MADRASAH ARABIC LANGUAGE AND ISLAMIC VALUES EDUCATION

(ALIVE).

In Education everybody is equal, there are no such thing as rich

or poor, Christian or Muslim. Because here in the Philippines, many Filipinos

are Muslims that is why the Department of Education implemented a

MADRASAH ALIVE Program to ensure that even Muslim will gain education

using their own context, culture, beliefs and even their language.

With the use of this program, Muslim all over the country has the right to

be educated with their own context. Even if they are not in their own hometown

they will still be able to learn their way of living. It is a big opportunity for the

Muslims to be in this program because only few Public and Private schools in

the Philippines can teach in this program.

I believed that teachers in the program MADRASAH ALIVE go through

a tight trainings wherein they encounter different kind of cultures, beliefs,

language that they are not used to.

As a teacher, I really don’t know what does this MADRASAH ALIVE

program is doing. But being a part of a community that has a lot of Muslims. I

know that teachers teaches them the way they have used to be.

MULTIGRADE CLASS

Multigrade teaching is where teachers handle two or more curriculum

grades at the same time. When I stared to learn about the concept of multigrade

teaching, I realized that this approach can be helpful to areas that needs

attention to address issues on access to education such as remote and rural

areas, and areas that facing different types of conflict.

However, as someone who took education in the university prior to this

course, I realized that teachers were not prepared to handles classes with

special needs such as multigrade class. This can be very challenging to

teachers because of their monograde training in the university. However, given

the potential advantages of this approach, our education system can take focus

and give priority to train teachers, develop instructional materials, and develop

curriculum that would match mutltigrade teaching and learning.

As a teacher who have not yet experienced this multi grade class I know

that this is a big challenge. Having different kinds of grade level students that

you will have to teaches at the same is a big problem.
