LEARNING EP5 PPT FINAL - GROUP 2 ENGLISH.pptx

This is a PowerPoint presentation about teaching quality and development of both local and global teaching of the 21st century

1. LEARNING EPISODE 5: Towards Teacher Quality: Developing a Glocal Teacher of the 21 st Century

2. THE GLOBAL AND GLOCAL TEACHER PROFESSIONAL: Is there a difference? According to Roland Robertson (1992), Glocal may mean a global outlook adapted to the local condition or a local outlook adapted to the global condition. Glocalization in Oxford Dictionary of New Words, defines the word glocal and the process noun word glocalization as a blending of global perspective and local condition.

3. THE GLOBAL AND GLOCAL TEACHER PROFESSIONAL: Is there a difference? As future teachers, you have to blend both global and local perspective. As the saying goes: “think globally, but act locally” or “think global but act local”

4. Global and Glocal Teacher Education Global Education UNESCO defines global education as a goal to become aware of educational conditions or lack of it, in developing countries worldwide and aim to educate all people to a certain world standards. Is a curriculum that is international in scope which prepares today’s youth around the world to function in one world environment under teachers who are intellectually, professionally and humanistically prepared .

5. To become a global teacher, you should be equipped with a wider range of knowledge of the various educational system outside the country; master skills and competencies which can address global demands; and possess attitudes and values that are acceptable to multicultural communities.

6. UNESCO’s Education 2030 Incheon Declaration during the World Education Forum established a vision “Towards inclusive and equitable quality educational lifelong learning for all.” Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 for Education is one of the 17 goals of the United Nation’s SDGs. These outcomes targets bringing together all member nations to expand beyond their geographical territories for global education.

7. By 2030, the seven outcome targets of SDG 4 must have been achieved, these are: 1. . Universal primary and secondary education. 2. Early childhood development and universal pre-primary education. 3. Equal access to technical/vocational and higher education. 4. Relevant skills for decent work. 5. Gender equality and inclusion. 6. Universal youth literacy. 7. Education for sustainable development and global citizenship

8. JAMES BECKER (1988) Define global education “An effort to help individuals to see the world as a single and global system and see themselves as a participants of that system. It is a school curriculum that has a worldwide standard of teaching and learning.

9. 21st Century Learning Goals 21st century content: emerging content areas such as global awareness, financial, economic, business, and entrepreneurial literacy; civic service literacy; health and awareness. Learning and thinking and problem solving skills, communication, creativity and innovation, collaboration, contextual learning, information and media literacy.

10. ICT literacy: using technology in the context of learning so students know how to learn. Life skills: leadership, ethics, accountability personal responsibility, self direction, others. 21st century assessment: Authentic assessments that measure the area of learning

15. “A CLOSER LOOK AT THE TEACHERS AND THE TEACHING PROFESSION IN THE ASEAN AND BEYOND”

16. PRIMARY LEVEL Pre-primary (Play-school, Pre-K, Kindergarten) and the Primary Level which is composed of Grade 1 aged 6 yrs old; Grade 2 aged 7 yrs old; Grade 3 aged 8yrs old; Grade 4 aged 9 yrs ; Grade 5 aged 10 yrs old; and Grade 6 aged 11 years old. It refers to elementary level Primary grades- Kindergarten to Grade 4 Intermediate grades – Grade 5 and Grade 6 The Levels of Schooling as a Teaching Milieu

17. SECONDARY LEVEL Composed of Junior High School and Senior High School. Graduate from senior high school can proceed to college or find a job appropriate to the qualification Slight Variations in some countries Lower Secondary level is three years with Grade 7, 8, and 9. Upper Secondary level is composed of Grades 10, 11 and 12.

18. Variations in the number of years in basic education level across the ASEAN members Variations Levels of Schooling and Number of Years Primary/Elem Lower Secondary Upper Secondary Total Number of Years Countries (as of 2013) Version 1 5 yrs 4 yrs 3 yrs 12 Lao PDR Version 2 5 yrs 4 yrs 2 yrs 11 Myanmar Version 3 6 yrs 3 yrs 2 yrs 11 Malaysia Version 4 6 yrs 3 yrs 3 yrs 12 Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam Version 5 6 yrs 4 yrs 2 yrs (pre-university for Singapore 12 Singapore, Philippines

19. All primary education levels are compulsory, while in some countries the secondary level is voluntary except the Philippines. In Singapore, the last two year levels are pre-university level. The basic education levels of Elementary/Primary and the Secondary level will provide the future jobs of teacher education pre-service graduates.

