COURSE GUIDE

I. Course Title
POS 112: The Teacher and Community, School Culture, and Organizational Leadership

II. Course Overview

A. Introduction
Teachers play a vital role in nation-building because the future is totally in their
hands. A nation is built by its citizens, citizens are molded by teachers, and teachers are
made by teacher educators. Teachers help shape the community and can direct
students in positive directions that they may not have pursued otherwise. Thus, the role of
the teacher in a positive school-community relationship is extremely important since it is
the teacher who is the backbone of the educational system.

Pursuant to CHED CMO No. 82 series of 2017, this is a foundation course


requirement for BA Political Science Degree in the School of Teacher Education and
Liberal Arts. Thus, this course aims to integrate the broad discipline of teacher education
to the realm of political science. Political science graduates who would be learned in
political thoughts, principles, theories, in the art and science of government, and the
broader social sciences in their pursuit of political or legal careers in the public or private
sectors, might as well find themselves landing in the teaching profession. This course is,
therefore, intended to provide the students of political science a general overview of
education and an outlook to the varied roles played by teachers in their character as
educators.

This course focuses on society as a context upon which the schools have been
established. Educational philosophies that are related to the society as a foundation of
schools and schooling shall be emphasized. Further, principles and theories on school
culture, social, and organizational leadership shall be included to prepare prospective
teachers to become school leaders and managers.

TEACHING-LEARNING FORMAT
This learning module applies the 5E Inquiry-Based Instructional Model which is
based upon cognitive psychology, constructivist theory to learning, and best practices
in STEM instruction (Bybee and Landes 1990). The 5E learning cycle leads students
through five phases: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate.

Engage – establish relevancy. Students


are engaged with a challenging situation, prior
knowledge is activated, questions are provoked.

In this first phase of the 5E Learning Cycle,


the teacher gauges student prior student
knowledge and/or identifies possible
misconceptions. This student-centered phase
should create a desire to learn more about the
forthcoming topic. The engagement phase is not
intended for the teacher to lecture, define terms,
or provide explanations (Duran and Duran 2004).

Explore – present the content. Students


investigate prior phenomenon, prior knowledge
is challenged, ideas are created.

The exploration phase provides students


with a common base of hands-on activities.
These activities will help students use prior
knowledge to inquire, generate new ideas, and
conduct a preliminary investigation (Bybee
2009). This phase of the learning cycle usually
incorporates the main inquiry-based experience
which nurtures students’ understanding (Duran
and Duran 2004).
COURSE LEARNING PACKETS TEMPLATE Document Code FM-STL-014
Saint Louis University Revision No. 01
School of Teacher Education and Liberal Arts Effectivity August 16, 2021
Page 19 of 52

Explain – improve understanding.


Students explain the phenomenon, new
knowledge is gained and applied.

The third stage in the instructional model


is more teacher-directed and guided by the
students’ experience in the previous phase
(Duran and Duran 2004). Students explain their
understanding of concepts and the teacher
corrects students’ misconceptions (Bybee 2009).
During this phase the teacher may provide
formal definitions, notes, and labels (Duran and
Duran 2004).

Elaborate – construct new learning.


Students apply their knowledge towards new
situations, knowledge is deepened and
extended.

In the elaboration phase students are


encouraged to apply their new
understanding of concepts, while reinforcing
new skills. Students may conduct additional
investigations, develop products, share
information and ideas, or apply their
knowledge and skills to other disciplines. This
stage in the learning cycle presents
opportunities for the teacher to integrate
science with other content areas (Duran and
Duran, 2004).
COURSE LEARNING PACKETS TEMPLATE Document Code FM-STL-014
Saint Louis University Revision No. 01
School of Teacher Education and Liberal Arts Effectivity August 16, 2021
Page 20 of 52

Evaluate – assess learning. Students


reflect on their knowledge and learning
process, assessment.

According to Bybee (2009), the


evaluation phase encourages students to
assess their understanding and abilities and
provides opportunities for teachers to
evaluate student progress toward achieving
the educational objectives. Formative and
Summative Assessment are appropriate in this
phase.

MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION : PHILIPPINE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AT


A GLANCE

Overview:
Under a so-called “trifocalization” approach of education in the Philippines, the
Department of Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and
the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) comprise the
government's education bureaucracy. Trifocalized Education and Training refers to the
three levels of Philippine education system: basic education, technical-vocational
education and training, and higher education. The trifocal education system refocused
the previously known Department of Education Culture and Sports (DECS) mandate to
basic education which covers elementary, secondary and nonformal education,
including culture and sports, after which, the education department had subsequently
been renamed into Department of Education (DepEd). TESDA now administers the post-
secondary, middle-level manpower training and development while CHED is responsible
for higher education.

Prior to 1994, the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS) had the sole
responsibility for policy formulation, planning, budgeting, program implementation and
coordination in all levels of formal and nonformal education in the Philippines. It also
supervised all education institutions in both the public and the private sectors. During the
Aquino administration, Congress created an Education Committee (EDCOM) which
recommended the “trifocalization” of the organizational structure in the education
sector. Under this policy which took effect in 1994/1995, oversight for the education sector
is now provided by three distinct bodies: the DECS for basic education; the Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for technical and vocational
education and training; and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) for higher
education. (Read more @ http://dirp3.pids.gov.ph/ris/pdf/pidspn0020.PDF)

MODULE 2: THE TEACHER AND THE COMMUNITY

Overview:
This module presents the vital role of the Teacher in the education process and in
the maintenance and development of society. In one perspective, teachers are
arguably the most important members of our society. They give children purpose, set
them up for success as citizens of our world, and inspire in them a drive to do well and
succeed in life. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow, and teachers are that
critical point that makes a child ready for their future.

