THE IMPORTANCE OF VALUE FORMATION
FOR CHILDREN
RUBI ROSE G. DUMAYAS Teacher III
Guimba West Central School
Guimba West District, Nueva Ecija
Instilling good moral values in the growing period of a child is critical, because it
is the foundation of a sound mental and educational development that shapes his/her
well-being.
At home and more especially in school, it should be part of a child’s daily
existence.
Education is a methodical effort towards learning basic facts about humanity. And
the core idea behind value education is to cultivate essential values in the students
so that the civilization that teaches us to manage complexities can be sustained and
further developed.
Teaching value education begins at home and it is continued in schools.
Everyone accepts certain things in his/her life through various mediums like society
or government. Good values are held as treasures in the heart and they must be kept
forever.
Value education is important to help everyone in improving the value system that
he/she holds and put them to use. Once, we understand our values in life, we can
examine and control the various choices we make in our lives. It’s our duty to uphold
the various types of values in life such as cultural values, universal values, personal
values and social values.
Thus, value education is always essential to shape a student’s life and to give him
an opportunity of performing himself on the global stage. The need for value education
among the parents, children, teachers etc, is constantly increasing as we continue to
witness increasing violent activities, behavioral disorder and lack of unity in society.
Accordingly, the family system in India has a long tradition of imparting value
education right from the ancient practice of the “gurukul” system. But with modern
developments and a fast changing role of the parents, it has not been very easy for the
parents to impart relevant values in their wards.
Therefore many institutions today conduct various value education programs
that meet the rising needs of modern society, the code of conduct and values. These
activities concentrate on the development of the children, young adults, etc. focusing
on areas like happiness, humility, cooperation, honesty, simplicity, love, unity, peace
etc.
In the earlier days, kids are very aware of their responsibilities because good
moral values are taught very and strictly and kids are bound to follow without
hesitation. But nowadays, the real meaning of the words pale in comparison as today’s
kids have become westernized, the foreign cultures had greatly influenced our youth.
People in other countries greatly differ in terms of moral values, compared to
most Filipinos, because western culture, like the American’s way of life is highly
liberalized. Filipino traditions and culture more than ever is unique in many ways,
even in this computer age.
Value formation is very critical in the lives of our children and it is a must. The
Filipino values and even traditions that have been imparted to us from generations
need to be restored - because they are purely Filipino.
Bongbong endorses Antonino as
Ecija gov bet
JAEN, Nueva Ecija –
He says the elections are
still too far away to talk
about politics.
But Sen. Ferdinand
Marcos Jr., gave himself
away, endorsing a former congressman as his
gubernatorial candidate
in the 2016 elections.
In a brief exchange
with the media during
an out-of-town sortie
here Saturday, Marcos
referred to former threeterm Rep. Rodolfo Antonino as “governor”
amid reports that the
latter, father of fourth
district Rep. Magnolia
Antonino, is seeking the
governorship.
Antonino has not officially declared his gubernatorial bid although
reports going around
said his running mate is
outgoing three-term second district Rep. Joseph
Gilbert Violago.
Antonino comes from
a family of politicians.
His father Gaudencio
was sitting senator and
was running for reelection when he died in a
helicopter accident in
1969, a day before the
elections. Gaudencio’s
wife Magnolia ran as a
substitute candidate and
won.
One of the former congressman’s brother Adelbert was twice elected
representative of South
Cotabato and twice
mayor of General Santos City while Adelbert’s
wife Lualhati was also
once congresswoman.
Antonino’s niece is
Darlene Antonino, a
former three-term representative who was best
remembered for defeating boxing icon Manny
Pacquiao in their congressional duel in South
Cotabato in his first run
at local politics.
Antonino is hoping
to dislodge the camp
of outgoing three-term
Gov. Aurelio Umali from
the Capitol where the
latter has ruled since unseating the Josons from
their 48-year reign. He
was best remembered for
ending the decades-old
reign of the Villareals in
the fourth district.
Antonino is not only
counting on votes from
his southern Nueva Ecija
bailiwick but also from
the support of the Josons
and Cabanatuan Mayor
Julius Cesar Vergara who
is feuding with Umali,
his former political ally.
Umali’s wife, third district Rep. Czarina Umali,
is already a declared gubernatorial bet.
Marcos came here on
the invitation of the elder
Antonino who showed
up with some of his mayoral allies, namely San
Antonio Mayor Antonino Lustre, Cabiao Mayor
Gloria Crespo-Congco
and Jaen Mayor Santiago
Austria.
When Marcos posed
for a photo-ops with
newsmen, Antonino volunteered to take the shot
himself, prompting the
senator to tell the scribes,
“See, you have a congressman for your photographer. And one who
will become governor,”
he said.
Antonino took the
compliment with a smile.
Earlier, Marcos, when
asked about his political
plans, declined to make
any specific response.
He said he is definitely
not retiring in 2016 and
will be a candidate for
certain positions. “There is too much to
do. There’s little time to
speak about politics. It’s
not yet part of the discussions,” he said. – Manny

