2. Trace the historical development of teaching as a profession in the Philippines.
A. Teaching as a Profession
Group yourselves into five (5) and give situations or instances where you can apply or use the word “professional”.
Example: Me and my husband is planning to renovate our house, and we want it to be professionally done.
B. The Historical Development of Teaching as a Profession in the Philippines
Let’s find out how much you know about the history of teaching in the country. Write TRUE if the statement is
correct and FALSE if it is wrong.

Teaching as a profession
The word “professional” implies one who possess skill and competence / expertise. Professional are who en-
force ethical/technical standards. Profession has two elements: a) competence and b) a Code of Ethics.
3
lOMoARcPSD|17147383
Teaching as a profession
When we say profession it refers to “work”, “job”. “career”, “occupation”.
If teaching is a profession then:
1. It requires to go through a long years of professional education
2. To through continuous education
3. Strive for excellence
4. Commit yourself to moral, ethics, ethical and religious values and dedicate to service.
Teaching Profession should be recognized as both complex and challenging, requiring high standards or
professional competence and commitment. The need for a strong focus on teachers knowledge, skills, values and
dispositions is a feature of the developing things across the world.
The word “professional” implies one who possess skill and competence / expertise. Professional are who
enforce ethical/technical standards. Profession has two elements: a) competence and b) a Code of Ethics.
The other elements of a profession are:
a. Initial Professional Education – Professionals generally begin their professional lives by completing a university
program in their chosen fields. This means long and arduous years of preparation. Take note this is just initial,
which means only the beginning because a professional is expected to learn endlessly.
b. Accreditation – University programs are approved by a regulatory body like the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) in the Philippines to ensure that graduates from these recognized programs start their
professional lives with competence.
c. Licensing – Licensing is mandatory and is administered by a government authority. In the Philippines, this
government authority is the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC)
d. Professional Development – This is an ongoing professional education that maintains or improves
professionals’ knowledge and skills after they begin professional practice. In the Philippines, this is Continuing
Professional Development mandated by RA 10912, otherwise known as the CPD Act of 2016.
e. Professional Societies – Define certification criteria, manage certification programs, establish accreditation
standards and define a code of ethics and disciplinary action for violations of that code.
f. Code of Ethics – The code states what professionals should do. Professionals can be ejected from their
professional societies or lose their licenses to practice for violating the code of ethics. (McConnell), Steve,
Source: http://www.alexsbrown.com/prof9.html, Retrieved 6-3-18)
The teaching profession is governed by the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers. Violation of the Code of
Ethics for professional teachers is one of the grounds for the revocation of the professional teacher’s Certificate of
Registration and suspension from the practice of the teaching profession (Sec. 23., RA 7836)

