1. Identify the different sociological dimensions which are vital in the implementation

of k-12.

Educational planning cannot succeed without attention to social factors. Basically, all authors

agree that sociology of education deals with three categories of problems. First, it involves study

of relations between educational systems and the rest of society, including the economy. The

second category of problems is related to the educational system or school as a social system or

organization in itself. Third, sociology of education deals with the social aspects of the learning

process. Clearly, sociology of education is related in numerous ways to the various problems that

educational planners have to face. To learn to look for social factors and social forces and their

mutual interdependence and to view education as an integral part of a social whole is probably

the most important component of sociological sensibility and of the sociological approach to

educational planning.

Sociology, the scientific study of human social behavior. As the study of humans in their

collective aspect, sociology is concerned with all group activities: economic, social, political and

religious society. Sociologists see education as one major institution that constitutes society.

While theories guide research and policy formulation in the sociology of education they also

provide logical explanations for why things happen the way they do.

There are two theories that help the sociologist understand the educational system.

1. Consensus theoryis a general or widespread agreement among all members of a

particular society.

- Shared norms and values as fundamental to society

- Focus on social order based on tacit agreement

- Social change occurs in slow and orderly fast ion

- Examine value integration in society.

- Absence of conflict is seen as the equilibrium sets on a society based on a general orwidespread agreement among all members of a particular society.

2. Conflict theoryis a clash between ideas and principles of people.

- Emphasize the dominance of some social groups

- See social order as manipulation and control by dominant groups.


2/31

- Social change occurs rapidly and in disorderly fashion as subordinate groups over

throw dominant groups.

- Examine conflicts of interest and coercion that holds society together.

- Can be covert or overt.

- Focus on the heterogeneous nature of society and the differential distribution of

political and social power.

Conflict Theory has an impact in the Philippine Education System

- Schools contribute to the unequal distribution of people into jobs in society

- Powerful membersbest positions- less powerful groups (minority, ethics, racial,

women)- lowest rank.

The role of Education in assuming the Conflict Theory

- Education plays in maintaining the prestige, power, and economic and social position

of the dominant group in society.

Status cultures refer to groups in society with similar interest and positions in the status

hierarchy.

- Max Weberschools teach and maintain particular status cultures

- Schools are homogeneous in their student bodies.

- Education system trains individuals in specialties to fill needed positions or prepare

cultivated individuals.

How do people or an organization settle or conflict?

- Conflict theory assumes that social behavior is best understood in terms of conflict or

tensions between competing groups.

- Conflicts need not be violent; it can take the form of labor negotiations, party politics,

and competition between religious groups.

- The conflict theorist are interested in how societys institutions the family ,

government , religion, education and the media-may help o maintain the privileges of

some groups and keep others in subservient position emphasis on social change and

redistribution of resources makes conflict theories more radical and activist

- The consensus theory is a sociological perspective or collection of theories, in which

social order and stability social regulation form the base of emphasis.

- It is concerned with the maintenance or continuation of social order of society in

relation to accepted norms, values, rules and regulations of society.


3/31

The proponents of consensus and conflict sociological and social theories are:

- Karl Marx

- Emile Durkheim

- Max Weber

- Talcott Parsons and Robert Merton- Louis Althusser and Ralph Dahrendorf

- Herbert Mead and Herbert Blumer

Structural Functionalism

- States that society is made up of various institutions that work together in cooperation

- Parsons structural functionalism has four functional imperatives also known as AGIL

scheme.

1. Adaptationsystem must cope with external situational exigencies. It must adapt

to its environment and adapt environmental to its needs.

2. Goal Attainmenta system must define and achieve its primary goals.

3. Integrationa system must regulate the interrelationship of its component parts.

it must also manage the relationship among the other three functional imperatives.

4. Latency (pattern maintenance)- a system must furnish, maintain and renew both

the motivation of individuals and the cultural patterns that create and sustain the

motivation.

Parsons answer to the problem of order in structuralism functionalism

1. Properly of order and interdependence of parts

2. Self-maintaining order or equilibrium

3. Maybe static or involved

4. Nature of one part has an impact on the forms that the other parts can take

5. Maintain boundaries with their environments

6. Allocation and integration are two fundamental process necessary for a given equilibrium

7. Self-maintenance of real relationships of parts to whole

Parsons social system begins at the micro level with interaction between the ego and alter-ego,defined as the most elementary form of the social system. He was interested in such a large-scale

components of social system as collectiveness, norms and values. Parsons was not simply a

structuralist but also a functionalist.

