teacher. This part of training is manifested after the complex nature of the teacher
Individuals who intend to become a teacher are required to fully understand and
systematic presentation of facts, ideas, skills, and techniques to the students. Although
human beings have survived and evolved as a species partly because of the capacity to
share knowledge, teaching as a profession did not emerge until relatively recently in
which designated people assumed responsibility for educating the young ones.
Teachers are like leaves that flourish everywhere but effective teachers are like
fruits, they are rarely found. In view of that, more than knowledge and skills, an effective
teacher should be compassionate and understanding. This kind of training inside the pre
service education, you will learn the important factors which are part of the components
Student Teaching is the foremost and most important step in moving from
amateur status on the way to gain the competencies that mark the factual professional

to get a chance to learn and put the skills on the line of his own classroom.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM
REFLECTION
The Outreach Program that we held last December 11, 2010 at Rabosna Day Care Center
in North Fairview is really a heartwarming activity we did this activity not only because
of the Christmas Season, but also as a future professionals it is also our responsibility to
share something for the other members of our community. When we got there and the
programs are already started we can see the smile in every child that benefited with our
little gifts. When I witnessed that I’ve come to realize that I wanted to go back being a
child once more because as a child you are free from any problems you have nothing to
do but to play, eat, and sleep… I do hope that this child would have a better and brighter
Quezon City Campus. At this point I am very happy that finally I almost finished my
tertiary level education. I have so many plans but my immediate plan after my
Bachelor’s Degree is to find a job right away weather be it a teaching or office career
upon having this I will save money because I want to take the LET exam not more than
one year after the graduation and after that I want to enroll immediately my Master’s
Degree I want to finished it five years below from the day I graduated from college. I
will not let myself to be stocked I want my career to move on I will not stop looking for
self improvement because that is one of the philosophy of the teacher to promote
continuous education. I know I can’t do all this without the helping hands of our
Almighty God so I always pray to him to continue shower me with all the graces and
blessings that I will be needing in my journey. All of this will be offered back to him. So
help me Lord.
Dream Big… Dream High… Do something to achieve it at the end of the day you will
end up Victorious…
here comes the practicum 2 The Student Teaching, this time I don’t feel much of the
nervous unlike the first day of my practicum 1 maybe it is because I am still in the
university and much of my students are all my students during my practicum 1 the BBTE
1-1, BBTE 2-1 and DOMT the new set of students I have now are the BSBA-HRDM 1-1
& 2-N and BSEM 1-2 so that I don’t have a major adjustment from the professor and to
the students. What I have to do is to know2 more my students especially the new class
that I have. It is the first week of the second semester I was just introduce by my
coordinating teacher to the class which I am going to take my student teaching they are
given an assignment for next meeting and for me this practicum 2 is just like a
continuation of practicum 1 but this time it is quite harder because I am really the one
This week is really a start of being a student teacher, wanna know why? Because I enter
the class throughout the period all by myself I was kinda shock when the time I am
having a discussion as based on the assignment that was given to them I almost lost my
patience when there are students who seems like not interested to the lesson and when
they are having too much noise. But as much as I can I employ techniques and strategies I
have learned to catch their attention and I know to myself that I should have to exert
more effort and energy because it is just the beginning the worst has not yet to come.
On the other hand, I am sad because I miss my classmates and friends because they are
all having their students teaching outside the campus and we will only see each other
every Saturday. I missed our bonding the sharing of stories and experiences with our
handled class.
Well, this is an unexpected week for me I only teach my Monday class after my second
period class I lost my voice, but the reason of losing my voice is not my teaching load
somewhat yes it is, it triggers my bad feeling until I totally got sick I had fever, cough
and colds so that the next day up to the end of the week I was absent in the school. I’ll
texted my coordinating teacher about what happen to me so they will know the reason of
my absences.
If possible I really don’t want this to happen because I want to go on with each lesson
especially the one that I really prepared and to be practical I missed 12 hours of my
because some of them up to this time are not yet start taking their student teaching.
This week is purely a classroom discussion in all my class all of us are already acquainted
with each other since this is the fourth week we had to go on with our lesson. I started the
class by checking their attendance before I go on with our discussion and every after
discussion I’ll give them a short examination just to let me know if they understand our
lesson.
This week is exactly like the routine what we had last week the continuation and opening
of a new discussion in every class and sometimes it depends upon the class situation if I
am going to give them an assignment or a quiz just like the normal thing that I used to do
just to make sure if they really catch the lesson that we had.
Well, this week is the last school week for this year we can now have our Christmas
vacation for the students I’ll give them their Christmas gift hahaha….. their vacation
