SUMMARY OF THE CONTENT
I have look up this particular teacher since high school whom I consider my model teacher. I
think I'm still in no position to spill his name right now but I want to share how he
became my most respected mentor. It was during first year high school when he became
my math teacher. I was then, a timid and outspoken student who appears with no social
relatives and no good at making friends. With the fact that I am so small in stature, I was
so shy before but this teacher I keep on looking up always make things possible in
simpler ways. He always has something that provides me courage to overcome my fears
and stand up and rely on chances. Basically, I was not that good in his class, that even
answering when he's calling names gave me so much pressure. But I was taken aback
when he only smiles and compliment me instead for courage when I answered a wrong
answer once. That helps me a lot to try more risk and use up all the cards of
opportunities in my education. And I felt so blessed when in grade 8, 9, 10 and even
senior high school he became my math teacher. Through all the years of ups and downs,
he became my second father not just me but to everyone, who's always there to listen and
provide advices to me. What I have respected the most to him is his equal treatment to
each one of us without further favors and biases. He's a type who even the hardest to deal
with will pay a respect. Before I gone for college, I've asked him about the path I'm
going to take, he said that I could be a great engineer if I want to. I'm quite speechless in
that time, with the idea that he really considers me as his daughter when he want me to
pursue the dream that he never got a chance to. After all, that was a fatherhood
suggestion, and still he let me decide for my own. The decision was not instant, after
talking a lot of times about course ventures in college, I suddenly think of becoming an
educator like him. In taking this education course, I've vowed that I will make myself an
educator like him someday.
With modular and on-line modalities of teaching and learning amidst COVID 19 pandemic, how
do you qualify "quality education"?
Slade, S. (2017). What do you mean by a Quality Education. Retrieved from http://www.google.
A quality education is one that focuses on the whole child--the social, emotional, mental,
physical, and cognitive development of each student regardless of gender, race, ethnicity,
socioeconomic status, or geographic location. It prepares the child for life, not just for
testing. The meaning of a Quality Education is one that is pedagogically and
developmentally sound and educates the student in becoming an active and productive
members of society.
It is said that quality education is one that focuses on the whole child, and that is
developmentally educates students in becoming active and productive members of
society (Slade, 2017). As COVID appears plaguing everyone in the world, it does affects
and has a big impact to everyone's education. Technology has been of main used tool
that bridging one's education to opportunities of educating theirselves amidst the effect
of the pandemic, not meeting face-to-face and not having the learning in the usual four
corners of classroom. This gradually calls on qualifying the quality education with the
current educational situation we're in right now. Further, putting the roles and full
responsibilities to the learners. As learners, with obedience and adhering to the strict
measures, we are bound staying at home and do our own learning through utilization of
online platform. We hold own buttons and switches to learning, whereby it fells molding
ourselves to be productive individuals who are in right state physically, intellectually and
emotionally and of purpose to our society. Needless to say, we're in high percentage of
disadvantages as online learners, the reason why of being given considerations and
patience by teachers and even with the institution. As it is normal, that everyone is not
fairly equipped with learning tools and resources, given that we have different status and
household state, be it the internet connection, gadgets and financial supports. It is also
given that some household doesn't provides conducive environment of learning for
students. Somehow, beyond disadvantages we have advantages of fulfilling those roles
and responsibilities within our homes while studying. In improving and developing
intellectually, internet is a good tool for knowledge exploration and discovering more
information that will aid our learning. We are at high chances to advance our knowledge
and do our own studying regimen at home. Moreover, in improving our emotional state,
given the rampant and prevailing issue of depression among students and even the
appearance of worst cases of suicide, our household will provide support for us.
Managing our time in joining our family bondings, and of enhancing one's passion and
immersion is an efficient way to help us breakthrough and breath a fresh air apart from
stress and frustration. It is also equally important to maintain and regards our health as
our top priority. Be it that there are days that were given many deadlines and
paperworks, caused us to sometimes slack off our usual eating time and sleeping hours.
In maintaining good health, we can easily assert the significance of having time
management like doing things through our schedule, altering distractions and gaining
more focus with the tasks given. Managing our time is very helpful challenge for
everyone, which is basically not just for students. Let's just say that avoiding
procrastination will lead us to healthy being, in that manner we can get full enough sleep
and eat at scheduled times as usual. Overall, it is a challenge of self discipline for each of
us. The present educational system is not in constant predicament after all, and there are
maybe other opportunities and chances to look forward one of these days. Thus,
qualifying quality Education within each learner is an objective that should be ensurely
uncompromised, since it is the main point of our education.
