only
involve use of multimedia for learning. According to them, students end up with a
multimedia product to show
what they learned.
 They are not only learners of academic content, but they are at the same time authors
of multimedia product at the end of the learning process.
 The goals and objectives of a project are based in the core curriculum a laid down in
the curricular standards and are made crystal clear to students at the beginning of the
project
 The students work collaboratively over an extended time frame.
 As they work, the employ like skills, including decision-making
 Their learning task ends up with a multimedia presentation through their multimedia product

ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING

132
Assessment – refers to the process of gathering, describing or quantifying information about
the student performance. It includes paper and pencil test, extended responses (example
essays) and performance assessment are usually referred to as “authentic assessment” task
(example presentation of research work)

Measurement – is a process of obtaining a numerical description of the degree to which an

individual possesses a particular characteristic. Measurements answers the questions “how
much?

Evaluation - it refers to the process of examining the performance of student. It also

determines whether or not the student has met the lesson instructional objectives.

Test – is an instrument or systematic procedures designed to measure the quality, ability, skill
or knowledge of students by giving a set of question in a uniform manner. Since test is a form
of assessment, tests also answer the question “how does individual student perform?

Testing is the method used to measure the level of achievement or performance of the learner.
It also refers to the administration, scoring and interpretation of an instrument (procedure)
designed to elicit information about performance in a simple of a particular area of behavior.

Types of Measurement
There are two ways of interpreting the student performance in relation to classroom instruction.

Norm-reference test is a test designed to measure the performance of a student compared

with other students. Each individual is compared with other examinees and assigned a score-
usually expressed as percentile, a grade equivalent score or a stanine. The achievement of
student is reported for broad skill areas, although some norm referenced tests do report student
achievement for individual.
The purpose is to rank each student with respect to the achievement of others in broad areas of
knowledge and to discriminate high and low achievers.

Criterion- referenced test is a test designed to measure the performance of students with
respect to some particular criterion or standard. Each individual is compared with a pre-
determined set of standard for acceptable achievement. The performance of the other
examinees are irrelevant. A student’s score is usually expressed as a percentage and student
achievement is reported for individual skills,

Common Characteristics of Norm-Referenced Test and Criterion-Referenced Tests

1. Both require specification of the achievement domain to be measured
2. Both require a relevant and representative sample of test items
3. Both use the same types of test items
4. Both used the same rules for item writing (except for item difficulty)
5. Both are judge with the same qualities of goodness (validity and reliability)
6. Both are useful in educational assessment

TYPES OF ASSESSMENT
There are four type of assessment in terms of their functional role in relation to classroom
instruction. These are the placement assessment, diagnostic assessment, formative assessment
and summative assessment.
A. Placement Assessment is concerned with the entry performance of student, the
purpose of placement evaluation is to determine the prerequisite skills, degree of
mastery of the course objectives and the best mode of learning.

B. Diagnostic Assessment is a type of assessment given before instruction. It aims to

identify the strengths and weaknesses of the students regarding the topics to be
discussed. The purpose of diagnostic assessment:
 To determine the level of competence of the students
 To identify the students who have already knowledge about the lesson;
 To determine the causes of learning problems and formulate a plane for remedial action.

C. Formative Assessment is a type of assessment used to monitor the learning progress

of the students during or after instruction. Purpose of formative assessment:
 To provide feedback immediately to both student and teacher regarding the
success and failure of learning.
 To identify the learning errors that is need of correction
 To provide information to the teacher for modifying instruction and used for
improving learning and instruction

D. Summative Assessment is a type of assessment usually given at the end of a course or

unit. Purpose of summative assessment:
 To determine the extent to which the instructional objectives have been met;
 To certify student mastery of the intended outcome and used for assigning grades;
 To provide information for judging appropriateness of the instructional objectives
 To determine the effectiveness of instruction

MODE OF ASSESSMENT
A. Traditional Assessment
1. Assessment in which students typically select an answer or recall information to
complete the assessment. Test may be standardized or teacher made test, these
tests may be multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, true-false, matching type.
 2. Indirect measures of assessment since the test items are designed to represent
competence by extracting knowledge and skills from their real life context.
3. Items on standardized instrument tends to test only the domain of knowledge and
skill to avoid ambiguity to the test takers.
4. One-time measures to rely on a single correct answer to each item. There is a
limited potential for traditional test to measure higher order thinking skills.

B. Performance assessment
1. Assessment in which students are asked to perform real-world tasks that
demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills
2. Direct measures of students performance because task are design to incorporate
contexts, problems, and solutions strategies that students would use in real life.
3. Designed ill-structured challenges since the goal is to help students prepare for the
complex ambiguities in life.
4. Focus on processes and rationales. There is no single correct answer, instead
students are led to craft polished, thorough and justifiable responses, performances
and products.
5. Involve long-range projects, exhibits, and performances are linked to the curriculum
6. Teacher is an important collaborator in creating tasks, as well as in developing
guidelines for scoring and interpretation

C. Portfolio Assessment
1. Portfolio is a collection of student’s work specifically to tell a particular story
about the student.
2. A portfolio is not a pie of student work that accumulates over a semester or year
3. A portfolio contains a purposefully selected subset of student work
4. It measures the growth and development of students.

THE KEY TO EFFECTIVE TESTING

Objectives: The specific statements of the aim of the instruction; it should express what the
students should be able to do or know as a result of taking the course; the objectives should
indicate the cognitive level, affective level and psychomotor level of expected performance.

Instruction: It consist all the elements of the curriculum designed to teach the subject,
including the lesson plans, study guide, and reading and homework assignment; the
instruction should corresponds directly to the objectives

Assessment: The process of gathering, describing or quantifying information about the

performance of the learner; testing components of the subject; the weight given to different
subject matter areas on the test should match with objectives as well as the emphasis given to
each subject area during instruction.

Evaluation: Examining the performance of students and comparing and judging its quality.
Determining whether or not the learner has met the objectives of the lesson and the extent of
understanding.

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES
Instructional objectives play a very important role in the instructional process and the
evaluation process. It serves as guides for teaching and learning, communicate the intent of
the instruction to others and it provide a guidelines for assessing the learning of the students.
Instructional objectives also known as behavioral objectives or learning objectives are
statement which clearly describe an anticipated learning outcome.

Characteristics of well-written and useful instructional objectives

1. Describe a learning outcome
2. Be student oriented-focus on the learner not on the teacher
3. Be observable or describe an observable product
4. Be sequentially appropriate
5. Be attainable within a reasonable amount of time
6. Be developmental appropriate

Factors to Consider when Constructing Good Test Items

A. VALIDITY is the degree to which the test measures what is intended to measure. It is
the usefulness of the test for a given purpose. A valid test us always reliable.
B. RELIABILITY refers to the consistency of score obtained by the same person when
retested using the same instrument or one that is parallel to it.
C. ADMINISTRABILITY - the test should be administered uniformly to all students so
that the scores obtained will not vary due to factors other than differences of the
students’ knowledge and skills. There should be a clear provision for instruction for
the students, proctors and even the who will check the test or the scorer
D. SCORABILITY - the test should be easy to score, directions for scoring is clear,
provide the answer sheet and the answer key
E. APPROPRIATENESS - the test item that the teacher construct must assess the exact
performances called for in the learning objectives. The test item should require the
same performance of the student as specified in the learning objectives.
F. ADEQUACY - the test should contain a wide sampling if items to determine the
educational outcomes or abilities so that resulting scores are representatives of the
total performance in the areas measured.
G. FAIRNESS - the test should bit be biased to the examinees, it should not be offensive
to any examinees subgroups. A test can only be good if it is also fair to all test takers.
H. OBJECTIVITY represents the agreement of two or more raters or a test
administrators concerning the score of a student. If the two raters who assess the same
student on the same test cannot agree in score, the test lacks objectivity and the score
of neither judge is valid, thus, lack of objectivity reduces test validity in the same way
that lack reliability influence validity.

TABLE OF SPECIFICATIONS
Table of specification is a device for describing test items in terms of the content and the
process dimensions. That is, what a student is expected to know and what he or she is
expected to do with that knowledge. It is described by combination of content and process in
the table of specification.

ITEM ANALYSIS. Item analysis refers to the process of examining the student’s responses
to each item in the test. According to Abu-Bakr S. Asaad and William M. Hailaya
(Measurement and Evaluation Concepts & Principles) Rexr Bookstore (2004 Edition), there
are two characteristics of an item. These are desirable and undesirable characteristics. An item
that has desirable characteristics can be retained for subsequent use and that with undesirable
characteristics is either be revised or rejected.

These criteria in determining the desirability and undesirability of an item.

a. Difficulty if an item
b. Discriminating power of an item
c. Measures of attractiveness

Difficulty index refers to the proportion of the number of students in the upper and lower
groups who answered an item correctly. In a classroom achievement test, the desired indices
of difficulty not lower than 0.20 nor higher than 0.80. The average index difficulty form 0.30
or 0.40 to maximum of 0.60.

DF = PUG + PLG
2

PUG = proportion of the upper group who got an item right

PLG = proportion of the lower group who get an item right

Level of Difficulty of an Item

Index Difficulty
Range Level
0.00- Very difficult
0.20
0.21- Difficult
0.40
0.41- Moderately
0.60 Difficult
0.61- Easy
0.80
0.81- Very Easy
1.00

Index of Discrimination is the differences between the proportion of high performing

students who got the item and the proportion of low performing students who got an item
right. The high and low performing students usually defined as the upper 27% of the students
based on the total examination score and the lower 27% of the students based on total
examination score. Discrimination are classified into positive Discrimination if the proportion
of students who got an item right in the upper performing group is greater than the students in
the upper performing group. And Zero Discrimination if the proportion of the students who
got an item right in the upper performing group and low performing group are equal.

Discrimination Index Item

Evaluation
0.40 and up Very good item
0.30 - 0.39 Reasonably good item but possibly subject to
improvement
0.20 - 0.29 Marginal, usually needing and being subject to
improvement
Below 0.19 Poor Item, to be rejected or improved by version

Maximum Discrimination is the sum of the proportion of the upper and lower groups who
answered the item correctly. Possible maximum discrimination will occur if the half or less of
the sum of the upper and lower groups answered an item correctly.

Discriminating Efficiency is the index of discrimination divided by the maximum discrimination.

PUG = proportion of the upper group who got an item

right PLG = proportion of the lower group who got an
item right Di = discrimination index
DM = Maximum discrimination
DE = Discriminating Efficiency

Formula:
Di = PUG – PLG

DE = Di
DM

DM= PUG + PLG

Example: Eighty students took an examination in Algebra, 6 students in the upper group got
the correct answer and 4 students in the lower group got the correct answer for item number 6.
Find the Discriminating efficiency?

Given:
Number of students took the exam = 80
27% of 80 = 21.6 or 22, which means that there are 22 students in the upper performing group
and 22 students in the lower performing group.

PUG = 6/22 = 27%

PLG = 4/22 =

18% Di =

PUG- PLG
= 27%- 18%

Di = 9%

DM = PUG +PLG
 = 27% + 18%

DM = 45%
DE = Di/DM
= .09/.45

DE = 0.20 or 20%

This can be interpreted as on the average, the item is discriminating at 20% of the potential of
an item of its difficulty.

Measures of Attractiveness: To measure the attractiveness of the incorrect option

(distracters) in multiple-choice tests, we count the number of students who selected the
incorrect option in both upper and lower groups. The incorrect option is said to be effective
distracter if there are more students in the lower group chose that incorrect option than those
students in the upper group.

Steps of Item Analysis

1. Rank the scores of the students from highest score to lowest score.
2. Select 27% of the papers within the upper performing group and 27% of the papers
within the lower performing group.
3. Set aside the 46% of papers because they will not be used for item analysis.
4. Tabulate the number of students in the upper group and lower group who selected each
alternative.
5. Compute the difficulty of each item
6. Compute the discriminating powers of each item
7. Evaluate the effectiveness of the distracters

Validity refers to the appropriateness of score-based inferences; or decisions made based on

the students test results. The extent to which a test measures what is supposed to measure.

Important Things to Remember About Validity

1. Validity refers to the decisions we make, and not to the test itself or to the measurement
2. Like reliability, validity is not all or nothing concept; it is never totally absent or
absolutely perfect.
3. A validity estimate is called a validity coefficient and it refers to specific type of
validity. it ranges between 0 to 1.
4. Validity can never be finally determined; it is specific to each administration of the test

TYPES OF VALIDITY
Content Validity - a type of validation that refers to the relationship between a test and the
instructional objectives, establishes content so that the test measures what it is supposed to
measure. Things to remember about validity:
a. The evidence of the content validity of your test is found in the Table of Specification.
b. This is the most important type of validity to you, as a classroom teacher.
c. There is no coefficient for content validity. It is determined judgmentally, not empirically.

Criterion-related Validity - a type of validation that refers to the extent to which scores form
a test relate to theoretically similar measures. It is a measure of how accurately a student’s
current test score can be used to estimate a score on criterion measure, like performance in
courses, classes or
another measurement instrument. Example, classroom reading grades should indicate similar
levels of performance as Standardized Reading Test scores.

Construct Validity - a type of validation that refers to a measure of the extent to which a test
measures a hypothetical and unobservable variable or quality such as intelligence, math
achievement, performance anxiety, etc. it established through intensive study of the test or
measurement instrument.

Predictive Validity - a type of validation that refers to a measure of the extent to which a
person’s current test results can used to estimate accurately what that person’s performance or
other criterion, such as test scores will be at the later time.

Concurrent Validity - a type of validation that require the correlation of the predictor or
concurrent measure with the criterion measure. Using this, we can determine whether a test is
useful to us as predictor or as substitute (concurrent) measure. The higher the validity
coefficient, the better the validity evidence of the test. In establishing the concurrent validity
evidence no time interval is involved between the administration of the new test and the
criterion or established test.

