values development projects; and,

The Miriam College Foundation (MCF) Model

 The general goal of this model is to empower the person of the Filipinos teacher so that
he or she can develop the whole person of the adolescent Students who’s is sitting at his
or her foot. It has the following Objectives:

1. To prepare psychologically to undertake a personal change process;

2. To experience value clarification as a strategy in classroom learning;
3. To clarify and reinforce the thrust of the DECS for values education;
4. To learn facilitative ways of responding in a helping relationships;
5. To learn the effective use of the Total Person Experiential Learning (TPEL); and,
6. To gain inspiration and courage in facing back-home situation.
This Process helps the learner’s through reflection to know the facts or concepts, to put
these into action and also to appreciate, to love and be committed to what they learn and
do. In other words the learner’s whole person, his complete self, mind, heart and body does
the total learning.
A very positive attribute of this model is it’s emphasis on the development of the total
person and on the facilitative role of the teacher in Values Education. Another strength of
the MCF Model is it’s workshop approach which uses a blend of several exercises drawn
from other known valuing exercises or designed specifically for the activity. Such activities
require the active involvement of the teacher, hence fulfilling the experiential dimension.
It’s main thrust is limited to candid confrontation with an expression of personal feelings.