20. TERTIARY LEVEL a) College level which beyond the basic education in all the countries in the ASEAN b) Ladder of educational system where the student earns a bachelor’s degree in teacher education, which is a requirement to take a licensure examination to become professional teacher c) In the Philippines, TESDA provides diploma and training certificates for lifelong learning d) The agency also assists in the implementation of the senior high school technical-vocational tracks e) The pre-service teacher gets appropriate qualification degree in the tertiary level in order to teach in either the elementary or secondary level of the education system in either the public or private school in a particular country f) Most countries have specific recruitment policies and guidelines

21. The Teacher Professionals Across the ASEAN 1. Academic Preparation of Teacher Professionals in Basic Education Admission to pre-service teacher education varies from the graduates of Grade 9 or Grade 12 Places of Lao PDR, Indonesia, Myanmar and Cambodia pre-school, pre-primary of kindergarten future teachers can have 9 years of basic education (Grade 9) and get advanced training for 3 years to become teachers (9 yrs basic education + 3 years teacher preparation) or 10 years basic education plus 3 years of teacher preparation.

22. FOR TEACHERS OF LOWER SECONDARY LEVEL future teachers should have 12 years of basic education and 2 years of teacher preparation to earn a Diploma in Teaching FOR UPPER SECONDARY LEVEL requirement is 12 years of basic education plus 4 to 5 years of teacher preparation to earn a Bachelor’s degree NON-EDUCATION DEGREE GRADUATES, THEY CAN TAKE THE POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN EDUCATION/TEACHING an equivalent to 12 years of basic education plus 4 to 5 years of Baccalaureate Degree plus one year of Graduate Diploma

23. All teacher education provides a teaching practicum, student teaching or field experiences course. This will provide them the opportunity to apply the theories and concepts in the content and pedagogy courses in real class situation. ASEAN countries have comparable academic teacher education preparations, however there are those who have gone beyond their borders, while others are still strengthening their programs. Differences are according to the context and needs and the education system of the particular member country, their history culture and aspirations. Here are some commonalities in the teacher preparation.

24. Components of Teacher Preparation Qualified, professionally trained, motivated and well supported teachers are the key to quality education .

25. General Knowledge and Understanding Embedded in the general education or liberal arts education subjects in college as preparatory to the core content subjects in the professional education. Cluster of subjects in liberal education provides the development of the person-hood of the future teacher. (What to Know about Oneself and World)

26. Pedagogy Provides variety of teaching delivery approaches beyond the traditional methods of teaching. More innovative methods including student-centered approaches, cooperative learning, project-based learning and many more based on international values to enhance, peace education, sustainable development, respect for diversity, inclusive education, and global citizenship. Pedagogical theories and principles are also included (How to Teach)

27. Teaching Practicum/Experiential Learning Knowledge, theories, principles and pedagogies learned are validated in real life situation as teachers. All ASEAN countries, teaching practicum and experiential learning are required as a component of training or for certification to teach (Immersion to real world of teaching/ Practicum/Teaching Internship)

28. Specialized knowledge/ Major courses For those who will teach the content or discipline in the upper elementary or secondary levels, major content courses are learned. For the early years (pre-school to Grade 3, a more comprehensive knowledge of child growth and development is given emphasis (What to teach in specific discipline or subject area) Common degree titles include Bachelor of Education ( BEd ); Bachelor of Elementary Education ( BEEd ); Bachelor of Secondary Education ( BSEd ); and Diploma in Education either Pre-baccalaureate/Post Graduate ( PGDip) Common standards and competencies were developed as a guide for all teachers

29. 1. Skills in the 21st century 2. Professionalism and accountability 3. Pedagogical competence 4. Teacher’s characteristics/qualities 5. Knowledge competence