Bongbong tells Pinoys ; don’t be
duped by ‘Marcos scams’
JAEN, Nueva Ecija
– The son and namesake
of late former President
Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
called on Filipinos not
to be deceived by people
claiming to be caretakers
of the socalled Marcoses’
wealth, promising to
give huge amounts and
money and vast tracts
of land from the family
fortune, dismissing their
gimmicks as scams.
“These are all scams
and don’t fall for it,” said
Sen. Ferdinand Marcos
Jr. at a press conference
in Barangay Langla here
recently.
The younger Marcos
was referring to the
reported operations of
groups of people who
claimed to be caretakers
of Marcos assets worth
billions of pesos. He
said the money racket
has been practically
operating
in
many
provinces in the country,
claiming to have ties
with the Marcoses.
“This has become
all too-prevalent and
we warn you, don’t let
yourself be fooled by
these people,” he said.
Marcos
issued
the
warning
after
newsmen brought to his
attention the activities
of syndicates, including
two
suspects
who
claimed to be caretakers
of the Marcos assets.
Only recently, he
said, they were able to
apprehend
someone
posing as their relative
who was engaged in
fund-raising using the
Marcoses’ name.
Early this year,
two suspects were also
charged for milking
money from individuals.
The suspects, identified
as Felicisima Cantos
and Emmanuel Destura
demanded
money
from 81 individuals
supposedly to have their
share of the Marcos
wealth.
The National Bureau
of Investigation said
that in January 2012,
Destura and Cantos
introduced themselves
to
complainants
as
caretakers of the Marcos
assets and talked them
into investing in their
company called Bullion
Buyers Limited with
office address in China.
The
two
also
persuaded
them
to
recruit more members
nationwide
so
that
accordingly, by numbers,
they have their strength as
claimants of the Marcos’
wealth and could have
more company shares.
After
investing
P2,000 each, the suspects
promised the victims a
profit of P5 million to $5
million. But the suspects
failed to deliver the
promise, prompting the
victims to seek NBI help.
In Southern Leyte,
a massive tree planting
project operating under
the acronym FIRM
for “Friends of Imelda
Romualdez
Marcos”
has
been
attracting
thousands of members
in the province with
the promise they would
share the gold bullions
of the former First Lady
which is alleged stashed
away in 177 foreign
banks.
Under the scheme all
that was needed to join
FIRM was to buy and
plant a mahogany tree,
build a red fence around
it, pay a P300 registration
fee (which entitles the
member to a red T-shirt)
and the applicant would
automatically
qualify
for a share of Imelda’s
wealth
at
between
P700,000 to P1 million
per member.
According
to
Southern Leyte State
University President Dr.
Gloria Markines Reyes,
she learned about the
project from BontocVice
Mayor Pedro Fustanes
who told her that some of
his supporters had asked
him if they could join
FIRM since it was easy
money.
Fustanes said he
advised them not to since
it had all the makings of
a scam but that some
had already planted the
trees and had paid the
membership fee.
One of the victims
said many of his friends
had even borrowed
money to join FIRM
because they believed
the organization was
legitimate and qualified
them for riches beyond
their
imagination.