Structural Functionalism functional requisites of a social system

1. Social system must be structured so that they operate compatibility with other systems.

2.Is education really will improve the quality of life among Filipinos?

Yes for me because education in the Philippines evolved from early settlers to the present.

Education in the country is in great importance because it is Primary Avenue for upward social

and economic mobility. Philippine educational system has a very deep history from the past in

which it has undergone several stage of developing going to the present system of education.

Education from Ancient Early Filipinos

The education of pre-Spanish time in the Philippines was informal and unstructured. The fathers

taught their sons how to look for food and other means of livelihood. The mothers taught their

girls to do the household chores. This education basically prepared their children to become good

husband and wives.

Early Filipino ancestors valued education very much. Filipino men and women know how to

read and write using their own native alphabet called alibata. The alibata was composed of 17

symbols representing the letters of the alphabet. Among these seventeen symbols were three

vowels and fourteen consonants.

Educational System during Spanish Period

The educational systems of the Philippines during the Spanish times were formal. The religious

congregations paved the way in establishing schools from the primary level to the tertiary level

of education. The schools focused on the Christian doctrines. There was a separate school for

boys and girls. The wealthy Filipinos or the ilustrados were accommodated in the schools.

Colonial education brought more non-beneficial effects to the Filipinos.

When the Spanish first arrived inManila,they were surprised to find a population with a literacy

rate higher than that ofMadrid.

During the early Spanish period, most education was conducted by religious orders. The friars,

recognizing the value of the literate indigenous population, built printing presses to produce

material in baybayinMissionaries studied the local languages and the baybayinto communicate

better with the local populations and teachChristianity.

The church and the school both worked together. All Christian villages had schools for students

to attend.

Spanish missionaries established schools immediately after reaching the islands.

TheAugustinians opened a school inCebu in 1565. TheFranciscans,in 1577, immediately took

to the task of teaching improving literacy, aside from the teaching of new industrial and

agricultural techniques. TheJesuits followed in 1581, also by theDominicans in 1587, and they

started a school in their first mission atBataan.

In 1590, theUniversidad de San Ignacio was founded inManilaby theJesuits,and following the

suppression of the Jesuits was incorporated into theUniversity of Santo Tomas, College of

Medicine and Pharmacy.

Thefirst book printed in the Philippines dates back to 1590. It is aChinese languageversion

ofDoctrina Christiana.ASpanish andTagalog version, in bothLatin script

and the locally

used baybayinscript, was printed in 1593.

In 1610,Tomas Pinpin,a Filipino printer, writer and publisher, who is sometimes referred as the

"Patriarch of Filipino Printing", wrote his famous "Librong Pagaaralan nang manga Tagalog

nang Uicang Castilla", which was meant to help Filipinoslearn the Spanish language. The

prologue read:

Let us therefore study, my countrymen, for although the art of learning is somewhat

difficult, yet if we are persevering, we shall soon improve our knowledge.

Other Tagalogs like us did not take a year to learn the Spanish language when using my

book. This good result has given me satisfaction and encouraged me to print my work,

so that all may derive some profit from it.

In 1640, theUniversidad de San Felipe de Austria was established in Manila. It was the

firstpublic university in the Philippines. On April 28, 1611, theUniversity of Santo Tomas was

founded inManila as the Colegio de Nuestra Seora del Santisimo Rosario.

By the end of the 16th century, several religious orders had established charity hospitals all over

the archipelago and provided the bulk of this public service. These hospitals also became the

setting for rudimentary scientific research work on pharmacy and medicine.

The Jesuits also founded the Colegio de San Jose in 1601 and took over the management in what

became Escuela Municipal in 1859 (which was later renamed as Ateneo Municipal de Manila in

1865; today asAteneo de Manila University). TheDominicans on their part founded theColegio

de San Juan de Letran in 1620 in Manila.

The Educational Decree of 1863 created a free public education system in the Philippines, run by

the government. It was the first such education system in Asia. The decree mandated the

establishment of at least one primary school for boys and one for girls in each town under theresponsibility of the municipal government; and the establishment of anormal school for male

teachers under the supervision of theJesuits.Primary education was free and available to every

Filipino, regardless of race or social class. Contrary to what thepropaganda of the Spanish

American War tried to depict, they were not religious schools, but schools established, supported

and maintained by the Spanish Government.

