...PREFERENCE ON THE PROPOSED K+12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM “If you want to plan for a year, plant a tree; for a decade educate people.” It is an old maxim that talks about the importance of education where it plays a major role in the progress and welfare of a nation. Thus, every nation has a high regard in educating its people. According to Nelson Mandela, one of an African foremost statesman said that “education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” It is supported by one of the approaches of curriculum which is known as reconstructivism where the long term purpose of education is promoted. They are trained to be professionals in the future that in the end will reform the society. Everyone has the right to education as what the Universal Deceleration on Human Rights stated. It is supported by the 1987 Philippine Constitution Section 1 of Article XIV that announces that “the state shall protect and promote the right of all citizen to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.” This creates an avenue for the children to have quality education so that they will have a bright future and a better quality of life that most parents want to achieve and this will be beneficial and helpful to the nation itself. In the Philippine Journal (2006), Moises R. Tamandong cited different ingredients for quality education. He stated the following: 1.Curriculum which caters to the needs of the learners...

...I PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING I. Introduction Education is a basic human right and a significant factor in the development of children, communities, and countries. (Herz, B. and Sperling G.B., 2004) It is valued by a lot of Filipinos mainly because it is the start of economic improvement and it is the key to a brighter future. The Philippines was one of only three countries in the world and the only one in Asia that still had 10 years in basic education. This has always been seen as a disadvantage for the learners who are competing in an increasingly global job market and also reason of having a high number of unemployment in the country. The government asserts that with the implementation of K12 program, the problem of unemployment in the country will be resolved. In as much as employment in the Philippines is concerned, the K12 education also responds to the fact that most countries in the world already have the same plan in their educational institutions. With this, the standards of these countries go a notch higher than what the country has, thus, creating an expansion in the global competency. (DepEd, 2010) President Aquino aforementioned that we needed to add two more years of basic education in the country. Those who can afford to pay up to fourteen years of schooling would have a chance to get to best universities and have better jobs. He also stated that he wanted at least 12 years of basic education for public school children to give them an even...

...Introduction One of the greatest reforms in the Philippine Educational System today is the implementation of the K to 12 programs. The enhanced K to 12 Basic Education Program seeks to provide for a quality 12 – year basic education program that each Filipino is entitled to. The goal of the enhanced K to 12 Basic Education Program is to create a functional basic education system that will produce productive and responsible citizens equipped with the essential competencies and skills for both life – long learning and employment. The program will enhance the basic education system to full functionality to fulfil the basic learning needs of students. Topic: The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. DepEd proposed this program to enhance the learning capabilities of the students. Also awareness among parents, students and teachers about K12 education should be promoted for its implementation given that most of these people see it as a burden rather than a help to improvement for our educational system. It provides students, as well as the country, many privileges with more time for students to study and understand their lessons;...

...In its narrow sense, curriculum is viewed merely as a listing of subject to be taught in school. In a broader sense, it refers to the total learning experiences of individuals not only in schools but in society as well. * Curriculum comes from the Latin root, "currere" which means "to run", which later came to stand as the "course of study." * Curriculum is the sum total of all learning content, experiences, and resources that are purposely selected, organized and implemented by the school in pursuit of its peculiar mandate as a distinct institution of learning and human development. * Robert M. Hutchins views curriculum as “permanent studies” where the rule of grammar, reading, rhetoric and logic and mathematics for basic education are emphasized. * Caswell and Campbell viewed curriculum as “all experiences children have under the guidance of teachers”. This definition is shared by Smith, Stanley and Shores when they defined “curriculum as a sequence of potential experiences set up in the schools for the purpose of disciplining children and youth in group ways of thinking and acting” * Marsh and Willis on the other hand view curriculum as all the “experiences in the classroom which are planned and enacted by the teacher, and also learned by the students. 2.

...an investment of time, effort and resources of which they don’t have. Education has been celebrated as the pathway to become successful and move forward, because it is available to everyone regardless of who they are. Yet, education may still not be a viable way of moving up, because of the poor quality of schools in low-income neighborhoods. Consequently, many argue that in order to tackle educational inequality we must address family SES (socioeconomic status), because it’s the most significant factor in educational attainment. However, I posit that the more effective approach to solving this issue is to pursue policies directed towards to...

...Chapter I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Every successful concept and project in life requires a proper framework and planning. This relates to all processes, including education. Whenever we embark on any new plan or procedure, we need to make sure that we have all the plans drawn up. What is on offer, what are the resources that we have, what are the steps, which we need to take and what are the goals that we need to achieve are some elements that need to be looked upon. A similar set of constraints when applied to education in schools and colleges gives birth to curriculum. A curriculum is a set of courses, including their content, offered at a school or university. The curriculum often contains a detailed list of subjects and the elements of teaching them. John Franklin Bobbitt’s “The Curriculum” published in 1918 mentions curriculum as an idea that has its roots in the Latin word ‘race-course’. He also explained “The Curriculum” as the course of deeds and experiences through which children grow up into adults and get going for success in the society. A curriculum is more than putting together a set of academically required subjects. It must consider all aspects of the student life, the learning needs of students, the time available for the sessions and the teachers’ idea, capability and workload. At high school levels, teenagers can take their own liberty in choosing their path. Though complete autonomy does not rest with a student, a level of choice...

