Lesson2: Formulating Your Philosophy of Education

Your philosophy of education is your “window” to the world and “ compass in life.”
It includes your concept about:
1. The human person, the learner in particular and the educated person
2. What is true and good and therefore must be taught
3. How a learner must be taught in order to come close to the truth

Example:
My Philosophy of Education as an Elementary Teacher
I believe that every child:
 has a natural interest in learning and is capable of learning
 can be influenced but not totally by his/her environment
 is unique and so comparing a child to other children has no basis
I believe that there are unchanging values in changing times and these must be passed on to
every child by my modeling, value inculcation and value integration in my lessons.

Lesson Output (in a short bond paper)


Formulate your personal philosophy of education. You can be guided with the following
questions:
How will you treat your student?
What will you teach?
How will you teach?

represented by the parent respondents, the school represented by the principals, assistant
principals and superintendents and the rest of society represented by the respondents from the
NGOs, business and industry sectors.

By their responses, the respondents gave you an idea on how social institutions like the family
and the school regard the teacher.

Lesson 4: The Foundational Principles of Morality and You

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” by Henry Brooks
Adams

Morality – refers to the quality of human acts by which we call them right or wrong, good or
evil. Your human action is right when it conforms with the norm, rule, or law of morality.
Otherwise it is said to be wrong.

Foundational Moral Principle – “Do good and avoid evil.”

Four Ways of Describing Good Moral Character


1. Being fully human – you have realized substantially your potential as a human person
2. Being a loving person – you are caring in an unselfish and mature manner with yourself,
other people and God
3. Being a virtuous person – you have acquired good habits and attitudes and you practice them
consistently in your daily life
4. Being a morally mature person – you have reached a level of development emotionally,
socially, mentally, spiritually appropriate to your developmental stage

You are on the road to moral development when you strive to develop your potential, your love
and care for yourself and make this love flow to others, you lead to virtuous life, and as you
advance in age you also advance in your emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual life.

(Lesson Output (in a ¼ sheet of paper)


By means of an acrostic (on the word MORALITY) give your own definition of Morality.)

2. “Di baleng mahirap, basta’t may dangal.”
3. What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?
4. Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.