Factors Affecting the Validity of a Test Item

1. The test itself
2. The administration and scoring of a test
3. Personal factors influencing how students response to the test
4. Validity is always specific to a particular group

Ways to Reduce the Validity of the Test Item

1. Poorly constructed test items
2. Unclear directions
3. Ambiguous items
4. Reading vocabulary too difficult
5. Complicated syntax
6. Inadequate time limit
7. Inappropriate level of difficulty
8. Unintended clues
9. Improper arrangement of items

Test Design to Improve validity

1. What is the purpose of the test?
2. How well do the instructional objectives selected for the test represent the instructional
goals?
3. Which test item format will best measure achievement of each objective?
4. How many test item will be required to measure the performance adequately on each
objective?
5. When and how will the test be administered?
6. How many test items will required to measure the performance adequately on each
objective?
7. When and how will the test be administered?
140
Reliability refers to the consistency of measurement; that is, how consistent test results of
other assessment results from one measurement to another. We can say that at test is reliable
when it can be used to predict practically the same scores when test administered twice to the
same group of students and with a reliability index of 0.50 or above. The reliability of a test
can be determined by means of Pearson Product Correlation Coefficient, Spearman-Brown
Formula and Kuder-Richardon Formula.

Factors Affecting the Reliability of a Test

1. Length of the test
2. Moderate item difficulty
3. Objective scoring
4. Heterogeneity of the student group
5. Limited time

Four Methods of Establishing Reliability

1. Test-retest Method. A type of reliability determined by administering the same test
twice to the same group of students with any time interval between tests. The result of
the test scores are correlated using the Pearson Product Correlation Coefficient and
this correlation coefficient provides a measure of stability. This indicates how stable
the test result over a period of time.
2. Equivalent – Form Method. A type of reliability determined by administering two
different but equivalent forms of the test ( also called parallel or alternate forms) to the
same group of students in close succession. The equivalent forms are constructed to
the same set of specifications that is similar in content, type of item and difficulty. The
result of the test score are correlated using the Pearson Product Correlation Coefficient
and this correlation coefficient provides a measure of the degree to which
generalization about the performance of students from one assessment to another
assessment is justified. It measures the equivalence of the tests.
3. Split – Half method - administer test once. Score two equivalent halves of the test. To
split the test into halves that are equivalent, the usual procedure is to score the even-
numbered and the odd-numbered separately. This provides a measure of internal
consistency. It indicates the degree to which consistent results are obtained from two
halves of the test
4. Kuder - Richardon Formula. Administer the test score one. Score total teal and
apply the Kuder-Richardon Formula. The Kuder-Richardon formula is applicable only
in situation where student’s responses are scored dichotomously and therefore is most
useful with traditional test items that are scored as right or wrong. KR-20 estimates of
reliability that provide information about the degree to which the items are of equal
difficulty. ( A statistical procedure used to estimate coefficient alpha, or a correlation
coefficient is given)

Descriptive Statistics of Test Scores

Statistics play a very important role in describing the test scores of students. Teachers should
have a background on the statistical techniques in order for them to analyze and describe
the result of
measurement obtained in their own classroom; understand the statistics uses in the test and
141
research reports; interpret the types of scores used in testing.

142
Descriptive Statistics - is concerned with collecting, describing, and analyzing a set of data
without drawing conclusions or inferences about a large group of data in terms of tables,
graphs, or single number (example average score of the class in a particular test)
Inferential Statistics- is concerned with the analysis of a subset of data leading to prediction or
inferences about the entire set if data or population

We shall discussed different statistical technique used in describing and analyzing test results.
1. Measures of Central Tendency (Averages)
2. Measures of Variability ( Spread of Scores
3. Measures of Relationship (Correlation)
4. Skewness

Measures of Central Tendency. It is a single value that is used to identify the center of the
data, it is taught as the typical value in a set of scores. It tends to lie within the center if it is
arranged form lowest to highest or vice versa. There are three measures of central tendency
commonly used; the mean, median and mode.

The Mean is the common measures of center and it also known as the arithmetic average.

Sample Mean =∑
x
n

∑ = sum of the
scores X =
individual scores n
= number of scores

Steps in solving the mean value using raw scores

1. Get the sum of all the scores in the distribution
2. Identify the number of scores (n)
3. Substitute to the given formula and solve the mean

7. Applied to interval level data

The median is a point that divides the scores in a distribution into two equal parts when the
scores are arranged according to magnitude that is from lowest score to highest score or
highest score to lowest score. If the number of score is an odd number, the value of the
median is the middle score. When the number of scores is even number, the median values is
the average of the two middle scores.

Example: 1. Find the median of the scores of 10 students in algebra quiz.

= 47.5 is the median score
= 50% of the scores in the distribution fall below 47.5

The median value is the 5th score which is 47. Which means that 50% of the scores fall below 47.

Properties of Median
1. It is not affected by extremes values
2. It is applied to ordinal level of data
3. The middle most score in the distribution
4. Most appropriate when there are extremes scores

The mode refers to the score or scores that occurred most in the distribution. There are
classification of mode: a) unimodal is a distribution that consist of only one mode. B)
Bimodal is a distribution of scores that consist of two modes, c) multimodal is a score
distribution that consist of more than two modes.

Properties of Mode
1. It is the score/s occurred most frequently
2. Nominal average
3. It can be used for qualitative and quantitative data
4. Not affected by extreme values
5. It may not exist

Example 1. Find the mode of the scores of students in algebra quiz:

34,36,45,65,34,45,55,61,34,46 Mode = 34, because it appeared three times. The distribution is
called unimodal.

Example 2. Find the mode of the scores of students in algebra quiz:

34,36,45,61,34,45,55,61,34,45 Mode = 34 and 45, because both appeared three times. The
distribution is called bimodal.
Measures of Variability is a single value that is used to describe the spread out of the scores
in distribution that is above or below the measures of central tendency. There are three
commonly used measures variability, the range, quartile deviation and standard deviation

Range is the difference between highest and lowest score in the

data set. R = HS - LS

Properties of Range
1. Simplest and crudest measure
2. A rough measure of variation
3. The smaller the value, the closer the score to each other or the higher the value, the
more scattered the scores are.
4. The value easily fluctuate, meaning if there is a changes in either the highest score or
lowest score the value of range easily changes.

Example: scores of 10 students in Mathematics and Science. Find the range and what subject
has a greater variability?

LS= 33 LS= 25
R = HS-LS R= HS-LS
R= 62-33 R= 57-25
R= 29 R= 32

Based form the computed value of the range, the scores in Science has greater variability.
Meaning, scores in Science are more scattered than in the scores in Mathematics

Quartile Deviation is the half of the differences the third quartile (Q3) and the first quartile
(Q1). It is based on the middle 50% of the range, instead the range of the entire set
Of distribution. In symbol:

QD = Q3 - Q1
2
QD = quartile
deviation Q3 = third
quartile value Q1=
first quartile value

Example: In a score of 50 students, the Q3 = 50.25 and Q1 = 25.45, Find the QD?

QD = Q3 -
Q1
2

= 50.25 – 25.4
2
QD = 12.4

The value of QD =12.4 which indicates the distance we need to go above or below the median
to include approximately the middle 50% of the scores.

The standard deviation is the most important and useful measures of variation, it is the
square root of the variance. It is an average of the degree to which each set of scores in the
distribution deviates from the mean value. It is more stable measures of variation because it
involves all the scores in a distribution rather than range and quartile deviation.

SD = 10.10 for science subject

The standard deviation for mathematics subject is 10.20 and the standard deviation foe
science subject is 10.10, which means that mathematics scores has a greater variability than
science scores. In other words, the scores in mathematics are more scattered than in science.
Interpretation of Standard Deviation
When the value of standard deviation is large, on the average, the scores will be far from the
mean. On the other hand. If the value of standard deviation is small, on the average, the score
will be close form the mean.

Coefficient of variation is a measure of relative variation expressed as percentage of the

arithmetic mean. It is used to compare the variability of two or more sets of data even when
the observations are expressed in different units of measurement. Coefficient of variation can
be solve using the formula.
CV = (SD) x 100%
Mean
The lower the value of coefficient of variation, the more the overall data approximate to the
mean or more the homogeneous the performance of the group
Group Mean Standard deviation
A 87 8.5
B 90 10.25

CV Group A = standard deviation x 100%

Mean

= 8.5 x 100%
87
CV Group A = 9.77%

CV Group = standard deviation x 100%

Mean

= 10.25 x 100%
90
CV Group B = 11.39%

The CV of Group A is 9.77% and CB of Group B is 11/39%, which means that group A has
homogenous performance.

The Percentile rank of a score is the percentage of the scores in the frequency distribution
which are lower. This means that the percentage of the examinees in the norm group who
scored below the score of interest. Percentile rank are commonly used to clarify the
interpretation of scores on standardized tests.

Z- Score (also known as standard score) measures how many standard deviations an
observations is above or below the mean. A positive z-score measures the number of standard
deviation a score is above the mean, and a negative z-negative z-score gives the number of
standard deviation a score is below the mean.

The z-score can be computed using the formula

Z = x-µ for
population o

Z = x-mean for
sample SD
Where
X = is a raw score
0 = is the standard deviation of the population
µ = is the mean of the population
SD = is the standard deviation of the sample

EXAMPLE:
James Mark’s examination results in the three subjects are as follows:
Subjec Mea Standard James Mark’s
t n deviation Grade
Math Analysis 88 10 95
Natural Science 85 5 80
Labor 92 7.5 94
Management

EXAMPLE: A study showed the performance of two Groups A and B in a certain test given
by a researcher. Group A obtained a mean score of 87 points with standard deviation of 8.5
points, Group B obtained a mean score of 90 points with standard deviation of 10.25 points.
Which of the two group has a more homogeneous performance? In what subject did James
Mark performed best? Very Poor?

Z math analysis = 95 - 88
10
Z math analysis = 0.70
Z natural science = 80 - 85
5
Z natural Science = -1
Z labor management = 94 - 92
7.5
Z labor management = 0.27

James Mark had a grade in Math Analysis that was 0.70 standard deviation above the mean of
the Math Analysis grade, while in Natural Science he was -1.0 standard deviation below the
mean of Natural Science grade. He also had a grade in Labor Management that was 0.27
standard deviation above the mean of the Labor Management grades. Comparing the z scores,
James Mark performed best in Mathematics Analysis while he performed very poor in Natural
Science in relation to the group performance.

T-score can be obtained by multiplying the z-score by 10 and adding the product to 50. In
symbol, T- score = 10z +50

Using the same exercise, compute the T-score of James Mark in Math Analysis, Natural
Science and Labor Management

T- Score (math analysis) = 10 (.7) +50

= 57
T- Score (natural science) = 10(-1) +50
= 40
T-score (labor management) = 10(0.27) +50
= 52.7

Since the highest T-score us in math analysis = 57, we can conclude that James Mark
performed best in Math analysis than in natural science and labor management.

Skewness describes the degree of departures of the distribution of the data from symmetry.
The degree of skewness is measured by the coefficient of skewness, denoted as SK and computed as,

SK = 3(mean-
media)
SD
Normal curve is a symmetrical bell shaped curve, the end tails are continuous and
asymptotic. The mean, median and mode are equal. The scores are normally distributed if the
computed value of SK=0

Areas under the Normal Curve

Positively skewed when the curve is skewed to the right, it has a long tail extending off to the
right but a short tail to the left. It increases the presence of a small proportion of relatively
large extreme value SK˃0

When the computed value of SK is positive most of the scores of students are very low,
meaning to say that they performed poor in the said examination

Negatively skewed when a distribution is skewed to the left. It has a long tail extending off to
the left but a short tail to the right. It indicates the presence of a high proportion of relatively
large extreme values SK˂0.

When the computed value of SK is negative most of the students got a very high score,
meaning to say that they performed very well in the said examination

Rubrics is a scoring scale and instructional tool to assess the performance of student using a
task- specific set of criteria. It contains two essential parts: the criteria for the task and levels
of performance for each criterion. It provides teachers an effective means of students-centered
feedback and evaluation of the work of students. It also enables teachers to provide a detailed
and informative evaluations of their performance.

Rubrics is very important most especially if you are measuring the performance of students
against a set of standard or pre-determined set of criteria. Through the use of scoring rubrics
or rubrics, the teachers can determine the strength and weaknesses of the students, hence it
enables the students to develop their skills.

Steps in developing a Rubrics

1. Identify your standards, objectives and goals for your students. Standard is a statement
151
of what the students should be able to know or be able to perform. It should indicate
that your

152
 students should be able to know or be able to perform. It should indicate that your
students should met these standards. Know also the goals for instruction, what are the
learning outcomes.
2. Identify the characteristics of a good performance on the task, the criteria, when the
students perform or present their work, it should indicate that they performed well in
the task given to them; hence they met that particular standards.
3. Identify the levels of performance for each criterion. There is no guidelines with
regards to the number of levels of performance, it vary according to the task and
needs. It can have as few as two levels of performance or as many as the teacher can
develop. In this case, the rater can sufficiently discriminate the performance of the
students in each criteria. Through this levels of performance, the teacher or the rater
can provide more detailed feedback about the performance of the students. It is easier
also for the teacher and students to identify the areas needed for improvement.

Types of Rubrics
1. Holistic Rubrics. In holistic rubrics does not list a separate levels of performance for
each criterion. Rather, holistic, rubrics assigns a level of performance along with a
multiple criteria as a whole, in other words you put all the component together.
Advantage: quick scoring, provide overview of student’s achievement.
Disadvantage: does not provide detailed information about the student performance
in specific areas of the content and skills. May be difficult to provide one overall
score.
2. Analytic Rubrics. In analytic rubrics the teacher or the rater identify and assess
components of a finished product. Breaks down the final product into component parts
and each part is scored independently. The total score is the sum of all the rating for all
the parts that are to be assessed or evaluated. In analytic scoring, it is very important
for the rater to treat each part as separate to avoid bias toward the whole product.
Advantage: more detailed feedback, scoring more consistent across students and graders.
Disadvantage: time consuming to score.

Example of Holistic Rubric

Advantages of Using Rubrics

When assessing the performance of the students using performance based assessment it is
very important to use scoring rubrics. The advantages of using rubrics in assessing student’s
performance
are:
1. Rubrics allow assessment to become more objective and consistent
2. Rubrics clarify the criteria in specific terms
3. Rubrics clearly show the student how work will be evaluated and what is expected
4. Rubrics promote student awareness of the criteria to use in assessing peer performance
5. Rubrics provide useful feedbacks regarding the effectiveness of the instruction: and
6. Rubrics provide benchmarks against which to measure and document progress

Performance based assessment is a direct and systematic observation of actual performances

of the students based from a pre-determined performance criteria as cited by (Gabuyo, 2011).
It is an alternative form of assessing the performance of the students that represent a set of
strategies for the application of knowledge, skills and work habits through the performance of
tasks that are meaningful and engaging to students”

Forms of Performance Based Assessment
1. Extended response task
a. Activities for single assessment may be multiple and varied
b. Activities may be extended over a period of time
c. Products from different students may be different in focus
2. Restricted-response tasks
a. Intended performances more narrowly defined than extended-response tasks.
b. Questions may begin like a multiple-choice or short answer stem, but then ask for
explanation, or justification.
c. May have introductory material like an interpretative exercise, but then asks for an
explanation of the answer, not just the answer itself
3. Portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student’s efforts,
progress and achievements in one or more areas.