In 1866, the total population of the Philippines was 4,411,261. The total number of public

schools for boys was 841, and 833 for girls, while the total numbers of children attending those

schools were 135,098 for boys, and 95,260 for girls. In 1892, the number of schools had

increased to 2,137, of which 1,087 were for boys, and 1,050 for girls. By 1898, enrollment in

schools at all levels exceeded 200,000 students.

Because of the implementation of public education, a new social class of educated Filipinos

arose, theIlustrados('enlightened ones'). This new well educatedmiddle class of Filipinos would

later lead thePhilippine independence movement,using the Spanish language as their common

language. Among theIlustradoswho had also studied in Spain wereJos Rizal,Graciano Lpez

Jaena,Marcelo H. del Pilar,Mariano Ponce orAntonio Luna,who were to lead later the cause of

Filipino self-government and independence.

First Republic

The defeat of Spain following theSpanish-American War led to the short-lived independence

movement which established the insurgentFirst Philippine Republic.The schools maintained by

Spain for more than three centuries were closed for a short period but were reopened on August

29, 1898 by the Secretary of Interior. The Burgos Institute (the country's firstlaw school), the

Academia Militar (the country's firstmilitary academy), and the Literary University of the

Philippines were established. Article 23 of theMalolos Constitution mandated that public

education would be free and obligatory in all schools of the nation under theFirst Philippine

Republic.However, thePhilippineAmerican War hindered its progress.

American period

An improved public school system was established during the first decade of American rule upon

the recommendation of theSchurman Commission.Free primary instruction that trained the

people for the duties of citizenship and avocation was enforced by theTaft Commissionper

instructions of PresidentWilliam McKinley.Chaplains and non-commissioned officers were

assigned to teach using English as the medium of instruction.

A highly centralized public school system was installed in 1901 by thePhilippine

Commissionby virtue ofAct No. 74. The implementation of this act created a heavy shortage of

teachers. As a result, Philippine Commission authorized the Secretary of Public Instruction to

bring to the Philippines more than 1,000 teachers from the United States called

theThomasitesfrom 1901 to 1902. These teachers were scattered throughoutthe islands to

establishbarangayschools.The same law established the Philippine Normal School (now

thePhilippine Normal University)to train aspiring Filipino teachers.

The high school system supported by provincial governments, special educational institutions,

school of arts and trades, an agricultural school, and commerce and marine institutes were

established in 1902 by the Philippine Commission.

In 1908, thePhilippine Legislature approvedAct No. 1870, which created theUniversity of the

Philippines.TheReorganization Act of 1916provided theFilipinizationof all department

secretaries except the Secretary of Public Instruction.

The emergence of high school education in the Philippines islands, however, did not happen until

1910, caused by the rise in big businesses and technological advances in factories and the

emergence of electrification that required skilled workers. In order to meet this new job demand,

high schools were created and the curriculum focused on practical job skills that would better

prepare students for professional white-collar or skilled blue-collar work. This proved to bebeneficial for both the employer and the employee, because this improvement in human capital

caused employees to become more efficient, which lowered costs for the employer, and skilled

employees received a higher wage than employees with just primary educational attainment.

Two decades later, enrollment in elementary schools was about one million from about 150,000

in 1901, and about 100,000 in high school from less than 20,000 in 1901.

Third Republic

In 1947, by the virtue ofExecutive Order No. 94, the Department of Instruction was changed totheDepartment of Education.During this period, the regulation and supervision of public and

private schools belonged to the Bureau of Public and Private Schools.

Fourth Republic

In 1972, the Department of Education became the Department of Education and Culture by the

virtue ofProclamation 1081which was signed byPresident Ferdinand Marcos.

Following a referendum of all barangays in the Philippines from January 1015, 1973, on

January 17, 1973, President Marcos ratified the1973 ConstitutionbyProclamation 1102. The1973 Constitution set out the three fundamental aims of education in the Philippines, to:

Foster love of country;

teach the duties of citizenship; and

develop moral character, self-discipline, and scientific, technological and vocational

efficiency.

On September 24, 1972, byPresidential Decree No. 1, the Department of Education, Culture and

Sports were decentralized with decision-making shared among thirteen regional offices.

In 1978, by thePresidential Decree No. 1397, the Department of Education and Culture became

the Ministry of Education and Culture.

TheEducation Act of 1982provided for an integrated system of education covering both formal

and non-formal education at all levels. Section 29of the act sought to upgrade education

institutions' standards to achieve "quality education", through voluntary accreditation for schools,

colleges, and universities; Section 16and Section 17upgraded the obligations and qualifications

required for teachers and administrators; while Section 41provided for government financial

assistance to private schools. This act also created the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports.