with 27,200 more to

according to AFP Chief

He said they were
also promised free
education, employment

FIRM

organized in 2000,
formerly composed of
Marcos loyalists. Its
critics claim its goal
was to keep the groups
supporting the former
president intact and to
serve as the nationwide
organization for the
get 6,443 units.
The funds for the
weapons were sourced
from the AFP Capability
Upgrade Program of
2012. The US-based
Remington
Outdoor
Company won the public
bidding in October last
year.
“This
weapons
program will contribute
significantly
to
the
transformation of the
AFP into a multi-mission
oriented force capable
of confronting both
internal and external
threats,” Catapang said.
The heavy-barreled,
full automatic, wearresistant
rifles
will
replace the old, worn-out
M16A2 assault rifles.
C o m p a r a t i v e l y,
the M4 Carbine rifle is
lighter, shorter, more
cost-efficient and can
reach a target up to 600
meters. In contrast, the
M16-A1 rifle’s maximum
ceffective range is only
up to 460 meters.
Catapang said they
chose to give these new
rifles to field soldiers
because they are the
front liners and “so we
must assure that they are
fully equipped in every
encounter.”
He stressed that
soldiers should live with
the paradigm “kawal
disiplinado,
bawal
abusado dapat asintado
(disciplined soldier, no
to abusiveness and must

and that they used a
“musikang bumbong” in
assaulting the Spanish
garrison in the afternoon
of September 2,1896.
In 2011, Secretary
Herminio
Coloma
of
the
Presidential
Communications
and
Operations
Office
(PCOO) said the NHCP,
led by its executive
director
Ludovico
Badoy should conduct
a thorough research
on the historic event
and make facts and
figures “accurate” and
“realistic” to give justice
to its heroes.
This
after
local
historian Jose Hipolito
said one of these errors
include accounts that up
to 3,000 revolutionaries
from this town marched
towards San Isidro with
the use of a “musikang
bumbong” where they
assaulted the Spanish
garrison in the afternoon
of September 2,1896.
“That is fatally wrong.
The fact is only 753
revolutionaries
laid
siege in San Isidro and
they marched there
accompanied not by
“musikang bumbong”
but by a brass band,”
Hipolito said.
He said that the 3,000
supposed revolutionaries
were too bloated a
number
and
would
clearly constitute an
“overkill” on the part of
Llanera’s group since
they were up against only
100 Spanish soldiers.
Hipolito said he knew
of no one who conducted
a realistic and in-depth
research
about
the
revolution and its heroes.
“I was the only one who
went to the National
Archives to conduct my
own research,” he said.
Aside from the glaring
historical inaccuracies,
Mayor Gloria CrespoCongco also questioned
that the center of
celebrations for the
fom page 1
annual event is often
held in the provincial
capital Palayan City
and not in this town.
She said she had
nothing against holding
festivities in other towns
to commemorate the
event for Novo Ecijanos
to appreciate history
but said Cabiao’s role
should be given utmost
importance.
The late 69-year-old
head of the marching
band that stormed the
Spanish garrison in
San Isidro also said
Cabiao
should
be
given recognition as
the rightful venue for
anniversary rites.
Raul Nogoy, Banda,
’96 leader said San Isidro
(then known as Factoria)
can not be considered
as the center of the
celebrations
neither
because this was where
the Spaniards held fort.
The
provincial
government, led by Gov.
Aurelio Umali, Vice
Gov. Jose Gay Padiernos
and third district Rep.
Czarina Umali, has held
various activities to
usher Nueva Ecija Day
consisting of a harana,
health caravan, quiz bee,
sikad Novo Ecijano,
muscle showdown, agriaqua ctrade fair, hair
and make-up Olympics,
aerobics
competition,
Binibining
Nueva
Ecija pageant, boxing
competitions, the search
for the outstanding young
Novo Ecijanos
and
the 1st governor’s cup
shooting competitions.
Today’s
provincial
government-led activity
will be held at the old
provincial
capitol,
according to provincial
administrator
Al
Abesamis.
When asked for his
reaction regarding the
issue over the venue,
Abesamis did not return
text messages.
Local officials in
Cabiao said it is only
fitting that organizers
consider the town as the
center of celebrations
because General Llanera
was from Barangay San
Roque here.
The
event
marks
the day when Llanera
and Gen. Pantaleon
Valmonte led homegrown revolutionaries,
armed only with 100
guns, bolos and pointed
sticks in assaulting the
Spanish garrison in San
Isidro on September
2,1896, two days after
the “Unang Sigaw ng
Balintawak.”
Waving black and red
flag, the revolutionaries
caught the Spanish
guardia civil by surprise.
For its role in the
revolution, the province
earned its place in the
Philippine flag as one of
the eight rays of the sun,
each ray representing the
province that revolted

