LESSON 2 – TOPIC 1
(Act. No. 1)
Answer :
Learning is not a competition: No more 1st, 2nd or last in class for primary and
secondary students
SINGAPORE – Whether a child finishes first or last will no longer be indicated
in primary and secondary school report books from next year – a move which
Education Minister Ong Ye Kung hopes will show students that “learning is not
a competition”.
Report books will not just stop showing a student’s position in relation to class
or cohort. The information to be dropped includes:
Class and level mean
Minimum and maximum marks
Underlining and/or coloring of failing marks
Pass/fail for end-of-year result
Mean subject grades
Overall total marks
LIR5 (English plus five relevant subjects), L1R4, EMB3 (English,
Math, best three subjects) and EMB1 for lower secondary level
The Ministry of Education (MOE) said on Friday (Sept 28) that the change is
to allow each student to focus on his or her learning progress and discourage
them from being overly concerned about comparisons.
From next year all examinations for Primary 1 and 2 pupils will also be
removed, and whatever forms of assessment they have will not count
towards an overall grade.
Answer :
Herbert Spencer’s view is that individual competition leads to social
progress and the one who is fittest survives. It was Herbert Spencer who
actually coined the phrase"survival of the fittest" which depicted a constant
struggle amongst the species. As a result of this continual struggle, the
stronger species survived and multiplied while the weaker species perished.
On the other hand, competition is not encouraged in Singaporean educational
system. So, from these two views of education, the latter one is whom I would
agree. I would rather be in an educational system where you could study
without competing others than studying where the only mentality is how to
survive at your own without thinking others also. An education with a mindset
of competing others is a toxic environment to be with. However, if an
educational system encourages you on how to survive without competition, is
a great place to be with.

Answer :
Because of the legacy of numerous colonizers of our country, such as
Spaniards, Americans, and Japanese, the emphasis of education changes for
different groups of people, different locations, and at different times in world
history. Since the emphasis of education is dependent on its culture, it
changes over time depending on the need and resources of that age.
As society transforms, education also transforms. Philippine education is a
clear example of a boat sailing in a body of changes and challenges because
of its educational system that both shifting its paradigms and efforts of reform
within education that leads to an awareness of new ideas and new needs.The
educational reformation of the Philippines manifested in every Filipino people's
efforts from different places and periods taken to adjust in a diverse learning
environments designed to meet the needs of all learners of those times. Today,
the focus of education is on the expanding access and ensuring more Filipinos
to receive a decent basic education, as a means of reducing poverty and
improving the societal competitiveness. For a reason that society and schools
are intertwined to each other.
The schools reflect society, and society reflects the schools. That linkage
contains the dynamics for the improvement of education. Education is not only
part and parcel of those schools in which it is offered but also of the society
that gave it birth.
2. Given the different characteristics of the different periods in Philippine
history, what were the goals of education / schools during the:
a. Pre-colonial
Answer :
During the pre-colonial period, most children were provided with solely
vocational training but lesser academics for them to be good fathers and
mothers, which was supervised by parents, tribal tutors or those assigned for
specific, specialized roles within their communities. In most communities,
stories, songs, poetry, dances, medicinal practices and advice regarding all
sorts of community life issues were passed from generation to generation
mostly through oral tradition.
Most children received only vocational training during the pre-colonial era,
which was supervised by parents, tribal tutors, or those assigned to unique,
specialized positions within their communities (for example, the babaylan). In
most cultures, oral tradition was used to pass down stories, songs, poems,
dances, medicinal practices, and guidance on a wide range of community
issues. Although there are other syllabus used in the archipelago, some
cultures used a writing method known as baybayin, which was widely used
and varied.
b. Spanish period
Answer :
When the Spanish first arrived in the Philippines, education of the
indigenous people was mainly viewed as the duty of religious organizations.