Uses of Performance Based Assessment

1. Assessing the cognitive complex outcomes such as analysis, synthesis and evaluation
2. Assessing non-writing performances and products
3. Must carefully specify the learning outcomes and construct activity or task that
actually called forth.

Performance based assessment can assess the process, or product or both (process and
product) depending on the learning outcomes. It also involves doing rather than just knowing
about the activity or task. The teacher will assess the effectiveness of the process or
procedures and the product used in carrying out the instruction. The question is when to use
the process and the product?

Use the process when:

1. There is no product
2. The process is orderly and directly observable;
3. Correct procedures/steps in crucial to later success;
4. Analysis of procedural steps can help in improving the product,
5. Learning is at the early age.

Use the product when:

1. Different procedures result in an equally good product;
2. Procedures not available for observation;
3. The procedures have been mastered already;
4. Products have qualities that can be identified and judge

The final step in performance assessment is to assess and score the student’s performance. To
assess the performance of the students the evaluator can used checklist approach, narrative or
anecdotal approach, rating scale approach, and memory approach. The evaluator can give
feedback on a student’s performance in the form of narrative report or grade. There are
different was to record the results of performance-based assessments.
 1. Checklist Approach are observation instruments that divide performance whether it is
certain or not certain. The teacher has to indicate only whether or not certain elements
are present in the performances
2. Narrative/Anecdotal Approach is continuous description of student behavior as it
occurs, recorded without judgment or interpretation. The teacher will write narrative
reports of what was done during each of the performances. Form these reports teachers
can determine how well their students met their standards.
3. Rating Scale Approach is a checklist that allows the evaluator to record information on
a scale, noting the finer distinction that just presence or absence of a behavior. The
teacher they indicate to what degree the standards were met. Usually, teachers will use
a numerical scale. For instance, one teacher may arte each criterion on a scale of one
to five with one meaning “skills barely present” and five meaning “skill extremely
well executed.”
4. Memory Approach the teacher observes the students when performing the tasks
without taking any notes. They use the information from memory to determine
whether or not the students were successful. This approach is not recommended to use
for assessing the performance of the students.

Portfolio assessment is the systematic, longitudinal collection of student work created in

response to specific, know instructional objectives and evaluated in relation to the same
criteria. Student Portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student’s
efforts, progress and achievements in one or more areas. The collection must include student
participation in selecting contents, the criteria for selection, the criteria for judging merit and
evidence of student self- reflection.

Three Types of Portfolio

There are three basic types of portfolio to consider for classroom use. These are working
portfolio, showcase portfolio and progress portfolio
1. Working Portfolio. The first type of portfolio is working portfolio also known as “teacher-
student portfolio”. As the name implies that it is a project “in work” it contains the
work in progress as well as the finished samples of work use to reflect in process by
the students and teachers. It documents the stages of learning and provides a
progressive record of student growth. This is interactive teacher-student portfolio that
aids in communication between teacher and student. The working portfolio may be
used to diagnose student needs. In both
 student and teacher have evidence of student strengths and weakness in achieving
learning objectives, information extremely useful in designing future instruction?
2. Showcase Portfolio. Showcase portfolio is the second type of portfolio and also
known as best works portfolio or display portfolio. In this kind of portfolio, it focuses
on the student’s best and most representative work. It exhibit the best performance of
the student. Best works portfolio may document student activities beyond school for
example a story written at home. It is just like an artist’s portfolio where a variety of
work is selected to reflect breadth of talent, painters can exhibits the best paintings.
Hence, in this portfolio the student selects what he or she thinks is representative work.
This folder is most often seen at open houses and parent visitations. The most
rewarding use of student portfolios is the display of student’s best work, the work that
makes them proud. In this case, it encourages self- assessment and build self-esteem to
students. The pride and sense of accomplishment that students feel make the effort
well worthwhile and contribute to a culture for learning in the classroom
3. Progress Portfolio. This third type of portfolio is progress portfolio and it is also
known as Teacher Alternative Assessment Portfolio. It contains examples of student’s
work with the same types done over a period of time and they are utilized to assess
their progress All the works of the students in this type of portfolio are scored, rated,
ranked, or evaluated. Teachers can keep individual student portfolios that are solely for
the teacher’s use as an assessment tool. This a focused type of portfolio and is a model
approach to assessment. Assessment portfolios used to document student learning on
specific curriculum outcomes and used to demonstrate the extent of mastery in any
curricular area,

Uses of Portfolios
1. It can provide both formative and summative opportunities for monitoring progress
toward reaching identified outcomes
2. Portfolios can communicate concrete information about what we expected of students
in terms of the content and quality of performance in specific curriculum areas.
3. A portfolio is that they allow students to document aspects of their learning that do not
show up well in traditional assessments
4. Portfolios are useful to showcase periodic or end of the year accomplishment of
students such as in poetry, reflections on growth, samples of best works, etc.
5. Portfolios may also be used to facilitate communication between teachers and parents
regarding their child’s achievement and progress in a certain period of time.
6. The administrator may use portfolios for national competency testing to grant high
school credit, to evaluate education programs.
7. Portfolios may be assembled for combination of purposes such as instructional
enhancement and progress documentation. A teacher reviews student’s portfolios
periodically and make notes for revising instruction for next year used.

According to Mueller (2010) there are seven steps in developing portfolios of students.

Below are the discussions of each step.

1. Purpose: What is the purposes of the portfolio?
2. Audience: For what audience will the portfolio be created?
3. Content: What samples of student work will be included?
 4. Process: What processes (e.g. selection of work to be included, reflection in work,
conferencing) will be engaged in during the development of the portfolio?
5. Management: How will time and materials be managed in the development of the portfolio?
6. Communication: How and when will the portfolio be shared with pertinent audiences?
7. Evaluation: If the portfolio is to be used for evaluation, when and how should it be
evaluated?

Guidelines for Assessing Portfolios

1. Include enough documents (items) on which to base judgment
2. Structure the contents to provide scorable information
3. Develop judging criteria and a scoring scheme fir raters to use in assessing the portfolios
4. Use observation instruments such as checklists and rating when possible to facilitate scoring.
5. Use trained evaluators or assessors

GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING

Guidance and Counseling are both process to solve problems of life, they differ only on the
approach used. In guidance the client’s problems are listened carefully and readymade
solutions are provided by the experts. While in counseling the client’s problem are discussed
and relevant information are provided in-between. Through these information, the client will
gain an insight to the problem and become empowered to take his own decision.

Guidance Counselor assist each student to benefit from the school experience through
attention to their personal, social and academic needs.

Guidance (Downing) as pointed out by Lao (2006) is an organized set of specialized services
established as an integral part of the school environment designed to promote the development
of students and assist them toward a realization of sound, wholesome adjustment and
maximum accomplishment commensurate with their potentialities.

Guidance (Good) is a process id dynamic interpersonal relationship designed to influence the

attitude and subsequent behavior of the person.

Counseling is both process and relationship. It is a process by which concentrated attention is

given by both counselor and counselee to the problems and concerns of the students in a
setting of privacy, warmth, mutual acceptance and confidentiality. As a process it utilizes
appropriate tools and procedure which contribute to experience. Counseling is also a
relationship characterized by trust, confidence and intimacy in which the students gains
intellectual and emotional stability from which he can resolve difficulties, make plans and
realize greatest self-fulfillment.

Villar (2207) pointed out the different guidance services based from Rules and Regulations of
Republic Act 9258, Rule 1, Section 3 Manila standard, 2007) and other services not
mentioned in Rules and Regulations
1. Individual inventory/ analysis
2. Information
3. Counseling
4. Research
5. Placement
 6. Referral
7. Follow-up
8. Evaluation
9. Consultation
10. Program development

Roles of the Guidance Counselor

There are 5 roles of the guidance counselor are discussed by Dr. Imelda V.G. Villar in her
book “implementing a comprehensive Guidance and Counseling Programs in the Philippines
(2007)
1. As Counselor
2. As Coordinator
3. As Consultant
4. As Conductor of Activities
5. As Change Agent

Essential Elements of Counseling Process

1. Anticipating the interview
2. Developing a positive working relationship
3. Exploring feelings and attitudes
4. Reviewing and determining present status
5. Exploring alternatives
6. Reading decision
7. Post counseling contact

Techniques and Methodologies used in the Guidance Process

1. Autobiography
2. Anecdotal record
3. Case study
4. Cumulative record
5. Interview
6. Observation
7. Projective techniques
8. Rating scale
9. Sociometry

Ethical Consideration of the Counselor

1. Counselor’s responsibility to the client and to his family
2. Recognize the boundaries of their competence and their own personal and professional
limitations
3. Confidentiality
4. Imposition of one’s values and philosophy of life on the client is considered unethical.

Four Important Functions of Guidance Services

1. Counseling
 Individual counseling
  Small group counseling
 Crisis counseling
 Career counseling
 Referrals
 Peer helping programs
2. Prevention
 Primary, secondary, tertiary plans and programs
 Individual assessments coordinated student support team activities
 Students activities
 Transitional planning

PHILIPPINE EDUCATION HISTORY

Education is certainly the most powerful tool for anyone to be able to liberate oneself in any
form of social, economic and political injuries.

The Five Purpose of Education:

1. Skills and development

2. Values formation
3. Socialization
4. Life preparation
5. Knowledge acquisition
Knowledge acquisition - the purpose of education is to provide the foundation for
structured learning by providing the students with rich experiences using varied learning
tools, materials and interactive learning experiences
Skills development - Education aims for the student’s to discover their skills, potentials and
talents Value information - The ultimate goal of education is on the character formation of
the students Socialization - It is in the nature of education to provide an extension of the
family environment
Life preparation - Education prepares the student to become independent and competent for
future jobs and learn responsibilities in order to achieve goals in life
The Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 - It makes the K-12 program mandatory for all
students in both public and private schools
The rationale of the 12-years program is to align the curriculum of the Philippines with the
rest of the countries all over the world in order to compete globally.

Salient Features of the K 12 Program:

1. Strengthen early childhood education through the universal kindergarten

2. Make the curriculum relevant to learners by contextualization and enhancement
3. Ensure an integrated and seamless learning through the spiral progression
4. Build proficiency through language by using the mother tongue-based multilingual education
5. Gear of the future of the Senior High school
6. Nurture the holistically developed Filipinos through college and livelihood readiness
The aim of the Senior High Program - The aim is to equip students with the needed skills
and competencies for the college level. This will strengthen the student's interest and passion
for the career he/she will pursue in the future

Pre - Hispanic Academic and vocational:

1. The father trained sons into warriors, hunters, fishermen, miners, lumbermen
and ship builders.
2. The mother trained daughters in cooking, gardening, serving and other household arts
3. The old man in Bothoan teach kids with reading, writing, arithmetic and use of
weapons and lupus (acquiring kinaadman and amulets)

Western And European System

1. Primary schools, colleges and universities are established by missionaries

2. Make native Filipinos obedient and God-fearing Christians
3. Religion was compulsory in all levels
4. First schools are parochial; native children are taught reading, writing, arithmetic
and some vocational and practical arts subjects.
5. Boys and girls studied in separate schools.
6. missionaries are the teachers

American System

THE CHILD AND ADOLESCENT LEARNERS PART 2

161
The convention on the Rights of the child defines a child as “every human being below the
age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child”.

What is a childhood?
 Is a time for a boy or girl from birth until he or she is an adult
 The more circumscribed period of time from infancy to the onset of puberty
 Refers to the time or state of being a child
 Defined as an evolving series of steps, usually constant, towards adulthood shaped
by an extensive array of forces and ideas, that ranged from ethnicity to class, from
region to religion and from gender to politics
 Connotes a time of innocence, where one is free from responsibility but vulnerable to
forces in his environment
 Suggests a period where one enjoys closeness with parents and shared expectations

What is Adolescence?
 Came from the Latin word adolescentia or adolescence meaning to “grow up”
 The period of psychological and social transition between childhood and adulthood
 Defined as the transitional stage of human development in which a juvenile matures
into an adult
 Adolescence as a Modern cultural and social phenomenon
 Derived from the Latin noun dolor meaning “pain”
 The stage where the person experiences dramatic changes in the body
along with development in his psychology and careers
 Ages of adolescence vary by culture though the World Health Organization (WHO)
defines it as the period of life between 10 and 19 years of age
Teenager
 Appearing in the 20th century, a teenager or teen is a person whose age is a number
ending in “teen”, someone from age of 13-19
 In common usage in English countries, “adolescent” and “teenager” are synonymous
 Between the early childhood and teenage years is pre-teen

Children Act of 1989

 A legislative measure and now the central pillar of law3 and policy relating to children

Common problems faced by young children in the country

 Sexual and physical abuse
 Child labor
 Malnutrition
 Parental neglect
 Homelessness

Merlinda R. Hernando described the alarming situation of the Filipino Children which is
visible in numerous studies conducted and which showed that in the Philippines, over 4
Million children are victims of child labor and half of them are exposed to hazardous
condition. About 100,000 of them are abused every year about 300,000 roam the streets.
Latest statistics also points to about 7 Million malnourished children.

