Module 1- Historical Foundations of Educations

Education is the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes that make man do better. It is not only a preparation for life but it is life itself. This is so because throughout the life man learns many things in and out of school that changes his life for the better. Education is informal if the things learned are outside the school system. It is formal if the things learned are acquired within a formally organized school system. Foundation is a base which any structure or system stands. A strong foundation makes the structure of system firmly established and strong enough to be able to serve its purpose and to survive calamitous events. The structure or system is like a house with strong foundation, which cannot be blown down by a typhoon nor wrecked by an earthquake no matter how strong these natural disasters are. Foundations of Education are those systems or sciences upon which education stands and has its roots, origin, or bases. Foundations of education are those from which education arose and came into being. They are the factors that affected education so much particularly, curriculum content. There are six foundations of education: (1) psychological, (2) sociological, (3) anthropological, (4) historical, (5) philosophical, and (6) legal foundations.

  1. Psychology. It is the study of human behavior, of how a person acts and reacts under different situations, consciously or unconsciously, mentally, physiologically, physically, overtly or covertly. It is the study of man’s reactions to life stimulations.

  2. Sociology. It deals with the study of human beings living in-groups, of how people act and interact under different social situations, and how they relate themselves to one another. Terms that indicate group action is used here such as cooperate, team work, sociable, conflict, etc.

  3. Anthropology. It deals with the study of civilizations and culture of people: their origins, customs, traditions, beliefs, mores, folkways, and practices. Also included are languages, forms of writing, tools and weapons, buildings and other physical structures.

  4. History. It deals with study of past events that makes us understand the present situation, and to enable us to predict future events.

  5. Philosophy. It deals with a systematized truth or principle that serves as a 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. 6. Legality. Legality refers to the conformity to the laws passed by the State establish and guide the conduct of an educational system. The Constitution is the most important legal document that establishes and guides the conduct of an educational system. It contains the philosophy of education of the country

####### EDUCATION is derived from the Latin word

“educare” or “educere” which means to lead forth. It is defined as the process acquiring knowledge, habits, attitudes, interest, skills and abilities and other intangible human qualities through training instructions and self-activity, and transmitting these vital elements of human civilization to posterity. **TYPES OF EDUCATION

  1. Formal Education** – refers to the hierarchy structured and chronologically grade learning organized and provided by the formal school system and for which certification is required in order for the learner to progress through the grade or move to higher levels. It corresponds to the following levels: ∙ elementary education ∙ secondary education ∙ tertiary education 2. Non-formal Education – refer to any school-based educational activities undertaken by the DECS and other agencies aimed at attaining specific learning objectives for a particular clientele, specially illiterates and the out-of-school youths and adults, distinct from and outside the regular offerings of the formal school system. (B. 232 Art. III Chapter 1 and 2 Sections 19 and 24). 3. Informal Education – a type of education, which can be acquired anytime, and anywhere. It is otherwise known as the education for all seasons. ORIGIN OF EDUCATION There are two theories concerning the exact origin of Education.
  2. The Theory of Divine Creation advocates when God, in the beginning of time, created man according to His image and likeness and commissioned him to multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over all other creations (Genesis Chapter 1), He equipped man with intellect and free will. But because man chose to ignore God and disobey His will, the first couple was banished from the “Garden of Eden” and severed the former relation between the Creator and man.

Henceforth, the first couple multiplied, passing the knowledge acquired from God to their offspring’s, until the time when their children inhabited the earth possessing the intelligence they inherited from their parents. These include the ability to communicate, read and write, knowledge in science and arts, as well as other skills like hunting, farming, fishing, etc. 2. The Theory of Evolution , on the other hand, believes that education started when every primitive man, basically savages, brutish and animalistic, for he had just evolved from the lower primates, began his quest to find ways and means to feed, clothe, shelter and protect

himself, and compete with other animals for survival (i. survival of the fittest).

