B. Answer the following questions:

1. What are the 6 goals of the United Nation (UN) to attain global education?

Discuss each.

equal access to quality education.
• Quality: Focusing on improving the quality of education, including relevant learning outcomes
and effective teaching methods.
• Equity: Addressing disparities in educational opportunities based on gender, socioeconomic
status, geography, disability, or other factors.

opportunities for all individuals.

2. What are the qualities and characteristics need to possess of a global Filipino teacher? Do
you think it is important to be considered by a future teacher like you? Why?

A global Filipino teacher must possess cultural competency, adaptability, language proficiency,
empathy, and a commitment to lifelong learning.Yes it is important to us as a future teacher like
me, because if I possess those chararacters of being a global teacher I think I will do my best
always as a teacher, always put an effort and dedication to give the best learning to my student
and not only focuses on the salary that the teachers have, and if you have a commitment in
lifelong learning I think it is also a good way for me as a teacher to share what is my learning to
this.

3. Explain the statement of Conrado de Quiros which states "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."
In my opinion, it is not always you need to be in international if you are excellent in your work. Id
doesn't mean if you are gooing internationally you are world class, because in your small
classroom , small population you are being world class here because right inside the classroom
start to be a being world classs.Excelling in a field, especially in teaching, is more than just
winning awards or gaining international recognition. It emphasizes the importance of passion,
commitment, and dedication, starting within the classroom. Success begins at the basic level,
emphasizing regular interactions with student.
4. What are the 21st Century Learning Goals established as bases of curricula worldwide?
Give the specific competencies and skills that need to be developed among these learning
goals.

effectively.
• Communication: Proficiency in conveying ideas clearly, listening actively, and collaborating with
others.
• Creativity: Encouraging innovation, originality, and the ability to think outside the box.

communication, problem-solving, and productivity.
• Adaptability: Being flexible and open to change, adjusting to new situations, and learning
continuously.
• Cultural Competence: Valuing diversity, respecting different cultures, and working well in
multicultural environments.

5. What are the Five (5) Teacher Exchange Programs? Discuss each by highlighting the
important details about each program.

• Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program: Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, it allows
educators to teach, conduct research, or pursue professional development abroad for a semester
or academic year.
• JET Programme (Japan Exchange and Teaching): Offers teaching positions in Japan for
foreigners to promote internationalization in schools and communities.
• Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility: A European Union program that enables teachers to teach in

opportunities to collaborate and learn from international colleagues, enhancing their teaching

• Teachers for Global Classrooms (TGC): Run by the U.S. Department of State, TGC offers
professional development for American teachers, including an international exchange component
focused.

6. Discuss the Roles of technology in achieving the goal of learning for understanding.
• Access to Information: Thanks to technology, students have easy access to a plethora of
knowledge and resources that enable them to investigate a range of viewpoints, go deeper into
issues, and develop a thorough understanding of a variety of disciplines.
• Interactive Learning Tools: Through experimentation, hands-on learning, and visualization,
interactive simulations, instructional apps, and multimedia content actively include learners in
the process of developing conceptual knowledge.
• Personalized Learning: By meeting the demands of each learner, adaptive learning systems
employ algorithms to customize instructional information to fit each person's unique learning
preferences, pace, and skill level. This approach improves understanding.
• Communication and Collaboration: Students and educators throughout the world can work
together thanks to technology. Collaborative learning is facilitated by shared papers, video
conferencing, and discussion forums. This allows for deeper understanding and idea sharing
among peers.
•Analytical Tools: Learning platforms and data analytics offer insights into students' progress and
comprehension levels, enabling teachers to customize their lesson plans, offer focused
assistance, and pinpoint areas that need more attention to improve understanding.
• Real-World Applications: Students can connect theoretical knowledge with real-world
circumstances through the use of technology, which helps to create a deeper understanding of
how concepts apply in different contexts.

7. As a future teacher, what are the six (6) performance indicators that are offered for
everyone as guides that will guarantee the ability to cope with rapid demand for use of
technology in the global classrooms.

• Digital literacy: the ability to use digital tools and resources for teaching and learning in an
efficient and knowledgeable manner.
• Adaptability: Having the flexibility and receptivity to include new technology in lesson designs
and instructional activities.
• Tech Integration Proficiency: Skillfully incorporating technology into the curriculum to improve
student learning results.
• Problem-solving with Technology: Applying technology to tackle educational obstacles and
coming up with creative fixes.
• Student Engagement: Using technology to build dynamic learning environments and actively
involve students.

8. What are the qualification requirements of applicants who can be admitted to file for
Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). Are these enough to be the requirements? Justify
your answer.

A bachelor's degree in education or a similar field, professional education courses completed,

and maybe teaching experience are prerequisites for taking the Licensure Examination for
Teachers (LET). These prerequisites serve as a starting point, but whether they are sufficient
depends on the standards set by educational institutions and licensing bodies. They provide a
minimal level of expertise and knowledge, but obtaining teaching proficiency often requires a
blend of formal education, practical experience, and ongoing professional development. Thus,
while these prerequisites are crucial, what makes a good teacher is also influenced by other
factors including teaching prowess, adaptability, and a passion for learning.

9. What are the findings of EDCOM on why the quality of Philippine Education is declining
and that the teachers are "at the heart of the problem". Give your reason why this may be the
cause of deterioration of quality of education.

The Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) report on the deteriorating quality of

education in the Philippines outlined several factors, identifying teachers as "at the heart of the
problem." This statement suggests that the challenges faced by teachers—such as insufficient
training, low compensation, excessive workloads, and limited resources—have a significant
impact on their capacity to deliver high-quality instruction.
