INTRODUCTION
• Education is the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes. It is not only a
preparation for life but it is life itself. This is so because throughout man’s life, he
learns many things, may it be formally or informally. The components in the educative
process are the learner, the teaching-learning process, the teacher and the policy
maker. The most important of these is the learner who occupies the center stage in
the educational system. Foundation is a base upon which any structure or system
stands. A strong foundation makes the structure or a system firmly established and
strong enough to be able to serve its purpose. This course Foundations of Education
covers the six foundations of education: psychological, sociological, anthropological,
historical, philosophical and legal bases. This tackles the Foundations 1 and 11 offered
in the undergraduate courses separately. Psychology is the study of human behavior,
of how person acts and reacts under different situations, consciously or unconsciously,
mentally, physiologically, physically, overtly, or covertly.
INTRODUCTION
• It is the study of man’s reactions to life’s simulation.
• Sociology deals with study of human beings living in groups, of how people act and interact under different
social situations, and how they relate themselves to one social situation, and how they relate themselves
to one another. Terms that indicate group actions are used here such as cooperate, team work, sociable,
conflict, etc.
• Anthropology is the study of civilizations and cultures of people: their origins, customs, traditions, beliefs,
mores, folkways, and practices. This also includes languages, forms of writings, tools and weapons,
buildings and other physical structures.
• History is the study of past events that makes us understand the present situation, and to enable us to
predict future events.
• Philosophy is a systematized truth or principles that serve as guide for conduct or thinking. Philosophy is a
fixed idea or principle arrived at after a very rigid scrutiny or study of the state of things, situations, or
events.
• Legality refers to the conformity to the laws passed by the State to establish and guide the conduct of an
educational system. The Constitution is the most important legal document that establishes and guides in
understanding the educational system of any country. It contains the philosophy of education of any
country.

From among the theories of development, what theory do you think
best fit the Filipino learners of today?
Module 1-The Psychological Foundations of
Education
• It is said that education depends on psychology because the kind and
amount of education that the learner acquires is conditioned by the
psychological traits such as general mental abilities, aptitudes,
temperaments, interests, effort making capacity, physical condition
etc, hence the principles of education are basically based on
psychology
The Learner
• Teaching and learning are psychological processes. The teacher is in a
better position to select and use methods and techniques that will
promote effective learning. There are three components of the
educative process which have been the concern of both psychologists
and teachers. These are the learner, the learning process, and the
learning situation. This module discusses the principles of growth and
development, the learners stages of development and the different
theories of development.
Understanding Growth and Development
• The terms growth and development have been continually used in most readings in
psychology. many times, these terms are used interchangeably; although in certain
respects both terms, though parallel, imply different definitions.
• Growth essentially refers to quantitative changes in an individual as he progresses in
chronological age. It may refer to increases in size, height, or weight.
• Development, on the other hand, refers to the progressive series of change of an orderly
and coherent type leading to the individual’s maturation. This definition implies that for
development to be progressive, there is a direction in the manner in which changes occur.
Development is also coherent, essentially because the sequence of changes that occur are
related to each other and do not occur haphazardly or abruptly.
• From these definitions, one can see that although both growth and development imply
contrasting types of changes in the individual, both are, nonetheless, related and
complementary processes.
The Importance of Studying the Stages of
Development
• In many instances, people meet children of varying ages and wonder why each of them displays
different characteristics. The focus of the study of development precisely points to these
observations.
• A teacher, who expects to meet the needs of his /her learners, must be aware of the various
developmental differences among his/her learners.
• The knowledge of the pattern of human development will certainly help a teacher to know what
to expect of children, and at what approximate ages certain patterns of behavior may appear or
are expected to appear.
• Planning for instruction should also be based on certain developmental principles, which to a
great extent, determine what types of learning and amount of learning are appropriate for
different age groups.
• In other cases, knowledge of developmental patterns will allow teachers to identify learners with
developmental lags or delays 12 so as to provide guidance and intervention as early as possible.
• Thus, teachers must learn to recognize the significance of this knowledge to their teaching
success, as well as to the learning process.
Factors in Growth and Development
• Two general factors influence human development; namely, 1) maturation or natural growth resulting from heredity;
and 2) environmental influences in and through which the growing takes place. These two factors are so thoroughly
interrelated that it is impossible to isolate their specific influences.
• Every individual is born with definite potentialities of development passed on to him by his parents through heredity.
These heredity potentialities for many kinds of behavior patterns continue to develop for months or even years. This
process by which heredity exerts its influence long after birth is called maturation. Studies have shown that a number of
physiological structures are essentially mature and ready to function at birth or even earlier. Others, however, such as
certain nervous, muscular and glandular structures are not ready to function until after months or even years later.