ANCIENT TO ROMAN EDUCATION Primitive education focused on survival and security. It was simple, had relatively narrow social contacts, and was conservative and prone to be superstitious. Primitive life was tribal, not political. Jewish education was more ethical and religious. Their method of instruction was oral and learning by doing was emphasized. Corporal punishment was considered an essential element of training. China’s policy of isolation made them confident of their protection because they had no intention of invading other countries. Its education was composed of two important aspects: school and examinations. The examinations were the bases for qualifying for government positions. The Egypt was considered the cradle of ancient civilization because very significant historical events took place in this country. Spartan education aimed to develop the capacities of men for war, to prepare the men to defend themselves and their country all times. Athens, on the other hand, aimed to produce young men and women who were charming and graceful in manners. The Romans were practical people who successfully managed their everyday affairs. Their education was utilitarian and emphasized the practical application of learned theories. They developed the virtues essential to the exercise of their rights and the discharge of their duties and obligations. THE MEDIEVAL EDUCATION The early Christian Church ushered in a new hope for the world because it offered a new ethical force that provided the basis for education. The Christian faith unified the different sectors of Western Europe through its

government and laws, its services and the work of monasteries in caring for the poor. Jesus Christ emphasized His teaching as “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all those things shall be added unto you.” He used conversational, gnomic and parable methods in teaching His followers. Monastic education was for the salvation of the individual soul through moral and spiritual discipline guided by the monastic life of obedience, poverty and chastity. Scholasticism was a philosophical system that aimed to bring reason to the support of faith and to strengthen religious life and the church through the development of intellectual power. “ A premier multi- disciplinary technological university “ Chivalry was the secular counterpart of monasticism. Its aim was to attain the highest social ideals through form and custom. Likewise, its main focus was the development of the character of a gentleman – honorable, dignified, god-fearing, and respectful of authority. Guilds were two distinct types. The merchant guilds were composed of businessmen who engaged in buying and selling products. Craft guilds were composed of skilled workers who manufactured and sold their own products. A guild was a type of commercial and professional association formed to promote the common interests of its members. Saracenic religion was founded by Mohammed whose aim was to search of knowledge, the application of scientific facts to everyday living, the development of individual initiative, and an emphasis of social welfare.

THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD AND THE EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENTS OF THE 2Oth CENTURY The latter part of the medieval period gave rise to different movements that rekindled the mind and the spirit. The Renaissance was a period of revival, reawakening or rebirth of learning. Some of the movements during the 18th and 19 th centuries were the following: Humanism as a way of life was concerned with the fullest realization of human existence. It had to distinct phases: Italian or individual humanism was concerned with individual freedom and the development of the elite; and the social humanism, which emphasized moral and social freedom. Reformation was a movement during the 16th century against the abuses of the Catholic Church. Martin Luther was the leading personality of this movement. Catholic-Counter Reformation was a movement of the Catholic Church to correct the abuses of

the clergy and to regain the confidence of the people. Realism was philosophy that emphasized that education should be concerned with the realities of life. Disciplinism was a doctrine advocating the disciplinary theory of education, which believed that the mind of the child at birth was a tabula rasa or blank tablet. The purpose of education was to provide exercises and discipline for physical, moral and mental processes. Rationalism was a movement that upheld the right to opinion, liberty of conscience and the freedom of thought. Naturalism was an educational theory based on a doctrine that opposed those that were artificial. Nationalism was primarily concerned with the preservation and glorification of the state. It believed that the state must depend on education as a safeguard against external aggression.

Plato (427-347 B. C.) Proposed that the society should be divided into classes of people based on their talent and intelligence: a) Philosophical class – guardians or rulers of the society. b) Warrior Class – protectors of the society c) Artisan or industrial class – workers of the society He believed that the social class should determine education where the person belongs he established a school called Academy Aristotle (384-322 B. C.)

He postulated that man is composed of two distinct but united entities: Body and soul. The Greek Universities University of Athens – world’s first comprehensive university.