Fifth Republic

On February 2, 1987, a new Constitution for the Philippines was ratified. Section 3, Article

XIVof the1987 Constitution contains the ten fundamental aims of education in the Philippines.

It is also seen that under the 1987 Constitution (under Section 2 (2), Article XIV), only

elementary school is compulsory.

In 1987 by virtue ofExecutive Order No. 117, theMinistry of Education, Culture and Sports,

became theDepartment of Education, Culture and Sports. The structure of DECS as embodied

in the order remained practically unchanged until 1994.

On May 26, 1988, theCongress of the Philippinesenacted theRepublic Act 6655, theFreePublic Secondary Education Act of 1988, which mandated free public secondary education

commencing in the school year 19881989On May 26, 1988, the Congress enacted the act

which made free public secondary education to become a reality.

On February 3, 1992, the Congress enactedRepublic Act 7323, which provided that students

aged 15 to 25 may be employed duringChristmas andsummer vacation with a salary not lower

than the minimum wage. 60% of the wage is to be paid by the employer and 40% is by the

government.

The Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) report of 1991 recommended the

division of DECS into three parts. On May 18, 1994, the Congress passedRepublic Act 7722,

theHigher Education Act of 1994, creating theCommission on Higher Education (CHED),

which assumed the functions of the Bureau of Higher Education, and supervises tertiary degree

programsOn August 25, 1994, the Congress passedRepublic Act 7796, the Technical Education

and Skills Development Act of 1994, creating theTechnical Education and Skills Development

Authority (TESDA), which absorbed the Bureau of Technical-Vocational Education plus the

National Manpower and Youth Council, and supervises non-degree technical-vocational

programs. DECS retained responsibility for all elementary and secondary education. This

threefold division became known as the "trifocal system of education in the Philippines".

2000s

In August 2001,Republic Act 9155, otherwise called the Governance of Basic Education Act,

was passed transforming the name of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS)

to the Department of Education (DepEd) and redefining the role of field offices (regional offices,

division offices, district offices and schools). The act provides the overall framework for (i)

school head empowerment by strengthening their leadership roles and (ii) school-based

management within the context of transparency and local accountability. The goal of basic

education is to provide the school age population and young adults with skills, knowledge andvalues to become caring, self-reliant, productive and patriotic citizens.

In 2005, the Philippines spent about US$138 per pupil compared to US$3,728 inJapan,

US$1,582 inSingapore and US$852 inThailand

In January 2009, DepEd signed a memorandum of agreement with theUnited States Agency for

International Developmentto seal $86 million assistance to Philippine education, particularly the

access to quality education in theAutonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), and

theWestern andCentral Mindanao regions.

Educational Decree 1863

The first educational system for students in the country was established by virtue of the

Education Decree of 1863. In furtherance, the decree required the government to provide school

institutions for boys and girls in every town. As a consequence, the Spanish schools started

accepting Filipino students. It was during this time when the intellectual Filipinos emerged. The

normal school was also established which gave men the opportunity to study a three-year teacher

education for the primary level.

From the history of the Philippine education we see the changes that happen in the education andof course how the Filipinos change their life because of education. Many Filipinos became more

competitive around the world not only in academics but in different kind of sports were Filipinos

competing.

Thru education the perception of the Filipinos change about of what we call gender equality and

racial discrimination that happen around the world not only in the Filipinos. Before the Filipino

women were not allowed to send in school because women before was only in the house. But

because of what we called education the Filipino womens change their life and they proved that

education is not only for the men. Nowadays many women now in the Philippines become more

successful than a man. Many Filipinos now proving their self not only in the Philippines but in

the other country.

Education proving that any one of us has the right to educate either youre in the low class or inthe upper middle class and thru education many people change the way of their life.

3. Asia 2015 will be on the way. What sociological implications and limitations it will

be in the Philippine Education?

We cannot escape ASIA 2015. The world is growing smaller day by daythe wonders of

technology and the efficiency of internet transactions have made it so. Global integration

will come, whether we like it or not.

The limitations that Philippine education facing today ASIA 2015 are:

1. The teachers are declining

2. Most graduates are too young to enter the labor force. Since most children start grade

1 when they are 6 years old they do not reach legal employable age of 18 when they

graduate from high school today.

3. Parents have to shell out more money (for transportation and food) for the education

of their children.

