It’s my third day teaching, yet I feel like I am teaching for months...

                  Yes, both can be true. But I’m happy with the way I started my career as a teacher, again. I waited like forever, bored, felt like useless and damn tired right after my application. The processes were absolutely tedious and terrible to say. But, hey, here I am, finally teaching after a very long wait. Super excited to meet my new students, colleagues and everything inside the campus, along with the new roles and responsibilities I need to comply, it’s a mixture of feelings in one soul then.
                I have heard someone saying that, a man is sad when he always thinks about time, but he who forgets is happy. This is true, but my argument is, I’m happy so far with the way my colleagues welcomed me as new member of the family more so the students. Respect from students, which I think vital to teachers’ wellbeing is very evident, their enthusiasm to meet me and their interest to learn something is I must say well noticed.  So what is the problem then with this kind of feeling? Maybe, I am too relaxed and out of pressure! Funny it may seem but it’s kind of true. So, just hurray for today!

                This blog entry was created out of boredom and joy (yes, both can coexist).

Philippine Economy and the Philippines’ Rights over the West Philippine Sea and Duterte’s Inclination towards China

Philippine Economy and the Philippines’ Rights over the West Philippine Sea and Duterte’s Inclination towards China While the pro-China inclination of the Duterte administration is clear, there seems to be inconsistency in his actions and rhetoric. Is he clever enough to manage a strategy to optimize gains from the economic superpower? At the end of this, what does Duterte truly care about? In a 2016 survey, the majority of Filipinos (92%) still trusted the US more than China (24%). Despite Duterte's desire to adopt an independent foreign policy and distance himself from traditional allies like the US, critics argue that cutting ties from traditional allies does not equate to an independent foreign policy. Interestingly, his foreign policy is more inclined towards China, aiming to secure investments for infrastructure projects and access to lucrative export markets for Philippine goods (Woody, 2016). In 2016, Duterte was seen as playing off China and the US to get the best deals, b...

Learning Week 1: Norms of Morality

JETHRO A. ODOY, MAEd                                                                                       May 5, 2018 EdD-EM Social and Moral Philosophy Professor: Dr. Minerva Fabros Learning of the Week No.1 Morality is a quality of a thing manifesting its conformity or non-conformity with its norms or criteria. Hence, I must say, in my opinion, morality is relative and it is influenced by culture, tradition and beliefs of a certain individual. For instance, giving tip to someone who offers service may be acceptable in the Philippines but in Japan it’s a big no, the same case with asking ice for your water in the restaurants in the Philippines is quite okay but never do that in the country like France. Yes, indeed it is relative and the culture that was boun...

THE SCIENCE EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS

-
Imahe
Science Education Curriculum nowadays is in the row of unending issues and concerns particularly the quality being offered by the schools and the teachers. The bane now is the fact that it yields to the production of not competitive graduates, unable to demonstrate the supposed scientific skills. This problem is a major challenge to all schools across the globe since the demand of highly competitive graduates is increasing, while the supply is endangered. One root cause of the decreasing number of science graduates is the fading perceived interest of the students to take science courses; perhaps this is due to the teachers who failed to demonstrate how interesting science is and how it plays a significant role in the society at large. The conundrum now is to strengthen science education through developing to the students the sense of valuing the significance of the latter scientific knowledge and skills as honed by the teachers in their lower years. It was noted however that the att...
