I recently read the DepEd Order 42 series of 2016 which tackles about the preparation of DLLs
and DLPs prior to the subject matter. Upon reading it, I noted some implications of it on
Educational Philosophies and Psychologies.

This is the quote that I got from the D.O.:

Preparing for lessons through the Daily Lesson Log (DLL) or Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP) and
provides teachers with an opportunity for reflection on what learners need to learn, how
learners learn, and how best to facilitate the learning process.

By scrutinizing the quote, I can say that the practice of DLPs and DLLs are applicable to
ESSENTIALISM. In this theory, it is believed that a certain individual needs to go back to the
basics and will need to undergo every essential method or process in learning to make him
understand what he or she is studying for.

Continuing further, I quote:

These guidelines also aim to empower teachers to carry out quality instruction that
recognizes the diversity of learners inside the classroom, is committed to learners success,
allows the use of varied instructional and formative assessment strategies including the use
of information and communications technologies (ICTs), and enables the teacher to guide,
mentor, and support learners in developing and assessing their learning across the
curriculum.

I think the following quote applies the theory of Lev Vygotsky, by applying the scaffolding
idea. The teacher will recognize the diversity of learners (Existentialism) and use varied
instructional strategies (particularly, cooperative learning) to help the students supporting
each other, thus, providing an excessive amount of learning opportunity.