...kindergarten to grade 12 (K12) market in India accounts for a substantial share of the total education market. This space has seen large scale public and private participation. The government has undertaken various initiatives towards developing the market. The large prospective student population is fuelling growth in this sector. The education sector provides one of the few bright spots even in a slowing economy. Private consumption spends on education and related products and services, is estimated at approximately US$50 billion today. Driven by strong demographic and economic fundamentals, it is expected to grow at about 14% per annum over the next 5-7 years. Within the education sector, the K-12 segment, comprising formal ‘school’ education from kindergarten to higher secondary, is the largest. Private consumption spend on K-12 education is estimated at about US$20 billion at present, and annual government spend accounts for a further US$25-27 billion. Poor overall facilities offered by the government owned segment within K-12 results in the fact that less than half of those who enter the school system complete their schooling; it also accounts for the fact that nearly 40% of all students flock to the approximately 75,000 schools that are privately operated. The fact that an estimated 90 million students attend privately owned schools is an indicator of the willingness of Indian households, of almost all economic strata, to pay for children’s education. India already has...

...(McDoniel, 2009). Keeping these factors in mind and looking at my school, I would have to agree that these are important elements that influence the difficulties we face. The school is located in a rural area but is adjacent to a large city; in fact it is our state capital. Although the school is located in a rural area the students that attend our school are not necessarily students that live around the area. We have a mixed population. All students are bussed or driven to school. We do not have what is considered a neighborhood school. We get a population from nearby rural areas and from close by outer city population or urban. The school promotes attendance and provides incentives for students that have perfect attendance. We have a system that each teacher is required to call parents when a student is absent. If a student is absent more than two days in a row the teachers are required to report it to the office and administration will arrange for a home visit. Even though the students do not live close to the school, we get a reasonable amount of parent volunteers. Since school started the parent...

...Framework for 21st Century Learning The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has developed a vision for student success in the new global economy. 21st Century Student Outcomes and Support Systems 21ST CENTURY STUDENT OUTCOMES To help practitioners integrate skills into the teaching of core academic subjects, the Partnership has developed a unified, collective vision for learning known as the Framework for 21st Century Learning. This Framework describes the skills, knowledge and expertise students must master to succeed in work and life; it is a blend of content knowledge, specific skills, expertise and literacies. Every 21st century skills implementation requires the development of core academic subject knowledge and understanding among all students. Those who can think critically and communicate effectively must build on a base of core academic subject knowledge. Within the context of core knowledge instruction, students must also learn the essential skills for success in today’s world, such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration. When a school or district builds on this foundation, combining the entire Framework with the necessary support systems—standards, assessments, curriculum and instruction, professional development and learning environments—students are more engaged in the learning process and graduate better prepared to thrive in today’s global economy.

...A Brief History of Multicultural Education by Paul C. Gorski, Hamline University and EdChange As conceptualizations of multicultural education evolve and diversify, it is important to revisit its historical foundation -- the roots from which it sprang. What did the earliest forms of multicultural education look like and what social conditions gave rise to them? What educational traditions and philosophies provided the framework for the development of multicultural education? How has multicultural education changed since its earliest conceptualization? The answers to these questions provide an important contextual grounding for understanding the various models of multicultural education evolving today. The historical roots of multicultural education lie in the civil rights movements of various historically oppressed groups. Many trace the history of multicultural education back to the social action of African Americans and other people of color who challenged discriminatory practices in public institutions during the civil rights struggles of the 1960s (Banks, 1989; Davidman & Davidman, 1997). Among those institutions specifically targeted were educational institutions, which were among the most oppressive and hostile to the ideals of racial equality. Activists, community leaders, and parents called for curricular reform and insisted on a reexamination of hiring practices. Both, they demanded, should be more consistent with the racial diversity in the country...

...14 Mar 2014 Informations Systems in Education Factors Affecting the Effectiveness of Information Systems MAE 510 Jeff Benenhaley I remember as a kid one of my best Christmas’s was the year I got my first computer. It was much different that you may be thinking. Today, when we think of a computer, we either imagine a laptop or a desktop computer. If we are really technology savvy and have the money, the computer could come in the form as an IPad or NOOK. However, this was not the case back in the early 80’s. The computer I am referring to was merely a large keyboard that attached to a regular T.V. It didn’t play games, get on the world-wide-web or even have email. All I could do was type in a very large list of code that was already predetermined in order to see what that code would make. Usually it was some sort of design that would flash across the screen but could not be saved onto a hard drive. This same year I received my first Atari. This was the best gift ever, finally I had a game that didn’t consist of a piece of cardboard, a stack of cards and required you to roll a dice to get from point A to point B before your opponent. Now, if we fast forward about 30-years we find that when we use the term computer or gaming system, we think of something entirely different than what I knew from the early 80’s. Today, I have three computers in my house and my son has two gaming systems. All of my computers are top of the line and can do just about anything....