EDUCATIONAL INFLUENCES OF JESUS CHRIST Jesus was born ca B. and was crucified 33 years after approximately AD 30. In the short stay of Jesus Christ here on earth. He revolutionized man’s concept of religiosity and theology. His methods of teaching people were simple and direct and were intended to touch man’s spirituality. The Teaching Methods of Jesus Christ Parable – a short story, a weighty similitude used to convey instruction to ignorant, prejudiced and inattentive hearers. Ex. Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11:33) C Conversational Method – an intimate, face-to- face, direct, natural, personal and informal method. It is a sort of question and answer method. Ex. John 3:1-11 between Jesus and Nicodemus Mat. 22:15-17 about paying taxes. Proverbial or Gnomic Method – Jesus, in His teachings frequently used gnomes or proverbs, some were quoted from the Old Testament and others were His own. Ex. “For many are called but few are chosen.” Mat. 22:

EARLY CHRISTIAN EDUCATION Upon the resurrection of Jesus Christ, He commissioned His disciplines to “go into the world and preach the Gospels....” (Mathew 28:19), but they received a lot of persecutions from the unbelieving world. However, when Emperor Constantine of the Roman Empire proclaimed Christianity as the official religion of the Roman world, the Christians and their teaching became part of the mainstream society, and the Emperor himself supported the church and established school. By virtue of this support, the following Christian schools were established:

  1. Catechumenal – school for new converts
  2. Catechetical – school for leadership training
  3. Cathedral/Episcopalian – school for the clergy THE DIFFERENT MEDIEVAL MOVEMENTS IN EDUCATION The medieval period is also known as the middle age or the Dark Age that refers to the span of time from the downfall of the Roman Empire in the year A. 476 to the beginning of the Renaissance period about 1333. The different educational

movements during this epoch in history are discussed hereunder: Monasticism education was a religious discipline. Education was strict, rigid and punishment was severe. Education was based on Monastic vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. During the reign of Charlemagne (772-804), he supported the Monastic schools and even established court schools to educate his constituents. Scholasticism – education was an intellectual discipline. The purpose of this movement was to bring reason to faith and support theology by using logic. Saint Thomas of Aquinas (1225- 1274) was one of the foremost proponents of Scholastic movement. He wrote the Summa Theologiac, which became the basis of the majority of the doctrines of the Catholic Church. The Medieval University – the medieval universities started as “universitas magistrorum et scholarium” or corporation of teachers and students chartered by the pope or the kings. The first organized university was the University of Bologna chartered by Emperor Frederick I in 1158. Composition of the medieval university: Studium generale – the student body Nation – a group of students who had the same place of origin Councilors – leaders of a nation Facultas – teachers of the same subject Dean – head of the facultas Rector – head of the Medieval University Chivalry education as a social discipline. This kind of movement flourished in the Christian countries in Europe as a response to the increasing educational needs of the sons of the nobility. Under this system, a boy f noble birth has to pass through the following stages before he is fully accepted as a member of his social class: Page – an attendant to the noble courts at the age of 7 years Squire – an attendant to a knight at the age of 14 years Knight – a full-fledged warrior who has vowed to: Protect the women and the poor Defend the church and the state Attack the wicked and Shed blood for the sake of his country and his compatriots The Guild System – education for the middle class. Towards the end f the medieval periods, a new class of people arose between the nobles and the peasant – the bourgeoisie (burgher) or the middle class. These people

were not really rich like the landed gentry, or poor like the vassals, but rather, they acquired their fortune from the profits in commercial and industrial endeavors brought about by the “Crusades”. In order to protect their interest, they set up organizations known as guilds. There were two types of guilds: Craft guild – organization of skilled craftsmen Merchant guild – organization of businessmen Before a person is accepted as a member or any of the guilds, he must pass through the following stages: Apprentice – a trainee assigned to a master Journeyman – a trainee who travels from place to place under different masters and is paid for his labor Master craftsman - a full-fledged member of a guild As the number of the middle class increased, the need for more schools to meet the educational needs of their children also increased which paved the way for the establishments of the new types of schools, viz: Chantry schools – schools established through the foundations under the clergy Guild schools – served as vocational schools who catered to the children of the members of the craft guild Burgher schools – established to educate the children of the members of the merchant guilt ISLAMIC INFLUENCES ON THE EDUCATION Islam , which means submission to God, a religion that was established by the prophet Muhammad (570-632) is a monotheistic religion whose followers worship only one God-Allah. The teaching of this religion is based on the Qu’ran, their sacred scripture. At the peak of glory of the Islamic civilization they have contributed the following to the world and to education:

  1. Established the most complete curricula from elementary to university.

Module 3 Anthropological Foundations of Education

####### Anthropology is the science of people and

culture. The word is a combination of the two Greek words, “anthropos,” man, and “logos,” an account or calculation. It is the study of human differences, cultural and biological against the background of the nature all humans share. Anthropologists study human social life and culture including the origin of the human race. **BRANCHES OF ANTHROPOLOGY

  1. Physical Anthropology** – refers to which studies people as biological organisms. Physical anthropologists usually tend to concentrate upon human genetics, the study of inherited characteristics upon morphological statistics, the measurement of human body, and the analysis of the body’s physical characteristics. One area of specialist study is the private ethnology, and the study of behavior of apes and monkeys, which unites anthropologists, psychologists, and zoologists.

2. Cultural Anthropology – which is devoted to the behavior of people and the products of that behavior. It is sometimes called “social anthropology”. Ethnolography is the study of a particular culture; in most instances the subject is a living culture. Anthropology and Education – Education at its core refers to the pursuit of knowledge. Anthropology is the study of culture and its people. Since inherent learning structures are a part of anthropology in terms of human development, then education can be considered a primary feature of people and their culture. In other words, without education, there would be no possibility for people to persist in their cultural development and less there would be less emphasis on studying cultural trends. In the process of education, History is being studied which is the main and the basic record of culture, hence it cannot be denied that it is being nourished by education. The

purposeful and befitting of culture helps in the strength and spread of culture. The needs of society, whether religious, social, cultural or psychological, all are fulfilled only by education. One important function of education is the preservation of culture. Continuity of man’s life is possible through this process. Culture has to be conserved and transmitted to the youth for their own benefits because past benefits are useful in learning the new ones. CULTURE is defined by Edward B. Taylor as that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, customs, and other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of a society. KINDS OF CULTURE

  1. Non-material culture (intangible ) includes belief, morals, laws, customs, traditions, folk ways, mores, etc
  2. Material culture (tangible ) includes man’s technologies, etc.

CHARACTERISTICS OF CULTURE

  1. Culture is learned - man is not born with culture, but he is born with the capacity to acquire and learn the culture of his group.
  2. All people have varied culture - every society has its cultural values that are entirely different from the others.
  3. Culture is a group product - man cannot develop a culture of his own if he is alone.
  4. Culture is transmitted - the learned cultures of the past generation are transmitted to posterity through education. What we are today is the product of what they were before.

IMPORTANCE OF CULTURE

  1. Through the development of culture man can set aside certain laws of nature to conform to his needs.
    1. Through the development of culture man can overcome his physical handicaps. FILIPINO CULTURE, THEN AND NOW The Philippine culture is rich in customs and traditions. Philippine culture reflects the complexity of the history of the Philippines through the combination of cultures of foreign influences. UNIVERSAL PATTERNS OF CULTURE Anthropologists have long used models of universal structure. Clark Wissler was one of the earliest anthropologists to deal exactly with the some-called universal pattern in the culture namely: speech, technology, art, mythology, science, political, religion and medicine, family and society, property system and warfare. FOLK WAYS customary ways of behaving, which have become habitual and repetitive to an individual or group. Ex. caring for the elders and saying “po” and “opo” MORES occurs when folkways become compulsive for the welfare of the society and it

has acquired moral significance. Failure to observe or conform to this will result to ostracism or condemnation. CULTURE CHANGE may occur either by accident or direction. It is brought about by the passage of time, migration and other factors. SUB-CULTURE – the attitude of a certain group to deviate from the habitual practices of the majority. This is apparent in the new styles of dressing, language and other practices of a group of people, which are from the majority. CULTURAL RELATIVISM refers to the practices considered immoral or taboo to a certain group of people, yet moral to other societies. Ex. polygamy, pre-marital sex, etc. CULTURE SHOCK is the term used to denote the feeling of depression, often expresses as homesickness, caused by living in a foreign environment. Faced with an unknown or poorly understood foreign language and confused by different codes of conduct, unfamiliar food, and even unfamiliar physical surroundings, the traveler or new resident may look upon the people and the unaccustomed behavior with distaste and sometimes with fear. CULTURAL VALUES refer to the collective ethical, aesthetics and religious values of the community including artistic inclination, poetry, music, painting, literature and such other practices, which the entire society considers as vital elements of their existence. Test of Robin Williams to determine which practices are included in one’s culture. 1. Extensiveness – number of percentage of the population practicing the value. 2. Duration – time element. How long has the value been practice. 3. Intensity – the total impact of the value upon the populace. The severity or gravity of punishments or condemnation for violation. 4. Prestige of the value carries - refers to the people practicing such value.

