Activity 5: HISTORICAL FOUNDATION OF EDUCATION
Directions: Please answer the following salient questions: (20 points)
1. State the relationship of society and schools.
ANS:
School is a unique institution designed to meet specific social needs. It gets points and goals from
society in this way, and its content and techniques are often dictated by the events that take place
in society for which the school has potential. Society, on the other hand, is complex and shifts
regularly. As a result, the character and quality of education provided in schools must change in
response to the needs and advances of society as a whole.
A school is not only a place for structured learning but also a place for social learning. It is a social
unit and an integral part of society's overall structure. In this vein, school education is aligned with
the social environment of young people. A good educational system is the product of a decent
society, and a good society is the result of a successful educational system. As a result, there
should be personal ties between the school and the community.
Schools and society are inextricably linked. Schools represent culture, and schools reflect society.
Collaboration with society modifies one's way of life while also changing determinism.
2. What is meant by socialization as a function of schools?
ANS:
When it comes to dissecting the school's socializing role, most methods revolve around handling
the school's characteristics as a transient gathering concerning aspects of the family and work-
related events. Rather than overseeing the school as a whole, attention is centered on different
levels of the school, and some basic problems associated with the advancement of socialization
must be explained from the perspective of the individuals who are socialized. Individuals are
prepared to take an interest in a community of people through socialization, which informs them
about the group's norms and assumptions. Teaching impulse control and creating a conscience,
training people to play certain social roles, and fostering common sources of meaning and
significance are the three main goals of socialization. While socialization is explicitly social, this
does not imply that some cultures are preferable or more regrettable than others.
3. In the Philippines, was education a privilege enjoyed by all Filipinos since the pre-colonial period??
Why or why not?
ANS:
Yes, indeed. However, the curriculum is informal and unstructured, and it is dispersed. The
economic situation during pre-colonial times, on the other hand, was a major contributor and factor
in the Philippines' educational system. They had to provide education that was plain and simple
because of their realistic and consistent mode of production. The native alphabet (Alibata) Baybayin
was used as the medium of instruction. The early Filipinos put a high priority on education. The
fathers taught their sons how to hunt and find other ways to make a living.
4. Life skills were taught to primitive society. Are these, life skills for primitive society the same life skills
for the 21st Century? Find out.
ANS:
A primitive skill is the first skill, intelligence, and experience that human beings used in their
everyday lives all over the world. Primitive skills are those that can only be performed with stone
tools. Survival skills such as hunting, fishing, and food gathering are among the life skills taught to
primitive societies. This primitive society's life skills are different from life skills in the twenty-first
century, as technology allows people to deal with change brought on by technology and other
applications or skills in life. Critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, information
literacy, media literacy, technology literacy, flexibility, leadership, talking it to the Net Initiative,
productivity, and social skills are all 21st-century skills. These abilities are important for academic,
professional, and personal success. To succeed in life, you must use all of your skills and
experiences.
