    How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect the
    future of education of our learners? DR. AMELIA M. ILAGAN
    MAED 401A Professor

    In two decades of existence, I’ve never imagined my life without education. And I’m pretty sure,
    I wouldn’t have learned to read fluently, to write legibly, and to communicate effectively. Without
    these, I wouldn’t have learned to overcome the demands of life. Way back then, I still remember how
    excited we were going to school every day to learn new lesson and to discover new things. I can’t help
    but to feel nostalgic. Unfortunately, those were days and today is totally different because of the
    problematic setting of educational system brought by COVID-19 pandemic, where conducting of normal
    (face-to-face) class is compromised due to the strict implementation of health and safety protocols.

    Consequently, to provide sustainable education despite the impediment, the government and
    school administrators should be flexible for change to cope with the new normal policy. Thus, the
    Department of Education shifted to distance learning delivery for the present school year including
    Online Learning, Modular Distance learning, Blended Learning, Radio-Based Instruction, and TV-Based
    Instruction.

    But, how will this affect the future of education of our learners?

    The new normal in education situates students to learn in the four corners of their homes. It
    places parents or guardians as the learning facilitators of their children. However, the challenge falls
    under students who do not have books, gadgets, internet, or other resources and even supportive
    parents. Basically, our present condition provided a clear picture of existing disparities among students.
    Those who have the resources are the ones who could have a better result of learning while those who
    don’t have could suffer from loss of learning or maybe a poor academic achievement in the future.
    Undoubtedly, it is evident every week during retrieval of modules where returned modules without or
    incomplete answers are always come from those students whose parents are not capable of helping
    their children because of either lack of knowledge or unavailable resources, including their time.
    Accordingly, today’s learning depends on students’ condition. Hence, those underprivileged students
    are at highest risk of being left behind.

    In the light of situation stated above, the government with the Department of Education must
    seek to reach those who at great risk of being left behind. Educational projects and programs that focus
    on uplifting the minority should be given priority and concern. So, the Dep-Ed budget should be
    augmented and secured to aid in providing resources for the students and teachers, and for the
    educational sector as a whole.

    In addition, to cope with the current situation and to meet the challenges of an undetermined
    future, every one in the system must be accountable- the students, the teachers, the parents, and the
    government. We should be firmly-bonded together and must work together, so that, a sustainable
    quality education that suits for the future and next generation is possible for all.

    What is the relevance of this Philosophical
    Foundation of Education in teaching and its DR. AMELIA M. ILAGAN
    effect on the learning of our students? MAED 401A Professor

    During my first teaching job interview in my previous school, I was asked by the principal “What
    is your teaching or educational philosophy?” So, I answered her “I believe that students learn best by
    doing, and it requires active teaching. Therefore, teachers should think of strategies that can motivate
    and encourage students to learn in impactful ways”, I added.

    As I began to enter in the realm of teaching, I started to ask myself, “Why do I need this and that
    of my school?” From then, I remember how my professor way back in college and even today has
    taught and changed my perspective in education. Later on, I grasped the idea of our education- that
    we’re governed by a one system. Accordingly, schools as part of the system should be directed for
    specific goals, aims, and objectives that are anchored on educational philosophy.

    Philosophy as foundation of education is a statement that elucidates the beliefs, values, and
    understanding of nature of education. It determines the mission and vision of a school as a whole. It is
    therefore, an idea that directs the system to plan programs, projects and curriculum including role of
    teachers. Afterward, turn this into an actual situation by applying the philosophy in educational setting.

    In today’s curriculum, you might notice why teachers are just facilitators of learning? Why
    teachers let the students discover their own learning? Why teachers don’t spoonfeed the students?
    Why is there a need for a collaborative or groupwork activity? These all could be answered by
    educational philosophy such as progressivism, constructivism, pragmatism and the like. Primarily, the
    way teachers teach student and the way students learn becomes a reflection of the philosophy of the
    teachers and the school as whole.

    Moreover, every student is unique and has their own way of learning. Consequently, it is our
    responsibility as teachers to develop their full potentials whatever qualities and behaviors they
    possessed. Using a philosophy that is anchored with the Department of Education, a “quality, equitable
    and culture-based education” is attainable. Hence, “Maka-Diyos, Maka-tao, Makakalikasan at
    Makabansang mag-aaral na Pilipino” would be shaped to become an asset in the progress of our nation.

    Select at least three (3) of the following
    Philosophy of Education. Explain and relate it in DR. AMELIA M. ILAGAN
    real-life scenario as a teacher. MAED 401A Professor
    a. Progressivism b. Humanism c. Naturalism
    d. Idealism e. existentialism

    Educational Philosophy plays a significant role in the lives of educators. It drives us to the
    direction of sound action and sound judgement in education. Moreover, the following educational
    philosophies are remarkable based on my beliefs.

    In Progressivism, education comes from the experience of the student. In other words, it is a learning
    by doing. As a TLE teacher, this philosophy is really significant as my subject requires application. For
    example, I am going to teach how to bake a cake. So, as a progressivist, I am not going to discuss only
    the procedures in doing such but rather I will let my students experience the actual baking. I will be a
    facilitator, and they will be the doers of the action.

    In Idealism, education is merely based on ideas or abstract thinking. An idealist primarily used Socratic
    Method or art of questioning as it develops critical thinking skill among students. For instance, I will ask
    a specific student about how Home Economics subject helps him/her as a student? And when he/she
    answers “Home Economics teaches us practical skills for daily living”. Then by that, I can use probing
    questions or give him/her another question about his/her answer to develop deeper understanding of
    such topic. It is not to intimidate or put down the student’s knowledge but the goal is to gain greater
    understanding.

    In Existentialism, every student is unique. They interpret the material or lesson on their own based on
    their feelings, values, and situations. Let's say, we will have an activity in Agriculture where students
    are required to observe specific vegetable in the garden outside the classroom. Basically, this activity
    will lead to them to choose what they like to observe and what they want to learn. From this, they will
    experience freedom at the same time they will be responsible for their own learning. Hence, they have
    to explain their choices.
