2.3 IDENTIFICATION
Categorizing belief statements according to school of thoughts.
There are several kinds of philosophical beliefs which represent broad spectrum of
thoughts of what school should do, what curriculum should offer, how teacher will teach
and how students will learn. Our belief score will focus on five distinct school of
thoughts: perrenialism, idealism, realism, experimentalism, and existentialism.
A. Compare the philosophical views of the new and seasoned teacher with
your own by checking the appropriate box/es.

PERRENIALISM
Compare the results. Who among you strongly adhere (rating of 5) to perrenialism as a
school of thought?
As a matter of fact, almost all have balanced answers but the person who rated 5 in
some of the items was the seasoned teacher. I think, she is a perennial teacher in some
ways in which she considers education as a preparation for life and that curriculum
consists of subjects and doctrines. However, the teacher who really got the most points
for this is the new teacher who is more perennial among us.

2.4 INTERNALIZATION
Contextualizing initialized knowledge.
With the present Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum (K to 12), what do you think will
be the most appropriate philosophical beliefs about:
A. Education?
B. School?
C. Curriculum?
D. Teachers?
E. Students?
F. Methods of Teaching?
As for me, dealing with education, school, curriculum, teachers, students, methods
of teaching, the most appropriate philosophical beliefs for the enhanced K12
curriculum are realism and experimentalism. Given the fact that educational system
of K-12 primarily aims to provide the students greater opportunity to explore the
world through various pedagogies to be provided by the teacher, these educational
philosophies are applicable.
Self-reflection
B. What philosophical agreements develop among the new, seasoned teachers, and in you? In terms of the different educational philosophies, we had developed a sense of agreement in almost all of them. We have the commonality in believing with some of the aspects that concern every philosophy. In this regard, this helps me to establish a sense of being a teacher as I also believe in the philosophies followed by the new and seasoned teacher. C. What significant differences appear among these groups? (New teacher,
seasoned teacher, and you)
We just vary on the level of the belief in every educational philosophy. This simply implies that every person can actually create and establish own philosophy which can be essential in the teaching field in a long- run.

2.5 DISSEMINATION
Intrinsic transfer: Formulating belief statements of a K to 12 teacher.
See the big picture in your career path. Think seriously about the K to 12
program as your source of Belief Statements of a K to 12 teacher. Develop your
belief statements of a K to 12 teacher.
Use the following questions to guide you in stating your belief:
A. What are schools for?
Schools for me are the place where accessible hands on experiences take place.
These provide an opportunity for the students and teacher to socialize with each
other while sharing experiences and gaining knowledge and skill.
B. What subjects are of value?
For me, all of the subjects have values that need to be given focus. However, I
would like to focus on the greater attainment of success in dealing with sciences
and communication arts.
C. What is an ideal K to 12 teacher?
An ideal K-12 teacher knows how to think in a wide spectrum of information. A
teacher must be globally competitive who can provide the new generation of
learners an opportunity to be aware with the happenings not only in the local and
national but also international contexts.
D. What should be the primary goal of a K to 12 teacher?
The primary goal of K12 teachers must give focus on providing opportunity for
the students to explore the world theough creative and innovative pedagogies of
the teacher.
E. What is the best way for students to learn?
OPEDA, SHENA MAE D. BSED 4-A Academic Year: 2018- 2019
The best way for the students to learn is to let them experience the things that
they need to learn. Give them resources that can be beneficial in their studies
and let them find ways on how they could understand the contexts of what they
are learning.