Child Advocacy Projects by the Government and Private Organization

1. Children’s hour has called on individuals and companies to donate an hour of their
earnings in support to programs for the welfare and development of the child and the
youth.
2. “Ang Panaghoy ng mga Bata” of the BPI Foundation. Provides healing of those
children traumatized by calamities like earthquakes, typhoon, landslides and even
food poisoning

Other sponsors of related projects are:

 Tahanan Outreach Projects and Services Inc. (TOPS)
 Create Responsive Infants by Sharing (CRIBS)
 Filial Aesculapies (Daughters of Aesculapies) an all-girls organization from the
University of East Ramees Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center College of
Medicine that decided to donate a part of its campaign to Children’s Hour
 Physical and Motor Development of Children and Adolescents
Physical and Motor Development Early Childhood
  Overall growth is clearly in height and weight measures
 Growth is manifested at the earliest stage- usually following a cephalocaudal .The
trend in the lengthening of the neck and torso, followed by the legs.
 Brain and neck develop earlier than legs and trunks following the development
occurs from the center outward
 Genetic factors strongly influence physical characteristics according to Tanner,
 Between ages 6 and 12
- Large muscles are coordinated, acquiring more skills rendering them to engage in
activities requiring motor coordination, strength and speed.
- Children grow 2-3 inches high and adds 6 pounds each year
- Hand-eye coordination is also developed
 Among school-aged children
- Development in the fine motor coordination takes place
- Uses of hands are made possible by the maturation of the wrists which is an
earlier occurrence among girls than boys
 Motor development improves with age

Middle Childhood
 Growth occurs in spurts:
- For girls it is between the ages of 6 ½, 8 ½ and 10
- For the boys it is approximately 7 ½, 9 and 10 ½
 Coordination in both fine motor skills and those involving large-muscle improves
 Gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination improve with agility and balance

Adolescence

 Adolescent growth spurt – the early signs of maturation

- For girls there is a sharp increase in height and weight at age 91/2 and 14 ½ or 15
- For boys it is between 10 ½ and 16, adult height attained at age 18
 Manifestations of growth differ among boys and girls
 Girls:
- widening of the pelvic to make child bearing easier
- accumulation of layers of fat under the skin resulting to a more rounded appearance
 Boys:
- develops wider shoulder
- longer legs relative to trunk and longer forearms relative to the upper arms and height
 eyes growing faster
 lower jaw usually becomes stronger and thicker with the incisors of both jaws
becoming upright
 puberty – the stage that brings about the physical differences between males and females

CHANGES OF BOYS AND GIRLS

Boy Girl
s s
testes grows ovaries grow
facial hair grows breast development
sperm in urine the principal sign of sexual Menarche - the beginning of menstrual cycle
maturation is

Spermarche - the first ejaculation of semen is Menstruation - the shedding of tissue from
experienced the
lining of the womb

A. Early Childhood
 Brain doubles in weight after 6 months, weighing about half an adult brain
 Brain development proceeds at an uneven pace between 3 and 10 months and
between 15 – 24 months
 At birth, 100 billion neurons, brain cells are present
 The number of neurons is constant after birth but they continue to develop
 Length of axons increases along with the dendrites which increase in density
 Second spurt of development is on the frontal lobes of the cerebral cortex
 Primary sites of brain growth are the sensory and motor areas
 Myelination – connecting of neurons – on the peripheral nervous system
 Reticular formation – one controlling attention results to selective attention
 Allows children to focus cognitive ability on the elements of a problem or situation

B. Middle Childhood
 95% of brain growth is reached at age 9 characterized by interrelated processes
- Cell proliferation (over production of neurons and interconnections)
- Cell pruning (selective elimination of excess cells and the cutting back of connections )
 Neurons of the association areas ( brain’s sensory motor and intellectual
areas) are myelinized to some degree
 Laterization of spatial perception on the right cerebral hemisphere allowing the
ability to identify about relationship between object in space to take place
 Lateral perception of forces and objects starts at 6 years old
 Complex lateral perception at age 8
- Lateral spatial perception explains the increase of efficiency (children
learned math problems strategies)
 Two major brain growth spurts
- Between ages 13 – 15
- Cerebral cortex becomes thicker and neuronal pathways become more efficient
- Energy produced and consumed by the brain is at its height
- Spurts take place in parts that control spatial perception and motor functions
- Believed that a qualitatively different neural network emerges during this
period enabling teens to think abstractly and reflect on cognitive processes
- Studies point this stage having the major brain organization occurring the age of
17 up to early adulthood
- Development focused on the frontal lobes of the cerebral cortex
- Older teens deal with problems requiring cognitive functions is easier than
younger teens

Environmental Influences on Development of Brain

 Life’s experiences have lasting effects on the capacity of the central nervous system to
learn and store information
  Enriched environment, enhance growth and structure of the brain while bad
environments result to actual brain damage

Factors Affecting Development

1. Maternal Nutrition
2. Child Nutrition
3. Early Sensory Stimulation

Maternal Nutrition. The mother supplies all the nutrition to the inborn fetus, thus she should
take care of the diet by a continuous supply of fresh vegetables, fruits, minerals and vitamins
needed.

Child Nutrition. Adequate nutrition contributes to a continuous brain growth, rapid skeletal
and muscular development.

Early sensory stimulation. Children under 6 years of age tend to be farsighted because
their eyes have not matured and are shaped differently from those of adults that age, the
eyes not only are more mature but can focus better.

Factors that Affect Growth

1. Genetic history
2. Nutrition
3. Medical conditions
4. Exercise
5. Sleep
6. Emotional well being

Exceptional Development
1. Physical Disabilities
2. Sensory Impairments
3. Learning disabilities
4. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Physical Disabilities are physically handicapped have impairments that are temporary or permanent

Causes of Handicaps

A. Prenatal Factors - factors that affect normal development before or after conception
lasting up to the first semester or third trimester of life
 Genetic or chromosal aberrations
 the transfer of defective genes from parent to offspring caused
by the blood incompatibility of the husband and wife
 Prematurity
 Infection
Caused by bacteria or virus on the fetus in the womb of the mother
 Malnutrition
  Irradiation

The exposure of the pregnant mother to radioactive elements

 Metabolic disturbances - Inability of the mother on the fetus to make use of food intake
 Drug Abuse

B. Perinatal Factors
 Birth injuries
 Difficult Labor
 Hemorrhage

C. Postnatal Factors
a. Infections
b. Tumor in the brain

Destroy brain cells connected with the movement thus impairing mobility
 Fractures and dislocations
 Tuberculosis of the bones

TB germs attack bones causing crippling condition

 Cerebrovascular injuries - Injuries in the head region enough to cause brain damage
 Post-seizure or post - surgical complications

Convulsions after the baby’s delivery

 Arthritis
 Rheumatism
 Diseases affecting the spinal column and the muscles’ locomotion
at the back

D. Sensory Impairments
• Visually handicapped – a form of visual impartment which, even with correction,
still cannot achieve a normal educational performance

Two classes of visual handicap

1. Visual Impairment - A visual problem that calls for specific modification or
adjustments in the student’s educational programs. Refers to those who were
previously labeled blind and partially sighted
2. Blindness - The inability the person to see anything

Visual Acuity Problems the most common visual problems

1. Albinism (rapid, involuntary side movement of the eyeballs or nystagmus)
2. Cataracts (eye lenses change from clear, transparent to a cloudy or opaque one)
3. Macular degeneration (central part of the retina, the macula, is affected)
4. Diabetic retinopathy (hemorrhaging of the tiny vessels of the retina)
5. Glaucoma (increased pressure w/in the eye, gradual loss of vision)
6. Retinis Pigmentosa (loss of night vision and leads to gradually decreasing peripheral vision)
 7. Retinopathy of prematurity (deterioration of the retina)

Hearing Impairments – a genetic term for hearing disability which may either
be mild or profound and subsumes the terms deaf and hard of hearing.
 Hard of Hearing - Persons who have this disability are those who uses hearing aids
 Deafness - Either be prelingual or postlingual sensory
 Prelingual - Deafness present at birth or occurring before language or speech development
 Postlingual - Deafness occurring after speech or language development
 Sensory - Neural deafness caused by the physical impairment of the inner ear, the
peripheral hearing nerve and other parts of the auditory system

Classification of Hearing Impaired Children

1. According to age at onset of deafness
- Congenitally deaf
- adventitiously deaf
2. According to language development
- Prelingually deaf
- Postlingually deaf
3. According to place of impairment
- Conductive hearing loss
- Sensory neural hearing loss
- Mixed hearing loss
4. According to degree of hearing loss
- Slight
- Mild
- Moderate
- Severe
- Profound

Deaf individuals – those whose hearing disability precludes successful processing of

linguistic information through hearing with or without a hearing aid.
Deafness – can be prelingual or postlingual
 Preligual – deafness present at birth or occurring before language or speech development
 Postlingual – deafness occurs after speech or language development

Causes of Deafness
a. Prenatal causes – toxic conditions, viral diseases, congenital defects
b. Perinatal causes – injury during delivery, anoxia (lack of oxygen), heavy sedation,
blockage of infant’s respiratory passage
c. Postnatal causes – diseases, ailments, accidents/trauma
d. Other causes – heredity, prematurity, malnutrition, Rh factor, overdoes of medicine
e. Hard of hearing individuals – those who use hearing aid and can have hearing
adequate for the processing of linguistic information

Learning Disabilities are disorders in understanding or using spoken and/or written language
or a sensory integration this is the ability to process information coming from the environment
and make use of the information in the process.
Types of Learning Disabilities
1. Dyslexia (reading)
2. Dysgraphia (writing)
3. Visual agnosia (sight)
4. Motor aphasia (speaking)
5. Dysarthria (stuttering)
6. Auditory agnosia (hearing)
7. Olfactory agnosia (smelling)
8. Dyscalculia
(math) Causes:
1) Problematic pregnancies
2) Biochemical Imbalance
3) Environmental Factors

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - Interferes with an individual

ability to focus (inattention), regulate activity level (Hyperactivity) or inhibit behavior
(impulsivity).

Subtypes of ADHD
1) Predominantly inattentive
2) predominantly hyperactive-impulsive
3) combined type

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) - Characterized by withdrawal, politeness and shyness

and the absence of hyperactivity.
 Behavioral Differences Between ADHD and ADD
 Decision Making ADHD Impulsive ADD sluggish
Attention Seeking Show off, egoistical, relishes in being the worst Modest, shy, often
socially withdrawn
 Assertiveness Bossy, often irritating Under assertive, overly polite and docile
 Recognizing Boundaries Intrusive Honors boundaries
 Occasionally rebellious Usually polite and obedient
 Popularity Attract new friends but has difficulty bonding Bonds but does not easily
attract friends
 Associated Diagnosis Oppositional defiance, conduct disorder Depression

Causes of ADHD
 Imbalance in certain neurotransmitters (most likely dopamine and serotonin)
 Difficult pregnancies and problem deliveries

Some Facts about ADHD

 There is a possibility that ADHD can be inherited
 It is possible to have ADHD-like behavior and not ADHD
Schools and classroom operations can inadvertently create or enhance ADHD like
behavior in students when:
 Teachers tend to cover curriculum
 Teachers resort to teacher talk as the prevailing mode of instruction
 Room arrangements provide isolation
 Discipline is arbitrary and unfair coming from different kinds of teachers
 There are few opportunities to move around
 Classroom atmosphere is not conducive to learning
 There is no interaction taking place
 Classroom emotional climate causes stress

What educators need to consider when faced with ADHD conditions?

 Educators must start identifying areas where difficulties occur
 Teachers need to be active, positive and well-versed in problem solving along with
traits like understanding, patience and passion for teaching
 Linguistics and Literacy Development of Children and Adolescents

Natural History of Language Development

Language Development - is a process that starts early in human life.

When a person begins to acquire language by learning it as it is spoken and by mimicry.

Children’s language development moves from simplicity to complexity. Infants start without
a language. Yet by four months of age, babies can read lips and discriminate speech sounds.

Traditional Learning view holds that language development depends upon the
principles of reinforcement

From the point of View of other learning theorists, language is primarily learned through imitation

Noam Chomsky exposes the nativist approach to language development, asserts that
children have an innate Language Acquisition Device (LAD) that enables them to learn a
language early and quickly

Modern theorists hold an interactionist view that recognize children as biologically prepared
for language but requires extensive experience with spoken language for adequate
development

Jerome Bruner emphasizes the critical roles of parents and other early caregivers play in
language development through the Language Acquisition Support System (LASS).

Antecedents of Language Development

 Pseudo dialogues – the give and take of conversation
 Protodeclaratives – the use of gestures to make some sort of statement about an object
 Protoimperatives – gestures are used to get someone to do something he/she wants

170
Bilingual Language Development

170
Bilingualism – learning two language simultaneously. Affords advanced cognitive skills,
flexibility of thought and greater acceptance of peers from other cultural background

Cognitive Advantages:
 Doesn’t impact on early language milestone
 Infants readily discriminate between the two languages phonologically and
grammatically in bilingual homes
 Learning grammatical devices in one language facilitate learning corresponding
devices in the other language
 Associated with an advantage on metalinguistic ability or capacity to think about
language among preschool and school age children
 Most bilingual children manifest greater ability than monolingual children when it
comes to focusing attention on language skills.

Cognitive Disadvantages:
 Limited vocabulary
 Think more slowly in the language in which they have the lesser fluency
 Parents who choose bilingualism should consider whether they can help their
children fluency in both language
 Children speaking their immigrant parents’ language tend to be attached to their
parents’ culture of origin and thus are able to speak the language.

Essential Implications of Language and Culture on Learning and Teaching Language:

1. Children use the four language systems at the same time in the process of communicating
2. Children bring their unique background of experience to the process of learning
3. Children’s cultural and linguistic diversity impact on the student’s learning process.

Emergent and Early Literacy: Reading Development and Performance

Fast Mapping - The child’s ability to map the meaning of a new word onto a referent after
hearing the word used on context just once

Holophrase is a single word used to represent a phrase or sentence and the first stage at
language acquisition

Vocabulary Explosion is the rapid addition of new words to a toddler’s vocabulary usually
occurs late in the second year.

5 Stages of Language Development (Cobb 2001)

1. Children speak in two-word sentence
2. Children use rules to inflect words, indicating plurality and tense
3. Children use rules to transpose meaning from one form of sentence and another
4. Children’s sentences become increasingly complex in the 4th and 5th stages
5. Children gradually learn to read and write in the preschool years

Literacy - A process that begins well before the elementary grades and continues into
adulthood and even throughout life.
171
Emergent Literacy - Is a new approach to language arts instruction in kindergarten coined
by Marie Clay, a New Zealand Educator. This is looking at literacy from the child’s point of
view.

Characteristics of Young Children as Literacy Learners According to Teale and Sulzby

1. Learning the functions of literacy through observation and participation in real-life
situations where reading and writing are used.
2. Developing reading and writing abilities concurrently and interrelated
3. Constructing understanding of reading and writing through engagement with
literacy materials.

