2. What is your personal philosophy of education? Why or what is your reason for having

such philosophy?

ANSWER:

My personal philosophy is came from The Socratic statement, "the unexamined life is not

worth living," is a famous philosophical assertion attributed to the ancient Greek

reflection, introspection, and critical thinking in living a meaningful and fulfilling life.

My understanding of this statement is most people are comfortable dealing with

their routine work and afraid or devoid of getting out of their boxes because of the idea of

failing. If we live our lives the way that we think is easy, the way that we think should be,

or the way that we think safe from prejudice and that we never dared to discover what could

go beyond our limits, it is not worth it.

To say, it is being mediocre all the time. You never experienced how to take risks

nor to put something at stake to come across more potential and to embrace more

opportunities. It could be the opposite - you fail, you begin again, you disappoint, you are

rejected and the list goes on. But you’ll never know because you didn’t try. No one knows

the results unless you bravely take the risk.

It is important to step outside your comfort zone, to try things you’ve never done

before, to embrace what is scary and negative, and to give in all efforts without the

assurance of success. Those make life worth living.

This statement gives me additional inspiration to finish my Master’s Degree

Program despite my weakness in speaking and writing in English fluently. But still, I’m

trying my best to overcome that weakness by practicing and seeking help from my closest

friends.

Lastly, this statement always reminds us never to lose hope as long as we exist in

this challenging world; we must not give up and “try and try until we SUCCEED”
3. Why is legal foundation of education relevant to school management?

ANSWER:

It is very important that teachers are aware of the laws and legal bases of education because

these laws protect us and guide us. Understanding these laws help us develop our

professionalism, character, personality and sense of responsibility. They serve as a

framework to guide us exercise our rights, the rights of our students and the limits of our

authority and influence. It would be difficult to steer learning toward objectives but without

a guide.

Ignorance of the law excuses no one. It is not excusable though, for teachers to be

ignorant of the law. The country expects us to be an upholder of its law, regulations or

codes of practice. Therefore, as teachers, we have to be intentional in learning these laws

that are relevant to our profession.

4. Who are the proponents of transformational philosophy? ANSWER:

PROPONENTS: STATEMENT

Karl Marx His analysis of capitalism's inherent

contradictions and his call for

revolutionary change to achieve a

classless society are highly

influential in transformational

thinking.
 Max Horkheimer, Theodor W. Adorno, Philosophers like critiqued modern

and Herbert Marcuse society's oppressive structures and

explored the role of culture and

ideology in maintaining them.

Antonio Gramsci: He focused on the role of hegemony and

cultural power in maintaining social

control, emphasizing the need for a

"counter-hegemony" to challenge the status

quo.

Everyone learns differently, and understanding the different ways that humans learn is

crucial to educational success. Teachers and students alike can greatly benefit from

understanding how learning works for different students. By understanding how learning

happens, educators can maximize their efforts and create classrooms where learners can

thrive.

Present the transformational kind of education what competencies skills and values

learned?

Critical Thinking: Learners develop the ability to analyze information, question

assumptions, identify biases, and evaluate different perspectives. They become skilled at
discerning truth from falsehood, separating fact from opinion, and forming well-reasoned

conclusions.

- Problem-Solving: Transformational education equips learners to tackle complex

problems, not just by finding solutions, but by understanding the root causes and

considering ethical implications. They develop a systems-thinking approach, recognizing

the interconnectedness of issues.

- Communication and Collaboration: Learners become effective communicators, able to

articulate their ideas clearly and persuasively. They learn to collaborate effectively with

diverse individuals, building consensus and working towards shared goals.

- Self-Reflection and Personal Growth: Transformational education encourages learners

to examine their own beliefs, values, and biases. They develop self-awareness and the

ability to reflect on their experiences, leading to personal growth and transformation.