Certain types of behavior which are made possible by these structures cannot be developed unless these structures are
sufficiently mature. No amount of instruction and practice, for example can make a six-month old child walk or talk
because the nueral and muscular structures involved are not yet ready for such activities.
• Although an individual inherits trait potentialities from his parents, the direction that these characteristics follow during
the process of growth and development 13 depends upon the individual’s environment. Behavior traits develop only
after interaction with environmental influences.
• Modes of behavior at a given time in the life of an individual are not determined by heredity or environment working
alone. Instead, they are the product of the interaction between his inherited tendencies and potentialities and those
environmental influences by which he is stimulated. For example, while the ability to vocalize and the capacity for
learning to make intelligible sounds are inherited, the language a child speaks is the result of the language he is exposed
to during the growth process.
• A child is not born with skills, emotional controls, or attitudes. It is only when his inherited adaptable nervous muscular
systems are given the proper stimulation at a time when they are maturationally ready that such traits are learned and
developed. It is at this point where education plays an important role in the development of an individual.
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT
• From numerous studies conducted on growth and development,
developmental psychologists have established some basic principles of
developmental change that occur over the life cycle. These basic principles
are outlined below and explained in succeeding paragraphs.
• 1. Development follows an orderly sequence which is predictable.
• 2. The rate of development is unique to each individual.
• 3. Development involves change.
• 4. Early development is more critical than later development.
• 5. Development is the product of maturation and learning.
• 6. There are individual differences in development.
• 7. There are social expectations for every developmental period which are often
referred to as developmental tasks.
1. Development follows an orderly sequence
which is predictable.
• The first basic principle relates to the orderly sequence of developmental change. The developmental process,
guided by the interaction of maturation and learning, follows a predictable pattern. It is a continuous process
that proceeds according to a definite direction and uniform pattern throughout the life cycle.
• Although physical growth attain its maturational level and stops as a process, developmental change continues
as long as life continues. As individual continuously adapts to changing physical and mental abilities age
increases. Such developmental changes which occur throughout the life cycle follow a sequential pattern
which is predictable. The stages which an individual goes through from birth to death are always of the same
order from infancy to old age. They have never occurred in reverse.
• This predictable sequence is also observable in the phylogenetic skills – those skills which are universally of the
human race. Thus, regardless of the culture, all babies proceed from supported sitting to unsupported sitting
to creeping, crawling and, finally walking. Similarly, babies produce unrecognizable sounds to babbling before
producing understandable speech.
• The two predictable directions during the pre-natal and infancy periods illustrate the uniform pattern of
physical development. These directions are cephalocaudal and proximodistal. In the cephalocaudal trend,
development proceeds in the head-to-foot direction in the body. Changes in motor performance and function,
for instance, take place first in the head region and 15 last in the foot region. In the proximodistal trend, parts
of the body nearest to the center are the earliest to develop. Infants, for instance, are able to use to their arms
before they acquire hand skills while their finger skills follow the development of hand skills.
2. The rate of development is unique to each
individual
• The second basic principle relates to the rate of development changes as unique to each
individual. Although developmental changes follow a predictable pattern, the rate at which
changes may occur may be different from one individual to another. Such differences in rate
of change are determined by the interaction of heredity and environmental factors. As an
example, some children will change faster than others in almost all areas of development
while some will be much slower than others. Or, some children will have faster rates of
development in the physical and social aspects while at the same time be slower in the
mental aspect of development.
• This second principle stresses the fact that it is futile to try accelerate an individual’s
development if he is not ready to develop or experience a change. This means; for instance,
that any new ability will emerge only if the essential physical or mental foundations are
already existing. Training can produce results only if the individual has reached the level of
maturation necessary for an activity. Such readiness for an activity is determined by his rate
of development.
3. Development involves change
• This principle implies that the human being is always evolving based
on theories by developmental psychologists. As stated earlier,
children undergo physical, emotional, and mental changes.
4. Early development is more critical than
later development.
• The studies of Freud, Erikson, and Piaget on early patterns of behavior
led to the conclusion that early development is very important. It is at
this stage of development where individuals develop the foundations
for social relatedness, emotional well-being, and personal
adjustments. It has been widely accepted that the first two years of
life, often called the “formative years”, greatly dictate the course of an
individual’s growth and development. This principle is also the
rationale behind early childhood education.
5. Development is the product of maturation
and learning.
• As discussed previously, development is an outcome of both
maturation and environmental influences. Although people are
genetically endowed with certain characteristics, learning allows
individuals to develop these innate potentialities. Through exercise
and effort, people can act on their environments and develop their
competencies. In most cases, individuals learn through imitation and
observation of other role models.
6. There are individual differences in
development.