4. The government does not have the money to pay for two more years of free education

since it does not even have the money too fully support todays ten years .DepEd

must first solve the lack of classrooms, furniture, and equipment, qualified teachers,

and error-free textbooks.

5. We can do in ten years what everyone else in the world takes 12 years to do . why do

we have to follow what the rest of the world is doing? We are better than all of them

Filipinos right now are accepted in prestigious graduate schools in the world, even

with only ten years of basic education.

6. As far as the curriculum is concerned DepEd should fix the current subjects instead of

adding new ones. The problem is the content, not the length, of basic education. As

an editorial put it, we need to have better education, not more education.

4. Differentiate the sociological impacts of the old curriculum and the k-12.

Curriculum is a broad set of experiences that students go through during the entire time they arein school. The curriculum is generally considered as the complete course path that will enablestudents to attain the goals and general objectives of education. It is the learners engagement


12/31

with various aspects of the environment, which is under the direction of the school. Curriculumempowers all students and motivates them towards lifelong learning. But because oftechnological advancements, the spread of new information media and the predominance ofsoftware and hardware devices, a schools curriculum should be enhanced. It should bepragmatic to meet the needs of society and should conform to the actualities of the community.

A schools curriculum should be re-structured with a likely shift towards a more meaningfulcourse of study.It is indeed very important for an educational institution to have a balanced andwell-designed curriculum for all the programs it offers. In doing so, the institution shall have amore stable system inundertaking its goals and mission so as to make its curricular programsefficient and effective to its major concernthe students.

Curriculum Design: Basic Concepts

Curriculum is from the Latin word that means course or run. A schools curriculum is

basically concerned with the course of study that identifies the specific goals of education foreach development stage in school. Those goals are usually stated as target competencies alearner should achieve at a specific stage of his stay in school.

Factors that Influence the Curriculum

The world is changing so fast that in order for schools and universities cope with newinnovations,

they should keep at pace with the tempo of societal changes and technological progress. Theschools of today should participate in the educational and social revolution. Thus, the curriculumin Philippine schools today has to be geared to the rapid societal changes and the newresponsibilities for the new breed of Filipinos. The three most important sectors of society that

give direct input to the improvement of the curriculum are the academe (institutions), thegovernment, and the industries (both public and private companies). Some governmentinstitutions, such as the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Department ofEducation (DepEd), are directly involved in upgrading the curricular programs of learninginstitutions. They oversee and control the operations of schools, colleges and universities.Engineering programs, for instance, have been guided in the past a series of government policies,rules, and programs. For instance, during President Ferdinand Marcos administration, when thegovernment shifted to parliamentary form, the Ministry of Education and Culture (MECS) issuedOrder No. 36 S. 1976 (the S. stands for Series) which spelled out Policies and Standardsfor Engineering Education. About 10 years later, MECS also issued Order No. 42 S. 1985 titled

Revised Policies and Standards for Engineering Education. Upon Marcos deposition and the

consequent restoration of the presidential form of government under the Aquino Administration,the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS, which was how todays DepEd used

to be called) sent out DECS Order No. 76. 1989 setting forth the Revised Engineering

Laboratory Requirements and Its Implementing Guidelines. This was supplemented in the sameyear by DECS Order No. 102 S. 1989 known as the Revised Policies and Standards for

Engineering Education Later, CHED issued Order No. 16 S. 1996 which created the Technical

Panel for Engineering, Architecture and Maritime Education (TPEAME). In 1997, the TechnicalPanel for Engineering (TPPE) was created thru DECS Order No. 35 S. 1997and DECS Order


13/31

No. 25 and 75 S. 1998 which provided that the TPPE shall serve as a consultative, advisory andrecommendatory body to the DECS. The CHED, through Memorandum Order No. 14 S. 1997,laid down Guidelines for the Identification, Support and Development of Potential Centres ofExcellence in Engineering and Architecture Programs. The issuance of guidelines wassupplementedy CHED Memorandum Order No. 49 S. 1997 which set down a new Curriculum

Guidelines for Engineering Education. The government agency known as Department of Tradeand Industry also came up in the late 90s with major programs to upgrade engineering educationin the country. Two such programs were the Industry Exposure Program for EngineeringStudents (IEPES) and the SMEsAcademe Collaboration for Technology Innovation (SMEstands for small and medium enterprises). Industries, on the other hand, also contribute a lot forthe improvement of the curricula. Industries and companies (both public and private) giveinsights regarding the specific competencies and skills needed by graduates at the workplace.This is strengthened by the results of researches conducted by the Congressional Commission ofEducation 1993 (EDCOM) which identified the problem of

mismatch between the attributes of products leaving the educational system and the expectationsof industries. The mismatch was identified as having stemmed from irrelevant curricula.