3 Stages of Reading by Juel

1. Emergent Reading - The purpose of communicative print is understood by children
2. Beginning Reading - Children learn phoneme-grapheme correspondences and
start to decode words
3. Fluent Reading - Children have learned to read, decode unfamiliar words and
recognize words automatically

Factors Affecting Development

A. Early Language Stimulation
B. Literate Communities and Environment
C. Story Reading

A. Early Language Stimulation - Learning occurs through the process of equilibrium or

balance on child’s environment

The Three Steps of the Process

1. Disruption of equilibrium by the introduction of new information
2. Occurrence of disequilibrium followed by the dual processes of
assimilation and accommodation function
3. Attainment of equilibrium at a higher development

Children’s cognitive development is enhanced through social interaction. Lev Vygotsky, a

Russian psychologist, asserted that children learn through socially meaningful interactions
and language is both social and an important facilitator of learning.

Teacher’s role in guiding student’s learning within the zone of proximal development:
 Mediate or augment children’s through social interaction
 Flexible and provide support based on feedback from children as they are engaged
in the learning task
 Teachers vary the amount of support from very explicit to vague
 Elf-Talk - Children’s egocentric speech according to Vygotsky
 Students actively participate in learning
 Students learn by associating new information to acquire knowledge
 Student organize their knowledge in schemata
 Students consciously and automatically use skills and strategies as learning progresses
  Students learn through social interactions
 Teachers provide scaffolds for students

Literate Communities and Environment

 Elementary classrooms serve as venue for language acquisition
 Configuration of a classroom can be modified to include many facets to facilitate learning
 Teachers play a multifaceted role in a language classroom
 Teachers begin the process of establishing a community of learners when they
make deliberate decisions about the kind of classroom culture they want to
create
 The classroom environment needs to be established with in the first two weeks of the
school year
 Teachers are classroom managers
 According to Sumara and Walker, the process of socialization at the beginning of the
school year is planned, deliberate and crucial to the success of the language arts
program

Story Reading: Concept of story – knowledge about stories. Young children are aware of
what makes a story (elements, structure such as plot, character, setting, theme and information
about the author’s style and conventions.

Exceptional development: Aphasia and Dyslexia: Language disorder refers to any

systematic deviation in the way people speak, listen, read, and write or sign that interferes
with their ability to communicate with their peers (Crystal, 1987 as cited by Piper, 1998).

Two Language Disorders:

Aphasia – is the loss of ability to use and understand language. It excludes other language
disorders caused by physical conditions such as deafness. Can be categorized according to
the particular area
of the brain that is damaged into receptive, expressive and global aphasias. Receptive Aphasias is also
referred to as sensory aphasia or “Wernicke’s Aphasia”. It results from lesion to a region in
the upper back part of the temporal lobe of the brain called Wernicke’s area. People afflicted
with this type of aphasia manifest no difficulty in articulation or dissiliency. In fact their
language is characterized by excessive fluency. What is affected is comprehension resulting
in speech marked by repeated patterns of formulaic phases, by unintelligible sequences of
words or odd combinations of words or even phonemes. Expressive Aphasia is also called
motor aphasia and “Broca’s Aphasia” after the French neurologist who found that damage to
the lower back part of the frontal lobe interferes with speaking ability, is characterized by
severe impairment in articulation and speaking ability. Global Aphasia is characterized by the
combined symptoms of expressive and receptive aphasia.

Dyslexia is a Defective reading. It represents loss of competency due to brain injury,

degeneration, and developmental failure to keep pace with reading instruction. An individual
does not have mental defects but he experiences a severe reading disability. Defective reading
is oftentimes traced from environmental origin. It is genetically determined.
 Cognitive Development of the Children and Adolescents
Cognition is the process of learning in the broadest sense that includes perception, memory,
judgment, and thinking.
Piaget’s Observation on the Pattern of Cognitive Development in Children:
 Children of the same ages tend to make the same mistakes and get the same answers wrong
 Errors of children of a particular age differed in systematic ways from those of
older or younger children

Piaget’s Main Tenet: The Child Actively Seeks Knowledge

 Schema (plural, schemata) – an organized unit of knowledge. The child uses to
understand a situation or an experience, which serve as basis for organizing actions
responding to the environment
 Organization – the predisposition to combine simple physical or psychological
structures into more complex systems
 Adaption – the process of assimilation and accommodation that are complementary
 Adoption – adjusting one’s thinking according to environmental demands
 Assimilation – making use of an existing schema to the new experience
 Accommodation – modifying an existing schema to make it work in a new experience

Two Principles of Cultural Influence in Vygotsky’s Theory

1. Cultures are varied.
2. Variations in culture as well as cultural context must be considered in assessing children’s
cognitive development.

Egocentric Speech – the transition from the social activity of children to a more
individualized activity; develops the inner speech

Inner Speech – egocentric speech that has been internalized and w/c develops intellectual capacities

Three Categories of Thinking and Problem Solving:

1. some can be performed independently by the child
2. Others cannot be performed even with the help from others
3. Between the 1st two are tasks that can be performed with help from others

Information-Processing Theories
• Takes the human mind as a system that process information similar to computer programming
• several basic assumptions:

Thinking is information processing - Mental activity or thinking is putting into the mind
whatever information there is to be processed

Mechanisms of change are important to describe - Mechanisms like encoding, strategy

construction, automation, and generalization all together help in instituting change in the
children’s cognitive skills

The cognitive system is self-modifying - Child is able to modify his responses to new
situations or problems using the acquired knowledge and strategies from solving earlier
problems

Careful task analysis is crucial - Child’s cognitive performance is dependent on the problem
or solution and the ability to handle such according to his level of development.
 Microgenetic analysis – a close
  Metacognition – the individual’s knowledge

Bio-Cultural Theories -One of the most current trends in developmental psychology is

established link between physiological process and development explained through
universal changes and individual differences.

Other Theories:
 Nativism - views human as endowed with genetic traits seen in all members of the
species, regardless of differences in their environment. Environmentalist who adhere
to the nativist theory hold that peculiarities in the behavior can be identified early in
life, developed in all individuals in every culture but do not exist in other species
 Ethology points to genetically survival behaviors assumed to have evolved through
natural selection. Emotional relationships are important for infant’s survival. to
critics, ethnologists place too much emphasis on heredity; for one, ethological
theories are hard to test for the same reason that behavior like attachment for
survival is difficult to qualify or explain
 Sociobiology focuses on the study of society using the methods and concepts of
biological science that emphasizes genes that aid group survival. To support this
views, socio-biologists look for social rules and behaviors that exist in all cultures (e.g.
any society has to put up a set of rules to regulate conduct of human behavior). critics
do not seem to favor the genes and claim sound rules that govern life in society are
passed on over many generations because they are workable through language, not
genes
 Behavior Genetics - aver that a broad range of traits and behaviors like intelligence,
shyness, and aggressiveness are the result of heredity. Heredity provides for
individual differences. Environment determine how apparent hereditary traits affect
an individual’s development, and to what extent. Findings point to psychological
behavior as a product of both heredity and environment
 Brofenbrenner’s Ecological Theory - explains development in terms of relationships
between people and their environment, or contexts, as Brofenbrenner calls them.
Contexts of development are like circles within circles.

Macrosystem (or the cultural context), the outermost circle that contains the values and belief
of the culture in which a child is growing up.

Exosystem (the socio-economic context), are the cultural institutions which have indirect
influence on the child’s development.

Microsytem (to the immediate context), includes those units that have directly influence
on the children.

Mesosystem, consists of the interconnections between the components of microsystem

(families, schools, religious institutions, and neighborhoods). The child’s development is also
influenced by his genetic make-up. Calls for a way of thinking that development is a complex
of individuals and contextual variables and that development is a result of combined effects of
all contexts
Individual Differences
A. Triarchic Theory of Intelligence by Sternberg
 Three Major Components of Intelligent Behavior:
1. Information Processing Skills – required to encode, combine, and compare varying
kinds of information
2. Experience with a Given Task or Situation – experience can optimize
information over repeated experiences in doing a task
3. Ability to Adjust One’s Behavior to the Demands of a Context – people function
according to different situations and try to adapt the demands of a situation by
selecting and shaping other situations as necessary to meet their own needs

Theory of Successful Intelligence – a man can mold, shape environment to meet his
needs as well as that of society through analytical, creative, and practical abilities
1. Analytical abilities – refer to the power to apply logical reasoning to arrive at
the best answer to a question
2. Creative abilities – imagining and devising new ways of addressing issues and
concerns including present demands
3. Practical abilities – involve the use of tacit knowledge or common sense

The Gender Scheme Theory

 A theory of Sandra Bem, evolve from the social approach and is a variation of the
cognitive development theory
 Postulates an organizational pattern of behavior that enables children to sort out
perceived information
 Children develop a self-concept that fits this particular scheme, adapting for
themselves the society’s notion of male and female, better known as society’s gender
system

Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence

Howard Gardner, the exponent of the theory of multiple intelligences, opines that human
beings have seven kinds of intelligences (it was in 1999 that he added the naturalist
intelligence, making
them eight)

Two Types of Learning According to Jensen

1. Associative Learning (Level 1 Learning) – involves short-term memory, rote
learning, attention, and simple associative skills
2. Cognitive Learning (Level 2 Learning) – a child, as he moves on to a higher level of
learning can engage in abstract thinking, analyzing symbols, learning concepts, and
even use language in problem solving

Achievement Motivation and Intellectual Performance

 Achievement Motivation – comes in various manifestations:
- Tendency to strive for successful performance
- Elevation of performance against specific standards of excellence
- Experience pleasure out of a successful performance
 Academic motivation an impacts on the children’s performance along w/
 experiences in the family, school, peers, and community
 Varies according to the child’s idea or concept of himself, as a person or as a learner
  Intelligence – the capacity to think and understand

4 Conceptual Approach of Intelligence

1. Psychometric Approach – refers to measurement of hidden intelligence or
mental characteristics
2. Factor Analysis and General Intelligence – similar to the concept of “factoring”
in mathematics where complex algebraic expressions are simplified to arrive at the
common multiplier of all terms
- Spearman proposed two factor theory of intelligence:
- the general factor g or general intelligence
- the general factor s or individual tasks
3. Cognitive Approach concerns itself w/ the processes that result to intelligence behavior
- aims at describing the specific components of a given intellectual task and spell
out the mental activities/operations to be able to perform the task
- psychologist Robert Sternberg has argued that there is a joint operation of
components and metacomponents, the higher-order processes that we use to
analyze a problem and to pick a strategy for solving it, of intelligence which
include all cognitive processes that afford the person the ability to respond to
stimuli, store information, perform mental comparisons, arrive at solutions, and
engage in a system of recall from long-term memory
4. Implicit Theory Approach – asserts that intelligence is that which is used every day

Factors Affecting Development: Three Factors Affecting Modern Development

Psychologist Point to
A. Universal Changes
 Changes all individuals undergo as biological organism
 Age norms can lead to ageism, a set of prejudicial attitudes about older adults,
analogous to sexism and racism
B. Group-Specific Changes
 Changes manifested and observed from members growing up together in a
particular group and hence influence heavily by the dominant culture
C. Individual Changes
 Changes typical of particular individuals and which result from unique, unshared events
 Differences among individuals is attributed to genetics differences
 According to child development theorists, individual differences are the result of
the timing of a development event: the critical period, the stage at w/c an
individual is most sensitive to the presence or absence of some particular
experience and the sensitive period, the stage at which a child may be particularly
responsive to specific forms of experience or particularly influenced by their
absence
 Atypical Development – another kind of individual change w/c is
harmful to the individual for it deviates from the typical or normal
development path
 Development – a continuous process involving smooth and gradual change
over time and in difficult steps or stages
Theoretical Perspectives on Development
1. Structural-organismic perspective – zero in on the composites of developing organism
  Freud’s Psychodynamic Theory – the deprivation or satisfaction of child’s
drives that consequently impacts on the later adult personality
 Erickson’s Psychosocial Theory – expanded Freud’s theory by including social
and cultural factors as influences on the child’s development as well as to extent
the theory into a life-span perspective
2. Piagetian Theory – the intellectual development is in focus; development is looked
upon as resulting from the complex reorganizations of understanding as a child moves
from one stage to another in terms of cognitive functioning; asserts the continuous
search for new knowledge, information and experiences that are vital for his
functioning as a fully developed or mature individual
3. Classical and Operant Conditioning – early behaviorist proposed that learning is
regulated by environmental factors that define and modify patterns of behavior
4. Cognitive Social Learning Theory – emphasizes other than behavior the concepts of
imitation as a form of learning
5. Information-Processing Approaches – focus on how a child process information and
uses this as guide in adapting a particular behavior pattern
6. Dynamic Systems Theories – look at individuals as members of a system and
that this dynamic interaction contributes to their development
7. Contextual Perspectives – take in account in the matter of psychological
development, the contributions of cultural factors
8. Ecological theory – a child acquires experiences from the environment, adds
such experiences to the built-in knowledge, and modify his understanding of the
environment
 Microsystem – focuses on the ways children live and relate to people
 Mesosystem – the interrelations among the components of microsystem
 Exosystem – the actual situations a child is in that included the settings that
influence the development of the child and where the child is not directly a
participant
 Macrosystem – the system that surrounds the microsystem, mesosystem and
exosystem; represents the values, ideologies, and laws of society or culture
 Chronosystem – the time-based dimension that can alter the operation of all
other systems in Brofenbrenner’s model
9. Historical Approaches – acknowledge the contributions of historical events to
human development
10. Ethological Theory – describes development from a biological-evolutionary
approach; concerns itself w/ the observation of behavior including distinguishing
features that cut across human societies, human cultures, and even infrahuman
species
11. Evolutionary Psychology – touches on the cognitive development and how
cognitive capabilities and constraints influence the process of human evolution
and meeting the survival needs

Exceptional Development
A. Intellectually Gifted
 Every child is unique to himself, in personality traits, cognitive abilities, in
physical stature, in emotional stability, and others
 An IQ score above 130 signals intellectual giftedness, whereas a score below
 70 in intelligence testing indicates mental retardation visibly demonstrated
by the child’s inability to cope w/ appropriate activities of everyday life
B. Children with Intellectual Deficits
  Can be seen in both the intellectually gifted and those w/ intellectual deficits