FILIPINO CULTURAL VALUES The Filipino people are known for their various cultural values. Whether beneficial or not, these cultural values make the Filipinos unique and distinct from other peoples of the world. Some of the important Filipino cultural values are the following:

  1. Non-rationalism is the tendency to perceive thoughts, objects, events and persons as sacred. This includes: Animism – the belief in supernatural spirits who are presumably interfering with man’s

∙ Courtship, mating and marriage are discussed. The nature of the Filipino family and its uniqueness as well as the roles of family members is studied in order to understand and appreciate the patterns of life of the Philippine people. ∙ For the young people it is important to know the laws on marriage and family relations specially related to marriage. EDUCATION AND SOCIETY ∙ Education is a reflection of the mirror of our society. Society itself is an educational system with set standards for the role and status of persons in it. Education should be relevant to the needs of society but society must coordinate with education. EDUCATION AND PHILIPPINE CULTURAL VALUES ∙ The study of attitudes and values begins from those of the home, then continues to those which spring from common life – from the family then to the nation as a whole. ∙ Although the sociological point of view is to perceive things and events with a neutral outlook and discuss how actually things are and not what ought to be, it is still the responsibility of parents and teachers as elders to direct the children’s behavior and attitude to what is considered right and good. ∙ Social changes, especially in the area of values and behavior, occur either by accident or unconsciously through contacts with other cultures and through conscious direction. Education is concerned with developing culture through purposeful direction. THE NATURE AND MEANING OF CULTURE ∙ Man’s effort to live in harmony with his environment is what we call culture. Culture may be defined as the complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. Culture is the product of human experience. ∙ The school classroom serves as the laboratory for the analysis and understanding and of culture because the children today will be the adults of tomorrow. ∙ In the study of culture and the application of the principles of culture to daily life certain concepts are very important; the meaning of the material and non-material aspects of culture. The subcultural influences in our environment, and the concept of cultural relativism. ∙ The characteristics of culture are: 1) culture is learned, 2) culture is a group product, 3) all peoples have culture, 4) culture is transmitted from one generation to another, and 5) culture is adaptive. ∙ Culture is used by man to overcome his physical handicaps, to control the forces of nature and to satisfy his needs and his desires. ∙ The concept of folkways and mores is essential to the understanding of society. Folkways are customary ways of doing things while the mores are behavior and attitudes considered necessary to the well being of the group. Mores are so compelling and so strong than individuals do not violate them for fear of social ostracism. Mores direct the behavior of man. EDUCATION AND SOCIALIZATION ∙ Socialization begins from birth and continues throughout the child’s life. Socialization, the first step to the learning process, is the process of internalizing the norms and standards of his group. ∙ Although the family is the most influential socializing agent, it is not capable of providing all the socializing requirements of the modern youth. The schools provide the venue for developing behavior, attitudes, values and beliefs necessary to eventually becoming a member of the larger societies – the nation and the world. ∙ In the study of socialization the concepts of roles and status are very important. An understanding and adherence to the role and status expectations of the family, the school and society can lead to the maintenance of social order. Social order can be achieved through social control. Rules and regulations lead to social order, the most important of which is ostracism.

Module 4 :Language and Writing

####### The word “Communicate” comes from the Latin verb communicare which means to share, to

impart that which is common. We communicate by agreeing, consciously or unconsciously, to call an object or movement. Communication is not limited to spoken language. We communicate directly through facial expression, body language, gesture and tone of voice. We also communicate indirectly through systems of signs and symbols, such as writing, algebraic equations, musical scores, painting and road signs. As we all know from experience, the spoken word does not communicate all that we know all about a social situation. We can usually tell when someone says “It is nice to see you again,” whether they really mean it. We can tell if they are sad, from their own mistakes, even if they just said, “I’m fine,” in response to a question, “How are you?” the cues are sometimes tone of voice, and sometimes they are not sound cues at all, but all facial expressions, eye contact or other body language.

