Interview a teacher on how they uphold the educational provision of the Philippine
 constitution based on:
a. Providing/ improving quality education
b. Applying the child protection law

Answer:

A. Providing / Improving Quality Education

Basically, we educators are the providers as well as an instrument in giving quality
education which the students needed most. In the delivery of quality education, we are the
frontlines in the implementation of new curriculum; utilize strategies and a role model that
enhance our skills in the delivery of this service for the benefits of the students. As educators,
we have to provide and improved varied strategies/ activities employed by the teacher during
discussions and classroom preparation that suits the needs and interest of the learners as well
as their nature and level of understanding.
In order to produce more graduates who are globally competitive, sensitive and knows
how to dwell in different real life situation, we should address the deteriorating quality of
education in the Philippines internally and be heard by the Department of Education. Provision
for enough reference materials, textbooks, facilities such as rooms that is conducive for
learning, modern technology for instructional use, readymade lesson exemplars, trainings and
seminars to upgrade skills and competencies of teachers.
On the other hand, our ultimate goal is to increase the performance level of our students
thru quality education. In the delivery of quality education, we should enhance the capability of
the teachers through trainings, seminars and workshops, address the special needs and interest
of the students through various activities and strategies that develops their skills and broaden
their knowledge. We should consider values integration, improving outcomes for student poverty
and new trends in curriculum nowadays.
In this matter, there should be unity among us to address the problems and issues
concern in the field of education in order to have quality education here in the Philippines.

B. Applying the child protection

In education, we should cater the child protection amongst the students in order to
exercise their rights for good quality education that they can use in the near future. The students
should have the privileges to have a free access of education for the betterment of his future.
The students has the right to be heard regarding his complains in the instructions,
facilities and problems they have encountered in the school in order to meet the needs and
interest of the students.

C. Corporal Punishment

Nowadays, corporal punishment is one of the main concerns in the field of education
wherein students and teachers involvement is present. In fact, they said that there was a time
that corporal punishment is effective in the teaching-learning process because student is afraid
not to follow their teachers because of the punishment they have to face, it develops self-
discipline. But if you will analyze the situation, it is not right to give corporal punishment among
the student because it can lead to traumatic experience. In the Philippines, corporal punishment
is prohibited.

Advocates of school corporal punishment argue that it provides an immediate response to

indiscipline and that the student is quickly back in the classroom learning, rather than being
suspended from school. Opponents believe that other disciplinary methods are equally or more
effective. Some regard it as tantamount to violence or abuse.

Discipline in the raising and teaching of children is necessary if they are to become social,
productive, and responsible adults. Punishment is only one method of disciplining, and corporal
punishment is only one aspect of punishment. In analyzing the effects of punishment on
children's behavior, Ross Parke (1972) has discussed much of the research and its implications.
He found that punishment is less effective in facilitating learning and resisting the disapproved
behavior the longer the punishment is delayed. As expected, severe punishment is more
effective than less intense stimuli. Whereas high intensity punishment was found to be equally
effective early or late, the less intense method was more effective when applied early than later.
In other words, a less aversive punishment is more effective when it is used immediately
following the maladjusted behavior than it would be if time were allowed to pass. However,
explaining the reasoning for what is correct behavior and what is not has been shown to be
more effective than punishment alone, and can make delayed punishment just as effective as
the immediate application. Also the reasoning and cognitive structuring procedures have proven
to be more long-lasting in their influence. Thus intense punishment can be effectively avoided.

The ties of affection between punishing agent and the child punished also influence the
effectiveness of controlling behaviour
In summary, effective punishment is immediate, consistent, explained rationally, and
administered by someone who has an affectionate relationship with the recipient. It is important
that children be shown positive directions and learns what is correct behavior.