Teaching became a profession in 1976 with PD. 1006. The requirement of a licensure examination for teachers that
puts teaching at par with the other professions was enacted only in 1994 with the passing of RA. 7836, otherwise
known as The Teachers’ Professionalization Act.
During the pre-Hispanic period, there was no established formal schooling in the country. So,
there was no formal preparation for teachers, too. The mothers and fathers and tribal leaders served
as teachers at home and in the community.
During the Spanish period and by virtue of Educational Decree of 1863 free public-school
system was established. There was one school for boys and another school for girls in every
municipality. The Spanish missionaries served as teachers. The same Decree provided for a normal
school run by the Jesuits to educate male teachers in Manila. Normal schools for women were not
established until 1875. So, it was the Spaniards who started training teachers in normal schools.
In 1901, the Philippine Commission enacted into law Act 74 which created the Department of Pub-
lic Instruction, laid the foundations of the public-school system, and offered free primary education for
Filipinos and the American soldiers served as the first teachers. Due to shortage of teachers The Philip -
pine Commission authorized to bring the Philippines 600 teachers from USA. They were the Thomasites.
Free education in public schools was provided all over the country, in accordance with the
1935 Constitution. Vocational Education and some household activities like sewing, cooking, and
farming were also given importance. Education also emphasized nationalism so the students were
taught about the life of the Filipino heroes. Good manners and discipline were also taught to the
students. The institute of private education was established in order to observe private schools.
The aims of education during Japanese occupation is to make the people understand the
position of the Philippine as a member of the East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and fostering a new
Filipino culture based on the consciousness of the people as Orientals. It also aims to elevate the
moral of the people giving up over-emphasis on materialism, diffusion of elementary education and
promotion of vocation education and lastly developing in people the love of labor.
During the post-colonial period education aimed at full of realization of the democratic ideas
and way of life. The Civil Service Eligibility of teachers was made permanent pursuant to R.A. 1079 in
June 15, 1954. A daily flag ceremony was made compulsory in all schools including the singing of the
National Anthem pursuant to R.A. 1265 approved on June 11, 1955.
The first legal document that professionalized teaching was Presidential Decree 1006 issued by then
President Ferdinand E. Marcos. It was only in 1976 with PD 1006 known as the Decree Professionalizing Teaching
that teachers in the Philippines became professionalized. Furthermore… “in recognition of the vital role of teachers in
nation-building and as an incentive to raise the morale of teachers, it is imperative that they be considered as
professionals and teaching be recognized as a profession.” (P.D. 1006)
5
lOMoARcPSD|17147383
Then in 1994, R.A. 7836, otherwise known as the Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994, was
passed to… “promote quality education by proper supervision and regulation of the licensure examination an
professionalization of the practice of the teaching profession.: (Section 2)
The Educational Decree of 1863 is the law that gave Filipinos a complete system of education from
elementary to the collegiate level. The law provided for the establishment of the elementary schools in all
municipalities in the country. Although religion was the core of the curriculum, the curriculum included subjects
reading, writing, arithmetic, history, Christian doctrine, Spanish language, vocal music, agriculture for the boys and
needlework for the girls.
Executive Order No. 134 (of 1936) was signed by Pres. Manuel L. Quezon designating Tagalog as our
National Language. Executive Order No. 217 otherwise known as the Quezon Code of Ethics was taught in schools.
Executive Order No. 263 in (1940) required the teaching of the Filipino, national language in the senior year of all
high schools and in all years in the normal schools.
The Education Act of 1940 (C.A. 586) provided for the following:
• Reduction of the 7-year elementary course to 6 years
• Fixing the school entrance age at 7
• National support for elementary education
• Compulsory attendance of primary children enrolled in Grade 1
• Adoption of double-single sessions in the primary grade with one teacher one class assignment of intermediate
teachers.
Act 74 of 1901 also provided for the for the establishment of Philippine Normal School (PNS) in Manila. The
Philippine Normal School formally opened in September 1901, as an institution for the training of teachers.
During the Post Colonial Period Curricular offerings in all schools, the life, the works and writings of Jose Rizal
especially the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo shall be included in all levels and the Magna Carta for Teachers
was passed into law by virtue of R.A. 46
Teaching became a profession in 1976 with PD. 1006. The requirement of a licensure examination for teach-
ers that puts teaching at par with the other professions was enacted only in 1994 with the passing of RA. 7836, oth -
erwise known as The Teachers’ Professionalization Act.
There was no formal preparation for teachers during the pre-Hispanic times. The formal training of teachers
began during the Spanish period when men were trained as maestros by The Jesuits. A few years later maestras
were also trained. In 1901, a two-year preparation for teachers was given by the Philippine Normal School. Then the
two years became four years since the two-year academic preparation was seen inadequate. To ensure quality
teachers and to make teaching at par with other professions, in addition to a four-year teacher education course,
passing a licensure examination was made mandatory by RA. 7836.

1. Differentiate teacher as a vocation and mission.
A. Teaching as a Vocation and Mission

Group yourselves by 5 then discuss your answers to these questions:
1. Discuss the definitions and relatedness between vocation and mission.

2. Some teachers regard teaching as just a job. Others see it as their mission. What’s the
difference?
3. Are these two (vocation and mission) related?
Teaching as a vocation
Teach as a vocation If teaching as a vocation then it means:
• It is yes, to your call to teach
• Commit yourself in total transformation of the learner
• Teaching is a lifetime commitment thus aims through the years towards quality teaching
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 some who is called. Vocation includes
other big calling like marriage and single blessedness. It does not only refer to a religious vocation. It can also refer to
a call to do something like to teach, to heal the sick, etc. Whatever is our calling or station in life, that call is always to
serve.
We consider teaching as a vocation because its worthy to those who have gained degree in the chosen field
look back to their teacher as the one who molded them the most to become what they are now.
9
lOMoARcPSD|17147383
It is the bragging right of teaching that at least they could contribute

