b. Strategic thinking skills in teaching and learning are any abilities that enable
instructional leaders to use critical thinking to solve complex problems related to
teaching delivery and plan for effective future teaching and learning outcomes.
Strategic thinking, in its most basic form, is the ability to plan. It is the ability to plan
strategies and generate ideas to deal with changing environments while also
considering the various challenges that lie ahead. Strategic thinking is a planning
process that combines innovation, strategic planning, and operational planning to
create more successful business strategies.
According to John Dewey, education and learning are social and interactive
processes, and thus the school is a social institution through which social reform can
and should occur. As a result, Dewey emphasized education not only as a process
for acquiring content knowledge, but also as a process for learning how to live. Yes,
it is true that school is the second home of every student but Parents are the first
teachers before school. Home is the environment in which an individual grows
physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Parents, in particular, play an
important role in the development of moral values in children. John Dewey argued
that curriculum should be relevant to the lives of students. He believed that learning
by doing and developing practical life skills were critical components of children's
education. Some critics predicted that students would fail to acquire basic academic
skills and knowledge under Dewey's system.
5. What philosophies have greatly affected our Philippine Education System?
Support your answer.
The philosophy that the Philippines have greatly affected by the educational
system of the Philippine is the progressivism. Progressivists believe that
education should focus on the whole child, rather than on the content or the
teacher. This educational philosophy stresses that students should test ideas by
active experimentation. Learning is rooted in the questions of learners that arise
through experiencing the world. It is active, not passive. The learner is a problem
solver and thinker who makes meaning through his or her individual experience
in the physical and cultural context. Effective teachers provide experiences so
that students can learn by doing. Curriculum content is derived from student
interests and questions. The scientific method is used by progressivist educators
so that students can study matter and events systematically and first hand. The
emphasis is on process-how one comes to know. The progressivism, the teacher
is the facilitator in the class he only giving instruction to the students. And the
students are liberal in the way that they are free to participate in the class and
also collaborative learning a joint intellectual effort of the students or students
and teachers together.
