1. As an educator, how could you apply in the teaching process the concept you’ve learned from
the course particularly the philosophical foundation of education?

Education is both transmitting and improving individuals or a valued base activity, as an


educator widening horizon by analyzing, internalizing and proper In depth understanding of the
curriculum nor the subject will leads to active and quality teaching learning process inculcating
the pillars of education. Set attainable objectives and questions that will set the mind of the
learners into higher order skills and different methods that will engaged the learners interest to
motivate and inspire to learn.
With those philosophical education that focuses on the values, beliefs and attitudes determine
the direction of our education, particularly the aims, goals, contents, delivery and assessment of
education . to be a role model, and with a modal personality should also be included to
teaching.

2. How should Educational Psychology be conceptualize in the real teacher preparation


program being developed in the Philippine Educational system?

Growing awareness among educational psychologists of the need to reexamine their own
discipline. Such a reexamination needs to focus not only on the learning and teaching of
educational psychology but also on understanding how educational psychology as a course of
study influences the knowledge of candidates in teacher preparation. The content and methods
of educational psychology courses seem to be determined largely by the scope and sequence
of educational psychology textbooks, which seem to reflect a static conception of educational
psychology as a "foundation" in teacher education. The reading of recent research and theory
in cognition and instruction led to begin to question this unexamined metaphor.

3. Teachers General vs. Subject matter embedded knowledge of learning


 Whether they are subject specialists or generalists - need a wide range of different skills and
attitudes if they are to assist their students achieve high outcomes. These should include
relationships with students, subject matter knowledge and also an understanding of pedagogical
processes to develop the understanding that is required. Should a teacher fail to have any of
these, then it is likely that the learning in the classroom will not be as successful. However, it
would be foolish to isolate one of these skills to the exclusion of all others: teaching, like most
people-centred professions, requires a range of abilities and skills that the practitioner carefully
weaves together, in such a way as to provide the most meaningful experience possible.

4. Think about teachers knowledge of the principles of theories learning and development that
defined much of the domain knowledge in the Educational Psychology that is relevant to the
teachers.

Such knowledge is what comprises most of the texts currently used in educational
psychology courses for teachers. It includes what Shulman has referred to as knowledge of
learners and their characteristics--as well as aspects of what he has identified as pedagogical
content knowledge: The conceptual and procedural knowledge that students bring to the
learning of a topic, the misconceptions they may have developed, and the stages of
understanding that they are likely to pass through in moving from a state of having little
understanding of the topic to mastery of it. It also includes knowledge of techniques for
assessing students' understandings and diagnosing their misconceptions.
The above knowledge clearly concerns the psychology of learning even though it is
embedded within a specific subject or content area. Relevant knowledge also includes
teachers' content-specific cognitional knowledge or teachers' awareness of the mental
processes or cognitions by which learners acquire subject-specific knowledge through
classroom learning