Salonga and Cadano

from the Army’s 7th Infantry

were serving an arrest
warrant to suspected New
People’s Army commander
Ely Taray, also known as Ka
Emong.
The military said the two
were platoon guides of the
NPA unit operating in Nueva
Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya and
Pangasinan provinces. But
they identified themselves to
arresting teams as organizers
of the youth groups Kabataan
and Anakbayan.

They obtained degrees in

Cecil Ruiz, chair of
the human rights watchdog
Karapatan in Central Luzon,
said the arrest warrant was
for Taray, not for Cadana and
Salonga which is a blatant
violation of the two former UP
students’ human rights.
Ruiz said the two were
forced by their captors to
admit they were NPA rebels
during interrogation, a claim
which the military and police
denied.

ROLES OF TEACHERS IN SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
MELODY C. SINDAC P.h.D. Head Teacher Ill
Juan L. Bautista Elementary School
Lagare, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija
The role of teachers in the primary education of the youth is paramount because
they are role models emulated and as such they influence greatly the academic
development of their wards. In the community, they represent their school as partners
of local leaders and residents in community development and related matters.
Also, teachers’ responsibility does not focus alone in their pupils but they also
share some responsibility with other school officials to attain the noble objectives
of the learning institution they represent. They share a common goal and that is the
promotion and advancement of the educational and spiritual well-being of every
pupils/students in their respective schools.
Aside from rethinking their primary responsibility as builders of student learning,
teachers are also taking on other roles in schools and in their profession. They are
working with colleagues, family members, politicians, academics, community
members, employers, and others to set clear and obtainable standards for the
knowledge, skills, and values we should expect Filipino children to acquire.
Teachers are participating in day-to-day decision making in schools, working
side-by-side to set priorities, and dealing with organizational problems that affect their
students’ learning. When needed, they attend to consultative meetings with community
leaders and other organizations to develop a partnership that
would result into a unified action as the need arises.
Many teachers also spend time researching various questions of educational
effectiveness that expand the understanding of the dynamics of learning. And more
teachers are spending time mentoring new members of their profession, making sure
that education school graduates are truly ready for the complex challenges of today’s
classrooms.
Redefining the role of teachers inside and outside the classroom can result in
significantly better schools and better-educated students. But though the roots of such
improvement are taking hold in today’s schools, they need continued nurturing to
grow and truly transform the Philippine’s learning landscape.
The rest of us -- politicians and parents, superintendents and school board
members, employers and education school faculty -- must also be willing to rethink
our roles in education to give teachers the support, freedom, and trust they need to do
the essential job of educating our children.
Foremost, teachers’ professional development should come hand in hand with
the pupils based on an old idiom that says “If the teacher has not taught, the pupil
has not learned.” Highly trained educators gives quality education, it is known fact.
The national government, particularly the Department of Education (DepEd), continue
to provide basic and continuing education to public school teachers in the hope of
making quality education affordable down to the lowest group of the society.
As provided for and guaranteed by our Constitution, every Filipino child is
entitled to quality education, a right that the DepEd tries hard to uphold by giving the
best training to our public school teachers.

