MODULE 1
Intended Learning Activity:
1.Explain in a sentence why each education philosopher was associated with these given words
a) John Locke-The Empiricist
- because he believed that knowledge was founded in empirical observation and experience.
b) Spencer- The Utilitarianist
- He believed that people in an industrialized society needed a utilitarian education in order to
learn useful scientific skills and subjects. Learning should be a sensory experience where a
student interacts within his/her environment ; a slow, gradual, and inductive process.
c) John Dewey- Experience
- Dewey believed in the continuity of experience, or the connection between a student's learning
experiences and that student's future decisions and behavior. He also believed that educational
experiences required interaction between the student and their environment in order to be
effective.
d) George Counts- Building a new social order
- He wanted teachers to go beyond abstract, philosophical conceptions of democracy and teach
explicitly about power and injustice. He wanted teachers and students to count among their
primary goals the building of a better social order.
e) Theodore Brameld- The Social Reconstructionist
- He believed that education had the responsibility to mold human beings into a cohesive and
compassionate society.
f) Paula Freire- Critical pedagogy vs. banking method
- Instead of tacitly promoting oppressive relationships through the banking method of education,
Freire chooses the process of critical pedagogy as his pedagogical model. This is because
critical pedagogy utilizes dialogue among human beings who are equals rather than oppressive
imposition.
2. What is isolated facts and banking method? Is this good? why? Why not?
- The term banking model of education was first used by Paulo Freire in his highly influential
book Pedagogy of the Oppressed. ... This is the "banking" concept of education, in which the
scope of action allowed to students extends only as far as receiving, filing, and storing the
deposits. No .,,, Because The disadvantages of the banking approach include: Lack of Critical
Thinking: When teachers expect students to accept their word as unquestionable truth, there is
no scope for use of cognitive skills to critique of the information presented.

Make a table summary of the philosophies of education
Philosopher
John Locke “The Empiricist
Educator”
Herbert Spencer “Utilitarian
Education”
John Dewey “Learning
through Experience”
George Counts “Building a
New Social Order”
Theodore Brameld “Social
Reconstruction”
Paula Freire “Critical
Pedagogy”
Philosophy on Aim/s and
Method/s of education
Acquire knowledge about the
world through the sense-
learning by doing and by
interacting with the
environment
Spencer’s concept of
“Survival of the fittest” means
that human development had
gone through an evolutionary
series of stages from the
simple to the complex and
from the uniform to the move
specialized kind of activity
Education is a social process
and so school is intimately
related to the society that it
serves
Education is not based on
eternal truths but is relatives
to a particular society living at
a given time and place.
Technological era is an era of
independence and so
education must be
international in scope for
global citizenship
Freire’s critical pedagogy is
problem posing education
Classroom/School Application
For John Locke education is
not acquisition with concrete
experience, comparing and
reflecting on the same
concrete experience. The
learner is an active not a
passive agent of his her own
learning.
To survive in a complex
society, Spencer favors
specialized education over
that of general education. We
are in need of social
engineers who cam combine
harmoniously the findings of
specialized knowledge. This
particularly true in the field of
medicine.
Schools are democratic
institutions where everyone
regardless of age, enthnicity,
social status is welcome and
is encouraged to participate in
the democratic process of
decision-making. Learners
and stakeholders practice and
experience democracy in
schools’
For George Counts, schools
and teachers should be
agents of change. Schools are
considered instruments for
social improvement rather
than as agencies for
preserving the status quo.
Whatever change we work for
should always be change for
the better not just change for
the sake of change.
Education less of race and
social status must enjoy
Challenge yourself. If you are
not thinking critically and
challenging social structures,
you cannot expect your
students to do it

Module 2
Intended Learning Activity
1. In not more than two sentences, state the relationship of society and schools.
- Society and the schools are inextricably linked.
2. What is meant by socialization as function of schools?
-That education is a function of society and as such what are taught in schools arise from
the nature and character of society itself. What society considers important is what schools
teach.

Evaluation
1.Prove that schools transmit cultural values by stating facts from educational history in the
world and in the Philippines.
- Besides socialization, another significant manifest function of school is the transmission of
cultural norms and values to new generations. Schools help to mold a diverse population into
one society with a shared national identity and prepare future generations for their citizenship
roles.