Re-structuring the Curriculum

Several colleges and universities are now beginning to shape curriculum for the future in anattempt to address the realities and changes in the global community in the 21st century. Theyhave initially envisioned the future curriculum to be:

1. ComputerBased. Subjects in the curriculum should be computer-based to meet the rapid

advancement of technologies. A lot of computer software is already available in the market inalmost all subjects in medicine, engineering, education, business, nursing, architecture, etc.Current computer applications for classroom instruction vary and include:

Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI)uses the computer as well as a self-contained teachingmachine to present individual lessons Computer-Managed Instruction (CMI)uses the computerto organize instructions and track student records and progress. The instruction itself need not bedelivered via a computer, although CAI is often combined with CMI Computer-MediatedEducation (CME)computer applications that facilitate the delivery of instruction and mayinvolve electronic mail, fax, real-time computer conferencing, and World Wide Web application.

Computers indeed can be used in improving the quality of student learning and the efficiency of

teaching. With the CD-ROM and projection facilities, the computer is used to supplementpersonal teaching methods.

2. EnvironmentFocused. The continuing degradation of the environment has captured theattention of concerned citizens around the globe. Integration of environmental education inselected curricular programs is very important especially for a developing country like thePhilippines. Students must become earth-friendly and commit to environmentally sound


14/31

lifestyle. They must also recognize interdependence in a global village and be prepared to

contribute to it. In 1992, President Fidel V. Ramos signed Executive Order No. 15 that answersthe call for global action on the state of the environment. He created the Philippine Council forSustainable Development that adopted the Philippine Agenda 21which takes a balanced andintegrated approach to development issues by incorporating sustainable development principles

and concepts aligned with the national priorities of the government.One of the strategies ofPhilippine Agenda 21 is the promotion of environmental education, information and publicawareness. This strategy reinforces P.D. 1152 or the Philippine Environment Code of 1977 thatmandates the integration of environmental education into the core curriculum of all academiclevels. Agenda 21 recognizes the fact that both formal and non-formal environmental ethicalawareness, values and attitudes, skills and behaviour are consistentwith sustainabledevelopment. As in the case of the engineering program, during the July 1996 PhilippineAssociation of Technical Education (PATE) convention, the technical committee together withthe different Technical Panel for Engineering, Architecture and Maritime Education (TPEAME)which serves as the technical arm of the CHED unanimously agreed to include EnvironmentalEngineering as one of the subjects in any Engineering Program to help develop in future

engineers an understanding of how humans relate to natural condition and to instil in them theimportance of making wise decision on the use of natural resources. As approved, a 2- or 3unitsubject, preferably with the descriptive title Introduction toEnvironmental Engineering, isoffered as compulsory subjects in all Engineering programs nowadays.

Among the most popular descriptive title of the course as recommended by CHED are:

Environmental Management Waste Management Industrial Waste Control Waste Pollution Control, Treatment and Disposal

The topics outlined by the TPEAME include the following:

Principles of Ecology Sustainability Concept Global Environmental Issues Local and International Regulations Environmental Impact Assessment Water and Waste Waster Engineering Air Pollution Solid Waste Management Waste Minimization

Noise Pollution Thermal Pollution

3. ResearchOriented. With the complex problems teachers face, they need to findsolutions and it is in finding those solutions that research plays an important role.Research enables educators to identify outcomes, make predictions and establish cause-and-effect relationships. Assigning research work to students will give them the


15/31

opportunity to learn by themselves with minimal supervision from their teachers. Bydoing research, students will have a first-hand experience of applying the principles ofscientific methodology and hence make them better decision-makers in the future.Educators are encouraged to help their students develop research attitude (Baratang,

2003) by instilling in them the so-called Problem-Orientedness attitude.

4. . TechnologyEnriched. The positive impact of technology is not limited to business,government and medicine but extends to education as well. The advances incommunication and information technology is radically altering the shape and delivery oflearning throughout the world. Technological innovations have reshaped societies andaffected mens life. It is likewise revolutionizing and globalizing education to meet

business and industry needs.

5. ValueLaden. Although the main focus of the curriculum is to teach students a set of

body of knowledge, educators all over the world agree that values should also beintegrated in the learning process. Inculcating values in an academic program can lead tothe development of a human being committed to the building of a just and humanesociety. All academic programs should, therefore, be strengthened with values that are

worthy of perpetuation for the rebuilding of society.

