1. Should schools produce generalists or specialists? Defend your answer.

Schools need to produces generalists because it is semi-prepared for a wide

variety of occurrences rather than generalists, it is more prepared for one or few occurrences. It is
important that we are prepared for many things in different times, it is not enough that we only
focus on one or two things we also need to learn more but there are limitations. The picture that I
indicated below is the perfect chart to tell the beauty and essential of generalist in our life
specially in our everyday routine. And schools need to enhanced the different skills of the
student for them to be able to have career flexibility and more knowledgeable. For me specialists
are good cause its brings you to less job or limited options because you only have specific part of
expertise, but it’s not bad, what I really want to point is generalists is more important to
enhanced and learn.

2. Learning is not a competition in Singapore. I Am in favor of this or not?

Let me give a chance to state in this paper both side of mine before my
conclusions. In positive side of competition helps to Improved teamwork and
collaboration, strengthening academic self-concept, increasing intrinsic motivation,
Improving risk analysis. While Negative competition is when we compete with others in
such a way that we want to win at the expense of the other person or people involved. In
other words, our success is predicated on their failure. And it also dictates the students to
make wrong decisions just to win. It also results to overthinking, competition will make
you focus on your competitor instead of focusing on your progress. All in all, as a student

I liked to promote the concept of no competition because I want children learned a lot
about relationships, value of friendships and to study adequately in a good environment
with no hesitation of this and those. I am not in favor to the concept of competition in
studying it makes student uncomfortable if ever they not get what they want.

3. Address of Senator. Shahani at National Academy of Science and Technology at its 15 th

Annual Scientific Meeting, July 07, 1993 in Manila. (Underlined those parts that
emphasizes development in moral and ethical values as most necessary to effect
change. Do you agree with her thoughts in these underlined sentences?)

“Chronic problems in such vital areas as agricultures and industry, rural development and
land reform could be overcome if some of the values such as love of country, discipline,
honesty, accountability and teamwork were practiced on a daily basis in Government offices
and political circles, as well as by the people themselves.”

It is important to hone the ethical and moral skills that will shape us to love our country
as a nation not only in selected areas but in its entirety. as well as the discipline and honesty that
will lead them to good and proper living whether you are in positions or ordinary persons that are
part of society to maintain peace with each other. Taking into account the welfare and well-being
of all people in the right way and not overpowering evil over good.

4. ‘’Will this go with John Dewey’s Philosophy of Education?” Explain your answer.

“If you cannot bring the learners to the world, bring the world to the classroom” Yes it
agrees with John Dewey’s Philosophy of Education because he believe that education is not
based on eternal truths but is relative to a particular society living at a given time and place. We
need as teachers to prepare our students for the real battle of life in real events and not only
based on the books but also on our experiences because we as teachers are their guide, so that

they will not be left behind and they will learn what is right and only right. We teachers should
lead the society rather than follow it.

5. Considering DepEd mission statement “to promote and protect the right of every Filipino
to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education” can we say that
Philippine educational system is in a sense equitable? What actions and what recent
legislations are proofs that the Philippines gives equal access to quality education to its
citizens?

REPUBLIC ACT No. 10931

AN ACT PROMOTING UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO QUALITY TERTIARY

EDUCATION BY PROVIDING FOR FREE TUITION AND OTHER SCHOOL FEES.

Free tuition means equal access to education. It shows President Duterte's sincerity to
provide us equal opportunity and access to quality education. Remember that the President
signed the law which grants free tuition to all SUCs and LUCs in the country amid concerns
raised by his economic team that it would have serious effects on the government’s budget. And
now, they are really sourcing funds to sustain the program,"

6. Is free tertiary education really pro-poor in the sense that it is the poor who are indeed
benefited? Justify your answer.

Yes, because it only shows that the government cares about those who are more in need
and our suffering countrymen who have a dream and want to graduate to help others in need as
well as their community where they were belong. We cannot deny that many of our students are
poor and rely on government assistance so it is a big deal for them, for us to lift our families out
of poverty considering the goal of helping others as well.

7. Paulo Freire opposed the banking method of education and favored critical pedagogy.
Why? The banking method is characterized as a vertical relationship while critical
pedagogy is characterized by a horizontal type of relationship.

Paulo Freire against in Banking method because Freire argued that this model reinforces
a lack of critical thinking and knowledge ownership in students, which in turn
reinforces oppression, in contrast to Freire's understanding of knowledge as the result of a
human, creative process. The relationship developed through the banking method between the
teacher and the students is characterized by insecurity. And Freire favor in critical pedagogy
because the central of it is dialogue, that shows love and respect that allow us to engage people
in dialogue and to discover ourselves in the process and learn from one another. This relationship
is democratic insofar as both the teacher and the student are willing and open to the possibility of
learning from each other. With this type of relationship, no one is above anyone, and there is
mutual respect. Both the teacher and the student acknowledge that they each have different
experiences and expertise to offer to each other so that both can benefit from the other to learn
and grow as human beings.