Mga bakas ng kahoy umano ang naging dahilan kaya natunton ang nasabing

Sinasabing karamihan sa mga kahoy na nahuhuli ng surveillance team ay

El Niño...
from page 1
Nueva Ecija Gov.
Aurelio Umali told farmers
during a gathering in this
town that only 44,000
hectares out of the more
than 100,000 hectares
agricultural lands in the
province, Pampanga and
Bulacan would be able to
receive irrigation water
due to El Niño whose
effects are likely to be felt
in the last quarter of the
year.
He said this projection
was arrived at following
his dialogue with officials
of the Upper Pampanga
River Integrated Irrigation
Systems, the operator of
the Pantabangan Dam.
“This is a big blow to
farmers so we have to
prepare them for this
worse-case scenario,” he
said.
Umali
said
the
provincial
government
is pushing through with
its water summit next
week to prepare Nueva
Ecija against the adverse
effects of the dreaded
El Niño phenomenon on
food production and water
supply in the country’s rice
granary.
He
said
if
not
addressed, this will impact
on food security targets
on a nationwide scale.
The summit, originally
scheduled last July 30, was
deferred as the provincial
government
convened
various agencies towards
formulating an action plan
against El Niño.
Umali said he has
utilized his intelligence
funds for the de-silting
of the Peñaranda River to
ensure smooth delivery
of irrigation water while
the province braces for El
Niño.
In late July, the
Philippine
Atmospheric,
Geophysical
and
Astronomical
Services
Administration
advised
Filipinos to prepare for
below normal rainfall in
the last quarter of the year,
as scientists are predicting
the development of a
“weak to moderate” El
Niño during the period.
Pagasa administrator
Vicente
Malano
said
below normal rainfall is
SEPTEMBER 1-7, 2014
likely in most areas of
Luzon and the Visayas
while near normal rainfall
conditions are expected
over Cagayan, Camarines
Norte, Albay, Eastern
and Central Visayas and
most areas of Mindanao
in the months of October,
November and December.
The last time El Niño
hit the country was in
2009 and experts said
the phenomenon happens
every four to five years.
Umali said the province
will have to be prepared
for El Niño particularly
since water elevation in
the Pantabangan Dam
continues to drop.
In the last week of
July, water level at the
dam was at 179.04 meters
above sea level (masl) and
according to the National
Irrigation Administration,
it would take only 22 days
of zero rainfall for the
water level to shrink to its
critical level of 171 masl,
which happened nearly
two decades ago.
The water level rose
above 180 masl only
because the provincial
government
initiated
cloud-seeding operations
in partnership with First
Gen. Corp. and other
private entities.
Yesterday, water level
at the dam was at 186.2
masl, according to UPRIIS
operations
manager
Reynaldo Puno.
The water summit will
try to identify the areas
in the province which will
potentially be hit hard by
the prolonged dry spell
and mitigate its impact on
local farmers. It will also
come out with projection
on the extent of damage.
Umali said farmers
will be included in the
consultations
because
they are the ones who will
bear the brunt of El Niño.
The
provincial
government
is
also
looking at tapping other
alternative sources of
irrigation water to lessen
the province’s dependence
on the Pantabangan Dam.
With the dam not fully
operational, the utilization
of the Peñaranda River,
the Tayabo Dam and other
upstream water sources
to augment supply is also
being explored. – Manny

bubusisiin at titingnang
mabuti kung ano ang ugat
at kung paano lilipulin ang
masamang bisyong ito.
Ang

Hindi lang ito problema
ng

na
tumutulong sa
ating
kapulisan sa pagsugpo ng
krimeng ito. Maraming
nagaganap na karumaldumal na krimen na hindi
kayang sikmurain, na ang
tanging dahilan kayat
nagagawa ito ay dahil
sila’y lulong sa masamang
bisyo, ang droga. Ang
problemang ito ay hindi
problema ng iisa lang,

stand firm and show to
the whole world that we
Novo Ecijanos are proud
to be Novo Ecijanos.
We always stand by the