6. Community-Involved. Participation in community service has become an essentialeducational tool that enriches students learning experiences. It bridges the gap between the

theories learned in the classroom and the realities of life in an actual community where theoriescan be practiced. Mc Elhaney (1998) stated that serving the community is not only an integralpart of the mission of institutions of higher education but also very much an actual tool oflearning as it has been observed that there are real academic learning outcomes in individualswho participated in community service. Godwin (2001) also describes that community service isan experiential learning and has been offered as a significant strategy to assist higher educationin producing the type of citizen needed for a healthy democracy.

7.Industry-Linked. Students are oriented to the world of work before they graduate.Curriculums are now designed to enhance optimum individual adjustments toward self-realization and career development. This means integrating classroom study with planned andsupervised practical experience in technological, educational or cultural activities outside of theformal classroom environment usually in public or private enterprises.

2010s and the K-12 program

Since 2011, the country started its transition from its old 10-year basic educational system to the

K-12 educational system, as mandated by DepEd. This time, the new 12-year system is now

compulsory, along with the adoption of new curricula for all schools (see2010s and the K-12

program). The transition shall last until the S.Y. 2017-2018, where the first graduates under the

new educational system will be brought forth.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_Philippines#2010s_and_the_K-12_programhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_Philippines#2010s_and_the_K-12_programhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_Philippines#2010s_and_the_K-12_programhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_Philippines#2010s_and_the_K-12_programhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_Philippines#2010s_and_the_K-12_program


16/31

All public schools in the Philippines must start classes from a date mandated by the Department

of Education (usually every first Monday of June), and must end after each school completes the

mandated 200-day school calendar of DepEd (usually around the third week of March to the

second week of April). Private schools are not obliged to abide by the date declared by DepEd,

but must open class no later than the last week of August.

The start of this century's second decade saw a major improvement in the Philippine education

system.

In 2011, DepEd started to implement the newK-12 educational system,which also included a

new curriculum for all schools nationwide. The K-12 program has a so-called "phased

implementation", which started in S.Y 2011-2012.

There are four "phases" during the implementation of the new system. These are:

Phase I:Laying the Foundations.Its goal is to finally implement the universalkindergarten,

and the "development of the (entire) program".

Phase II:Modeling and Migration.Its goal is to promote the enactment of the basic

education law, to finally start of the phased implementation of the new curriculum for

Grades 1 to 4 and 7 to 10, and for the modeling of thesenior high school.

Phase III: Complete Migration.Its goal is to finally implement the Grades 11 and 12 or

thesenior high school, and to signal the end of migration to the new educational system.

Phase IV: Completion of the Reform.Its goal is to complete the implementation of the K-12

education system.

However, during the new educational cycle, from 2016 to 2018, college enrollment could stopor, at least, slow down because of the entrance of the lower-year students to the new educational

system.

Outline of the new system

At Kindergarten, the pupils are mandated to learn the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors

through games, songs, and dances, but in theirmother tongue;thus after Grade 1, every

student can read on his/her mother tongue.

The 12 original mother tongue languages that have been introduced for the S.Y. 2012-

2013 areBahasaSug,Bikolano,Cebuano,Chabacano,Hiligaynon,Iloko,Kapampangan,Maguindanaoan,Meranao,Pangasinense,Tagalog,andWaray.

7 more mother tongue languages have been introduced for the S.Y. 2013-2014. TheseareIbanag,Ivatan,Sambal,Akeanon,Kinaray-a,Yakan andSurigaonon.

In Grade 1, the subject areas ofEnglish andFilipino are taught, with a focus on "oral

fluency".

17/31

In Grade 4, the subject areas of English and Filipino are gradually introduced, but now, as

"languages of instruction".

Currently in high school,Physics istaught in 4th Year, but with the effect of the K12

program, these subjects are connected and integrated from Grades 7 to 10 with the use of the

spiral progression method in teaching. This will also be implemented onMathematics. The high school from the former system will now be calledjunior high school,whilesenior

high school will be the 11th and 12th year of the new educational system. It will serve as a

specialized upper secondary education. With thesenior high school, students may choose a

specialization based on aptitude, interests, and school capacity. The choice of career track

will define the content of the subjects a student will take in Grades 11 and 12. Senior high

schoolsubjects fall under either the core curriculumorspecific tracks.

Core curriculumlearning areasincludelanguages,literature,communication,mathematics,philosophy,natural sciences,andsocial sciences.