30. The Teaching Profession Practices in the ASEAN 1. Teacher’s Major Responsibilities 3 major responsibilities of professional teachers across the different countries: Actual teaching Management of learning Administrative work

31. Carried out in the teaching hours required which is 6-8 hours per day, 40 to 45 hours per week, 4 weeks per month and 10 months a year. Actual Teaching Refers to time of engagement of the teacher with the learners Happens within the official teaching hours Actual teaching hours vary from country and from school to school Actual teaching refers to contact time or time on task

32. Management of Learning Refers to activities that support the actual teaching Can be beyond actual teaching time like remediation or enhancement, homework, or co-curricular activities Administrative work Refers to the teachers’ job that includes writing test items, checking and recording of the test paper results, attending to parents, making reports and other related activities

33. With all the responsibilities that the teacher is required to do, the salary of the teacher varies across the different countries. ASEAN teacher’s salary ranges from as low as USD 120.50 to as high as USD 2,589.00 per month or even higher as in case of Singapore which around $45, 755.00 per year according to the Global Teacher Status Index Report  Salary is based on qualification, teaching experiences and level or grade assigned  Teaching in the public schools will also have a different salary scale  In some countries, there are fringe benefits provided like hardship pay, maternity pay and other bonuses

34.  In the primary level, teachers handle more than one specialized subject  Team teaching is practiced either vertically or horizontally Vertical team teaching - Elementary Science will be taught by one science teacher Grade 1 to Grade 6 Horizontal team teaching - science will be taught by one teacher in one level with different sections or groups In secondary level, the teacher teaches the specific subject area or major area in the same level or in different grade level

35. Teacher Licensing and Recruitment Most teachers are licensed as professional or are certified to teach by the country’s appropriate agencies. Those who are not certified or licensed become para-professionals or assistant teacher.

36. Philippines - Professional Regulation Commission ( PRC) Singapore - National Institute for Education ( NIE) Thailand - Teacher Education Council ( Khurusapha ) Indonesia - Akta IV teacher license is given by the teacher colleges for the authority to teach Other countries – no licensing is provided, certification is issued instead this is done by the Ministry of Education or the teacher education colleges or universities

37. Teacher recruitment process and qualifications are guided by the Ministry of Education for the public schools and the individual private schools under the guidance and polices of each country ministry.

40. The political and ideological orientation of teacher education is “cultivate cultured persons as teachers with lofty ideals, high morality, strong discipline, a sense of mission as educators, engineers of the human soul and the gardeners of nation’s flowers” (Leung and Hui, 2000) There are two main categories of teachers based on the source and structure of their salary or pay 1) Gongban ( state-paid ) teachers who earn salary comparable with other state employees in state-owned enterprises 2) Minban ( community-paid ) teachers who are paid by local community depending on the community income. They are categorized into grades according to their years of service and their standard performance

41. Five Grade System: a. Super-grade teacher – highest level which occupy the upper level of 5% of the teaching force b. Senior-grade teacher occupy 6% of the teaching force in 1990 where most of the primary level teachers belong c. Third-grade teachers d. Second-grade teachers include the majority of the secondary teachers e. First-grade teachers- some of the newly hired primary teachers

72. THE CHANGING GLOBAL LANDSCAPE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY TEACHERS The Changing Global Landscape for the 21st Century Teachers Zhou, 2006 as mentioned in SEAMEO, INNOTECH 2011, identified some key categories of the different changes and developments in the 21st century teaching and learning. A. The new learning environment; B. The new learning contents; C. The new processes of learning and how these will be facilitated; D. The new type of learners; and E. The new type of teachers

73. A. The New Learning Environment It is a place where interactions of the learners among one another, with the teacher and the surroundings happen. It is characterized by the following: learner-centered, new spaces and borderless, enhanced opportunity for creativity and innovations and use of ICT.

74. B. The New Learning Contents With the new learning environment and the explosion of knowledge, content or subject matter of learning has been modified, integrated/Interdisciplinary, demand-driven, emphasis on learning tools on how to retrieve knowledge, and balance of scientific, technological, cultural, global, local concepts.

