TheParadigm(fromTransmissionaltoTransactional)Shiftofeducationinthe Philippines is the transfer of teaching concepts from the Traditionalbookish and direct learning approach Teaching into a 21st CenturyTeachingfocusedondevelopingthelearnersHOTS(higherorderthinkingskills).

TheseHOTS is thedemonstrationof the learnerscritical thinkingability,and to go beyond the four walls of the classroom by applying theirlearning into the 7 domains Identified by the Department of Education(DepEd).

In the traditional way of teaching, the learners are only developing thelowerpartoftheDomainofLearning,whichareidentifiedasLOTS(lowerorderthinkingskills).This isthememorizationintensiveclass,wherethelearnersareforcedtomemorizealonglistofitems,inordertobeabletoanswerintheObjectiveTypequizzesandExams.

Example: Using the LOTS, students would simply answer the question,Whoisthefirstastronaut?,andthenaselectionofa,b,c,dfromwhichthestudentswillchoosefrom.TheseistheMechanicaltypeoflearning,wherestudents would simply do the same thing (memorize) and be able toanswer the same type of exam or questioning method in a heartbeatwithout even knowing the deeper part of it or cant even explain theanswer.

LOTS(lowerorderthinkingskills)are:

Knowledge,Application,Comprehension

However,intheHOTSintensiveteaching,thestudentswouldanswerthetypesofquestions like,WhatarethecontributionoftheSpaceProgramtoourpresentgeneration?orCompareandContrasttheknowledgeand

NationalCompetencyBasedTeacherStandards(NCBTS)



understanding of humans before the space age and during the spaceage?

These types of questions, enables the learners to think critically andexplainhis/heranswerandtodemonstrateactivelyinamannerthattheirunderstanding will show the deep knowledge they have learned in theclassroom.

HOTS(higherorderthinkingskills)are:

Analysis,Synthesis,Evaluation

With all these in mind, the Department of Education realized (at last!)thataParadigmshift isneeded inorder to change thesystem from thetraditionalwaysintothesocalled21stcenturygloballystandardteacher.

Educationexpertsaround thecountry, includingmyMentorandDeanofthe College of Education, Dr. June P. Salana, worked tirelessly togetherwithnumerousexpertsnationwideinordertoidentifythesalientpointsordomains needed in line with the vision of transforming the FilipinoTeacherintoagloballycompetitiveone.

Along with the Commission on Higher education (CHED), TeacherEducation Institutes (TEIs), Philippine Regulatory Commission (PRC),DepartmentofEducation(DepEd)andtheCivilServiceCommission(CSC)in partnership with the different academic institution, the NationalCompetencyBasedTeacherStandards(NCBTS)wasborn.

Hence, the Curriculum change is the product of many years ofdevelopment,thisisnottheideaoftheDepEdSecretaryorthethousandsof teachers around the country. As mentioned by Dr. Isagani Cruz in2001,thisisthePeoplePowerModelofCurricularChange,thisistheresultoftheSocialChangethathappenedtothecountryandtheneedforeducation to be the Main Effort in bringing Competitiveness andinnovativenessamongthepeopleinthe21stcentury.

AsMentionedintheCurriculumDevelopmentbookbyDr.JuneP.Salanaand Dr. Rolando A. Bernales, the curriculum development of today hasshifted fromLearnerArtisan relationship into EmploymentOriented(knowledgebased)Curriculum.

The latest trend is to Empower the teachers, the frontliners ineducation, the deliverers of knowledge,and facilitators of learning in theprocessofdevelopingacurriculum,thatwouldreflecttheCompetencies,teachers and students alike should possess and reflective of the SocialDimensionofeducation.ThatlearningshouldnotbelimitedtoFractionor



Poem writing but rather adopting it to the real life applications andexperiencesthatthelearnermayorhasexperienced.

TheNCBTSFrameworkisdevidedin7Domains:

1. SocialRegardforLearning(SRFL)2. LearningEnvironment(LE)3. DiversityofLearners(DOL)4. Curriculum(Curr.)5. Planning,AssessingReporting(PAR)6. CommunityLinkages(CL)7. PersonalGrowth&ProfessionalDevelopment(PGPD)

According to the Framework Thiswill allow teachers to selfassesstheirownperformanceagainsttheCompetencyStandardsinorderto identify areas of strength as well as areas that need to bedevelopedfurtherinorderforthemtofunctionmoreeffectivelyasfacilitatorsoflearning.

Domain1.SocialRegardforLearning(SRFL)

TheSRFLdomainfocusesontheidealthatteachersserveaspositiveandpowerful role models of the value in the pursuit of different efforts tolearn. The teachers action, statements, and different types of socialinteractionswithstudentsexemplifythisideal.