assignments. I can’t stop myself from laughing when I see their reaction they are all
making angal but I need to do this vacation should not be an excuse for them not to study
they need to work on it so that it will serve as start of our topic when we meet next year.
Good luck to all and may we have a prosperous year to come yahoo…..
This is the first school week for 2011, the students are still in the mood of the vacation
days but this should not be the reason not to start and continue the class. I collected their
assignments and have a discussion right away and I notice that there are some of them
who did not submit assignments and study their lesson maybe because they really enjoy
the season and they are not expecting me to start the class as early as first meeting of the
New Year.
Week 8- January 10-14, 2011
This week seems to be the busiest week for all the class that I have, we need to finish
discussing all the topics that are already discussed so that it can be included to their
pointers to review for their upcoming midterm examination. I used to fixed their schedule
as base on their usual class schedule what I tend to do is to have a batch examination so
that the classroom will be overcrowded and also to avoid cheating at the same time they
can answer and think well and on my part I want everything to be organized.
This the week for Midterm Examination it is the second time that I have witnessed the
said activity but this time not as an ordinary student but as a student teacher. It is a great
pleasure for me because I am the one who made the exam I really feel that I am a teacher,
feel my authority within the class. As I watched the students taking up their exams it
flashback memories during the time when I was the one taking exam I saw one of the
most complicated scenarios on the life of a college student. On the other hand I am
looking forward to know the result of their exams for me to see how they have learned on
The midterm exams are over now the burden of checking their test papers (essay type and
worksheet) and recording of grades is on my hand I started to sleep very late at night at
around 2:00 a.m just to finish everything because it is a part of my duty as a student
teacher. It is not so good for me because some of the students failed in the exam but I
believed that it is normal for a student who does not pay attention to his lesson. But all in
all most of the student got a good grade in the exam which I can say that my passion for
It is a start of a new beginning, start of the second part of the semester new sets of lesson
is about to start so again I put extra effort by reading books and preparing some of the
materials that I will be needing in my class. And also I am continuing to think of a new
and other strategy that I can employ to my class because it seems that the students get
bored in the traditional kind of teaching strategy which is the normal classroom
discussion so I think of something to be added with what I used to have and I find it
effective because the students get focus on the lesson and it is very important that the
teacher should know when to change and employ other methodology to cater the needs of
the learner.
Nothing new for this week continuation of the topics that needs to be discuss except the
fact that this week is the campus field trip I observe in every class they are all excited
about the event they are all talking what to bring and prepare until one class was asking
me not to have a class before the day of their field trip off course they not won because
my reason is its their choice to attend in the activity our class should not be compromise
and then they were saying “si sir para naman kayong hindi naging estudyante ” I just
smile at them.
Week 13- February 14-18, 2011
This week was a very busy days for me because aside from my regular teaching loads one
of my coordinating teacher ask me to handle one of her class and I did not notice that
there is a problem with the time schedule Thursday 7:30 – 10:30 and my class is 9:00 -
12:00 and so what I did since the classroom is just a step away I minimize the time to the
extent that the two classes will suffering with the situation. I started the class on time
before 9 O’clock comes I’ll give them something to worked on so that I can go to other
room. On the lighter side of the story I am happy because this week is the Valentine’s
Day and the students are very appreciative they give something to me greetings,
My schedule for this week is exactly what I have last week even if I get tired of it, It is
fine with me because I know it is a calling of the profession I was enjoying every class
Weeks to go before my last day as a student teacher. I feel so sad for that because I am
so attached with my students. Since last week is the I.T week one of my class are being
excuse so we need to have a make up class to finish everything especially now that the
final examination is about to come. I find it also as an opportunity to extend our time
together with the students so far same scenes were done just like before but it seems that
its more dramatic because will going to say goodbye to one another.
Week 16- March 7-11, 2011
I am so exhausted with all the things that I’ve been doing as a student teacher but I am
enjoying it despite of the workloads that I have because of that even if the final exam is
about to happen next week I to my class I’ll give it to them this week yes off course they
are informed about that they’re exam is one week ahead with the rest of the students in
the university I’ll do it for my own convenience I’ll be stated to them the reason behind
all this and they are all agree with it for them to prepare to their social dance activity
This week was so very busy for me because the deadlines of different things were coming
on my way. But I am sure after all of this I’ve learned my lesson and that would be the
best treasure that I will bear forever. After the final examination lots of paper works are
waiting for at home test papers, final projects, practice set oh no… and so again I started
This is my final week as a student teacher in PUPQC. I feel blessed to have my mentors

