    CHAPTER 2.

    HISTORICAL FOUNDATION OF
    EDUCATION

    Intended Learning Outcomes:


    At the end of Chapter , you should be able to:
    ● state the relationship of society and schools
    ● prove that schools transmit cultural values by stating facts from education history in the
    world and in the Philippines
    ● explain the meaning of socialization as a function of schools

    EDUCATION or SCHOOL is an institution created by society. Education is a function of


    society an as such arises from the nature and character of society itself. Society seeks t preserve
    itself and to do this it maintains its functions and institution, one of which is education to assure
    its survival, stability and convenience.

    SOCIALIZATION is the ‟ process of learning the roles, statues and values necessary for
    participation in social institution …( Brinkerhoff, D.,1989 ). Socialization is a lifelong process. It
    occurs primarily during early childhood but as we progress from infancy to old age we shed old
    roles and adopt new one. Role learning that prepare us for future roles is termed anticipatory
    socialization. ( Brinkerhoff, D., 1989 ) Because of anticipatory socialization most of us are more
    or less prepared for our future roles like spouse, parent, professional teacher. The family is the
    most agent of socialization and the schools is also an important agent of socialization. It is an
    institution charged by society to impart specific knowledge and skills necessary for functioning
    in a society.

    Education in Primitive Society


    Brinkerhoff ( 1989 ) explains further:
    In primitive societies, preliterate persons faced the problem of survival in an environment that
    pitted them against natural forces and wild animals. To survive human being needed food,
    shelter, warmth and clothing. To transform a hostiles environment into one that is life
    sustaining , humankind developed life skills that eventually became cultural pattern. The
    purpose of primitive education is thus to guide children to becoming good members of their tribe
    or band.

    Education During the Pre-Colonial Period


    Education was informal and unstructured, decentralized. Father taught their sons how to look
    for food and other means of livelihood. Mothers taught their girls to do household chores. This
    education basically prepared their children to become good husband and wives. Children were
    provided more vocational training but lesser than academics. Teacher were tribal tutors
    ( Babaylan or Katalonan ).

    Education During the Spanish Era


    Education was formal and organized. Formal education was brought to the Philippines by the
    Spaniards, which was conducted mostly by religious orders. Upon learning the local languages
    and writing systems, they began teaching Christianity , the Spanish language and Spanish
    culture. Pupils attended formal schooling in the parochial school. Instruction was Religion
    oriented. Christian doctrines, sacred songs and music and prayers were taught because they were
    required for confession and communion. There was a separated school for boys and girls.

    The Educational Decree of 1863


    It provided a free public education system in the Philippines. This law gave Filipinos a
    complete system of education from elementary to the collegiate level.

    Education During the American Regime 1898- 1946


    The Americans promoted democratic ideals and the democratic way of life. The law provided
    for the establishment of the elementary in all municipalities in the country. The schools
    maintained by the Spaniards for more than three centuries were closed but were reopened on
    August 29, 1898 by the secretary of the interior. A system of free and compulsory elementary
    education was established by the Malolos constitution ( Political Constitution of 1899 ). In May
    1899, the first American school was established in Corregidor and shortly after the capture of
    Manila in 1899, seven school were opened in the city.

    also given importance. Good manners and discipline were also taught to the students.
    ● Education also emphasized nationalism so the students were taught about the life of Filipino