Despite all various systems of communication available to us, we must recognize the overriding importance of spoken language. It is probably the transmitter of culture, allowing us to share and pass our complex configuration of attitudes, beliefs and patterns of behavior. LANGUAGE Every group of people has a language which is used mainly for communication purposes. But how language is defined? Keesing defined language as “a vocal symbolism of speech, with its related bodily gestures and mechanical signals which give precision and finesse to communication. The American College Dictionary defines language as “any set or system used in a more or less uniform fashion by a number of people who are thus enabled to communicate intelligently with one another. CHARACTERISTICS OF LANGAUGE Among the characteristics of language are the following:

  1. Age. Language is old, probably as old as man because man has to communicate. 2. How language come to be. Language was not invented. It was evolved. Every group of people has by necessity evolved a language to enable them to communicate.

  2. A part of culture. Language is always a part of culture.

  3. Growth and development. Language grows and develops by evolution, that is, the changes take place very slowly and gradually. A language grows by innovation and by borrowing. A language grows by innovation when the people coin new words to be added to their vocabulary and by borrowing when words are borrowed from other languages and adopted as a part of the vocabulary.

  4. Symbolism. Language may be oral, non-verbal, or written. It is oral language, when different sounds with their respective significant meanings are used in communication. It is a sign language when only bodily signs or gestures with significant meanings without sounds are used in communication. It is written language when written symbols with their respective significant meanings are used in communication.

  5. Elements. Every language has three (3) elements: (1) phonology or system of sounds, (2) grammar and (3) lexicon or vocabulary. ELEMENTS OF LANGUAGE As mentioned above, language has three elements. These are the following:

  6. Phonology (phonetic, phonemic) – a system consisting of sounds in human speech with significant meaning. Every sound or set of sounds has a meaning.

  7. Grammar (morphology) – the way of putting together words into a sentence according to definite rules so that a complete thought is expressed.

  8. Vocabulary (lexicon) – the meaning system of language; the collection of words of a language together with their respective significant meanings. FUNCTIONS OF LANGUAGE

Among the functions of language are the following:

  1. Communication. The most important use of language is that it enables men to communicate with one another.
  2. Enculturation. Language facilitates the transmission of accumulated experiences of the people to the incoming generation. Culture is easily transmitted through language.
  3. Promotion of nationalism. When a people or nation speaks one language, they have a sense of oneness or unity, of belongingness, and their nationalistic spirit is aroused.
  4. Promotion of cooperation. Different groups, say nations, who can speak and understand one and the same language may or can unite in pushing through trade, commercial, cultural and even military cooperation.
  5. Promotion of peace. When individuals, groups, or nations speak and understand the same language, this is a big factor in promotion of peace because they can gather themselves in a round table conference and discuss and solve their problems. Many conflicts have been prevented because nations come together and talk out their problems and peace accords have been instead of the use of arms. Although nations do not speak nor understand the same language, still they can communicate with one another employing interpreter.
  6. Accumulation of knowledge. Language makes possible the accumulation of knowledge; the experience of the race. MECHANICAL AIDS IN ORAL COMMUNICATION The human voice probably may not be audible anymore beyond a 200-meter distance even if one is shouting at the top of his voice. But there are mechanical aids in distance and oral communication. Some of these are the following:
  7. Telephone. The telephone was invented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell, an American Scientist. Two persons can converse through the telephone even if they are very far apart. With the present development of the telephone, a person can communicate with another even if they are thousands of miles away.
  8. Radio. Heinrich Rudolph Hertz, a German physicist started the development of the radio with his discovery of an electromagnetic wave that transmits sound. This was followed by Guglielmo Marconi, the forerunner of the radio. This was improved further by other scientists until the radio was perfected. Now, the radio is a big source of information. We hear every minute news broadcasts not only from the whole country but from all over the world.
  9. Television. Television was developed by several men. In 1897, Karl Ferdinand Bran introduced the first commercial cathode tube. This was connected with electric vision in 1907 by Boris Bosing of Russia. A. Campbell Swinton published the fundamentals of

