MEDIEVAL CONCEPT OF EDUCATION HOW THEY BECOME

INFLUENE IN EDUCATION

The medieval philosophy of education, characterized by its integration of faith and

reason, liberal arts curriculum, emphasis on critical thinking, and the tradition of
academic excellence, has significantly influenced the education system in the
Philippines, shaping its values, curriculum, and pedagogical approaches.

The medieval philosophy of education, rooted in the traditions of scholasticism and

the teachings of renowned philosophers like St. Augustine and St. Thomas
Aquinas, has had a significant influence on the education system in the Philippines.

 Firstly, the emphasis on the integration of faith and reason, a hallmark of

medieval education, is evident in the Philippines' educational institutions,
many of which are affiliated with religious organizations. Catholic schools,
in particular, follow the scholastic tradition of promoting a harmonious
relationship between faith and intellectual inquiry.
 Secondly, the medieval concept of the liberal arts, encompassing subjects
like grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy,
has parallels in the general education curriculum of Philippine schools. The
K-12 program, for example, includes a core curriculum that incorporates
these disciplines, emphasizing the development of well-rounded individuals.
 Thirdly, the medieval commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and the
cultivation of critical thinking skills has influenced the pedagogical
approaches in the Philippines. Schools aim to foster intellectual curiosity
and critical analysis, encouraging students to engage in thoughtful discourse
and debate.
 Lastly, the medieval model of universities, which served as centers of
learning and research, has inspired the establishment of higher education
institutions in the Philippines. Universities in the country continue to uphold
the tradition of academic excellence and research.
 In summary, the medieval philosophy of education has left a lasting imprint
on the Philippine education system, shaping its values, curriculum, and
approach to learning. This influence reflects the enduring impact of
historical educational traditions on contemporary pedagogy.
Medieval monasteries were places of learning and an important part of medieval
education. Monastic schools were run by monks and nuns and centred around
religion. Pupils would learn to read Latin, as well as how to write, to chant, to do
arithmetic, and to use a sundial to read the time.

Disciplines learned at schools

As it became obvious from the previous paragraph only in grammar schools boys
were learning different subjects. The most important subjects were Latin language
and grammar, rhetoric, logic and the basics of math and science. They learned
astrology and philosophy as well.

All the lessons were prepared on the basis of Roman and Germanic sources as well
as the absence of proofs made education focused on superstitions and beliefs.
There were practical lessons with hunters, trappers and others too.

Education in medieval period has made a great leap forward from simple church
schools to majestic universities opened during these years. Despite the fact that
most of the subjects were taught only mediocre universities have become powerful
scientific and research centers that have laid grounds for the further development
of science.

Medieval education was largely centred around religion and was almost
exclusively for the children of wealthy families.

A Knight’s Education

A knight was an armoured soldier, usually from a wealthy or noble background,

who rode on horseback. Learning how to be a knight was a different kind of
medieval education, but nevertheless young nobles were prepared for knighthood
from a young age and their training would typically last for around fourteen years,
until they reached the age of 21.

During the Renaissance period, there was a renewed interest in education and
learning. The Spanish colonizers brought with them the Catholic faith and
established schools and universities in the Philippines, which gave Filipinos access
to education and literacy.

The Humanists of the Renaissance created schools to teach their ideas and wrote
books all about education. Humanists sought to create a citizenry able to speak and
write with eloquence and clarity, thus capable of engaging in the civic life of their
communities and persuading others to virtuous and prudent actions.

The Renaissance influenced the curriculum of study in education by instilling the

need for a well-balanced, humanist scholars. The Renaissance continued to stress
the importance of learning to read, write, and speak in Latin.

Ancient

Methods of teaching and learning were memorization, oral repetition, copying

models, and individual instruction. It is believed that the exact copying of scripts
was the hardest and most strenuous and served as the test of excellence in learning.
The period of education was long and rigorous, and discipline was harsh.

In the ancient Philippines, children were given the rudiments of education. Such
education was both academic and vocation. The father trained his sons to be
warriors, hunters, fishermen, miners, lumbermen, and shipbuilders. The mother on
her part trained her daughters in cooking, gardening, serving, and other household
arts.

Before: Life among primitive or tribal people were very simple.

There means of livelihood were hunting and gathering wild fruits and vegetables.

Today

most children were provided solely vocational training, supervised by parents,

tribal tutors or those assigned to specific, specialized roles within their
communities (for example, the babaylan).

How many vocational schools are in the Philippines?

In 2019, there were 4,272 technical and vocational institutions (TVIs) nationwide:
3,911 or 91.5% are private institutions, while 361 or 8.5% are public, including
123 TESDA Technology Institutions.

Oriental

young generation do not forget their norms and hold it inside them. Transfer of
traditions and social ethics are made sure this way of learning.

Since it is the depiction of eastern world through literature, pictures, and cultural
studies, these things are usually created by the artists and writers who portray the
history of that time in a painting or tells through the writing thoroughly. The
importance of such historical depictions is higher because it keeps students aware
of their culture, historical events and many other important things. people, and its
history.

CONFUCIOS

education's objective should be to teach all people without discrimination towards

rank or social status. That is, he advocated for education for all. This Confucius
view seems to have influenced the present Chinese policy on free six years of
primary schools and free three years of secondary schools.

He saw public service as the natural consequence of education and sought to

revitalize Chinese social institutions, including the family, school, community,
state, and kingdom.

Sumeran

Sumerians created the first known formal education system (schools).

umerians invented or perfected many forms of technology, including the wheel,

mathematics, and cuneiform

Of all the contributions made by Sumerians to the world, writing is perhaps the
most important. The writing system they developed was the earliest known system
in the world. Writing was a way for Sumerians to keep records of their lives and
their history. Writing was also a way to share information.
They invented the first form of writing, a number system, the first wheeled
vehicles, sun-dried bricks, and irrigation for farming. All of these things were
important for the development of human civilization.

nown for their innovations in language, governance, architecture and more,

Sumerians are considered the creators of civilization as modern humans understand
it.

Early Egyptian

The purpose of education in Ancient Egypt was to create a social class of scribes
and priests which were necessary for the government to function. It is for this
reason that many schools were tied to government buildings and that many of the
teachers were priests or scribes with experience in government.

These early schools served as models for the establishment of structured

educational systems seen in modern schools and universities.May 14, 2018