the life success of these students. For us, teaching, it is more fulfilling
when our students give us thumbs up for guiding the to adhere to what’s
right.
As the second parents of students, teachers play a key role in
instilling the right discipline in the students and for them to start young the
practice of good manners or right conduct which they carry in their life-
time, even as they become full-pledge professionals. We remember our
teachers for the way they imposed discipline actions in us when we were
young, that is the same feeling, we teach seem to pass on to the great &
failure services as we were also the beneficiaries of our teachers’ efforts.
Teaching as a Mission
If teaching is a mission, the it means:
• It is a task entrusted to you
• It is an assigned task, then it needs preparation
• It call for a continuous professional education
Teaching is also a mission. The word mission comes from the Latin word “mission” which means “to send”.
The Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary defines mission as “task assigned.” You are sent to accomplish an as-
signed task. If you faithfully accomplish the assigned task, you proclaim “mission accomplished.” You responded to
the call to be a teacher and so your mission in the world is to teach, the trust entrusted to you in this world. These
are how vocation and mission are related. You were called for a purpose, i.e, to accomplish a mission while on earth
which is to teach.
If it is your assigned task then naturally you’ve got to prepare yourself for it. From now on you cannot take your stud-
ies for granted! Your four years of pre-service preparation will equip you with the knowledge, skills and attitude to
become an effective teacher. However, never commit the mistake of culminating your mission preparation at the end
of the four-year pre-service education. You have embarked in a mission that calls for continuing professional devel -
opment. As the saying goes “once a teacher, forever a student.”
To teach is to do all of these and more! To teach is to influence every child entrusted in your care to become
better and happier because life becomes more meaningful. To tech is to help the child become more human.
Many people consider teaching as a profession while others consider it as a vocation. Both term are synony-
mous with each other , but I find two qualified words that make teaching as a vocation .
The words worthy and great fulfillment breaks the borderlines whether teaching is a profession, vocation or
mission. Teaching is a career where people get paid for the job. We consider teaching as a vocation because of the
10
lOMoARcPSD|17147383
dedication that one exerts to provide quality learning atmosphere to their students. A teacher spend most, him/her
time inside and outside the four walls of the classroom.
Teacher often spends lesser quality time for their families because most of their times devoted to teaching.
We know for a part that education is the best inheritance we can provide our children that’s why we do the teaching
well so that our students, not my own children, will learn more on the higher level education and gain their desired
vocation or profession.

Teaching Profession should be recognized as both complex and challenging, requiring high standards or pro -
fessional competence and commitment. The need for a strong focus on teachers knowledge, skills, values and dis -
positions is a feature of the developing things across the world.
The Teacher as Professional

A professional is one who went through long years of preparation to earn a teacher education degree
recognized by the Commission on Higher Education, after which he/she hurdled a Licensure Examination for
Teachers (LET) administered by the Board for Professional Teachers with the supervision of the Professional
Regulation Commission. By passing the LET, he/she obtains a license which he/she is obliged to renew every three
years on condition that he/she can show proof of Continuing Professional Development. As a professional teacher
he/she is expected to abide by the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers. Violation of the Code of Ethics can be
a ground for the revocation of license. These ensure that as a professional teacher, he/she practices his/her
profession with technical and ethical and moral competence.
This is exactly how the Code of Ethics of Professional Teachers define the
professional teacher. The teacher is a “licensed professional who posses dignity
and reputation with high moral values as well as technical and professional
competence… he/she adheres to, observes and practices a set of ethical and
moral principles, standards and values.”
16
lOMoARcPSD|17147383
A professional teacher demonstrates technical, ethical, and moral competence because of his/her long years
of initial professional education which led him/her to the earning of a college/university degree and passing the
licensure examinations. He/she goes through continuing professional development and abides by the Code of
Ethics for Professional Teachers. He /she possesses professional competence. This professional competence is
demonstrated in his/her professionalism, professional knowledge, in creating a favorable learning environment, in
excellent instructional planning, instructional delivery and assessment practices. It goes without saying that as a a
professional he/she has mastery of subject matter.

“Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much

The Code of Ethics for Professional Teacher was adapted and promulgated Board for Professional Teachers
through Board Resolution No. 435, series of 1997, pursuant to the provision of paragraph (e), Article II R.A. 7836
otherwise known as the Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994.
On the other hand, RA 9293 was enacted in 2004 which amended some significant provision of R.A.7836.
This is to support the move to get the best and the brightest for the teaching profession and hire competent teachers
in the classroom. The Code of Ethics serves as guide for Teacher specially to the new teachers for them to exhibit
proper behavior to the learning community at all times and to make ethical choices in the conduct of their teaching
profession.
The provision of quality education is a mandate of the Constitution to ensure quality education, teachers must
be competent and efficient and must be accountable for efficient and effective learning of the pupils. The Code of
Ethics likewise mandates that the teacher’s primary goal for the learners is to promote learning, inspire them, to
bring out their best and to help them become productive members of the society. However, the teacher can not
hone the potentials of the learner alone; he/she must collaborate with other teachers and all the stakeholders in
providing safe and friendly learning experiences to the learner. Teachers need to build strong relationships with
school stakeholders each as the parents, school administrators, local government officials, alumni, socio-civic
groups, the community, the government, and society and general. The DepEd classified the learner as primary
stakeholders, the parents as the secondary stakeholders and the government or the society as the tertiary stake-
holder.
The Internal stakeholders of the school include the learners, the teachers, the parents and school authorities.
The focus in this lesson is how the professional teacher relates with the learner, and other teachers and school au-
thorities.