Parish friars put forth great effort to teach the indigenous people to read
believing that literacy was the key to better lifestyles. Education during this
period was formal and organized and was managed, supervised, and
controlled by the friars.The focus of education during the Spanish Colonization
of the Philippines was mainly religious education. The Catholic doctrine
schools that were set up initially became parochial schools which taught
reading and writing along with catechism. Spanish missionaries established
schools immediately after reaching the islands. The schools are focused on
religious formation to help them live the Christian faith. Aside from the teaching
of new industrial and agricultural techniques.
c. American regime
Answer :
During the American regime all children have an equal access to quality
education and experience the system of free and compulsory elementary
education that was established by the Malolos Constitution it was The
Educational Decree of 1863, where attendance in school was compulsory
between the ages of seven and twelve during that time as they promote the
democratic ideals and democratic way of life. The Americans were keen to
open up seven schools with army servicemen teaching with army
command-selected books and supplies. More schools were opened, this time.
High schools were created and the curriculum focused on practical job skills
that would better prepare students for professional white collar or skilled blue
collar work. They educated the Filipinos to become good citizens of a
democratic country.
d. Japanese regime
Answer :
The aims to make the Filipinos understand the position of the Philippines
as a member of the East Co-Prosperity sphere. Fostering new Filipino culture
and people's morale is being raised by removing the over-emphasis on
materialism. This period dedicated to the spread of the Japanese language in
the Philippines and the abolition of English in schools. This era is more in
promotion of vocation education, he dissemination of elementary education
and the love for labor.
d. Post-colonial period
Answer :
Education aimed at the full of realization of the democratic ideals and way
of life in order to achieve the following goals: to foster love of country; to teach
the duties of citizenship; to develop moral character self-discipline; and for
scientific, technological and vocational efficiency.
3. DepEd’s mission is “to protect and promote the right of every Filipino to
quality, equitable, culture based, and complete basic education.” Has the
Philippine educational system from pre-colonial to present given equal access
to quality, culture-based and complete basic education? Or was it a privilege of
a few? Explain your answer.
Answer :
I could assert that the Philippines' educational system, from pre-colonial
times to the present, has somehow not provided equal access to high-quality,
culture-based, and comprehensive basic education. Pre-colonial education is
not gender sensitive because each gender has different teachings to learn,
and the teachings are not always safe. Education at the time was focused on
vocational training rather than academics. The Spanish Era does not have
equal access to quality because only the ilustrados and Spaniards are
permitted and can afford to attend school, and each school has a different
teaching style. During the American regime, people began to have equal
access to high-quality, culturally-based, and comprehensive basic education.
And from the post-colonial period up to the present day, it maintain the status
of educational system that give an equal access to quality, culture based and
complete basic education because of the law that being implemented and
follow, the Filipinos has lot of privilege from American regime up to the present
not unlike the past.
On the other side, as of now, the government has allocated and financed a
substantial amount of money to the education sector. They have services to
assist parents who are having difficulty supporting their children's studies.
They have scholarships and a variety of services to help develop the
Philippines' educational system, but there are still gaps. Looking around, we
see that there are still street children and children who have chosen to stay at
home because they have been unable to attend school. Yes, the Philippines
has provided for education, but this is insufficient because it does not reach its
full potential. To equitable education we are all have equal opportunity in
education, men and women, private or public, regardless of their social class,
race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity background or physical and mental
disabilities. To culture based education, student learning the values, norms,
knowledge, beliefs, practices, and language that are the foundation of Filipino
culture excluding any ethnocentrism idealism instead promoting cultural
relativism. Lastly, complete basic education of the Philippines is not only being
accessible to all, it must be of the highest quality. And it is not a
government-granted privilege; it is a legal right for everyone – children, teens,
and adults. As a piece of advice, we should support one another and not waste
the opportunities provided by the government so that, as professionals, we can
have an effect on transforming the country toward eradicating illiteracy and
poverty, allowing us to finally call the Philippines a progressive country.
ASSESSMENT
3. Can school change the socializing effect of family, the primary agent of
socialization? Can an excellent school undo the socializing effect of an
extremely deprived home?
Answer :
Yes, the school will influence the family's socializing impact, but this will
take time because the family is the most powerful socializing agent in almost
every society. Its primary significance stems from its role as the primary
socializer of young children. Children engage with others and learn about
society's principles, norms, and beliefs from their relatives. However, the
socialization process that children go through at home could be carried over to
their school experiences. We refer to the school as our second home because
it will act as a home for the children. Since then that we start our educational
journey we continue our socialization process in school wherein we are guided
by our second parents which is the teachers. Throughout their vocation as a
teacher, they have shape our minds and help us to recognize our talents and
goals. To some teachers, it is nothing but a job that pays the bills. Others, on
the other hand, consider it their life. The academic relationship between
teachers and their students has evolved as a result of constant socialization.