• Although children follow a predictable pattern of development, a
step-by-step progression, all children do not reach these
developmental stages all at the same time or all at the same age.
These differences in development are often ascribed to both genetic
and environmental influences, where each individual is either born or
exposed to varying factors.
• For instance, physical development depends largely on inherited
characteristics, such that children will grow in height differently form
each other. Similarly, intellectual growth is contingent upon one’s
educational exposure or family environment.
7. There are social expectations for every developmental
period which are often referred to as developmental tasks.
Max Wertheimer was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia in April 15, 1880, the son
of a school teacher. As a student, young Wertheimer’s interests were far
ranging. He studied law for a while, then switched to philosophy, and finally
begun to study psychology. After attending a number of schools and
universities, Wertheimer received his Ph.D. degree at Wurtzburg in 1904. For
the next six years he continued his work in psychology at Prague, Vienna, and
Berlin
• GESTALTISTS
• Wolgang Kohler
Kohler was a German- American psychologist born in Revel, Estonia in
January 21, 1887. He grew up in Germany and was educated at the
universities of Tubingen, Bonn, and Berlin. After he obtained his Ph.D.
from the University of Berlin in 1909 he went to the University of
Frankfurt and associated himself with Max Wertheimer and Kurt Koffka
in the investigation of apparent movement that led to the founding of
the Gestalt school of psychology.
• GESTALTISTS
• Kurt Koffka
Kurt Koffka was a German psychologist who was born in Berlin in March 18,
1886. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Berlin in 1908, and then went
to the University of Frankfurt where he met the other Gestalt founders in 1910.
Along with Kohler he served as a subject in experiments on perception
conducted by Wertheimer. Their findings led Koffka, Wertheimer, and Kohler to
stress the holistic approach the psychological phenomena cannot be
interpreted 92 as combinations of elements: parts derive their meaning from
the whole, and people perceive complex entities rather than their elements
The Gestalt theory
• The Gestalt theory of learning stresses wholes, that is, the whole field or the situation in its entire setting and the
whole person of the learner. Learning is a process involving both the whole being of the child and the total
situation. It is usually defined as the organization and reorganization of behavior which arises from the dynamic
interaction of a maturing organism and its environment, involving the activities of differentiation and integration,
that is, the recognition of significant relationships and similarities and likewise of significant differences between
and among experiences and the understanding of the situation or problem in all its relations. Learning involves a
process of forming proper gestalts.
• The original German term gestalt is very difficult to translate satisfactorily. The terms whole, pattern, form are used
ordinarily to connote the idea implied in gestalt. The term signifies that actually there is no particular stimulus or
object to which a response may be directly attached, but that each situation or object has its own setting and
thereby possesses certain relationships within a meaningful whole. The individual reacts to this meaningful whole,
for a stimulus when removed from its setting may become something 93 quite different from what it was in that
setting.
• Consequently, the individuals do not react merely to the stimulus itself but rather to the stimulus in relation to its
background and setting. Thus the situation or object in relation to its setting, “a figure embodied in a ground,” is
considered to be the gestalt or pattern of configuration.
• The Gestaltists were mainly concerned with perception that’s why they developed different perceptual principles.
All these principles were consistent with one overriding principle, that is the Law of Pragnantz. This law said that we
tend to see things in their most simple, harmonious, and concise form. We respond to the world so as to make it
maximally meaningful under existing conditions. We simplify, organize, then harmonize our experiences.
• This was the Gestaltists guiding principle for studying perception, learning, and memory.

How Learning Takes Place
Bruner’s Theory of Instruction: “Instrumental
Conceptualism”
Jerome Seymour Bruner
• An American psychologist and educator who has done pioneering
work in the filed of cognition. Bruner was born into a German-Jewish
family in New York on October 1, 1915; his father, a watch
manufacturer, died when Bruner was only 12. His family a successful
upper-middle class fully expected young Bruner to become a lawyer.
Bruner, however, had other ideas. He graduated from Duke University
in 1937 and immediately entered Duke’s graduate school in
psychology. The following year he transferred to Harvard, where he
received his Ph.D. degree in psychology in 1941.
Bruner’s First Principle: MOTIVATION
• Bruner’s first principle specifies the conditions that predispose an
individual toward learning. What are the critical variables, especially
during the preschool years, that help motivate and enable the child to
learn? Implicit in Bruner’s principles is the belief that almost all children
have a built-in “will to learn”. However, Bruner has not discarded the
notion of reinforcement. He believes that reinforcement, or external
reward, may be important for initiating certain actions or for making
sure they are repeated. He insists, however, that it is only through
intrinsic motivation that the will to learn is sustained. Bruner is far
more concerned with intrinsic motivation than with what he believes to
be the more transitory effects of external motivation.