Barriers in TVET

enable her to join the EU (European Union) market. Funding SVET (Strengthen

euro). Yet it fell short of the ideal target of 65 percent share of total secondary
enrollments while the enrollment in the past decade remains a constant at 35 percent.
the main reason is that the Turkish students still consider technical professions least
prestigious and easy to enter compared to graduating from a university. Does that sound
familiar?
VocTech secondary schools of European and OECD countries: Austria, 77.3; Belgium,
69.6; Finland, 66.7; Germany, 57.4; Italy, 59.8; Netherlands, 67.6; Norway, 57.5;
Switzerland, 64.8. Lower than 50 percent enrollees are France, 43.8; Japan, 24.3; Mexico,
Some professions like catering, real estate, surveying, etc. have been performed by
people without attending vocational schools in Turkey. Some of those jobs are still
performed by unqualified people. But in the near time, these professions will be
performed by technicians who graduated from vocational schools. A student who studies
in a vocational school must know that he will have a good job, earn more money, and get

Other barriers to enhancing the quality of VocTech training are the lack of training
standards in the Turkish system. They merely serve administrative purpose. The content
is often a list of topics to be taught and without indication of levels required at the start
and the level to be achieved upon completion. Guidelines for assessing the student are
lacking and the technology is often outdated. Being teacher oriented it lacks flexibility to
Many countries stress the need to place greater emphasis on TVET in the years to
come
Vocational Education has recently been one of the primary policy areas of governments,
competition, changes in demographic development and the labor market, are giving rise
to a need for new strategies on education and training policy. Economic development
depends a great deal on adapting TVET systems to meet social and economic demands.
For this reason many countries place a greater emphasis on highlighting the importance