Lalaban

Lalaban tayo sa masamang
bisyong ito. Sasama tayo
at tatayuan ang laban
sapagkat hinahamon hindi
lamang kinabukasan ng
bawat bata. Hinahamon
pati angkapayapaan ng
ating lalawigan.
Sa datos sa Nueva
Ecija provincial jail,
mahigit sa 70% ang
nakakulong dahil sa
droga. If the provincial
l jail has more than 70%
of the inmates today, for
pushing or using illegal
drugs, marahil ito po ang
mukha
na nagyayari
hindi lang sa Nueva Ecija,
marahil sa buong bansa.

Marcos starts roaming, but no plans yet
BALANGA CITY,
Bataan- Senator Ferdinand
Bongbong
Marcos, perceived by
many as presidential
hopeful, has started
roaming around the
country but said he has
no plans yet for 2016.
This was the statement of Senator Bongbong Marcos when
asked by local media
in Balanga City if he
is gunning for either
presidency or vice
presidency in 2016 national election.
But the visiting of
various provinces of
the senator and talking to a lot of political
leaders, students and
labor groups indicates
thah he is bent on running for the highest
post in the country
come 2016 presidential election.
A son and namesake
of the former storngman Pres Marcos, the
senator has more than
enough resources to
finance his candidacy
but his low popularity
rating from the public has prompted his
group to think what
strategy they could do
to raise his low popularity from the public .
Although he was
warmly
welcomed
by Bataan people led
by Gov Abet S Garcia last Friday here,
Marcos said his camp
is not talking about it
because there are still
a lot of projects and
policies that should be
given priority today.
The senator was also
mum on who is he
supporting among the
presidential frontrunners but local newsmen believe he is bent
on running for the
presidency since it is
too late for him if he
not runs come 2016
presidential elections.

BALANGA
CITY,
Bataan- With the acute
shortage of power supply
particularly in the coming years, the revival of
the mothballed Bataan
Nuclear Power Plant
(BNPP) has snowballed
as no less than Senator
Ferdinand
Bongbong
Marcos categorically stated Friday here that he is
personally in favor for the
operations of the Bataan
Nuclear Power plant.
“I would like the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant
to operate,” said Marcos
in response to a querry
from a local newsman
here inside the Crown
Royale hotel here.
In defending the operation of the BNPP, Senator
Marcos in a press briefing in Balanga City cited
the Nuclear power plant
in South Korea which he
said has the same structure, design and lay out
as that of the BNPP “but
until now it is operating
safely.”
The BNPP was constructed by Sen. Marcos
father, the late former
president
Ferdinand
Marcos, but was mothballed during the time of
President Cory Aquino
in what observers believe
was marred more by po-
litical reason than its real
purpose.
Sen. Marcos said the
mothballed plant can
help in the badly needed power supply of the
country today, which is
experiencing almost daily
brown outs.
During a dialog with
local officials here, Mayor
Jorge Estanislao also said
that the people of Morong
town, where the BNPP is
constructed, are open to
any constructive proposal
for the mothballed power
plant, saying this will
boost the much needed
economic activity of his
town.