Classification of Intellectual Deficits

1. Turner Syndrome - a chromosome abnormality found in females in w/c
secondary sex characteristics are developed only w/ the administration of
female hormones. Any abnormality in the internal reproductive organs cause
permanent sterility
2. Klinefelter’s Syndrome - A form of chromosome abnormality characterized by
feminine physical characteristics like breast development and rounded broad,
hipped figure
3. Pervasive Developmental Disorder - A collections of disorders characterized by
gross deficits in many areas of cognitive, emotional, and social development
4. Autistic Disorder - A pervasive developmental disorder otherwise known as early
infantile autism or childhood autism
 Characterized by the inability of the children to communicate and interact socially
Features:
1. Extreme autistic aloneness – an autistic is a loner and expresses lack of
interest in other people
2. Language abnormalities – rather than engage in conversation, the
autistic tends to repeat the words rather than reply, answer or engage in
conversation
5. Asperger’s Syndrome - First identified by an Austrian physician Hans Arperger
(1944) calling it a developmental disorder w/c has many symptoms similar to that of
autism. It is considered a mild form of autism since people w/ this syndrome
manifest a higher mental functioning
 Asperger’s Syndrome and autism differ in the degree of impairment, cognitive
ability, the need for high stimulation, overdeveloped use of imagination, and fewer
language deficits
6. Echolalia – a form of autism where the autistic repeats what is said by another
rather than respond to a question; usually a word for word repetition
 First recognized in 1980 and sometimes was confused w/ autism
 Children with Asperger’s Syndrome are able to progress in school at a rate
farther those who suffer from autism
 They do not show significant language delays and are often able to progress in
school at a satisfactory rate
 Avoid eye contact w/ others and fail to modulate social interaction in any way

Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence

 Emotional intelligence (EQ) – a type of social intelligence that affords the individual
the ability to monitor his own and others’ emotions, to discriminate among them, and
to use the information to guide his thinking and actions

Three Components of EQ:

1. The awareness of one’s own emotions
2. the ability to express one’s emotions appropriately
3. the capacity to channel emotions into the pursuit of worthwhile objectives
Major qualities that make up emotional intelligence and how they can be developed:
 1. Self–awareness - The ability to recognize a feeling as it happens is the keystone of
emotional intelligence; people who have greater certainty about their emotions are
better pilots of their lives
2. Mood Management - The ability to change mood from good to bad and vice versa
Relieving Rage:
o Reframing – a more effective technique w/c means reinterpreting a
situation and looking at it in a more positive light
o Going off alone to cool down is also an effective way to defuse anger.
o Praying also works for all moods.
3. Self – motivation - Trying to feel more enthusiastic and developing more zeal and
confidence to arrive at concrete achievement
4. Impulse Control - the essence of emotional self-regulation is the ability to delay
impulse in the service of a goal
5. People Skills - the ability to feel for another person, whether in job, in romance, in
friendship, and in family

STUDENT-CENTERED AND LEARNERS CENTERED

Teacher-centered education
In teacher-centered education, students put all of their focus on the teacher. You talk, and the
students exclusively listen. During activities, students work alone, and collaboration is
discouraged. Pros
 When education is teacher-centered, the classroom remains orderly. Students are
quiet, and you retain full control of the classroom and its activities.
 Because students learn on their own, they learn independence and make their
own decisions.
 Because you direct all classroom activities, you don’t have to worry that students will
miss an important topic.
Cons

 When students work alone, they don’t learn to collaborate with other students, and
their communication skills may suffer.
 Teacher-centered instruction can be boring for students. Their minds may wander,
and they may miss important facts.
 Teacher-centered instruction doesn’t allow students to express themselves, ask
questions, and direct their own learning.

Student-centered instruction
When a classroom operates with student-centered instruction, students and instructors share
the focus. Instead of listening to the teacher exclusively, students and teachers interact
equally. Group work is encouraged, and students learn to collaborate and communicate with
one another.
Pros

 Students learn important communicative and collaborative skills through group work.
 Students learn to direct their own learning, ask questions, and complete tasks independently.
 Students are more interested in learning activities when they can interact with one
another and participate actively.
180
Cons

180
  Because students are talking, classrooms may often be noisy or chaotic.
 Teachers may have to attempt to manage all students’ activities at once, which
can be difficult when students are working on different stages of the same
project.
 Because the teacher doesn’t always deliver instruction to all students at once, some
students may miss important facts.
 Some students prefer to work alone, so group work can become problematic.

ETHNOCENTRISM vs. XENOCENTRISM
Ethnocentrism is judging another culture solely by the values and standards of one's own
culture. Ethnocentric individuals judge other groups relative to their own ethnic group or
culture, especially with concern for language, behavior, customs, and religion.

Example:
 For example, Michael Jackson and his series of plastic surgeries had made people
thinking the wrong stuff about him. Public thinks that Michael Jackson is stupid and
dumb because he has changed his face from a black man to a white lady. He has a
female voice and a female face. People believe from their own point of views and
assumptions that Michael is gay. But the truth is Michael Jackson did series of
surgeries to poetry a specific character in his movies and albums. Since he had money
it was easy for him to transform himself. The second reason was his skin disease,
which was causing the skin to turn white at some spots. Michael took females
hormones to save the voice that his audiences liked. The female hormones kept his
voice from changing, so his voice still was soft like that of a kid. People made a
generalization from their own point of view that any man who has female
characteristics could be gay. People are ethnocentric when they judged him in this
way.
 Tom Cruise brags about Scientology. He insists that Scientology has all of the
answers. He states that Scientologist’s are the experts on mind and religion and that
only they can help people in need. Tom is being ethnocentric in this video because
he is expressing Scientology from his celebrity point of view.
 When the supreme court judge nominee Sonia Sotomayor made a comment on her
speeches and she said: “ I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of
her experience would often than not reach a better conclusion as a judge than a white
male who hasn’t lived that life”. Sotomayor's comments can be considered both, racist
and ethnocentric. Her comments are racist because she thinks Latino woman is better
or superior to white males. Her comments are ethnocentric because she thinks that her
experience comes from the superior life that she has lived and grown up with. She is
implying that the experience the white man gets from his way of life will not help him
reach a better conclusion.

On the other hand, the term xenocentrism refers to the desire to engage in the elements of
another's culture rather than one's own. Styles, ideas, and products can all be items of
preference by someone with xenocentrist viewpoints.

Some Examples of Xenocentrism:

 Americans' belief that European's produce superior automotive vehicles
 European Renaissance artists desire to emulate ancient Greek artwork
 Americans believe that French or Spanish wine is superior to what is produced by
American vineyards
 The belief that cheeses in France are far superior to those in the United States
 The concept that the quality of Ireland's beer is far superior to that produced domestically
 Coveting the culture of another country such as in Central America where the
 workday is set up far differently than in the United States
 The belief that the way of the dress by another culture is significantly superior and
that those within one's native country should adopt that same dress
 The belief that other countries produce better children's toys
  the concept that a quality product can't be purchased in one's native country
 The idea that cloth to make clothes is better produced by other nations

K-12 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

As early as 1925, studies have observed the inadequacy of the basic education curriculum.

As one of the most well studied reforms, recommendations of either adding or restoring 7th
grade or adding an extra year to basic education have been put forward.

A. Monroe Survey (1925): Secondary education did not prepare for life and recommended
training in agriculture, commerce, and industry.
B. Prosser Survey (1930): Recommended to improve phases of vocational education such as
7th grade shop work, provincial schools, and practical arts training in the regular high
schools, home economics, placement work, gardening, and agricultural education.
C. UNESCO Mission Survey (1949): Recommended the restoration of Grade 7
D. Education Act of 1953: Under Section 3, mandates that “the primary course shall be
composed of four grades (Grades I to IV) and the intermediate course of three grades
(Grade V to VII).”
E. Swanson Survey (1960): Recommended the restoration of Grade 7.
F. Presidential Commission to Survey Philippine Education (PCSPE) (1970): High priority be
given to the implementation of an 11-year program; Recommended program consists of 6
years of compulsory elementary education and 5 years of secondary.
G. Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) Report (1991): If one year is to be
added in the education program, it recommends one of two alternatives: Seven years of
elementary education or Five years of secondary education
H. Presidential Commission on Educational Reforms (2000): Reform proposals include the
establishment of a one-year pre-baccalaureate system that would also bring the Philippines
at par with other countries.
I. Presidential Task Force on Education (2008): In discussions on a 12-year pre-university
program, it is important “to specify the content of the 11 th and 12th years and benchmark
these with programs abroad.”

EDUCATION VISION
Every graduate of the Enhanced K+12 Basic Education Program is an empowered individual
who has learned, through a program that is rooted on sound educational principles and geared
towards excellence, the foundations for learning throughout life, the competence to engage in
work and be productive, the ability to coexist in fruitful harmony with local and global
communities, the capability to engage in autonomous critical thinking, and the capacity to
transform others and one’s self.

A Vision Grounded on Human

Development:

The complete human development of every graduate is at the core of the Enhanced K+12
Basic Education Program.
Every graduate holds an understanding of the world around and a zest for life-long learning,
which addresses every child’s basic learning needs, including learning to learn, the acquisition
of numeracy, literacy, and scientific and technological knowledge as applied to daily life.

The graduate also has the courage, the drive, and the relevant skills to engage in work and
have a productive life. Every graduate will be able to embark in the modern world prepared to
meet challenges.

Every graduate will be able to think for himself/herself and make sound decisions on the best
courses of action to take in the different circumstances of his or her life.

Every graduate is inculcated with the respect for human rights and values, notably,
MakaDiyos, Makatao, Makabansa, and Makakalikasan. This makes every graduate
empowered to effect positive changes in his/her life and that of others.

A Vision Achieved through an

Enhanced Curriculum: Every graduate of the Enhanced K+12 Basic Education Program will
benefit from a reformed and updated curriculum that is focused on enabling every child to
achieve mastery
of core competencies and skills.

A Vision that has Socio Economic

Relevance: Every graduate of the Enhanced K+12 Basic Education Program is ready to take
his or her place as a productive member of society. They are equipped to take on every
opportunity in life he or
she chooses to find work, to engage in higher studies, or to start an entrepreneurial endeavor.

This vision is consistent with the definition of an educated Filipino as conceived in the
Philippine Constitution and the World Declaration on Education for All.

GOALS
The goal of the Enhanced K+12 Basic Education Program is to create a functional basic
education system that will produce productive and responsible citizens equipped with the
essential competencies and skills for both life-long learning and employment.
a. To give every student an opportunity to receive quality education based on an enhanced
and decongested curriculum that is internationally recognized and comparable.
b. To change public perception that high school education is just a preparation for college;
rather, it should allow one to take advantage of opportunities for gainful career or
employment and/or self-employment in a rapidly changing and increasingly globalized
environment.

BENEFITS OF ENHANCED BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM

The Enhanced K+12 Basic Education Program will be instrumental in achieving the nation’s
vision of a high school graduate. The benefits of the K+12 proposal far outweigh the
additional costs that will be incurred by both government and families.
To Individuals and Families: An enhanced curriculum will decongest academic workload,
giving students more time to master competencies and skills as well as time for other learning
opportunities beyond the classroom, thus allowing for a more holistic development.
  Graduates will possess competencies and skills relevant to the job market.
 Graduates will be prepared for higher education.
 Graduates will be able to earn higher wages and/or better prepared to start their own
business.
 Graduates could now be recognized abroad.

For the Society and the Economy: The economy will experience accelerated growth in the
long run. The objective of the K+12 program is to improve quality of basic education.
 The Philippine education system will be at par with international standards.
 A better educated society provides a sound foundation for long-term socio-economic
development.

ENHANCED K 12 BASIC EDUCATION MODEL

After considering various proposals and studies, the model that is currently being proposed by
DepEd is the K-6-4-2 Model. This model involves Kindergarten, six years of elementary
education, four years of junior high school (Grades 7 to 10) and two years of senior high
school (Grades 11 to 12).

Kindergarten and 12 years of quality basic education is a right of every Filipino, therefore
these should be provided by government for free in public schools.

Figure 1 K-6-4-2 Model

Senior High School Grade 11 to 12 (16 - 17 years old)

Junior High School Grade 7 to 10 (12 - 15 years old)
Elementary School Grade 1 to 6 (6 - 11 years old)
Kindergarten (5 years old)

The implementation of the K+12 program will be phased. Universal kindergarten will be
offered starting SY 2011-2012. By SY 2012-2013, the new curriculum will be offered to
incoming Grade 1 as well as to incoming junior high school students.

The SHS curriculum (which assumes already an unclogged basic education curriculum) will
offer areas of specialization or electives such as science and technology, music and arts,
agriculture and fisheries, sports, business and entrepreneurship, etc., and subjects for
advanced placement.

In implementing the K-6-4-2 proposal, DepEd will take into account the issues and concerns
of all stakeholders, including the high school graduates before 2016. The mechanics and other
details of the transition plan will be threshed out with HEIs in coordination with CHED,
TESDA and other critical stakeholders.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES IN EDUCATION

The enhancement of the curriculum is the central focus of the Enhanced K+12 Basic
Education Program.
The development of tracks based on different competencies and/or student interest will be an
integral component of the program.
As part of the bigger basic education reform, the enhancement of the basic education
curriculum is being undertaken hand in hand with the vigorous efforts to ensure adequacy of
inputs.

Change is two-fold: curriculum enhancement and transition management.

An open and consultative process will be adopted in the promotion of the Enhanced K+12
Basic Education Program.

IMPORTANT POINTS OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Foundation of Education refers to a broadly-conceived field of educational study that
derives its character and methods from a number of academic disciplines, combinations of
disciplines, and area studies, including: history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, religion,
political science, economics, psychology, cultural studies, gender studies, comparative and
international education, educational studies, and educational policy studies.

Behind every school and every teacher is a set of related beliefs--a philosophy of education--
that influences what and how students are taught. A philosophy of education represents
answers to questions about the purpose of schooling, a teacher's role, and what should be
taught and by what methods.

The term education system generally refers to public schooling, not private schooling, and
more commonly to kindergarten through high school programs. Schools or school districts are
typically the smallest recognized form of “education system” and countries are the largest.

