INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES
There are three lessons in the module. Read each lesson after which
you answer the exercises/ activities to find out how much you have
benefited from it. Work on the exercises carefully and submit your output to
your professor. In case you encounter difficulty discuss with your professor
during the online meeting.
Lesson 1
TEACHING AS A PROFESSION
If you take teaching as your profession, this means that you must be
willing to go through a long period of preparation and continuing
professional development. For teachers to be able to give more, continuing
education is a must. You cannot give what you do not have. You must strive
for excellence because the end goal of a profession is service and you
cannot achieve such excellence if you stop learning. Likewise, commit
yourself to moral, ethical and religious values, your bedrock foundation, and
dedicate yourself to public service.

Lesson 2
Pre-colonial period
Spanish period
Schools for boys and for girls were then opened. Colegios were
opened for boys, ostensibly the equivalent to present day senior high
schools. The Universidad de San Ignacio, founded in Manila by the Jesuits in
1589 was the first colegio. Eventually, it was incorporated into the
University of Santo Tomas, College of Medicine and Pharmacology following
the suppression of the Jesuits. Girls had two types of schools - the beaterio,
a school meant to prepare them for the convent, and another, meant to
prepare them for secular womanhood.
Among those who benefited from the free public education system
were a burgeoning group of Filipino intellectuals: the Ilustrados
('enlightened ones'), some of whom included José Rizal, Graciano López
Jaena, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Mariano Ponce, and Antonio Luna--all of whom
played vital roles in the Propaganda Movement that ultimately inspired the
founding of the Katipunan.
First Republic
American period
About a year after having secured Manila, the Americans were keen
to open up seven schools with army servicemen teaching with army
command-selected books and supplies. In the same year, 1899, more schools
were opened, this time, with 24 English-language teachers and 4500
students.
Several other laws were passed throughout the period. In 1902, Act
No. 372 authorized the opening of provincial high schools.
1908 marked the year when Act No. 1870 initiated the opening of the
University of the Philippines, now the country's national university.
Third Republic
In 1947, after the United States relinquished all its authority over the
Philippines, President Manuel Roxas issued Executive Order No. 94 which
renamed Department of Instruction into Department of Education. During
this period, the regulation and supervision of public and private schools
belonged to the Bureau of Public and Private Schools.
Fourth Republic
Fifth Republic
In 2006, the Education for All (EFA) 2015 National Action Plan was
implemented. It states: "The central goal is to provide basic competencies
to everyone, and to achieve functional literacy for all. Ensuring that every
Filipino has the basic competencies is equivalent to providing all Filipinos
with the basic learning needs, or enabling all Filipinos to be functionally
literate. "

LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Application:
Lesson 3
If you are doing it only because you are paid, it's a job;
If you are doing it not only for the pay but also for service, it's a mission;
If you quit because your boss or colleague criticized you, it's a job;
If you keep on teaching out of love, it's a mission;
If you teach because it does not interfere with your other activities,
it's a job;
If you are committed to teaching even if it means letting go of other
activities, it's a mission;
If you quit because no one praises or thanks you for what you do, it's a job;
If you remain teaching even though nobody recognizes your efforts,
it's a mission;
It's hard to get excited about a teaching job;
It's almost impossible not to be excited about a mission;
If our concern is success, it's a job
If our concern in teaching is success plus faithfulness in our job,
teaching is a mission
An average school is filled by teachers doing their teaching job;
A great school is filled by teachers involved in a mission of teaching.
Teaching as a Vocation
Vocation comes from the Latin word “vocare” which means to call.
Based on the etymology of the word, vocation, therefore means a call. If
there is a call, there must be a caller and someone who is called. There
must also be a response.
surrounding their call. But in their great faith they answered YES. The fact
that you have enrolled in teaching signifies that you positively responded to
the call to teach, right? May this YES remain YES and become even firmer
through the years. Believe it that through teaching, as a vocation you can
do the best for others, for your fellowmen in the name of service.
Teaching as a Mission
Teaching is also a mission. The word mission comes from the Latin
word “misio” which means “to send.” The Webster’s New Collegiate
Dictionary defines mission as “task assigned.” You are sent to accomplish an
assigned task.
You are called to be a teacher and you are sent into the world to
accomplish something, to teach. You are sent to accomplish an assigned
task, you proclaim “mission accomplished”. Therefore teaching is your
mission, the task entrusted to you in this world. Your four years of pre-
service will equip you with knowledge, skills and attitudes to become
effective teacher. You’ve got to prepare yourself. Don’t take your studies
for granted. You’ve embarked in a mission that calls for a continuing
professional education. As the saying goes “once a teacher, forever a
student.” Your unique and most significant contribution to the humanization
of life is in the field where you are prepared for teaching.
Dear Teacher:
So I am suspicious of education.
My request is: Help your students become human.
Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled
psychopaths, and *Eichmanns.
(Eichman – An Austrian who became the Nazi official who administered the concentration
camps where millions of Jews were murdered during World War II, 1936-1945.)
There may be times, when you will feel like giving up (many leave
teaching after 3 or 5 years for varied reasons). Remember you responded to
the call to teach and that you have accepted the mission to teach. May you
be found faithful to your vocation and mission until the end.
