Module 3
Foundation Principles of Morality and You.
Overview
This module provides you an idea of what the society expects from you, and the bedrock
foundation of moral and ethical principles.
Topic Objectives:
At the end of this module, you are expected to be able to:

1. Identify roles of a teacher in relation to social institutions such as the family, the school, the
church, and the state.
2. Discuss and internalize the foundational principles of morality.
3. Accept continuing values formation as an integral part of Personal and Professional life.
Having clarified what is expected from this sub-topic, let us proceed with the contents.
Course Materials
1. The Role of Teachers based a Study (Bilbao et. al, 2006)
From a research by Navarro, Rosita et al, their study revealed that the respondents from the
community agreed that teachers: 1.) help develop the moral character of children; 2.) are
second parents; and 3.) are assets of the community.
2. Twelve Beliefs about the Teachers as revealed in the Study of Navarro et. al.
2.1. The most intelligent child should be encouraged to enter the teaching profession.
2.2 Teacher sets moral standard of the community.
2.3 Teachers make good parents
2.4 Men should be encouraged to enter the teaching profession
2.5 the teaching profession is one of the lowest paid
2.6 Teachers should be paragons of virtue
2.7 Children obey and respect their teachers
2.8 Teachers play an active role in disciplining children
2.9 Praising boosts a child’s self-confidence .
2.10 A teacher is a child’s model
2.11 Child’s interest in studies depends upon his/her teacher
2.12 Parents entrust children’s welfare to teachers.
Activity 1. On the two sets of findings, common is the role of the teachers in relation to
setting the moral standard of the community. What is your opinion about this? Do you
believe that the teacher influences the morality of the people in the community to include the
students? Share your thoughts to two of your classmates either thru text or chat. Summarize
the exchange of your ideas and write in your notebook. Finish? Let us now proceed to
another activity.
Activity No. 2. (Individual Activity). What is your realization about teaching? Would you still
want to pursue the teaching profession? In your notebook write you answer to this question
and then, explain the basis of your decision
3. Now let us proceed with the Foundation Principles of Morality.
“Even on your worst day on the job, you are still some children’s best hope.”

To apply what you have already learned, perform the task below.
Activity No. 5. (Enrichment Activities). In your notebook answer the following:
5.1 “Do good, avoid evil.” Following this foundational moral principle, list five activities
which you as a future teacher will do in your face to face classes and five evil things you will
avoid doing.
5.2 “Do to others what you would like others to do to you” is the Christian Golden
Rule. Give concrete examples of the application of this rule as you relate to:
5.2.1 students;
5.2.2 co-teachers;
5.2.3 parents; and
5.2.4 superiors.
5.3 Compose a song or a poem on the Foundational Principle of Morality.
Don’t get tired yet, there is still two more learning tasks to do.
Activity No. 6. VALUES FORMATION AND YOU
Please open this link and learn about values formation and you
https://www.slideshare.net/JoanAtienza/teachingprofession-values-formation-and-you
After viewing the slides, answer the following questions in your notebook.
6.1 What are transcendental values? Give example.
6.2 According to (Bilbao et.al, the author of the reference book of this slide share) Values are
both caught and taught. Do you agree? Explain your answer.
6.3 Values have three dimensions, these are: Cognitive which refer to the concepts that are to
be taught and learned by students; Affective-this refer to the feeling of an individual towards a
value and Behavioral, What are the focused of each dimension?
6.4 Value formation is the training of the intellect and the will. Stated the other way: “nothing is
willed unless it is first known.” Hence training of the will is essential, similarly, self-control is
important- - that is, man has to restrain impulses and steadily aims a virtuous life, that is, a
person is able to directly control the will despite temptations and impulses. Give a personal
experience on this statement.
REMINDER. Man has to struggle to live a virtuous life which means he has already cultivated
the right values and have avoided vices. Man should never give way to vices but instead
cultivate worthwhile hobbies . Likewise, you have to start doing good and to be stronger in
resisting evil.
6.5 Max Scheler has provided a hierarchy of values which are:

5.1 Pleasure Values
5.2 Vital Values
5.3 Spiritual Values
5.4 Values of the Holy
Based on the slide share you have just viewed, give specific values for each of the
categories using a graphic organizer
This last activity is the application stage. Do no miss it.

Activity No. 7. Read the following and with reference to value formation, write your action
(notebook) to each as an evidence that you accept continuing personal value formation.
7.1 Take care of your thoughts, they become your actions, take care of your actions, they
become your habit; take care of your habits they become your character, take care of your
character; it becomes your destiny.
7.2 “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.”?
7.3 “di baling mahirap, basta’t may dangal.”
Did you enjoy your learning journey today? I hope so. Relax now so you may be
prepared for the next learning sessions.
