2.3 IDENTIFICATION

Categorizing belief statements according to school of thoughts

There are several kinds of philosophical beliefs which represent broad spectrum

of thoughts of what school should do, what curriculum should offer, how teacher

will teach and how students will learn. Our beliefs score will focus on five distinct

school of thoughts: perennialism, idealism, realism, experimentalism and

experientialism.

A. Compare the philosophical views of the new and seasoned teacher with your own

by checking the appropriate box/es.

STRENGTH OF BELIEF

Perennialism

Compare the results. Who among you strongly adhere (rating of 5) to

perennialism as a school of thought?

I shared the same thoughts with the two teachers that I have asked. Our

answers vary. But based on the responses, I can say that we no longer

believed in perennialism as a philosophy in education because this can be an

obsolete principle to live by. The only item that we have given 5 points is the

statement which says education is a preparation for life.

STRENGTH OF BELIEF

Idealism

Compare the results. Who among you have strong tendencies to be believers of

idealism?

I and the new teacher are believers of idealism. We believed in the

authority that the teachers have in schools. We believed that teachers have a

vital role in learning and that great responsibility is being placed upon them.

We also believed that education must focus on the subject matter however,

we do not adhere to an obsolete method of instruction.

Among the three of us, the new teacher is the realist. She believed that

education must be redirected to imparting knowledge that will be helpful in

carrying out real-life tasks and learning had taken place if they are manifested

in actions.

STRENGTH OF BELIEF

Experimentalism

Compare the results. Are you all experimentalist teachers? Who among you

have strong tendencies to be experimentalist?

The seasoned teacher is the experimentalist among us. Because of years

of teaching, she probably thought that education is a matter of discovering

new things that would help make the teaching-learning process more

effective. And she probably adopted the habit of problem solving and inquiry

to come up with appropriate and effective strategies in teaching.

STRENGTH OF BELIEF

Experientialism

Compare the results. Who among you are strong believers of experientialism as

a school of thought?

The seasoned teacher and I are both believers of experientialism. We

believed in teacher-student collaboration in deciding which learning contents

are appropriate. We also believed in learning by doing and practical

application of knowledge.


Self-reflection

B. What philosophical agreements develop among the new, seasoned teachers and

you?

The most noticeable consensus in my philosophies and the two teachers is that we

all have well-founded principles in life particularly towards the teaching

profession. We might be different with the philosophy like we are not adherents

of the same educational philosophy but we are similar in how we view teachers as

an important role in the pursuit of lifelong learning.

C. What significant differences appear among the three groups? (new teacher,

seasoned teacher and you)

We have different philosophy of education. I and the new teacher are most likely

to become adherents of idealism and realism philosophy but the seasoned teacher

is already a believer of experimentalism and experientialism. These can be seen

on the responses that we have on the belief statement survey. I must say, I still

have a lot to learn in terms of these principles.

2.4 INTERNALIZATION

Contextualizing internalized knowledge

With the present Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum (K-12), what do you

think will be the most appropriate philosophical beliefs about:

A. Education

The perennialist belief that education is a preparation for life can be used by

curriculum planners to give emphasis for lifelong learning and attainment of

long-term goals in education. The learners must acquire lifelong skills which they

can apply in the future and in the changing society that we have right now. This is

also a principle under a progressivist philosophy.


B. School

Schools are the place where learners spend 8 hours a day. Whatever they are

learning at school is very crucial on what they will manifest even outside the

school vicinity. They are adaptable and they easily acquire the behavior of the

people whom they spent most of their time with. Schools should be progressive

and must not be contented with what they are currently producing. Along with

the changing technology and trends, our schools must also upgrade in terms of

many aspects.

C. Curriculum

Curriculum that is existing right now is very much aligned with what our world

really needs. There are issues about whether our country is ready for the K-12

program but I personally believed that this enhanced curriculum is really what we

need to implement in order to be competent in varying fields. The curriculum

must have this vision that the graduates should be productive in different

profession or industries in the future.

D. Teachers

Teachers are highly important in learning. As future teacher, I can use multiple

educational philosophies. For instance, I can be a firm teacher like a perennialist

and essentialist teacher. At the same time I can choose to become a progressivist

and pragmatist teacher who is always looking for new ways to bring about

positive changes and growth in teaching-learning process. I can also make use of

the principles of experientialists which adhere to the idea that learners learn best

when they are doing authentic tasks. Every philosophy can contribute to our

philosophy in teaching that will soon become our philosophies in life as educators.

E. Students

Students must believe in the progressivist aspect of education that we are

always after the new innovations and creations in technology and all other aspects

of learning. Learners should keep in mind that they are responsible for their own

learning and in that way, they can do every possible effort to learn on their own

pace, in their own ways. Teachers will just be a guide and facilitator of learning but

their learning lies on their hands at the end of the day.

F. Methods of Teaching

Learners are diverse and technology is continuously improving and because of

that, we should not dwell on traditional methods of teaching. All the ideas and


resources are just around us and we must decide to maximize the use of those

given that they are still parallel to the learning needs and levels of the students.

2.5 DISSEMINATION

Intrinsic transfer: Formulating belief statements of a K-12 teacher

See the big picture in your career path. Think seriously about the K to 12

program as your source of Belief Statements of a K to 12 teacher. Develop your

belief statements of of a K-12 teacher.

Use the following questions to guide you in stating your belief:

A. What are schools for?

B. What subjects are of value?

C. What is an ideal K-12 teacher?

D. What should be the primary goal of a K-12 teacher?

E. What is the best way for students to learn?

➢ Schools are the second home of learners which should provide a warm

environment for learning.

➢ Education is a lifetime pursuit which should be the primary concern of the

curriculum.

➢ Teachers are molders of learner’s personalities.

➢ Teachers must live with the principle that ‘We cannot give what we don’t

have.’

➢ K-12 teachers must be technologically-competent.

➢ Learners learn best when teachers use analogy and representations about the

lessons which are more familiar with the learners.
