ANALYZE
1. Based on your findings and observations in Activity 16.1 and Activity
16.2, which philosophies of education are dominant in Philippine basic
schools? Why do you say so?
Based from my observation. The philosophy that is dominant in
Philippine education is the progressivism. Because today in the
Philippines learners in school mostly learn by doing. teachers merely act
a facilitator of learning, the students need and interest is considered. In
short we are in child-centered classroom.
2. If there is one philosophy that schools and teachers should give

My philosophy in teaching is the same with Progressivist.
