 LESSON 1:
TEACHING AS A VOCATION
Vocation comes from the latin word

"VOCARE" which means CALL.

 VOCATION
FOR CHRISTIANS

The caller is GOD Himself.

FOR MUSLIMS

The caller is ALLAH.

Most often, when people use the word "VOCATION", it

refer as professionals and teaching be recognized as a

profession.
IN 1994
RA. 7836
The Philippine Teachers Professionalization act
of 1994 was passed to:

SECTION 2.

"Promote quality education by proper subdivision and

regulation of the licensure examination and
professionalization of the practice of the teaching
profession."
PRE-HISPANIC
There was no established

formal schooling in the

country.

There was no formal

presentation for

teachers.

The Mother and Father and

Tribal leaders served as

teachers at home and in the

community.
SPANISH PERIOD
By virtue of Educational

Decree of 1863, free public

school system was

established.

There was one school for

boys and another school for

girls in each municipality.

The Spanish missionaries

served as teachers.
PAZ RAMOS
Once Dean of the College of Education of the University of
the Philippines (UP, Diliman) claims that:

"The foundations of the teacher education in the Philippines were laid by the
Spanish government during the mid-eighteenth century. It is said to have
begun on August 4, 1765, when King Charles of Spain issued a Royal Decree
requiring each village to have a 'MEASTRO'. On November 28.1772, another
Royal Decree specified the qualifications of teachers. However, it was not
until 1863 that there was a specific attempt to systematize and update the
education in Filipino teachers."
 So, it was the Spaniards who started training teachers
in normal schools. But the Spanish era were closed for a

time by Aguinaldo's government.

AMERICAN REGIME
American soldiers served

as the first teachers.

In 1901, the Philippine

Commission enacted into law

Act 74 which created the

Department of Public

Instruction
AMERICAN REGIME
The Philippine Commission

authorized the Secretary of Public

Instruction to bring the Philippines

600 teachers from US.

They were called the Thomasites.

The Americans gave bright

young Filipino students

opportunity to take up higher

education in American

colleges and universities.

AMERICAN REGIME
The same Act also provided for the

establishment of Philippine

National School (PNS) in Manila.

In 1928, PNS became a junior

college offering a two-year

program to graduates of

secondary schools.
AMERICAN REGIME
In 1949, the PNS, renamed

Philippine Normal College, offered

the four-year Bachelor of Science in

Elementary Education.

In 1928, PNS became a junior

college offering a two-year

program to graduates of

secondary schools.
This means that the present four-year preparation for

the professional teacher began as a two-year program

only.
