Activity 1.2 – Make a reflection

1. Can one be a global teacher without teaching abroad? Write your insights.

A global teacher is a competent teacher who is armed with enough skills, appropriate
attitude and universal values to teach students with both times tested as well as modern
technologies in education in any place in the world. He or she is someone who thinks
and acts both locally and globally with worldwide perspectives, right in the communities
where he or she is situated. Yes, but with the aid of technology, in my own opinion, He
can be a global teacher without teaching abroad in

2. Reflect on this statement. “As a global teacher, act locally but think globally.”

“As a global teacher, act locally but think globally as future teachers, we have to blend
both global and local perspective. As the saying goes: “think globally, but act locally” or
“think local but act global.”, we should possess a variety of goals ranging from increased
knowledge about the peoples of the world to resolutions of global problems, from
increased fluency in foreign languages to

the development of more tolerant attitudes towards other cultures and peoples. Global
education embraces today’s challenges as national borders are opened. It paves the
way for borderless education to respond to the needs of educating children of the world
they are entering. It offers new curricular dimensions and possibilities, current scientific
and technological breakthroughs for completely new frontiers in education. A teacher
who is global is also a global teacher and a global teacher can also be a global.
Because of the advancement of the technology, teacher nowadays should learn the
differences in cultures and beliefs of the learners so that he can address he can easily
teach them with the guide of standards of education set by the United Nations. With this
they, we will be all ready to play a significant role to provide educational access to all
types of learners all over the world.

3. What do you mean by the lines of Conrado de Quiros - Being world class does not
mean going internationally and showing our best out there. Being world class is passion
and commitment to our profession; being world class is giving our best to teaching.
Being world class starts right inside the classroom.”

It was stated in the quotation from Conrado de Quiros that being a world class is giving
our best to teaching. Another way of giving our best in teaching is using technology
because technology will improve the quality of education when it comes to facilities. new
school gadgets were invented for the convenience of the teachers and students.
Through technology, we also gain more knowledge and developed our individual skills.
There are also advantages and disadvantages of using technology. We intend to rely our
work and other things on technology which is I think that it’s not good anymore.

Activity 2.1

As a future GLOBAL teacher, it is best that you become familiar with some of these
educational systems of the world. Let us find out how much have you learned

Activity 2.2

1. Based on your matrix of the various educational systems of other countries, how would
you compare our Philippine educational system?

8
[Type here]

I would compare the Philippine Educational System from the other countries, it's not yet more
competitive but in some way it can compete with the standards of other country. We are similar
with them in various ways like the K to 12 program which was implemented by the Department
of Education recently to add more two years in high school and that is what we called the senior
high school. Yes, for me our educational system is globally competitive.

2. In what aspects are we similar with other countries?

Each of the countries have similarities like the Philippines, now they follow the
curriculum of the United State. Also with Australia, their educational system is similar
with the educational system of Canada and England that they have the same basic
education. Unlike China, they have k to 13 curriculums.

I see that most of the countries right now are following the k to 12 curriculums. It is good
thing that most of the country have free basic education which is compulsory for all the
students. South Africa should follow the trends of education which is the k to 12
curriculums. Like the Philippines before that they do not have senior high school. I think
it is really important to follow the k to 12 program to enhance the skills of the student.

3. Is our educational system globally competitive? Why?

Yes, I think our educational system is globally competitive. Because of the K to 12 program, it
helps lot of the student to become skilled or more prepared in becoming a college. Even though
they will not to proceed college they can still find a job.

4. How do you see yourself in the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum as a teacher?

I see myself as a well-developed and maybe well-verse because I had experience the
curriculum myself so I can teach more credibly The task of a k-12 teacher is equally interesting
and challenging. A k-12 teacher has to have enough patience to listen to the students
individually and manage the classroom decorum without being rude to the inattentive students.
As the k-12 motto for the teachers goes like “get students into learning and learning gets into
them”, it is an all-time challenge for a teacher that no two students are the same in the
classroom.

Therefore, it is the primary expectation from the k-12 teacher to give individual attention to all
the students in the classroom and help the lagging student to bring at par with the rest of the
class

5. If given an opportunity to experience teaching in another country listed above, where

would you like to teach? Why?

If I will be given an opportunity to teach in other country, I will prefer to teach in the
country of Japan. It's because Japanese Educational System is so advance that it
assures students with a better future and self-reliant because of its modern use of
technologies. For me as a teacher, I can also experience some advancement with the
way I teach the students and it will help me a lot in improving my teaching skills that will
makes a lot of benefits and through it I can use it in widening more my experiences and
capacities as a teacher

REFLECTION JOURNAL

I learned
I learned that most of the countries that have mention in this topic are different in
educational system like when the children go to school. They vary the way they manage
the school policies and the numbers of year in every level, primary and secondary. Before
can enroll in grade 1 level without taking kindergarten but now Kindergarten in our country
is compulsory because we have a new curriculum the K to 12 program which means from
kindergarten to twelve years of basic education. We need to make Kindergarten as
compulsory for the learners to have an adjustment in school. So, when they enroll in the
next level they will know how to handle themselves.

10
I realized
I realized that different counties as well as different educational system. We compare those
counties and we can notice that we are behind. Let us support the k to 12 program, though many
