Application Let's Apply

1. Teacher observes that when students submit report, the more

ornate and artistic the folder is, the less substantial the
report. Which weakness in the Filipino character is pointed
to? If you were the teacher how do you counteract such?
Answer:
 Emphasis on porma rather than substance - This lack of
analysis and emphasis on form is reinforced by an
educational system that is more from than substance. As a
future teacher you must have criteria for grading, you
should not look only to the appearance of the output but
instead you should look for the substance of the output.

2. In line with the government's austerity program, DepEd

reiterates the following policies:
a. Graduation rites should be simple but meaningful to
encourage civil rights, a sense of community, and
personal responsibility. While these rites mark a
milestone in the life of the learners, these should be
conducted without excessive spending, extravagant
attire or extraordinary venue;
b. Moving Up or Completion Ceremonies should be simple,
involving only the learners, their parents and the
school; and
c. Non-academic projects such as attendance to field
trips, film showing, Junior-Senior promenade, and
other school events should not be imposed as
requirements for graduation or completion. (D.O. 02, &
2019)

Which of the weaknesses of the Filipino does this DepEd Order

wish to help eliminate? Explain.
Answer:
 As I contemplate the DepEd policies presented, I think they
trying to eliminate the “kanya-kanya syndrome” in Filipinos.
When we say kanya-kanya syndrome it is a negative attitude
which it generates a feeling of envy and competitiveness to
gain some status or prestige.

 Aside from the influences of the formal curriculum, there
are the influences of the hidden curriculum, ie, the values
taught informally by the Philippine school system. Schools are
highly authoritarian with the teachers as central focus. The
Filipino student is taught to be dependent on the teacher, so he
attempts to record verbatim what the teacher says and to give
this back in its original form with little processing during
examination.

Teachers reward well-behaved and obedient students and are

uncomfortable with those who ask questions and express different
viewpoints... Critical thinking is not learned in school Does
this picture still hold true today? Why or why not?

Answer:
 No, because at present we are in the era of the so called
21st century wherein teachers are facilitator of learning
facility and the best philosophy today is learning by doing.
As a college student, we are tasked with engaging and
expanding our thinking skills. One of the most important of
these skills is critical thinking. Critical thinking is
important because it relates to nearly all tasks,
situations, topics, careers, environments, challenges, and
opportunities. It’s a “domain-general” thinking skill-not a
thinking skills that’s reserved for one subject alone or
restricted to a particular subject area