Even our classmates cannot deny that we treated them as biological siblings
as we formed a friendship bond with them. Both parents and teachers play an
important role in shaping a child's academic and social development,
particularly in socialization.
Teachers, I believe, play a more important role than parents when children
start school because they spend the majority of their time there and parents
rarely have time to teach them. For reason that school is important because it
is a tool to help prepare us for life. Not only can we learn the basic skills to read,
write, and do the arithmetic but we can learn about peoples, places, and nature.
Able to learn how to interact positively with their peers and teachers. They
learn about healthy relationship skills and develop them further through
interactions, both in the classroom and in the home. Both home and school are
important agents in socialization. Parents should support after school learning
by interacting with their child positively about school and teachers, providing a
supportive environment at home, and nurturing the child's interests. Being
involved in a child's education shows that parents support their learning. This
is the reason why parents and teachers should cooperate to achieve its utmost
result in children's social skills.
ASSIGNMENT
LESSON 2 – TOPIC 2
(Assignment No. 2)
1. Should college education be for all? Or should it be given only to those who
are intellectually capable of college education? Those who are not should be
directed to technical education. Isn’t giving access to college education for one
who is not intellectually capable a waste of time and resources? Was that not
the very purpose of the National College Entrance Examination then – to
redirect to technical vocational courses those who were not capable of a
college course? Write your reflections.
Answer :
College education should be for all, because if everyone were
well-educated and created a much more competitive economy, this would help
the nation very well. Each citizen would also benefit the government itself by
offering its own degree. Therefore we must have a fair education, which will
provide equal opportunities, whether private or private, for women, for men, for
men or for women, irrespective of their social class, race, gender, sexuality,
ethnicity or physical and mental disability. We need to change the learner's
view that only those who are intellectually capable should obtain a college
education. What about those who have developmental disabilities? There
would be no such thing as an illiterate person in the world if everyone,
regardless of their disabilities, had the ability to learn to read and write. Some
people were suffering from illiteracy and ignorance as a result of stereotyping
and unfair treatment of our society's pitiful lower social class. That is why
education should be available to all, not just a select few, regardless of
intellectual ability.and we should never estimate someone's capability because
we are not in a position to judge and stop them from achieving their dreams.
Also, those who are mentally disabled should not be guided toward technical
education because each of us is gifted with a unique quality that distinguishes
us from others.
Every human being possesses a unique set of skills, talents, and abilities.
We are different because we have different desires and inclinations. It's
possible that someone excels in their preferred courses but not in technical
ones, or vice versa. We can't assume that anyone with poor grades in high
school would have no more chances to pursue college education based solely
on their previous grades, because I know many people who have had poor
grades and are now successful. Don't give up if you're getting bad grades.
Study and pray even more hardly and faithfully. Let us eliminate any college
requirements that restrict a student's ability to choose their educational
courses and prevent them from discovering undiscovered dreams and
potentials. Because, first and foremost, it is their life, not ours, and it is never a
waste of time or money to allow a learner who is not intellectually capable
access to a college education.
Since it is a fundamental human right of every Filipino learner, as
guaranteed by the 1987 Constitution, the State shall protect and promote all
citizens' right to a quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic
education at all levels, and shall take appropriate steps to make education
available to all. And most importantly, since we are all made equal in God's
eyes, no one should be considered as a waste and burden to society. Also, if
the purpose of the NCEE is to redirect those who are not capable of a college
course to technical-vocational courses, it is very ineffective because if we only
based on the results of NCEE scores, it would greatly affect those who
received low score results without considering their external factors why they
failed the NCEE exam at that time. Redirecting a learner to
technical-vocational only because he/she received a low score does not imply
that he/she was not intellectually capable, because I believe that if everyone
is given attention and a chance to learn with, there will be no
intellectually challenged learner.