75. C. The New Processes of Learning and How these will be Facilitated  Face-to-face  Distance Learning  Blended modalities  Experiential and lifelong

76. D. The New Types of Learners  Confident person who thinks independently and critically and who communicates effectively;  Self-directed and who questions, reflects and takes responsibility for his/her own learning;  Concerned citizen, informed about the world and local affairs, has a strong sense of civic responsibilities and participates actively in improving the lives of others; and  Member of the new generation: pop-culture, different ways of thinking, responding.

77. Life and Career Skills  Flexibility and Adaptability - learners adapt to various roles, responsibilities and schedules. Despite the complex condition, they are able to do the different tasks at on time.  Initiative and Self-directed - Goals are set and managed by themselves. There is a commitment to learning as a lifelong process.  Social and Cross-cultural skills - This life and career skills require learners to respect cultural differences and work effectively with others, to be open-minded to different ideas in order to innovate and improve quality of work.

78.  Productivity and Accountability - Individuals who possess these skills are able to produce results. They respect teamwork and cooperation.  Leadership and Responsibility - Good leaders use interpersonal problem-solving skills with integrity ethical behaviour to influence and guide others.

79. E. The New Type of Teachers As teachers are currently preparing students for jobs and technologies that don’t even exist yet, the challenge then is to produce the new type of teachers.  Clear standards and accountability that their learners should know and be able to do at the end of their schooling;  Use broad pedagogies including inquiry-based learning, cooperative learning, other pedagogies;  Skillful in the use of assessment to guide teaching and learning;  Great understanding of local and global cultures;  Skillful in action research to diagnose and solve classroom problems based on evidence;  Practice the core values of inspiring teachers; and  Develop life and career skills for the 21st century and beyond .

80. UNESCO’s Four Pillars of Learning When Jaques Delor wrote a report for the UNESCO entitled: Learning: A Treasure from Within. It was because he believes that “within each child lies a treasure,” ( Delors , 1996). The four pillars are seamlessly linked to each other.

81. UNESCO’s Four Pillars of Learning From Delor’s Report: LEARNING TO KNOW This implies thirst for knowledge and acquisition of such knowledge. More so, it is learning how to learn throughout one’s life.

82. How is Literacy Defined? UNESCO defined literacy as the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts.

83. The 21st Century Literacies 1) The Arts and Creativity - Creativity and innovation are 21st century skills, thus in solving problems and creating art works are part of this literacy. 2) Ecoliteracy - Acquisition of knowledge about climate change, pollution, loss of natural habitats and biodiversity. Solutions on how these environmental problems could addressed must be practiced . 3) Cyberliteracy /Digital Literacy (Information and ICT Knowledge) - Being in the rapid changes in the use of technology for teaching and learning, teachers and learners need to develop and enhance the use of digital gadgets whether on-line or off-line.

84. 4) Financial Literacy - Basic knowledge about the basics of economics and financial management. 5 ) Media Literacy - Teachers and Learners must learn how to dicern about any information which are transmitted via various forms and media . 6) Social/Emotional Literacy - Knowledge about social dimensions and social skills that are appropriate in the context of society . 7) Globalization and Multi-cultural Literacy - Respect multi-cultural diversity, aware of the global trends, acknowledge differences and similarities, respect each other’s dignity.

85. 2. LEARNING TO DO How can the knowledge and the methods be incorporated and enhanced towards the development of skills? To apply knowledge, one must have the 21st century skills. Qualifications now is equated to skills and not to knowledge alone. Can the knowledge gained be translated to application? Learning by doing is a pragmatist’s view of life. Knowledge acquired is nothing unless applied in daily life.

86. 3. LEARNING TO BE It implies developing the potentials of each individual. Continuing education must improve self-knowledge and self-esteem .

87. 4. Learning to Live Together This refers to the relationships among people. It is bringing in together a community to work harmoniously, to live in peace and prosperity and show respect and concern for others.

88. Are all pillars are interrelated with each other as a basic principles? One pillar will not function if it stand alone. There is a need to connect in order to address the 21st century demands for teaching and learning.

89. Any Question?

90. Thank You!
