 Activity1
By the use of graphic organizer, present the elements of a profession

1 Initial Professional Education – Professionals generally begin their professional lives by

completing a university program in their chosen fields – teacher education, engineering,
nursing, accountancy. This means long and arduous years of preparation

2. Accreditation - University programs are approved by a regulatory body like the

Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the Philippines to ensure that graduates
from these recognized programs start their professional lives with competence.

3. Licensing- Licensing is mandatory not voluntary and is administered by a

government authority. In the Philippines, this government authority is the Professional
Regulation Commission (PRC).

Professional Development – This is an ongoing professional education that maintains or

improves professionals’ knowledge and skills after they begin professional practice. In
the Philippines, this is Continuing Professional Development mandated by RA 10912,
otherwise known as the CPD Act of 2016.

PANGASINAN STATE UNIVERSITY 2

5. Professional Societies - Professionals see themselves as part of a community of like-
minded individuals who put their professional standards above the individual self-
interest or their employer’s self-interest. These professional societies put dedication to
the public interest and commitment to moral and ethical values. Professional societies
define certification criteria, manage certification programs, establish accreditation
standards and define a code of ethics and disciplinary action for violations of that code. 

6. Code of Ethics - Each profession has a code of ethics to ensure that its practitioners
behave responsibly. The code states what professional should do. Professional can be
ejected from their professional societies or lose their licenses to practice for violating the
code of ethics. (McConnell, Steve, The teaching profession is governed by the Code of
Ethics for Professional Teachers. Violation of the Code Ethics for professional teachers is
one of the grounds for the revocation of the professional teacher’s Certificate of
Registration and suspensions from the practice of the teaching profession (Sec. 23., RA
7836).  

1. Why does a profession like teaching require long years of initial professional education and
continuing professional development after that long, arduous initial professional education?
It is very important because it helps to build confidence to and strength also it helps to
trained themselves to become a successful educator someday.

Bernard Shaw’s play: Man and Superman: “Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.”

People who are able to do something well can do that thing for a living, while people who are
not able to do anything that well make a living by teaching. Having learned the elements of a
profession, do you agree with Bernard Shaw? Explain your answer.