In today’s world, demands on the learner have increased substantially. In the


traditional classroom, we view the teacher, standing in front of the classroom while
students sit and listen. Where once it may have been sufficient to learn rote experiences
within given working environments, now the real world demands that individuals use
higher-order reasoning skills to solve complex problems. Learners must now be viewed as
proactive participants in learning, actively seeking ways to analyze, question, interpret,
and understand the ever-changing environment. Thus, we shall also look into the context
of a redefined role of the teacher in answer to the demands of the present changing
world.

Lastly, we will examine why the teacher is the heart of the education process. They
are the frontline workers in schools, colleges and universities. So why are teachers
important? Teachers truly are the backbone of society. They are role models to children,
offer guidance and dedication and give young people the power of education.
Because of teachers, countries are able to further develop socially and economically.
Next time you or your community achieve something great, take a moment to think of
and be grateful for the teachers who made it possible.

Learning Objectives

Having successfully completed this module


you will be able to:

 examine the essential roles of the teacher/


school in the preparation of the learners to be
responsive to the demands of the present world;
 discuss the paradigm shift of a learner-
centered environment.

MODULE 3: THE SCHOOL AND SOCIETY

Overview:
Schools play an important role in the development of individuals and societies.
Schools are vital sources of knowledge and innovations, they are contributors to
economic development, they are agents of social and cultural development, and they
are warehouses of information. Schools also develop the manpower needs of the society,
developing the necessary skills, values, and knowledge needed in everyday life
particularly in the industry. Furthermore, schools are national and regional symbols serving
as repository of the people’s history and culture. In a nutshell, a school is a dynamic social
organization that develops every learner for various social roles. It is influenced by a
system anchored on a philosophy, mission, and vision (Pawilen G., et al, 2019).

In the same vein, schools have always been seen as a purpose-driven institution.
It exists for a reason, and it is fundamentally optimistic to pursue progress and
development. With such optimism, schools embrace numerous and varied roles in the
society. This is evident in all countries, which believe in the four accepted functions of
schools (Tamayao, 2013). These universal functions of schools will be discussed in this
module.

Learning Objectives

Having successfully completed this module


you will be able to:

 examine the four broad functions of


schools as a purpose-driven institution;

MODULE 4: PRINCIPLES AND THEORIES OF SCHOOL CULTURE

Overview:
Every society has a culture, no matter how simple the culture may be, and every
human being is cultured, in the sense of participating in some culture or other. Every
organization too, manifest their own set of organizational culture as these are driven by
the organization’s vision, mission and goals. The school is such one kind of an
organization.

This part of the module highlights the role of the school as a cultural institution.
Every school is unique in their own way and their uniqueness commonly originates on how
they impose different cultures inside and outside their school premises. Culture is the
distinctive identity of a school from the other schools. But some school cultures are
common across schools and some are unique and embedded in a particular school’s
history and location (Pawilen G., et al, 2019).

School culture plays a vital role in the success of every academic institution. The
students, staff, teachers, school administrators, and other stakeholders should unite in
promoting positive school culture. If one from the stakeholders will not cooperate, the
entire system will be affected.

Learning Objectives

Having successfully completed this module


you will be able to:

 define culture and school culture;


 distinguish the different elements of
school culture;
 identify and explain the levels of school
culture.

MODULE 5: ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Overview:
The Institute for Educational Leadership (2001) provided a broad and progressive
definition on teacher leadership. It suggested that teacher leadership is not necessarily
about power, but about teachers extending their presence beyond the classroom by
seeking additional challenges and growth opportunities. Teachers have long been
accustomed to working in isolation within the boundaries of their own classrooms. Going
beyond the classroom by providing input at meetings, sharing best practices, working
with the community, working with university faculty, and mentoring teacher candidates
are examples of additional challenges that can foster the development of leadership.

This chapter in the module focuses on the role of the teacher as a leader in
educational reforms. In the context of the recent reforms in the Philippine educational
system, it brings to light the importance of the role of teachers in ensuring that initiatives
to improve the teaching-learning process are implemented efficiently and effectively.

In order for these reforms to take place, it is necessary to have teachers who will
support these initiatives. Thus, the need for teacher leaders. Teachers play a vital role in
ensuring the success of the implementation of the educational reforms in the country for
the following reasons. First, teachers are in close coordination with the students. They
regularly interact with the students and in the performance of their functions as teachers,
they know firsthand how the reforms impact their students. Two, since teachers are the
ones who implement the reforms in the classroom, they are aware of how these new
initiatives directly influence or affect the way they teach. Last, teachers are also in direct
communication with various stakeholders. They are in close contact with colleagues,
parents and the community. As such, the relationship with these significant groups allows
them to see how the new initiatives in education affect the various stakeholders (Pawilen,
G. et al, 2019).
