In this course, I learned how education starts in the past and how it strives
and continues to stand and improve in the present and how it moves forward
and develops towards in the future. I learned a lot, because this course equips
me with the necessary knowledge and understanding of foundations of
education. Foundations of Education employ a number of different disciplinary
perspectives to discern how schools equip young people to assume adult
positions in the society. I learned that I must look back in the origins of human, its
society and cultures for me to understand what my learners are capable of and
there limitat. As I was looking back in the past I was able to connect and learn
how primitive education works before to the modern education. As, the time
passes by legal basis was made as basis and guidelines of education and how it
works. Thus, I understand now where our legal basis today came from. As, I
continue my journey in my teaching career I’ve realized that as a teacher I must
have my own philosophy. Philosophy is the study of ideas, knowledge, the
nature and the meaning of life.it is important to have it as I shared my time daily
with my students. I try to promote the value of education. School life is my life,
and my daily mission is not a job but a calling. It is an opportunity to have a
positive impact on students and their futures. Pouring quality information into my
students in most cases is the only positive affirmation some of them may receive.
My ability to breathe positivity into my students’ spirit may be the only spark that
ignites the spirit and assist the students in moving forward within this world. It also
helped in forming my personal philosophies and beliefs that will help to guide
me during my decision making and actions in educational arena.
With all this information’s, I was able to understand how the foundation of
education started and moulds through anthropological, historical, legal,
philosophical, psychological and sociological foundation. And I learn how to
appreciate and understand the Anthropological, Historical and Legal influences
in education. I was enlightened on how education starts and how the people
are being taught before by knowing the different kind of education that are
being given with the other places. In the Primitive Education the domestic,
vocational, physical, moral, and military training are more on the content of
their learning. The Egyptian Education I learned that boys were sent to a formal
school at the age of eight. Schools were basically an attachment of religious
temples or government buildings. The priest and government officials acted as
teachers. There was no official teacher. Prince’s School exclusive only for sons of
Pharaohs and nobles but education were discriminatory. In Islam and Arabic
Education I system is hardwired on religion of Islam. Its content of education is
based on Shariah and Haddith. The Integrated curriculum provides an Islamic
perspective to all disciplines and subject matter fields. Their education gives
emphasis on memorization of the teachings of the Quran (preservation of the
Muslim culture). The Muslim people live up until this moment with their system.
The main goal of education is to actualize and perfect all dimensions of man.
While in Greek Education the good citizenship was the foremost aim of Athenian
education. There was a stress on individual excellence in wisdom, beauty, and
strength for public usefulness. Athens was the first states where there was
freedom to develop all human capacities through the Olympic Games were the
outstanding contributions of Athens. Until now, we still practice their way of
teaching as we promote the holistic development of our learners. The Roman
Education started the civilization as their methods of organization, management
and administration. They had constructed a carefully organized education
ladder which probably became the forerunner of many ladderized educational
system of today. Another was the Romans organized body of civil law which
became the basis of the legal systems in many countries including the
Philippines. The Romans believed that there should be empathy in the teacher-
pupil relations, and that teachers should be properly selected, even setting forth
the qualities that a teacher should have. The validity of these educational
principles is recognized in the present time. The Japanese have a standardized
and demanding curriculum, teaching approaches that encourages student
engagement, they give importance on school-home communication, long
schooling hours and additional schooling, teacher quality, carefully targeted
financial resources, and focus on equity. The Spanish have a great influence to
our education since they colonized us for how many years. The priest during this
time is also the teachers and only people who belong to upper society who are
able to have the privilege to go to the school. The Medieval, Renaissance,
American, Post liberation, and etc. also have some of the ways of teaching that
we are using and adapted as we teach our learners. We are moulded and
guided with the experiences of different time that passed down to us as our
foundation of what we have today to continue to develop and sustain the
quality of education that we give to our learners.