Public schools in the Philippines. Most local Filipino children attend public schools, which
are funded by the government and free to attend. The quality of education at public schools
remains poor.
Classes are big, teaching material is lacking and teachers are poorly paid.

How important is education?

Education gives us a knowledge of the world around us and changes it into something better.
It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of

SOCIAL DIMENSION OF EDUCATION

Philosophy - the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence,
especially when considered as an academic discipline.
 the discipline concerned with questions of how one should live (ethics); what sorts
of things exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics); what counts as
genuine knowledge (epistemology); and what are the correct principles of reasoning
(logic)
 investigation of the nature, causes, or principles of reality, knowledge, or values,
based on logical reasoning rather than empirical methods (American Heritage
Dictionary)
 the study of the ultimate nature of existence, reality, knowledge and
goodness, as discoverable by human reasoning
 the rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics
 the search for knowledge and truth, especially about the nature of man and his
behaviour and beliefs the rational and critical inquiry into basic principles (Microsoft
Encarta Encyclopedia)
 The study of the most general and abstract features of the world and categories with
which we think: mind, matter, reason, proof, truth, etc.
 careful thought about the fundamental nature of the world, the grounds for
human knowledge, and the evaluation of human conduct

Six Branches of Philosophy - Epistemology, Logic, Metaphysics, Ethics, Aesthetics,

Political Philosophy. These branches originate from basic questions. What do I know?
How do I know it? Where do we come from? What is good? What is beautiful? How do
we act?

Epistemology - the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and scope (including
limitations) of knowledge. It addresses four main questions. 1) What is knowledge? 2) How
is knowledge acquired? 3) What do people know? 4) How do we know what we know?

Logic – is the study of reasoning. Logic is often divided into two parts, inductive reasoning
and deductive reasoning. The first is drawing general conclusions from specific examples, the
second is drawing logical conclusions from definitions and axioms.

Metaphysics – is concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the
world. Cosmology and ontology are the two traditional branches of metaphysics. Cosmology
seeks to understand the origin, evolution, structure, and ultimate fate of the universe at large,
as well as the natural laws that keep it in order. Ontology is the investigation into what type of
things there are in the world and what relations these things bear to one another. Ontology
deals with questions concerning what entities exist or can be said to exist, and how such
entities can be grouped, related within a hierarchy, and subdivided according to similarities
and differences. Before the development of modern science, scientific questions were
addressed as a part of metaphysics known as "natural philosophy." The scientific method,
however, made natural philosophy an empirical and
experimental activity unlike the rest of philosophy, and by the end of the eighteenth century it
had begun to be called "science" in order to distinguish it from philosophy. Thereafter,
metaphysics became the philosophical enquiry of a non-empirical character into the nature of
existence.

Ethics – also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy which seeks to address
questions about morality; that is, about concepts like good and bad, right and wrong, justice,
virtue, etc.

Aesthetics – is the branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of beauty, art, taste,
and the creation and appreciation of beauty. It is more scientifically defined as the
study of sensory or sensory-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of
sentiment and taste.

Political Philosophy – is the study of concepts such as liberty, justice, property, rights, law,
and the enforcement of a legal code by authority: what they are, why (or even if) they are
needed, what makes a government legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should protect and
why, what form it should take and why, what the law is, and what duties citizens owe to a
legitimate government, if any, and when it may be legitimately overthrown, if ever. Three
central concerns of political philosophy have been the political economy by which property
rights are defined and access to capital is regulated, the demands of justice in distribution and
punishment, and the rules of truth and evidence that determine judgments in the law.

A priori - knowledge or justification independent of experience For example, “All

bachelors are unmarried.” By contrast, a posteriori knowledge or justification is
dependent on experience or empirical evidence. For example, “Some bachelors are very
happy.”

Deontological Ethics - is the ethical position that judges the morality of an action based on
the action's adherence to a rule or rules. It is sometimes described as "duty" or "obligation" or
"rule" based ethics, because rules bind you to your duty. Deontological ethics is commonly
contrasted with consequentialist ethical theories, according to which the rightness of an
action is determined by its consequences. Deontological ethics is also contrasted from
pragmatic ethics.

Determinism - is a philosophy stating that for everything that happens there are conditions
such that, given them, nothing else could happen. Determinism is often taken to mean simply
causal determinism: an idea known in physics as cause-and-effect. Determinism is also often
contrasted with free will.

Empiricism - is a theory of knowledge that asserts that knowledge comes only or primarily
via sensory experience. Empiricism emphasizes evidence, especially as discovered in
experiments. It is a fundamental part of the scientific method that all hypotheses and theories
must be tested against observations of the natural world rather than resting solely on a priori
reasoning, intuition, or revelation.

Existentialism - is a school of 20th-century philosophers who shared the belief that

philosophical thinking begins with the human subject - not merely the thinking subject, but the
acting, feeling, living, human individual. In existentialism, the individual's starting point is
characterized by what has been called "the existential attitude," or a sense of disorientation
and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world. A central proposition
of existentialism is that existence precedes essence, which means that the actual life of the
individual is what constitutes what could be called his or her "essence" instead of there being a
predetermined essence that defines what it is to
be a human. Thus, the human beings - through their own consciousness - create their own
values and determine a meaning to their life.

Free Will - is the ability of agents to make choices free from certain kinds of constraints.
Historically, the constraint of dominant concern has been the metaphysical constraint of
determinism. Two prominent opposing positions within that debate are metaphysical
libertarianism, the claim that determinism is false and thus that free will exists (or is at least
possible); and hard determinism, the claim that determinism is true and thus that free will
does not exist. These positions are described as incompatibles - the position that free will and
determinism are logically incompatible, and that the major question regarding whether or not
people have free will is thus whether or not their actions are determined. Compatibilists
maintain that determinism is compatible with free will. It may, however, be more accurate to
say that compatibilists define free will in a way that allows it to co- exist with determinism.
Compatibilists believe freedom can be present or absent in a situation for reasons that have
nothing to do with metaphysics. Compatibilists define free will as freedom to act according to
one's determined motives without hindrance from other individuals. Compatibilists argue that
determinism does not matter; what matters is that individuals' wills are the result of their own
desires and are not overridden by some external force.

Humanism – is an approach in philosophy that focuses on human values and concerns,

attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanism is
a perspective that affirms some notion of human nature. Secular humanism is a secular
ideology that espouses reason, ethics, and justice, while specifically rejecting supernatural and
religious dogma as a basis of morality and decision-making. Secular humanism contrasts with
religious humanism, which is an integration of humanist ethical philosophy with religious
rituals and beliefs that center on human needs, interests, and abilities.

Idealism – is the family of views that asserts reality, or reality as we can know it, is
fundamentally mental, mentally constructed, or otherwise immaterial. Idealism maintains that
the ultimate nature of reality is based on the mind or ideas. Epistemological idealists might
insist the only things that can be directly known for certain are ideas.

Is-Ought Problem - as articulated by Scottish philosopher David Hume, is that many writers
make claims about what ought to be on the basis of statements about what is. However, Hume
found that there seems to be a significant difference between descriptive statements (about
what is) and prescriptive or normative statements (about what ought to be), and it is not
obvious how we can get from making descriptive statements to prescriptive.

Materialism - the theory that the only thing that exists is matter or energy; that all things are
composed of material and all phenomena (including consciousness) are the result of material
interactions. In other words, matter is the only substance, and reality is identical with the
actually occurring states of energy and matter. To many philosophers, materialism is
synonymous with physicalism. However, materialists have historically held that everything is
made of matter, but physics has shown that gravity, for example, is not made of matter in the
traditional sense so physicalism is used to emphasize a connection to physics and the physical
sciences.
Mind-Body Problem - arises because mental phenomena arguably differ, qualitatively or
substantially, from the physical body on which they apparently depend. There are a few major
theories on the resolution of the problem. Dualism is the theory that the mind and body are
two
distinct substances, and monism is the theory that they are, in reality, just one substance.
Monist materialists/physicalists take the view that they are both matter, and monist idealists
take the view that they are both in the mind. The absence of an empirically identifiable
meeting point between the non-physical mind and its physical extension has proven
problematic to dualism and many modern philosophers maintain that the mind is not
something separate from the body.

Moral Relativism - describes the way things are, without suggesting a way they ought to be.
It seeks only to point out that people frequently disagree over what is the most moral course
of action. Moral Relativism holds the position that the truth or falsity of moral judgments is
not
objective. Justifications for moral judgments are not universal, but are instead relative to the
traditions, convictions, or practices of an individual or a group of people. The moral relativist
might say, "It's moral to me, because I believe it is." Moral Relativism holds that because
there is no universal moral standard by which to judge others, we ought to tolerate the
behavior of others, even when it runs counter to our personal or cultural moral standards.

Naturalism - the philosophical viewpoint that natural laws and forces (as opposed to
supernatural ones) operate in the universe, and that nothing exists beyond this natural
universe, or, if it does, it does not affect the natural universe that we know. Followers of
naturalism assert that natural laws are the rules that govern the structure and behavior of the
universe, that the universe is a product of these laws, and that the goal of science is to
discover and publish them systematically. Further, this sense of naturalism holds that spirits,
deities, and ghosts are not real and that there is no "purpose" in nature.

Nihilism - is the philosophical doctrine suggesting the negation of one or more putatively
meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential
nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Positivism - is a philosophy of science based on the view that in the social as well as natural
sciences, data derived from sensory experience, and logical and mathematical treatments of
such data, are together the exclusive source of all authentic knowledge. Obtaining and
verifying data that can be received from the senses is known as empirical evidence. Society
operates according to laws like the physical world. Introspective and intuitional attempts to
gain knowledge are rejected.

Postmodern Philosophy - is a philosophical direction that is critical of the foundational

assumptions and structures of philosophy. Postmodern philosophy is skeptical or nihilistic
toward many of the values and assumptions of philosophy that derive from modernity, such as
humanity having an essence that distinguishes humans from animals, or the assumption that
one form of government is demonstrably better than another. It is usually associated with the
following philosophical trends: nihilism and relativism, neo-marxism, neo-pragmatism, and
neo-existentialism.

Pragmatism – is a philosophical tradition centered on the linking of practice and theory. It

describes a process where theory is extracted from practice, and applied back to practice to
form what is called intelligent practice. Pragmatism is based on the premise that the human
capability to theorize is necessary for intelligent practice. Theory and practice are not separate
spheres; rather, theories and distinctions are tools or maps for finding our way in the world.
Pragmatism holds that an ideology or proposition is true if it works satisfactorily, that the
meaning of a proposition is to be found in the practical consequences of accepting it, and that
unpractical ideas are to be rejected.
Physicalism - is a philosophical position holding that everything which exists is no more
extensive than its physical properties; that is, that there are no kinds of things other than
physical
things. According to physicalism, the language of physics is the universal language of science
and, consequently, any knowledge can be brought back to statements on the physical objects.
In contemporary philosophy, physicalism is most frequently associated with the mind-body
problem where it holds that all that has been ascribed to "mind" is more correctly ascribed to
"brain" or the activity of the brain.

Rationalism - is any view appealing to reason as a source of knowledge or justification. In

more technical terms, it is a method or a theory in which the criterion of the truth is not
sensory but intellectual and deductive. Different degrees of emphasis on this method or theory
lead to a range of rationalist standpoints, from the moderate position that reason has
precedence over other ways of acquiring knowledge, to the more extreme position that reason
is the unique path to knowledge.

Realism - is the belief that reality is independent of our conceptual schemes, linguistic
practices, beliefs, etc. Philosophers who profess realism state that truth consists in the mind's
correspondence to reality. Realists tend to believe that whatever we believe now is only an
approximation of reality and that every new observation brings us closer to understanding
reality.

Romanticism - was an artistic revolt against aristocratic social and political norms of the Age
of Enlightenment and a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature. Romanticism
placed new emphasis on such emotions as trepidation, horror, terror, and awe - especially
which experienced in confronting the sublimity of untamed nature. Romanticism was rooted in
the German Sturm und Drang movement, which prized intuition and emotion over
Enlightenment rationalism.

Scientism - refers to a belief in the universal applicability of the scientific method and
approach, and the view that empirical science constitutes the most authoritative worldview or
most valuable part of human learning to the exclusion of other viewpoints. Scientism describes
the dogmatic endorsement of scientific methodology and the reduction of all knowledge to
only that which is measurable.

Skepticism - Philosophical skepticism is an approach that denies the possibility of certainty in

knowledge, whereas methodological skepticism is an approach that subjects all knowledge
claims to scrutiny with the goal of sorting out true from false claims. Skeptics critically
examine meaning systems. Skeptical examination often results in a position of ambiguity or
doubt.

Solipsism - is the idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist. Solipsism holds that
knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure. The external world and other
minds cannot be known, and might not exist outside the mind.

Stoicism - taught that destructive emotions resulted from errors in judgment, and that a
sage, or person of moral and intellectual perfection, would not suffer such emotions. Stoics
presented their philosophy as a way of life, and they thought that the best indication of an
individual's philosophy was not what a person said but how they behaved.

Tautology - is an unnecessary repetition of meaning, using dissimilar words that effectively

say the same thing. A rhetorical tautology can also be defined as a series of statements that
comprise an argument, whereby the statements are constructed in such a way that the truth of
the proposition is guaranteed, or that the truth of the proposition cannot be disputed, by
defining a dissimilar or
synonymous term in terms of another self-referentially. Tautologies play a role in analytic
discussions of logic and what it is possible to know.

Teleology - any philosophical account that states final causes (purposes, aims, and goals) exist
in nature, meaning that design and purpose analogous to that found in human actions are
inherent also in the rest of nature.

Tran’s humanism - is an international intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the
possibility and desirability of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing
and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human
intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. Tran’s humanist thinkers study the
potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental
human limitations, as well as study the ethical matters involved in developing and using such
technologies.

Utilitarianism - is an ethical theory holding that the proper course of action is the one that
maximizes the overall happiness. It is thus a form of consequentialism, meaning that the moral
worth of an action is determined only by its resulting outcome, and that one can only weigh
the morality of an action after knowing all its consequences.

