Module 4: The Professionalization of Teaching

Week 7-8

Rationale:

In the last four decades, we have seen favourable developments in the teaching
profession to ensure “that all children have access to skilful teachers to make the teaching
profession more attractive to talented young adults, and to produce humane and intellectually
lively learning communities for both students and teachers” as Hammond, Professor of
Education at Stanford University says.

Professionalization is a process whereby occupations have become, or seek to become,

publicly recognized as professions according to the degree to which they meet the alleged
criteria can be seen as having two strands. One strand is concerned with the improvement of
status. The other strand is concerned with the improvement of the capacity of members to
enhance the quality of service which is provided.

Professionalizing the teaching industry advances the profession as a whole and goes a
long way to create better opportunities for student success. Bloom Board uses the data
collected from free observational and evaluation tools to create individualized learning plans and

Discussion
Basic Laws on the Professionalization of Teaching

“ Ignorance of the Law excuses no one”

This old adage is one of the most famous saying we’ve heard everywhere. Let us start our
discussions in the legal aspect of education. As of today, it is very important that the teaching
profession has its legal bases.

On January 1, 1977, The Presidential Decree 1006, entitled Providing for the Professiona-
lization of Teachers, Regulating their practice in the Philippines, otherwise known as the
Decree Professionalizing Teaching was Proclaimed. With this presidential proclamation, teaching
Became professionalized in the Philippines. The proclamation of PD 1006, was premised on the
Following:
1. “The institution of the country have relied upon...teachers whose direct and continuing
Interaction with the young people and the children make them potent forces for the
development of proper attitudes among the citizenry.
2. There is a tremendous growth of the teaching population, comprising in the civil
Service sector alone more than 300,000 teachers deployed all over the country.
3. To ensure that in the immediacy and urgency of teacher recruitment, qualitative
Requirements are not overlooked; it has become necessary to regulate the teaching profession.
4. Teaching requires a number of years of collegiate study, it is the only course that is not
Yet considered a profession and
5. 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”
