2. 17. ESSENTIALISM WHYTOTEACH WHATTOTEACH HOWTOTEACH This
philosophy contends that teachers teach for learners to acquire basic knowledge, skills
and values The emphasis is on academic content for students to learn the basic skills or
the fundamental R’s, ‘riting, ‘rithmetic, right conduct – as these are essential to the
acquisition of higher or morecomplex skills needed in preparation for adult life. • They
are expected to be intellectual and moral models of their students. • They are seen as
“fountain” of information and as “paragon of virtue”, if ever there is such a person.
3. 18. PROGRESSIVISM WHYTOTEACH WHATTOTEACH HOWTOTEACH Teach to
develop learners into becoming enlightened and intelligent citizens of a democratic
society •Are identified with need-based and relevant curriculum •This group of teachers
teaches learners so they may live life fully NOW not to prepare them for adult life. •
Teachers employ experiential methods. • They believe that one learns by doing For John
Dewey, the most popular advocate of PROGRESSIVISM, book learning is no substitute
for actual experience. One experiential teaching method that progressivist teachers
heavily rely on is the PROBLEM SOLVING METHOD. “ You will learn more of this in
your principles and strategies of teaching 1”

should, therefore, develop the students’ rational and moral power. According to Aristotle
“ if we neglect the students, reasoning skills, we deprive them of the ability to use their
higher faculties to control their passions and appetites.” •Is universal one on the view that
all human beings possess the same essential nature. •It is not specialist curriculum but
rather a general education. • The perinnialism classroom are “centered around teachers.” •
The teachers do not allow the students interest or experience to substantially dictate what
they teach.
5. 20. EXISTENTIALISM WHYTOTEACH WHATTOTEACH HOWTOTEACH Help the
students to understand and appreciate themselves as unique individuals who accept
complete responsibility for their thought, feelings and action. •Students are given a wide
variety of options form which to choose. •Students are affordable great latitude in their
choice of subject matter. • Focus on individuals • In the use of such strategy, teachers
remain NON- JUDGEMENTAL and take care not to impose their values on their
students since values are personal
6. 21. BEHAVIORISM WHYTOTEACH WHATTOTEACH HOWTOTEACH Schools are
concerned with the modification and shaping of students’ behavior by providing for a
favorable environment , since they believe that they are a product of their environment.
Techers teach to respond favorably to various stimuli in the environment Teachers ought
to make the stimuli clear and interesting to capture and hold the learners attention
7. 22. LINGUISTIC PHILOSOPHY WHYTOTEACH WHATTOTEACH
HOWTOTEACH Teachers teach to develop in the learners the skills to send messages
clearly and receive messages correctly. Learners should be taught to communicate clearly
 – how to send clear, concise messages and how to receive and correctly understand
messages sent. Teacher should make the classroom a place for the interplay 3 ways in
communication take place 1. Verbal he sharing of information between individuals by
using speech. 2. Non-Verbal It includes the use of visual cues such as body language
(kinesics), distance (proxemics) and physical environments/appearance, of voice
(paralanguage) and of touch (haptics). 3. Non-Verbal refers to how we say the words we
say, for example do we seem happy, sad, angry, determined or forceful
8. 23. CONSTRUCTIVISM WHYTOTEACH WHATTOTEACH HOWTOTEACH

searching, critique evaluating information, etc. The teacher provide students with data or
experience that allow them to hypothesize predict, manipulate objects, pose questions,
research, investigate, image and invent
