Let’s START with…

PRIMITIVE EDUCATION

The primitive people have a very simple life.

Their livelihood was hunting and gathering wild fruits and vegetables.

They live in crude huts and caves, they have few or no contacts at all with other people.

They have informal system of communication. They only communicate by demonstration (show and tell) method.

As you can see in the picture,

the ancient people were hunting wild

animals like the extinct

mammoth. The mammoth was

trying to scream for help because

it was already surrounded by these primitive

people.

While on this picture, you can observe that primitive people are making a trap to catch fish. They have simple livelihood but still, they managed to live for survival.

SURVIVAL

CONFORMITY

These two words best describes the aim of Primitive Education. The

primate people were only concerned about how they can survive from

different wild animals that may harm them and their family.

Conformity means “Social Approval” which means that whatever others do, they also do it because they wanted

to be a part of the group. These people were also prone to

superstitions and have different beliefs about every things around

them.

ORIENTAL EDUCATION

The basic philosophy of Early Chinese Education was based on the writing

of CONFUCIUS and other chinese philosophers.

Education.

MEDIEVAL EDUCATION

MEDIEVAL EDUCATION was often conducted under the

auspices of the Church. During the 800s, French ruler

Charlemagne realized his empire needed educated

people if it was to survive, and he turned to the Catholic

Church as the source of such education. His decree

commanded that every cathedral and monastery was

to establish a school to provide a free education to every boy who had the intelligence and the perseverance to follow a demanding course of study.

Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Latin, Astronomy,

Philosophy and Mathematics were the

core of most curriculums during this period.

Churches and Chapels were the

agencies for education. They were focused on

the Moral aspect of every people.

EARLY CHRISTIANS

The organization of the CHRISTIAN CHURCH was

started by the apostles of Christ. Special mention has to

be made of the work of St. Paul and St. Peter. Both

journeyed to Rome but St. Paul did more spade work

than Peter. Paul set up many of the church doctrines in his epistles and organized more

churches than any other apostle.

The aims during this period of education was the Moral aspect as well

as Salvation.Moral Training, Spiritual

Training and Music Education in connection with church worship was

the different types of education that people in

this era studied.

contribution to education by the Early Christians.

Monasticism

The term MONASTICISM came from the Greek word

“Monos” meaning alone.

The practice started with the christians who were

persecuted. They fled to the deserts or elsewhere to

escape persecution and so they live alone. There were

also those who wanted to live apart from paganism and

from the luxury of the catholic church itself.

The Monastic people studied the seven liberal arts which was divided into two: The Trivium and the Quadrivium. The

Trivium were composed of Grammar, Dialectic and Rhetoric, while the Quadrivium were composed of

Geometry, Arithmetic, Music and Astronomy.Monastic Schools were the only

agency for education during the middle ages aside from the parish and

cathedral schools.The Methods of Instructions consist of

Catechetical Method, Dictation, Memorization, Language, Discipline and

Meditation and Contemplation.

Palace Schools and University (Universitas Magistrorum Et Scholarium)

Now that you have seen the developmental process of Education worldwide, you may want also to know the historical development of education of the Philippines.

From the Pre-Spanish Era, wherein the Filipinos have a simple lifestyle and may be much alike with the primitive people. The aims were also for survival and enculturation.

The Jesuits, Franciscans and Dominicans were the leaders and called the “Friars” during the Spanish Colonization in the Philippines. Spanish people taught Filipinos the Catholic Religion.

Then came the Americans, who defeated the Spaniards and colonized our country but let us form a good and leading citizens. Their aim is to promote democratic ideals and way of life to the Filipinos.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor led the United States of America to surrender the Philippines to the Japanese colonizers. They taught Filipinos their language and also their culture. The Philippines went for 4-5 years of colonization under the Japanese people.Years went through the Philippines had been independent and were lead by different presidents. The Philippine Education had been changed after the Japanese and the curricula were all about developing the child’s nationalism and leadership.Until now, the Philippine Educational System is still coping up with what’s new in Education. Recently, the “K+12 Program” was already implemented on different schools and students have already a skill related proficiency for them to be in demand in different countries for work.

Now that you have learned where education had started, you might wonder why is it important to be educated. . .

But the only answer is inside you, instead of wondering, think of the reasons why are you going to school everyday. Think of the life you would have years from now if you were not educated. . .Will it be

meaningful? So it is already inside you to think, to learn and to understand that education was given to you freely by your parents. Appreciate and value it as much as they can give it to you. You won’t ever know what lies ahead of you