ONE CHILD POLICY AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN SOUTH
CHINA
By: Preciosa S. Soliven
January 13, 2011
NANCHANG, Jiangxi, China — Flight to Nanchang was delayed since our plane was
caught in the snow blizzard from Tibet, a highland province of China. Overnight stay in
the airport hotel required our getting up at four in the morning to catch the earliest flight
the next morning. Our tight schedule could not dislocate the programs already set by the
host’s months ahead with Mr. Jimmy Po, president and board vice chairman of the
included the formal induction ceremony of our hosts’ school into the Chinese Montessori
Foundation where local government officials with educators, parents and media people
were guests.
Planes, train rides and first class hotel accommodations have been carefully pre-booked
months ahead. Our Chinese Sta. Ana Montessori branch coordinator, Kathy Chua and
one of our teacher trainors, Cecile Azurin accompanied me. Young lady receptionists and
teachers would greet us “Huan ying” from an attractive green reception counter with the
logo of the Chinese Montessori Foundation. The pictorial history of Dotoressa Maria
Montessori are displayed on the adjacent walls. A magazine stand with articles for
parents and the bimonthly Chinese Montessori Journals published by the Taipei
Montessori Association helped answer the new parents’ and grandparents’ questions.
Nanchang is filled with historical sights associated with the Communist Party. Before
holding the ECE forum at the Nanchang University, we were toured at the Teng Wang
Pavilion, which features a very huge and elegant ancient architecture with a three-tiered
pagoda tile roof. Our hosts, Mesdames Li Quiong and Ms. Wang are in-charge of the
university preschool that would be inducted into the Chinese Montessori Foundation
then.
Branded at first “capitalist roader” for offering commonsense corrective solution to the
excesses Deng Xiaoping went on to become China’s leader. His economic reform carried
his famous remark “to get rich is glorious.” From the mid ’70s Zhou Enlai (who groomed
Deng Xiaoping as his successor) did much to restore balance and China found a seat in
The Nanchang University hall was filled with educators, students and parents. They were
very eager to learn the Montessori psychology, which promotes the full potential of
children from birth in contrast to the traditional pedagogy of educating children through
memorization. The video presentation of how the Montessori system replicated itself
yearly for 45 years producing the new Filipino children from infancy to adolescence
intrigued them. At the moment China is not inclined to use the system beyond preschool.
Hong Kong’s Ralph Yau and Daisy Lau talked about the “New Parenthood and the New
Children.” The parents posed several questions on their role in transforming the home
environ to condition their children to love work and order in lieu of mere play.
Everyone knows that China is the most populous nation on earth. Even a richer country
might despair when faced with the necessity to feed, house, clothe and educate one fifth
of humanity. The official figure of the population now stands at 1. 328 billion. Half of the
population is under 21 years of age. Translated in terms of total population of the planet,
almost one person in every four is Chinese. For every 24 hours there are about 33,000
additional mouths to feed in China. In one year, China’s population increases more than
enough to replace the whole population of vast metropolis of Tokyo or New York.
China’s official goal of 1.2 billion by the year 2000 has been surpassed. A vigorous
campaign has been mounted based on the assumption that if 65 percent of the population
under 30 agrees to limit their families to one child the objective can be achieved. Since
the mid ’50s authorities have encouraged family planning through delayed marriages and
distribution of free contraceptives, but these policies were not effectively implemented
Chinese experts said China could only support a population of 800 million. This is a
major reason for the great emphasis China has placed on birth control. Thus the reward
system for parents who raise only one child has guaranteed income bonus, more health
care subsidy, better retirement pension as well as being given priority in housing
allocation. Their only child also gets preferential consideration for day care enrollment
According to CHED Memorandum Order 59, series of 1996, general education demands
“an interdisciplinary approach which would help the students see the human being as an
Let me continue to explain the key words in that sentence through examples.
First, the word “human.” In the film Patch Adams, the main character (played by Robin
Williams) protests when a doctor refers to a patient by number rather than by name.
Similarly, teachers that look at students as mere names in a class list are not doing their
job. A good teacher knows every single student, not just by name, but by attitude and
capability. When I observe a class, I have a simple measure for finding out if a teacher is
good or not: a teacher who divides a class into buzz groups by simply asking everyone to
count off is too lazy to sit down and figure out who can work best together.
Now, the word “integral.” Students know very well that they cannot shut off the world
when they sit down for a test. Their latest encounter with their classmates or their parents
necessarily affects their concentration. One of the problems with so-called standard
multiple-item tests is that they assume that everybody thinks exactly in the same way at
exactly the same pace. A student, like everybody else, is an integral person, which means
that he or she always thinks with the heart and feels with the brain.
The word “national” appears simple, but it is not. Look at newspapers. Last Sunday, only
one newspaper (Philippine STAR) thought of putting on its front page the news about 47
people dead because of floods in southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. The other
newspapers thought that it was not of national importance, even if the rains affected most
of the country. Other newspapers routinely put things that occur in Metro Manila on its
front pages (even heavy traffic, for heaven’s sake!) and ignore major events happening
General education must make students aware that the country is much bigger than Metro
Manila. The Philippine Literature course (for which I did the syllabus) in the GE
curriculum makes this explicit: “The student must have written a term paper of at least
five pages analyzing one literary text written in the language of the region or by someone
born in the region where the school is located.” It is wrong to assume that Metro Manila
writers are superior to writers in other regions just because they live or work in the
or Ilocano.
Finally, the term “global.” As early as 1996, it was already clear to CHED that the fate of
our country is closely tied to the fate of the whole world. We cannot say that climate
change, the knowledge economy, and the war on terror do not concern us. Like it or not,
even if we want to be nationalistic and think only about ourselves, Filipinos are dying
from floods during what should be the dry season, many of our best intellectuals are
working abroad, and somebody throws a grenade somewhere near us every so often.
Students must be made to realize that what we do affects everybody else, and what other
Since I wrote the final draft of CMO 59, I can tell you where I got that definition of
general education. I plagiarized it from the description of general education in the old
manuals of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports. Education is education, and
its nature, purpose, and outcome have not changed since the time Confucius and Socrates
Recently, the CHED Technical Panel on General Education came up with a definition of
general education that keeps the same centuries-old concept but uses words more

WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama says better education in math and
science is critical to pushing the US forward in the global competition for innovation and
jobs, and he wants the private sector to get involved in making it happen.
Obama recorded his weekly radio and Internet address during a visit this week to Intel
Corp. outside of Portland, Ore. He praised the company Saturday for making a 10-year,
$200 million commitment to promote math and science education and held it up as an
example of how corporate America can make money at the same time it builds the
country.
"Companies like Intel are proving that we can compete that instead of just being a nation
that buys what's made overseas, we can make things in America and sell them around the
globe," Obama said. "Winning this competition depends on the ingenuity and creativity
of our private sector. But it's also going to depend on what we do as a nation to make

"Our reforms will focus both on saving these programs for current and future generations
of Americans and on getting our debt under control and our economy growing," Price
said. "By taking critical steps forward now, we can fulfill the mission of health and
retirement security for all Americans without making changes for those in or near
retirement."
In the midst of the controversy on RH bill, one congressman has come out with a
statement that this proposed measure is not necessary since population management has
long been a government policy. We are referring to Congressman Karlo Alexei Nograles
of Davao City who is one of the sensible legislators who oppose the enactment of this
anti-life bill. Indeed, why craft a law that would divide the nation and arm-twist a people
to control birth?
Condom, which is the popular means of controlling birth, would be freely distributed by
government health workers because huge funds would the earmarked for the purpose
once the bill is passed. In fact, this year, even with the bill still pending enactment, the
government is setting aside – hold your breath – P3 billion for information campaign on
contraceptive use.
In its premise the RH initiative purports to encourage the use of natural and artificial
means of birth control. Yet there are provisions which mandate the government to shell
out millions of pesos for buying anti-pregnancy materials for distribution to the general
public. Once passed, this legislation would therefore abet the use of artificial means of
spacing birth, a position the Catholic Church vehemently opposes. The reason is by now
clear to most Filipinos who have followed this issue: Using contraceptives aborts life in
the mother’s womb. It’s murder pure and simple. If this is encouraged by the state,
where’s the constitutional declaration that we are “imploring the aid of Almighty God” in
There is no question on the need to control population growth. But the answer, like the
answer to almost all of our social problems, lies in education, general education including
an expertly managed sex education. Raise the level of the educational attainment of the
92 million Filipinos and population growth tapers off. But leave tens of millions of these

even this state is not yet a guarantee for gainful employment because in today’s world a
higher level of schooling is a must. Hence, there’s a huge mass of poverty stricken warm
bodies whose urgent concern is survival and to whom family planning is a meaningless
thing. If only we have a no-nonsense anti-poverty program. If only we can better educate
our people there would be no need to spend billions for birth control.
But there’s no money for education, for good education, that is. For years we have run
our school system on a “puwede na” mentality –puwede na even if one classroom is used
by two or three classes, puwede na even if only one textbook is available for three or four
students, puwede na even if many high schools are manned by “casual” teachers, puwede
The irony is that there’s money for other less critical purposes. Pork for legislators, to

another, drain the same coffer of more billions. And of course, corruption has leeched
Education? It’s the boast of politicians that this program gets the lion’s share of the
budget, but this happens because it has the most number of personnel. The bitter truth,
however, is that only a meager 15 to 16 percent of our GNP is shelled out for education.
Compared to other Asian countries, most of which spend 20 to 25 percent of their budget
Our failure to spend enough for our school system could be the reason why we have
remained the economic poor boy of Asia. Years were when we were the envy in this part
of the world for education and progress. But we must have been asleep (like Rip Van
Winkle?) all these years because many of our neighbors like Indonesia, Vietnam, India
and others, which used to be in the backwaters of development, are now looking down at
us.
What will wake us up? Education, of course, because education is the engine of growth
and development. But as long as we treat our schooling system like decrepit barangay
schools we will remain half awake and problems such as poverty and its companion

retention and mastery of topics and skills, and benchmark Filipino students with their