Analytic Philosophy - In the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Scandinavia,

Australia, and New Zealand, the overwhelming majority of university philosophy departments
identify themselves as "analytic" departments. Analytic philosophy is often understood as
being defined in opposition to continental philosophy. The term "analytic philosophy" can
refer to a tradition of doing philosophy characterized by an emphasis on clarity and argument,
often achieved via modern formal logic and analysis of language, and a respect for the natural
sciences. In this sense, analytic philosophy makes specific philosophical commitments: 1) the
positivist view that there are no specifically philosophical truths and that the object of
philosophy is the logical clarification of thoughts. This may be contrasted with the traditional
foundation that views philosophy as a special sort of science, the highest one, which
investigates the fundamental reasons and principles of everything. As a result, many analytic
philosophers have considered their inquiries as continuous with, or subordinate to, those of the
natural sciences. 2) The view that the logical clarification of thoughts can only be achieved by
analysis of the logical form of philosophical propositions. The logical form of a proposition is
a way of representing it (often using the formal grammar and symbolism of a logical system)
to display its similarity with all other propositions of the same type. However, analytic
philosophers disagree widely about the correct logical form of ordinary language. 3) The
rejection of sweeping philosophical systems in favor of close attention to detail, common
sense, and ordinary language.

Continental Philosophy – This refers to a set of traditions of 19th and 20th century
philosophy from mainland Europe. Continental philosophy includes the following
movements: German idealism, phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, structuralism,
post-structuralism, French feminism, the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, and some
other branches of Western
Marxism. Continental philosophers generally reject scientism, the view that the natural
sciences are the best or most accurate way of understanding all phenomena. Continental
philosophers often argue that science depends upon a "pre-theoretical substrate of experience,
and that scientific methods are inadequate to understand such conditions of intelligibility."
Continental philosophy usually considers the conditions of possible experience as variable:
determined at least partly by factors such as context, space and time, language, culture, or
history. Continental philosophy typically holds that conscious human agency can change the
conditions of possible experience: "if
human experience is a contingent creation, then it can be recreated in other ways." Thus
continental philosophers tend to take a strong interest in the unity of theory and practice, and
tend to see their philosophical inquiries as closely related to personal, moral, or political
transformation. This tendency is very clear in the Marxist tradition ("philosophers have only
interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it"), but is also central
in existentialism and post-
structuralism. Continental philosophy has an emphasis on metaphilosophy. In the wake of the
development and success of the natural sciences, continental philosophers have often sought
to redefine the method and nature of philosophy. In some cases, such as German idealism or
phenomenology, this manifests as a renovation of the traditional view that philosophy is the
first, foundational, a priori science. In other cases, such as hermeneutics, critical theory, or
structuralism, it is held that philosophy investigates a domain that is irreducibly cultural or
practical. And some continental philosophers, such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, or Derrida,
doubt whether any conception of philosophy can be truly coherent.

What are the three main branches of philosophy? The integrity of these divisions cannot
be rigidly maintained, for one area overlaps into the others.
 Axiology: the study of value; the investigation of its nature, criteria, and metaphysical status.
 Epistemology: the study of knowledge.
 Ontology or Metaphysics: the study of what is really real and deals with the
meaning of existence and tries to resolve the question of whether existence is
identical with space, time, nature, spirit or God

Philosophical method (or philosophical methodology) is the study of how to do philosophy.

A common view among philosophers is that philosophy is distinguished by the ways that
philosophers follow in addressing philosophical questions. There is not just one method that
philosophers use to answer philosophical questions.

Systematic philosophy attempts to provide a framework in reason that can explain all
questions and problems related to human life. Examples of systematic philosophers include
Plato,
Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, and Hegel. In many ways, any attempts to formulate a
philosophical method that provides the ultimate constituents of reality, a metaphysics, can be
considered systematic philosophy. In modern philosophy the reaction to systematic
philosophy began with Kierkegaard and continued in various forms through analytic
philosophy, existentialism, hermeneutics, and deconstructionism.

Some common features of the methods that philosophers follow (and discuss when
discussing philosophical method) include:
 Methodic doubt - a systematic process of being skeptical about (or doubting) the
truth of one's beliefs.
 Argument - provide an argument or several arguments supporting the solution.
 Dialectic - present the solution and arguments for criticism by other philosophers,
and help them judge their own.

What is the difference between science and philosophy? The main difference is in the
way they work and treat knowledge. Science is concerned with natural phenomena, while
philosophy attempts to understand the nature of man, existence, and the relationship that
exists between the two concepts. Meanwhile, science is only concerned with the latter.
What is the difference between a religion and a philosophy? Philosophy in general is the
rational investigation of truth, whereas religion often makes the same kind of truth claims but
doesn't claim to base it on reason or rationality, but instead it is based on other things like
faith.

What is the meaning of man in philosophy? From Latin “Humanitas”, the concept of
Man means human nature, general culture of the mind. It is also “men” in general, the
human race taken as a unit. Most philosophers defined as any human being endowed
with reason.

What is the difference between a philosopher and a theologian? In attempting to wrap

my mind around the basic vocabulary, concepts, and methods of philosophy, I find myself
wondering what the difference is between a philosopher and a theologian. Theology is a
rational study of the existence of God/gods and the nature of religious ideas.

What are the practical benefits of studying philosophy? The hallmark of philosophy
education is critical thinking and inductive reasoning. Additionally, philosophy demonstrates
that problems often have multiple solutions, and teaches its students to approach problems
from a number of different perspectives ("lateral thinking").

METAPHYSICS IN GENERAL AS TO PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

This is a branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract
concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space. An abstract
theory or talk with no basis in reality.

Metaphysics can be described as all of the following:

 Branch of philosophy – philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems,
such as those connected with existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and
language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by
its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.
 Academic discipline – branch of knowledge that is taught and researched at the college
or university level. Disciplines are defined (in part), and recognized by the academic
journals in which research is published, and the learned societies and academic
departments or faculties to which their practitioners belong.

Branches of metaphysics
Cosmology – a central branch of metaphysics that studies the origin, fundamental structure,
nature, and dynamics of the universe.
 Physical cosmology – study of the largest-scale structures and dynamics of the Universe and
is concerned with fundamental questions about its formation, evolution, and ultimate fate.
 Big Bang cosmology (standard) – cosmology based on the Big Bang model of the
universe. The Big Bang is a theoretical explosion from which all matter in the
universe is alleged to have originated approximately 13.799 ± 0.021 billion years
ago.
 Non-standard cosmology – any physical cosmological model of the universe that has
been, or still is, proposed as an alternative to the Big Bang model of standard physical
 cosmology.
 Plasma cosmology – a non-standard cosmology whose central postulate is that the
dynamics of ionized gases and plasmas, rather than gravity, play the dominant roles
in the formation, development, and evolution of astronomical bodies and large-scale
structures in the universe.
Religious cosmology – body of beliefs based on the historical, mythological, religious, and
esoteric literature and traditions of creation and eschatology.
 Biblical cosmology – biblical writers' conception of the Cosmos as an organized,
structured entity, including its origin, order, meaning and destiny.
 Buddhist cosmology – description of the shape and evolution of the Universe
according to the Buddhist scriptures and commentaries.
 Hindu cosmology – In Hindu cosmology the universe is cyclically created and
destroyed. The Hindu literature, such as Vedas, and Puranas, cite the creation of the
universe. They describe the aspects of evolution, astronomy, etc.
 Jain cosmology – description of the shape and functioning of the physical and
metaphysical Universe (loka) and its constituents (such as living beings, matter,
space, time etc.) according to Jainism, which includes the canonical Jain texts,
commentaries and the writings of the Jain philosopher-monks.
 Taoist cosmology – cosmology based on the School of Yin Yang which was headed
by Zou Yan (305 BC – 240 BC). The school's tenets harmonized the concepts of the
Wu Xing (Five Phases) and yin and yang. In this spirit, the universe is seen as being
in a constant process of re- creating itself, as everything that exists is a mere aspect of
qi, which, "condensed, becomes life; diluted, it is indefinite potential".
 Esoteric cosmology – cosmology that is an intrinsic part of an esoteric or occult
system of thought. Esoteric cosmology maps out the universe with planes of
existence and consciousness according to a specific worldview usually from a
doctrine.

Ontology – a central branch of metaphysics. Ontology is the study of the nature of being,
becoming, existence, or reality, as well as the basic categories of being and how they relate to
each other. In simpler terms, ontology investigates what there is.
 Mereotopology – deals with the relations among wholes, parts, parts of parts,
and the boundaries between parts.
 Meta-ontology – investigates what we are asking when we ask what there is.

Metametaphysics – branch of metaphysics concerned with the foundations of metaphysics

(which is concerned primarily with the foundations of reality). It asks: "Do the questions of
metaphysics really have answers? If so, are these answers substantive or just a matter of how
we use words? And what is the best procedure for arriving at them—common sense?
Conceptual analysis? Or assessing competing hypotheses with quasi-scientific criteria?"

Philosophy of religion
 Philosophical theology – branch of theology and metaphysics that uses
philosophical methods in developing or analyzing theological concepts.
 Natural theology – branch of theology and metaphysics the object of which is the
nature of the gods, or of the one supreme God. In monotheistic religions, this
principally involves arguments about the attributes or non-attributes of God, and
especially the existence of God
- arguments which are purely philosophical, and do not involve recourse to any
supernatural revelation.
AREAS OF LOGIC
Logic (from the Greek "logos", which has a variety of meanings including word, thought,
idea, argument, account, reason or principle) is the study of reasoning, or the study of the
principles and criteria of valid inference and demonstration. It attempts to distinguish good
reasoning from bad reasoning.
What is the history of logic? The history of logic deals with the study of the development
of the science of valid inference (logic). Formal logics developed in ancient times in India,
China, and Greece. The Stoics, especially Chrysippus, began the development of predicate
logic.

What are the different types of logic? There are two types of logical arguments - deductive
and inductive. Examples of these are: Deductive – This type of reasoning provides complete
evidence of the truth of its conclusion. It uses a specific and accurate premise that leads to a
specific and accurate conclusion.

What is an example of logic? One type of logical reasoning is deductive. Deductive

reasoning uses information from a large set and applies that information to any member of that
set. For example: All English professors are boring (major evidence or premise) Lauren is an
English professor (minor evidence or premise)

What are the three types of reasoning? Combining these two forms of logical reasoning
together with the three different types results in the following distinguish in logical
reasoning:
 Deductive. Formal deductive reasoning. Informal deductive reasoning. Is reasoning
that is done through the process of inferring a general law or principle from the
observation of particular instances to a general conclusion.
 Inductive. Formal inductive reasoning. Informal inductive reasoning. Is reasoning
through a process that is from general principle to specific included within the
scope of that principle
 Abductive. Formal abductive reasoning.

What are the basic principles of logic? Laws of thought, traditionally, the three fundamental laws
of logic: (1) the law of contradiction, (2) the law of excluded middle (or third), and (3) the
principle of identity. That is, (1) for all propositions p, it is impossible for both p and not p to
be true, or symbolically ∼(p. ∼p), in which ∼ means “not” and.

Who is the father of logic? Aristotle (384—322 B.C.E.) Aristotle is a towering figure in
ancient Greek philosophy, making contributions to logic, metaphysics, mathematics, physics,
biology, botany, ethics, politics, agriculture, medicine, dance and theatre. He was a student of
Plato who in turn studied under Socrates.

What is the difference between reason and logic? The primary difference between logic
and reason is that reason is subject to personal opinion, whereas logic is an actual science
that follows
clearly defined rules and tests for critical thinking. Logic also seeks tangible, visible or audible
proof of a sound thought process by reasoning.

What is the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning? This is because
inductive reasoning starts with a conclusion and deductive reasoning starts with a
premise.
Therefore, inductive reasoning moves from specific instances into a generalized conclusion,
while deductive reasoning moves from generalized principles that are known to be true to a
true and specific conclusion.
 Is Psychology a logic? The psychology of reasoning is the study of how people reason,
often broadly defined as the process of drawing conclusions to inform how people solve
problems and make decisions. It overlaps with psychology, philosophy, linguistics, cognitive
science, artificial intelligence, logic, and probability theory.

AXIOLOGY
Axiology is the philosophical study of value. It is either the collective term for ethics and
aesthetics, philosophical fields that depend crucially on notions of worth, or the foundation for
these fields, and thus similar to value theory and meta-ethics. Seeks to rationalize the
questions like what is value and what are the values to be desired in living and the likes

Subdivisions of Axiology: Ethics and Aesthetics

 Ethics: the study of values in human behavior or the study of moral problems: e.g.,
(1) the rightness and wrongness of actions, (2) the kinds of things which are good or
desirable, and
(3)whether actions are blameworthy or praiseworthy.
 Aesthetics is also spelled esthetics) is a branch of philosophy that explores the
nature of art, beauty, and taste, with the creation and appreciation of beauty.

Syllogism is a form of deductive reasoning where you arrive at a specific conclusion by

examining two other premises or ideas. Syllogism derives from the Greek word syllogismos,
meaning conclusion or inference. Some syllogisms contain three components: Major Premise.
Minor Premise.

HUMAN ACT

 Types of Utilitarianism - Are individual or egoism, and social or altruism, which is
the greatest good for the greatest number
Defective norms of morality - Are the different philosophical beliefs about morality
which somehow do not conform to the universally accepted standards of human
morality
 Moral rationalism - Is the belief that human reason is the sole source of all
moral laws advocated by Immanuel Kant of Persia
 Moral Evolutionism - Is the idea that morality is not absolute but keeps on
changing until such time that it reaches the perfect state, which is advocated by
Friedrich Nietzsche Humanism - Was a philosophy that rejected supernaturalism,
regarded man as a natural object and asserted the essential dignity and worth of
man and his capacity to achieve self
 realization through the use of reason and scientific method
Moral Positivism - Advocates that state laws are the bases of all moral laws, ergo it is
good if it is in accordance with the laws and anything that opposes the state laws must
be rejected as advocated by Thomas Hobbes
 Realism - Is the type of education in which natural phenomena and social institutions
rather than language and literature are made the chief subjects if study. Advocates
that education should be concerned with the actualities of life and prepare for its
concrete duties
 Moral Sensism - Is the belief that man is endowed with special moral sense that
can distinguish good or evil meaning that an action is moral if it is in harmony with
this human sense and immoral if not in harmony with this sense
 Disciplinism - Asserted that the mind is made up of certain faculties such as memory,
reason, will, judgment, etc. And each of which needs special activities for its training
and development