Bruner’s Second Principle: STRUCTURE
• Bruner’s second principle states that any given subject area, any body
of knowledge, can be organized in some optimal fashion so that it can
be transmitted to and understood by almost any student. If
appropriately structured, “any idea or problem or body of knowledge
can be presented in a form simple enough so that any particular
learner can understand it in a recognizable form”. This is not to say
that all of the nuances of Einstein’s theory of relativity can be fully
mastered by a six-year-old child. It does mean, however, that if
properly structured, Einstein’s general position could be understood
by the child, and that under questioning the child could convey to a
physicist a recognizable account of the theory.
Bruner’s Third Principle: SEQUENCE
• The extent to which student finds it difficult to master a given subject
depends largely on the sequence in which the material is presented.
Teaching involves leading the learner through a certain sequence of
the various aspects of the subject. Since Bruner believes that
intellectual development is innately sequential, moving from enactive,
through iconic, to symbolic representation, he feels that it is highly
probable that this is also the best sequence for any subject to take.
Thus the teacher should begin teaching any new subject with
wordless messages, speaking mainly to the learner’s muscular
responses. Then the student should be encouraged to explore the use
of diagrams and various pictorial representations.
Bruner’s Fourth Principle:
REINFORCEMENT
• Learning requires reinforcement. In order to achieve mastery of a
problem, we must receive feedback as to how we are doing. The timing of
the reinforcement is crucial to success in learning. The results must be
learned at the very time a student is evaluating his or her own
performance. If the results are known too soon, the learner will become
confused and his or her explorations will be stifled. If it comes too late, the
learner may have gone two or three choice-points beyond the point where
it would have been helpful, and may by this time have incorporated false
information. The teacher’s role is, thus, indeed sensitive. If the learner has
gone on to incorporate false information, this must now be unlearned in
order for the learner to get back on the right track.
KEY CONCEPTS:
• Jerome Seymour Bruner – father of cognitive psychology and proponent of structure first and facts second in education. Cognition – comes from
the Latin word cognoscere which means to know. Cognitive Theories – place emphasis upon the concept that learning is a process of discovering
and understanding relationships, and organizing and finding significance in the sensory experiences aroused by the external situation. Acquisition –
is the process of obtaining new information that can either replace or refine something previously known. Transformation – is the manipulation of
information to fit new situations. 115 Evaluation – is checking whether or not the learned material has been manipulated appropriately. Learning
Theory – describes what happens after the fact. Theory of Instruction – prescribes in advance how a given subject can be best taught. Bruner’s First
Principle – specifies the conditions that predispose an individual toward learning. Motivation – the practical art of applying incentives and arousing
interests for the purpose of causing a pupil or student to perform in a desired way. Extrinsic Motivation – the application of incentives that are
external to a given activity to make work pleasant and to facilitate performance e.g. praises rewards, etc., Intrinsic Motivation – determination of
behavior that is resident within an activity and that sustains it as with autonomous acts and interests (curiosity, drive to achieve competence, and
reciprocity). curiosity – the desire to know or learn about something. drive to achieve competence – an energy or initiative to process certain skill,
knowledge, experience, etc., which is needed for the individual to excel in his chosen field. reciprocity – a need to work with others cooperatively.
Bruner’s Second Principle – here it was told that any given subject area if structured appropriately could be understood by almost any student.
Structure – the manner which the elements or parts of a certain subject or discipline is organized base on the degree of importance and difficulty.
116 Mode of presentation – refers to the technique and method whereby information is communicated. Enactive Representation – the stage where
children define words in terms of the actions associated with them. Iconic Representation – at this level subjects become conceivable without
having to be acted out. Symbolic Representation – at this stage children can translate experience into language. Economy of Presentation – the
shorter the subject could be summarize, the fewer the facts, the greater is the economy. Power of Presentation – a powerful presentation is a
simple presentation, one that is easily understood by the learner. Bruner’s Third Principle – indicates that teaching should begin with the enactive
representation going to iconic and then symbolic. Sequence – the order of representation of the elements of a subject. Bruner’s Fourth Principle –
discussed that for the student to be able to gain mastery of the subject, reinforcement should be given at the right time. Reinforcement – the
strengthening of a response by adding an increment of habit strength.
How Learning Takes Place:
• In this theory Bruner indicates that learning is an active social process
in which students construct new ideas or concepts based on current
knowledge. The student selects information, originates hypotheses,
and makes decision in the process of integrating experiences into
their existing mental constructs. Just like Gestaltists, Bruner also
believed that the student needs to understand the whole structure or
patterns of the subject for them to be able to achieve true
understanding of the whole principle of the subject being learned or
studied.