ASSESSING THE PROS AND CONS OF COMPUTER
LITERACY
ROBINA D. PAUTIN Teacher III
Balingog East Elementary School
Guimba West District, Nueva Ecija
The advent of computer literacy in the educational system has created a lot of development
as it fastracked the method of teaching, thereby giving the pupils more opportunity to learn other
things with the help of advance technology in the schools.
Compared to the early days where the use of manual writing is the standard procedure which
is considered traditional, the learning ability of a child is somewhat slow-paced, less interesting
and sometimes leads to boredom on the part of the pupils.
But with the inclusion of computer lessons in the school curriculum, even pre-schoolers
since twenty of thirty years back in the already developed countries have advanced their learning
skills compared to the children in less-developed countries.
The computer has systematized not only the teaching methodology of every school as an
institution but also all government and private offices, including private abodes and individuals.
The computers indeed are tools that simplifies a job, modernize a system and contributes
to the reduction of overhead expenses in labor-intensive facilities.
But to the youth who are yet to understand the good and bad effects of too much exposure
to the computers, more particularly the computer games or video games, and other electronicoperated gadgets, the risk of having to absorb too much radiation may occur, depending on the
quality of a machine.
In thickly populated areas, the presence of said machines are noteworthy. Computer shops
catering to children of varying ages are prevalent and some students may have been escaping
from their classes to play games which is detrimental to their future, if operation is not regulated.
While at home, many teeners can be seen listening to CDs through the earphones closely
tucked in their eardrums even while reviewing so chances are the lesser attention they give to
what they are supposed to do tends to divert their attention and their ability learn more is also
at risk.
To prevent the proliferation of those establishment , city and municipal Ordinances that have
been enacted to regulate the operation of computer shops, video karera and video machines and
the like should be implemented to deter such activities that are inimical to children’s education.
OPTIONAL TEACHING STRATEGIES
FOR TEACHERS
JENNY P. ANINGAT Teacher III
Cabu Elementary Cabu
Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija
As any good teacher knows, all students do not learn in the same way. In addition, it is common for a class of
students to be at a variety of levels in any particular subject. Teachers need to use different teaching methods in
order to reach all students effectively.
A variety of teaching strategies, knowledge of student levels, and an implementation of which strategies are
best for particular students can help teachers to know which teaching methods will be most effective for their class.
The first step to choosing a teaching method is to assess the students. This assessment can be formal or
informal. Formal assessments include standardized tests from the textbook or curriculum being used, or teachercreated tests.
These assessments can give you an idea of the previous instruction that the students have received as well
as their academic level. The students in your class may have undergone various teaching methods and quality of
instruction in previous years.
Good teachers know their students, if you have been teaching students. If you have been teaching a particular
group of students for sometime, you probably already know quite a bit about their interests, ability levels, and
learning styles that the group of students is new to you, you can make a point of asking them, individually or in a
group, about their interests and academic strengths.
Depending on the age of the children, they may also be able to write about this, or answer some form of
questionnaire about their hobbies, interests, previous instruction, strengths, and weaknesses. Students generally
enjoy talking about themselves and having their teacher get to know them well, as it makes them feel special, as
well as directing you in choosing your teaching methods.
Once you have assessed your students, you need to plan for different teaching methods. Direct instruction is
the most common form of instruction. This is the lecturing method of teaching. Many teachers use this teaching
method almost exclusively, as it is considered the simplest, and you can cover large amounts of material in a short
period of time.
However, this is not the most effective teaching method to reach all students, especially younger ones, who
often need a more engaging, hands-on strategy in order to learn effectively. In addition, it is hard for teachers to tailor
instruction to students at different levels.
Facts and concepts may also need to be grouped or organized in order to facilitate better understanding.
Teachers can use various teaching methods to help students with memorization, or they can use graphic organizers,
mind maps, story webs, or other ways to represent information visually.
There are many, many more teaching methods, but these are the most common. If the teacher finds the
best teaching method for a particular group of students, the students are likely to learn more quickly and be more
engaged.
In addition, using a variety of teaching methods will keep children from being bored, and help them encounter
the information in new and exciting ways.

