    The Teaching Profession

    Assignment:

    1. Answer the question. Is professionalization synonymous to


    professionalism? (Think of this: When teaching was professionalized with
    the passing of RA 7836, did this mean all teachers automatically
    demonstrated professionalism?)

    Professionalism is the skill and expertise anticipated by someone, and refers to a


    professional's conduct, whereas professionalization is the process of growing to
    become a professional. Something should be given a higher level of ability and
    competence, generally through education and qualifications.

    2. Present the historical development of teacher preparation and professionalization


    in the Philippines from pre-Hispanic Philippines to 1996 by way of a timeline.