Module 1- Historical Foundations of Educations
Education is the acquisition of knowledge,
skills and attitudes that make man do better. It
is not only a preparation for life but it is life
itself. This is so because throughout the life
man learns many things in and out of school
that changes his life for the better. Education is
informal if the things learned are outside the
school system. It is formal if the things learned
are acquired within a formally organized school
system.
Foundation is a base which any structure or
system stands. A strong foundation makes the
structure of system firmly established and
strong enough to be able to serve its purpose
and to survive calamitous events. The
structure or system is like a house with strong
foundation, which cannot be blown down by a
typhoon nor wrecked by an earthquake no
matter how strong these natural
disasters are.
Foundations of Education are those systems
or sciences upon which education stands and
has its roots, origin, or bases. Foundations of
education are those from which education
arose and came into being. They are the
factors that affected education so much
particularly, curriculum content. There are six
foundations of education: (1) psychological, (2)
sociological, (3) anthropological, (4) historical,
(5) philosophical, and (6) legal foundations.
1. Psychology. It is the study of human
behavior, of how a person acts and reacts
under different situations, consciously or
unconsciously, mentally, physiologically,
physically, overtly or covertly. It is the study of
man’s reactions to life stimulations.
2. Sociology. It deals with the study of human
beings living in-groups, of how people act and
interact under different social situations, and
how they relate themselves to one another.
Terms that indicate group action is used here
such as cooperate, team work, sociable,
conflict, etc.
3. Anthropology. It deals with the study of
civilizations and culture of people: their origins,
customs, traditions, beliefs, mores, folkways,
and practices. Also included are languages,
forms of writing, tools and weapons, buildings
and other physical structures.
4. History. It deals with study of past events
that makes us understand the present situation,
and to enable us to predict future events.
5. Philosophy. It deals with a systematized
truth or principle that serves as a 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.
6. Legality. Legality refers to the conformity to
the laws passed by the State establish and
guide the conduct of an educational system.
The Constitution is the most important legal
document that establishes and guides the
conduct of an educational system. It contains
the philosophy of education of the country
EDUCATION is derived from the Latin word
“educare” or “educere” which means to lead
forth. It is defined as the process acquiring
knowledge, habits, attitudes, interest, skills and
abilities and other intangible human qualities
through training instructions and self-activity,
and transmitting these vital elements of
human civilization to posterity.
TYPES OF EDUCATION
1. Formal Education refers to the hierarchy
structured and chronologically grade learning
organized and provided by the formal school
system and for which certification is required in
order for the learner to progress through the
grade or move to higher levels. It corresponds
to the following levels: ∙ elementary
education ∙ secondary education ∙ tertiary
education
2. Non-formal Education refer to any
school-based educational activities undertaken
by the DECS and other agencies aimed at
attaining specific learning objectives for a
particular clientele, specially illiterates and the
out-of-school youths and adults, distinct from
and outside the regular offerings of the
formal school system. (B.P. 232 Art. III
Chapter 1 and 2 Sections 19 and 24).
3. Informal Education a type of education,
which can be acquired anytime, and anywhere.
It is otherwise known as the education for all
seasons.
ORIGIN OF EDUCATION
There are two theories concerning the exact
origin of Education.
1. The Theory of Divine Creation advocates
when God, in the beginning of time, created
man according to His image and likeness and
commissioned him to multiply and replenish the
earth and subdue it and have dominion over all
other creations (Genesis Chapter 1), He
equipped man with intellect and free will. But
because man chose to ignore God and disobey
His will, the first couple was banished from the
“Garden of Eden” and severed the former
relation between the Creator and man.
Henceforth, the first couple multiplied,
passing the knowledge acquired from God to
their offspring’s, until the time when their
children inhabited the earth possessing the
intelligence they inherited from their
parents. These include the ability to
communicate, read and write, knowledge in
science and arts, as well as other skills like
hunting, farming, fishing, etc.
2. The Theory of Evolution, on the other hand,
believes that education started when every
primitive man, basically savages, brutish and
animalistic, for he had just evolved from the
lower primates, began his quest to find ways
and means to feed, clothe, shelter and protect