schools to the development of the fundamental tools of learning-the 3R’s (reading,
riting and rithmetic).
Once a student has acquired the basic tools in learning, he is expected to be on
his own. In the lingo of educators, these skills are basic to his becoming a functionally
literate person, one who functions effectively and can adapt himself well in this everchanging world. Among the sociologists, they may likely view acquisition of learning
skills as indispensable to making the young people become acceptable members of
society.
Teaching is a highly complex information processing activity that might be
described as an orchestration of skills. Such skills may consist of both intellectual and
manipulative which are needed to be developed among students.
Teaching as inherently human activity involves emotions, which cannot be
systematically appraised and employed, and human values, which are quite outside
the grasp of science.
Teaching is not like inducing a chemical reaction: it is more like painting a picture
or making a piece of music, or in lower level, like planting a garden or writing a
friendly letter. Thus a pupil is never regarded as a robot subjected to mechanical
routinary activities. He should not be expected to react and behave in a predetermined
mold. Instead, he should be treated with utmost care replete with human compassion
and consideration.
Following the same line of thinking, teaching as a unique, professional, rational
and humane activity where one creativity and imaginatively uses himself and his
knowledge to promote the learning and welfare of others. In order that teaching may
become humane, the teacher must be creative and imaginative.
As such, it presupposes teaching as an art in which the teacher is artist and the
learner, an end-product of his own creation. So, whatever the learner has become is
what his teacher made him to be.
Teaching is an activity aimed at the achievement of learning and practiced in such
manner as to respect the students’ intellectual integrity and capacity for independent
judgment. The central element characterizing teaching is intelligence or the higher
thinking powers associated with reason and understanding. Teaching then involves
giving reasons, showing and weighing evidence, acting according to principles,
drawing conclusions on relevant evidence, and justifying actions. The activities allied
with teaching can be divided into two groups: Those that deal with thinking and those
that deal with performing.
As a humane activity, 1eaching is extending a professional assistance to students.
It helps people to gain the knowledge and attitudes they need to be responsible citizens,
to earn a living, and to lead a useful, rewarding life. It also provides the means of
passing knowledge on to the next generation.
The role of coaches and scouts in the development of an athlete is crucial in the
performance of a team. They should perfect a symbiotic rhythm or partnership to be able
to achieve their goal.
Coaches and scouts analyze the strengths and weaknesses of individual athletes and
opposing teams. In looking for a potential recruit, the role of a scout is another factor, a
tandem that is necessary to compliment one another.
Coaches teach amateur and professional athletes the skills they need to succeed at
their sport. Scouts look for new players, evaluating athletes’ strengths and weaknesses as
possible recruits. Many coaches also scout out new talent.
Regularly, a coach plan, organize and conduct practice sessions to analyze the
strength and weaknesses of individual athletes, including opposing teams. He provide
encouragement and motivation to each team members, develop strategies and assess who
among the players will execute a plan at any given time. More importantly, a coach direct
physical conditioning program that enable athletes to attain maximum performance.
On the other hand, a scout usually attend games, review video tapes of games to
assess individual athlete’s performance to determine their potential. He may confer with a
player’s coach about a player’s attitude and other related information as a player. Finally,
he then report to a team coach, manager, team owner for which he is scouting and arrange
possible incentives to prospective players.
Basically, the coach teaches professional and amateur athletes the fundamental skills
of individual and team sports. They hold training and practice sessions to improve the
athletes’ form, technique, skills, and stamina. Along with refining athletes’ individual
skills, coaches also are responsible for instilling in their players the importance of good
sportsmanship, a competitive spirit, and teamwork.
Many coaches evaluate their opponents to determine game strategies and to establish
specific plays to practice. During competition, coaches may call specific plays intended
to surprise or overpower the opponent, and they may substitute players for optimum team
chemistry and success.
Many high school coaches are primarily teachers of academic subjects who supplement
their income by coaching part time. Coaches who work with athletes in individual sports
are often called sports instructors rather than coaches.
Sports instructors teach professional and nonprofessional athletes individually. They
instruct and train athletes in sports such as bowling, tennis, and golf. Because of the diversity
of individual sports, instructors usually specialize in a single activity, such as weightlifting,
scuba diving, or karate. Like coaches, sports instructors also hold daily practice sessions,
assign specific drills, correct athletes’ techniques, and devise a competitive game strategy.
Coaches and sports instructors sometimes differ in their approaches to athletes
because of the focus of their work. For example, coaches manage the team during a game
to optimize its chance for victory, while sports instructors often are not permitted to instruct
their athletes during competition. Sports instructors spend more of their time with athletes
working one-on-one, which permits them to design customized training programs for each
individual.
