-suggests adherence to a code of ethics that governs the behavior of

someone in a professional capacity.
Two elements of a profession: Competence and a Code of

Ethics
The Other elements of a profession are:
Initial Professional Education
Professionals generally begin their professional lives by

successfully finishing a university program in their selected
fields—such as teacher education, engineering, nursing, or
accountancy.
Accreditation
University programs are approved by a regulatory body like the

Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the Philippines to
ensure that graduates from these recognized programs start
their professional lives with competence.
Licensing
Licensing is mandatory, not voluntary, and is administered by a

government authority. In the Philippines, the government
authority is the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).
Professional Development
Professional education must be continuously advanced to

maintain and improve professional practice. This continual
dedication is demonstrated in the Philippines by the Continuing
Professional Development program required by RA 10912 (CPD
Act of 2016).
Professional Societies
Professionals see themselves as part of a community of like-minded
individuals who put their professional standards above their
individual self-interest or their employer’s self-interest. These
professional societies are dedicated to the public interest and
commitment to moral and ethical values. Professional societies define
certification criteria, manage certification programs, establish
accreditation standards, and define a code of ethics and disciplinary
action for violations of that code.
Code of Ethics
Each profession has a code of ethics to ensure that its practitioners
behave responsibly. The code states what professionals should do.
Professionals can be ejected from their professional societies or lose
their licenses to practice for violating the code of ethics.
Teaching is a profession. It requires:
1. long years of initial professional education

2. the attainment of a college/ university degree recognized by a
regulatory body, CHED
3. a licensure examinaon called Licensure Examination for
Teachers (LET)
4. continuing Professional Development
5. adherence to the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers

b. The historical development of teaching as a
profession in the philippines
PRESIDENTIAL DECREE 1006

Professionalized teaching in the Philippines
Issued by Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr.
"in recognition of the vital role of teachers in nation-
building and as an incentive to raise the morale of
teachers, it is imperative that they be considered as
professionals and teaching be recognized as a profession."
(P.D.1006)
RA 7836
Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994
In 1994, the Congressional Commission found out that
Philippine education was declining and the soul
reason for this were the teachers.
"promote quality education by proper supervision and
regulation of the licensure examination and
professionalization of the practice of the teaching
profession."
Licensure Examination was made mandatory

Education during spanish era

During the spanish period and by virtue of
educational decree of 1863 free public school system
was established
There was one school for girls and for boys in every
municipality
At the end of spanish era rule, schools during the

spanish era were closed for a time by Aguinaldos
government
american regime
American soldiers served as the first teachers
The philippine commission enacted into law Act 74 wich created the
department of public instruction
The philippine commission authorized the secretary of public instruction
to bring to the philippines 600 teachers from USA
The american gave bright young students opportunity to take up higher
education in american colleges and universities
Act 74 of 1901
Provided establishment of phillippine normal school (PNS)
September 1901 philippine normal school formally opened an institution for
the training of teachers
PNS offered a two-year general secondaryeducation program
In 1928 it became a junior college offering a two-year program to graduates
of secondary schools
In 1949 the philippine normal school renamed philippine normal college
Teacher preparation became four years only in 1949 and thereafter
teaching as a
vocation
lesson 2: teaching as a vocation
VOCATION comes from latin word "VOCARE"
which means “TO CALL”
"If there is a CALL

there must be a CALLER
and
someone who is CALLED"
Most often when people use the word "Vocation" they refer to a
RELIGIOUS VOCATION, but it can also refer to
a call to do something like,
TO TEACH, TO HEAL THE SICK, etc.
Whatever is our calling or station in life the call is always TO SERVE.

From the eyes of those who believe, it was GOD who called you to teach
Among so many, you were called to teach. Just as God called
ABRAHAM to become the father of a great nation, the
nations of God`s chosen people.
The fact that you are now in College of Teacher Education

signifies that you said YES to the CALL TO TEACH.
teaching as a
mission
lesson 2: teaching as a mission
Teaching is also a mission. The word mission comes from

the Latin word "misio" which means "to send." The
Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines mission as
"task assigned." You are sent to accomplish an assigned
task.
lesson 2: teaching as a life
meaning
As per Dr. Josette T. Biyo. The first Asian teacher to win the Intel
Excellence in teaching in an international competition
"Teaching may not be a lucrative position. It cannot guarantee financial

security. It even means investing your personal time, energy, and
resources. Sometimes it means disappointments, heartaches, and pains.
But touching the hearts of people and opening the minds of children can
give you joy and contentment which money could not buy. These are the
moments I teach for. These are the moments I live for."
lesson 2: The "Pwede na" Mentality:
Enemy of Excellent Mission Preparation
and Accomplishment
The "striving for excellence" as another element of a profession brings us
to our "pwede na" mentality, which is inimical to excellence. This
mentality is expressed in other ways like "talagang ganyan 'yan", "wala na
tayong magawa", - all indicators of defeatism and resignation to
mediocrity.

Generalization
In our exploration of "Teaching as a Profession," we've uncovered the essential
attributes that define a recognized profession. As we analyzed elements such as
initial professional education, accreditation, licensing, professional development, and
adherence to a code of ethics, we recognized that teaching aligns closely with the
standards upheld by other esteemed professions. We've also delved into the
historical development of teaching as a profession in the Philippines, tracing its
evolution and the regulatory measures that have shaped its current status.
Additionally, we've delved into the concept of teaching as both a vocation and a
mission. This duality highlights the multifaceted role of educators in not only
imparting knowledge but also nurturing the holistic growth and development of
learners. Our discussions have shed light on how teaching combines knowledge,
moral values, and a deep commitment to influencing the future through education.
