PRELIM
Reflection

What I've learned in this chapter, the teachers thought, values and actions are somehow shaped by
events and by people with whom they come in contact. They, in turn, help, shape society, its events,
people, and its destiny. The teachers have the significant role in the community. They are the ones who
creates another profession. Without them, maybe we do not have to be called literate people and those
good leaders of the country. Just like for examples a president, police officers to protect and help to solve
crimes, we do not have attorneys, engineers, doctors and others. In short, teachers help to build lives
through education by educating the minds of the youth.
I have also learned that the philosophy of education is an essential one. Through this
philosophies, you can determine what strategy of teaching you have to use. I realize that without this
philosophical heritage the school cannot exist just like the curriculum. This thing is very significant in
terms of teaching. Because it will give ideas on what to teach, how to teach, and how were going to use it.
So in short, it serves as a guide on the path of teaching. As a future teacher, it depends on what
philosophy of education you are using. As long as you can be effective and in the same time efficient in
your work. Doing what is right and doing the right things for the best possible method.
I learned that there are many ways to be a teacher. Teaching as a vocation because it is a calling.
Perhaps you never dreamt of becoming a teacher but you are nowhere to become one. Teaching is also a
mission. This word mission comes from the Latin word “mission" which mean “to send”. You are called
to be a teacher and you are sent into the world to accomplish a mission to teach. Teaching is a mission
because it is an assigned task. You are expected to write an “accomplishment report at the end of your
mission. Teaching is also a profession. It is our way of rendering service to humanity. You have the
willingness to go through a long period of preparation and a continuing professional development. You
must strive for excellence, commit yourself to moral, ethical and religious values and dedicate yourself to
public service. I realize that teaching could be a mission, vision, and profession. You are here because of
the purpose. And that purpose is to teach, to educate and to help people to be literate.
As a future teacher, If I live up to my name as a professional teacher, then I believe that a
meaningful and fulfilled life will not be far behind. No doubt this can readily happen when teaching has
become my passion.