Whereas there are three choices that are available to be chosen by the studentsor theso-called "specific tracks". These are:

Academics, which includes three strands which are:

1. Business, accountancy, and management

2. Humanities, education, and social sciences

3. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics

Technical-vocational-livelihood, which specializes in vocational learning. Astudent can obtain a National Certificate Level II (NC II), provided he/she passesthe competency-based assessment of theTechnical Education and SkillsDevelopment Authority.This certificate improves employability of graduates infields likeagriculture,electronics,andtrade.

Sports and arts, which is responsible for educatingsenior high schoolstudents onthe fields ofsports andarts.

Current 4th Year students in high school in S.Y. 2014-2015 are exempted in this

program.

5.Discuss the sociological advantages and disadvantages of having a class using

facebook especially its implementation in the province just in case it will be

implemented.

We need to know first the history of face book.

Zuckerberg wrote a program called Facemash on October 28, 2003 while attendingHarvard as

asophomore.According toThe Harvard Crimson,the site was comparable toHot or Not and

"used photos compiled from the online facebooks of nine houses, placing two next to each other

at a time and asking users to choose the 'hotter' person"

To accomplish this, Zuckerberghacked into protected areas of Harvard's computer network and

copied private dormitoryID images. Harvard did not have a student "Facebook"(a directory with

photos and basic information) at the time, although individual houses had been issuing their own

paper facebooks since the mid-1980s. Facemash attracted 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in

its first four hours online.

The site was quickly forwarded to several campus group list-servers, but was shut down a few

days later by the Harvard administration. Zuckerberg faced expulsion and was charged by the

administration with breach of security, violatingcopyrights,and violating individual privacy.

Ultimately, the charges were dropped. Zuckerberg expanded on this initial project that semester

by creating a social study tool ahead of anart history final. He uploaded 500Augustan images to

a website, and each image was featured with a corresponding comments section.]He shared the

site with his classmates and people started sharing notes.

The following semester, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website in January 2004. He

said he was inspired by an editorial about the Facemash incident in The Harvard Crimson.On

February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "Thefacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com.

Six days after the site launched, three Harvard seniors (Cameron Winklevoss,Tyler Winklevoss,

andDivya Narendra)accused Zuckerberg of intentionally misleading them into believing he

would help them build a social network calledHarvardConnection.com.They claimed he was

instead using their ideas to build a competing product. The three complained to The Harvard

Crimsonand the newspaper began an investigation. They later filed a lawsuit against

Zuckerberg, subsequently settling in 2008for 1.2 millionshares (worth $300 million at

Facebook'sIPO).

Membership was initially restricted to students ofHarvard College;within the first month, more

than half the undergraduates at Harvard were registered on the service. Eduardo Saverin

(business aspects), Dustin Moskovitz (programmer),Andrew McCollum (graphic artist),

andChris Hughesjoined Zuckerberg to help promote the website. In March 2004, Facebook

expanded to the universities ofColumbia,Stanford,andYale.It later opened to allIvy

League colleges,Boston University,New York University,MIT,and gradually most universities

in Canada and the United States.

In mid-2004, entrepreneurSean Parker (an informal advisor to Zuckerberg) became the

company's president. In June 2004, Facebook moved its operations base toPalo Alto,

California.It received its firstinvestment later that month fromPayPal co-founderPeter Thiel.In

2005, the company dropped thefrom its name after purchasing thedomain name facebook.com

for $200,000.

In May 2005, Accel partners invested $12.7 million in Facebook, andJim Breyer[27]added $1

million of his own money. A January 2009Compete.com study ranked Facebook the most used

social networking service by worldwide monthly active users.[28]Entertainment Weeklyincluded

the site on its end-of-the-decade "best-of" list, saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes,

remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game

ofScrabulousbefore Facebook?"

A high-school version of the site was launched in September 2005, which Zuckerberg called the

next logical step. (At the time, high-school networks required an invitation to join.) Facebook

expanded membership eligibility to employees of several companies, includingApple Inc. and

Microsoft.On September 26, 2006, Facebook was opened to everyone at least 13 years old with a

validemail address.

In late 2007, Facebook had 100,000 business pages (pages which allowed companies to promote

themselves and attract customers). These started as group pages, but a new concept called

company pages was planned.

On October 24, 2007, Microsoft announced that it had purchased a 1.6% share of Facebook for

$240 million, giving Facebook a total implied value of around $15 billion.Microsoft's purchase
