Philosophies of Education Which philosophies ate expressed in the Which philosophies are expressed in the

DepEd Vision, Mission Statements, Core K to 12 Curriculum Framework and


Values, and Mandate? Give proof, Guide and sec 5 of RA 10533?
Give proof.
1. Essentialism – teach mastery of the
basics;
curriculum is prescribed: subject
matter -centered there are universal,
objective values; inculcate values in
subject matter
2. Perennialism -- teach those that last,
the classics; there are universal values:
inculcate these universal, objective
values
3. Progressivism - very child-centered;
teach those that interest the child; one
leans by experience: learners learn by
doing so teacher teacher’s teaching is
experiential; values are subjective: no
inculcation of values since they are
subjective; instead teachers help
students clarify their values
4. Reconstructionism - school is agent
of change, schooling is preparing
students for the social changes:
teaching is involving the students in
discussions of moral dilemmas.
5. Existentialism – Teachers teach
learners to make a choice, to make
decisions and not merely to follow the
crowd; one who does not make a
choice and so simply follow others do
not leave meaningful life.

6. Pragmatism - That which is useful, .


that which is practical and that which
works is what is good; that which is
efficient and effective is that which is
good. e.g. showing a video clip on
mitosis is more efficient and more
effective and therefore more practical
than teacher coming up with a visual
aid by drawing mitosis on a cartolina or
illustration board
7. Rationalism – emphasizes the
development of the learners' reasoning
powers; knowledge comes though
reason; teacher must develop the
reasoning power of the learner
8. Utilitarianism - what is good is that
which is most useful (that which brings
happiness) to the greatest number of
peoples;
9. Empiricism - source of knowledge is
through the senses; teacher must
involve the senses in teaching-learning
10. Behaviorism - behavior is shaped
deliberately by forces in the
environment and that the type of
person and actions desired can be the
product of design; behavior is
determined by others, rather than by
person's own free will; teacher must
carefully shape desirable behavior;
drills are commonly used to enhance
learning, rewards reinforce learning.
11. Constructivism — Learners are
capable of constructing knowledge and
meaning; teaching — learning
therefore is constructing knowledge
and meaning; teacher does not just
"tell" or dictate but asks learners for
knowledge they construct and meaning
of lesson
