PEd Prof. 311 - Assignment - Lamzon Joshua Q.

The document describes two different school situations - School X and School Y. School X uses a child-centered approach, allowing students to pursue activities based on their own interests, abilities, and needs. Each child sets their own goals and is compared to their past performance rather than others. School Y aims to produce top-performing graduates and emphasizes intellectual development over other areas. Students are expected to excel in all subjects and outperform their peers, focusing more on competition than the individual learner. School Y conducts intensive test preparation and does not take a learner-centered approach like School X.

Lamzon, Joshua Q.

Bachelor of Physical Education 3

PEd Prof. 311: The Teacher and the School Community

Assignment (20points)

A. School X is anchored on the theory of multiple intelligences in all its curricular and co-
curricular activities. Every classroom is made up of activity centers where the children are given
time and opportunity to hone their skills and capacities. The activities for every learner are
differentiated according to students’ abilities, interests and needs. Each child is considered
important and each capacity is respected. Learners’ own performances are compared against
targets which they themselves set. The school does not believe in failure, but in success. The
teacher’s role is only to guide the learner to what he or she would like to accomplish. The learner
sets the goal that can be done within the framework of time although the minimum requirement
of the Department of Education is still honored. At the end of the year child’s performance is
compared to his own set of goals. All throughout the year, the learner is the center of education.

Question: (based your answers on the discussions today December 4, 2020)

1. What kind design is used in situation A? Explain.

Based on the situation, the design used is child-centered design because it focuses on the
student’s multiple intelligence. It shows that every child has a freedom to choose whatever they
like to do base on their interest, skills and talents. And it emphasizes that every learning of the
students acquire in school, it develop their own personal intelligence. The situation clearly gives
importance to give those students to shine as an individual. It also promotes inclusiveness and
equality among students.

B. In another setting, School y aims to produce the best graduates in town. Each learner must
excel in all academic fields in order to be on the top of the rank in every competition. Everyone
must master the subject matter content. The higher the level of cognitive intelligence, the better
for learner. Each child must be excellent in all fields of discipline. This is the school that
develops more the attitude of competition among themselves. Each student must not be second to
anyone. When preparing for a test, this school conducts cram reviews and practices a lot. The
school gives emphasis to intellectual development and sets aside emotional and psychomotor
development. Success means mastery of the subject content.

cognitive and set aside the affective and psychomotor of students. It is not a learner centered
