The goals and scope of teaching Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao Intended Outcomes of
Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao as a Course (subject) mandates the effective teaching of EsP begins
with a clear understanding of the expected outcomes or the goal of teaching EsP. The K to 12
Curriculum Guide for EsP was developed by the Department of Education which states: “Tunguhin
(goal) nito (EsP) ang paghubog ng kabataang nagpapasya at kumikilos nang mapanagutan tungo
sa kabutihang panlahat lilinangin at pauunlarin ang pagkataong etikal ng bawat mag aaral. Upang
maipamalas ito, kailangang magtaglay siya ng limang pangunahing kakayahan. (macro skills ,
pang unawa, pagninilay, pagsangguni,pagpapasya at pagkilos). Nilalayon ng EsP na linangin at
paunlarin ang pagkataong etikal ng mag aaral. Ang EsP ay naglalayong gabayan ang mga mag
aaral na mahanap/matagpuan ang kabuluhan ng kanyang buhay, ang papel niya sa lipunang
Pilipino upang makibahagi siya sa pagtatayo ng pamayanang pinaiiral ang katotohanan, kalayaan,
katarungan at pagmamahal”.

The Learning Area Standard

The teaching of EsP has cognitive, behavioral (psychomotor) and affective dimensions. It
begins with the student’s understanding of the concept of responsibility to himself/herself, his/her
family, fellowmen, country, world and God (pag unawa sa mga konsepto sa kanyang

m
er as
pananagutan) which lead to decision-making and responsible action (nakakapagpasaya at

co
nakakakilos ng mapanagutan)

eH w
Effective EsP touches the minds the hearts and the hands of the students not just their

o.
minds. Effective EsP makes the student realize that responsibility has a horizontal and vertical
rs e
dimension. He/she has to reach out to his/her fellowmen.
ou urc
Guiding Principles in the Teaching of Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (EsP)
1. Values are both taught and caught. The EsP teacher must teach the cognitive aspect of virtue
o

intentionally and must live to

aC s

2. Values cannot be separated from understanding although values and attitudes relate to
v i y re

the affective dimension.

3. At young age, a child may not yet be capable of understanding his/her true personhood
but can be taught to lead a virtuous life that early for him to develop good character. The
book of Proverbs states, “Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not
ed d

depart from it.” (Proverbs 22.6)

ar stu

4. Values education is about developing virtues, good habits, and dispositions which had
students to responsible and mature adulthood. Effective value education must promote the
development of virtue. Virtues are developed through learning and through practice. As Aristotle
sh is

taught, a person can improve his or her character by practicing self-discipline, while a good can be
corrupted by repeated self-indulgence.
Th

The virtuous person is the ethical person. Margaret Thatcher said:

“Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions.
Watch your actions for they become habits. Watch your habits for they become character.
Watch your character for it becomes your destiny.”

5. Values Education is concerned with relationships, personhood is rooted in relationships.

We develop our personhood in relationship with others. One’s development is inseparably related
to others. No one attains his/her personhood without others.
6. An effective values education takes place in an atmosphere of respect, tolerance and
genuine understanding. The EsP teacher shares and offers his/her value system with the
students or students also share their value systems in class without imposing them on others.

“Say thank you,” “Sit up straight,” “Shake hands,” “Say please”…Most of us heard phrases like these
aC s

as we grew up, because our parents were teaching us manners. Many of us do the same thing with our
v i y re

children. But why do we bother? What is so important about teaching manners, anyway?
For one thing, having good manners meet a social expectation – kids are expected to have good
manners, and they and their parents earn more respect when they do. Another thing to consider is the role
good manners play in your children’s future.
ed d

What manners do at the heart of good manners is a respect for oneself and others. Good manners
convey a sense of respect for the sensibilities of other people. When you say “thank you,” you’re taking the
ar stu

time to make the other person feel appreciated. Saying “please” respects a person’s right not to do what
you’ve asked (it’s not so demanding with a “please” attached). Good manners also show that a child listens to
his parents and does what he is taught – these are good character traits that teachers and other authority
figures appreciate.
sh is

Manners convey quite a bit of information! Your children do such a big favor when you teach them
good manners. Good manners can make or break an opportunity. For instance, if your child is up for his first
Th

job and his credentials match another candidate’s, the more polite and mannerly candidate may end up with
the job. If your child wants to ask a particular girl out, she may refuse a relationship if your child has bad
manners. Even before those adult scenarios, your younger child may find that good manners go a long way in
endearing himself to teachers, coaches, and peers. Simply put, your child may be more successful in life in
general if he has good manners.
The big picture is, it’s not just your child’s future that is affected by her manners; it’s her parents’
reputation and, ultimately, the civility of the culture and society in which we live. While no one is perfect,
imagine a culture where good manners just don’t exist – not a pleasant thought!
Good manners set a standard of behaviour against which other behaviour can be measured, which
helps keep order and civility in society. So it would seem that teaching your kids good manners has significant
implications. It’s worth noting, too, that good manners modelled in the home can go a long way toward
teaching them. In other words, rather than nagging about manners, just do them – then your kids learn that
good manners are “just the way it’s done.” (https://childdevelopmentinfo.com/parenting/the-importance-of-
