LESSON !
1.What is a teacher?
In general, instructors' roles involve assisting students in learning by conveying knowledge to them and
creating an environment that fosters learning. However, the functions that instructors play are varied and vary
from civilization to society and from one educational level to another. These roles are played in both the
community and the school, respectively.
2.Explain Teaching as a Profession.
Teachers possess specialized knowledge and abilities that they have acquired through formal training
and work experience. Teachers give children individualized, compassionate care by identifying their needs, and
by organizing, picking, and implementing teaching strategies and evaluation techniques that support learning.
3. Requirements of Teaching as a Profession.
A four-year bachelor's degree is the minimum requirement for teaching in the Philippines. Secondary
school teachers must hold a bachelor's degree in secondary education, while elementary school teachers must
possess a bachelor's degree in elementary education. The Commission for Higher Education sets the curriculum
for both of these programs, which is adapted to the student's educational background and includes of general
education courses, education-related courses, subject specializations, and practical teaching. For people who
already hold a bachelor's degree in another discipline, finishing a post-graduate study in education will also
qualify them to work as teachers. The completion of these post-graduate programs, which range in length from
one semester to one year, results in the awarding of a certificate known most frequently as the Certificate of
Professional Education.

1. Today in 40-50 words explain: Professionalism is the Hallmark of a Professional Teacher.
A professional teacher needs to be self-assured without being arrogant. While managing the
class, the teacher must also give each student a chance to contribute. If anything doesn't go according to
plan, they must be flexible enough to adjust the direction of the lesson. Additionally, teachers need to
show there on time, maintain a neat classroom, and dress accordingly.
2. Review the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) then perform the Application no.2- ,
Let's apply what you learned on p.32 of the Textbook: The Teaching Profession by Purita Bilbao, Brenda
Corpuz, Avelina Llagas & Gloria Salandanan.
3. Write your reflection on how you can acquire the professional standards.
By observing the development of my students, for me. The educator is knowledgeable of how
children develop and learn. Teachers use this knowledge to each student taking into account their
cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical capacities since they are aware that pupils' skills
differ. Teachers acknowledge these disparities among their students and use them to assist all students
reach their full potential by showcasing and promoting each student's particular strengths. By
collaborating with families, coworkers, and other professionals to gain feedback and assistance,
teachers actively manage the growth of their children. different learning styles. The instructor considers
the socioeconomic situation, sociocultural background, and unique characteristics of each of his or her
students while creating inclusive learning programs. Teachers make use of this information to change
the subject matter and method of instruction in their lesson plans in order to support and promote
diversity, particularly for youngsters with special needs. Teachers recognize the unique characteristics of
each student, believe that every student is capable of great success, instill in them a sense of worth, and
assist them in realizing their full potential.

2. What is meant by vocation?
 Vocation comes from the latin word “vocare” which means to call. A vocation is a required job
that you receive compensation for. The work you accomplished has an equivalent worth. It is a
vocation if you work because you are needed for the service.
3. What is meant by mission?
 The word mission comes from the latin word “misio” means “to send”. You are called to be a
teacher and you are sent into the world to accomplish a mission, to teach. Teaching is also a
mission, means it is the task entrusted to you in the word. If it is your assigned task then
naturally you’ve got to prepare yourself for it. A mission is a service performed out of love and
PROF EDUC 3
THE TEACHING PROFESSION
passion. You don't need praise, and even though you don't get enough money, you still like your
job. Your goal is to complete it, and you are fully dedicated to doing so.
4. Are these two (vocation & mission) related?
 Yes, vocation is only for those who are genuinely committed to both their work and helping
others. You have been given the responsibility of teaching as your mission in this planet.
5. Is teaching a job or a mission? What is the difference.
 Teaching is both a job and a mission. It is a job if you are a teacher since you get compensated
for your services and feel it is your duty to educate kids. But if you continue to teach out of love,
compassion, and faithfulness to meet the needs of the students even if you don't get paid or
recognized, that is mission.

Things to do today:
1. In 50 words explain, does the teaching profession fulfill all the elements of a profession?
Yes, because the teaching profession satisfies every requirement for a career. Because without a
teacher, nobody would be able to impart the knowledge we need to survive. We lack a mentor who can
lead us in the same manner as they do. They must impart to us some lessons that no one else can.
Without teachers, we wouldn't have engineers, nurses, doctors, lawyers, or any of the other professions
we currently have. All of those folks were created. They develop a professional individual. Because
teachers have the heart to devote all of their time and energy to providing their pupils with what they
need, the teaching profession satisfies all of the requirements for a profession. This is in addition to the
fact that teachers are professionals.
2. Is professionalization synonymous to professionalism? Why?
No, since professionalization means engaging in a task required of a profession in order to be
referred to as a true professional. It refers to the professionalization of a person who aspires to success
and professionalism. You're professionalizing because you want to learn everything there is to know
about the career you want, despite the fact that professionalism is something that every professional
should possess. People expected that from those in those professions who had respectable jobs. It is just
one of several prerequisites for a career in teaching.
3.Read research related to teaching as a profession & fill out the matrix below:
Problems
Research Methodology
Teachers need to stop seeing themselves as
dispenser of knowledge and judges of skills. The
teaching profession is really about being a problem
solver. How do I get my student to successfully
demonstrate the overall expectation of the
curriculum How do I help those that are struggling?
How do I engage students to attend to try, to be
motivated and to learn deeply; The classroom is full
of problems for those willing to engage in the search
for the answers.
Education is a vast discipline and teacher training is
a vital part of it. The responsibilities of the
educationist and educators are focused on the task
of providing better training to the future teachers
for their better learning and proper development.
Needless to say, that this responsibility can only be
exercised, if the trainers are equipped with the
required knowledge of the subject concerned.
