CULTURE-BASED EDUCATION: EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY’S PERSPECTIVE
ELIZER R. CAMAYA
Educational Philosophy. A teacher's declaration of their guiding beliefs regarding "big picture" education-related matters, such as how to best optimize students' learning and potential and what role educators should play in the classroom, school, community, and society, is known as their educational philosophy. No two educators are the same. Everybody has a routine and a teaching style. Although there isn't a set curriculum for teaching, competent educators must adhere to a set of rules. Every educator possesses a distinct educational philosophy that influences the way students perform in the classroom.
Cultural education consists of the capacity for reflection. Children in cultural education learn to reflect upon their own culture, the culture of others, and culture in general. This idea is reflected in the DepEd Vision, Mission, and Core Values:
THE DEPED VISION (Excerpt)
We dream of Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose values and competencies enable them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to building the nation.
THE DEPED MISSION (Excerpt) To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education.
OUR CORE VALUES

The implementation of Culture-Based Education can be justified by looking through some of the educational philosophies.
Essentialism. Schooling should be practical, preparing students to become valuable members of society.
Progressivism. Progressives think that the student should be the center of attention in the classroom, not the curriculum or the instructor. This school of thought emphasizes that students should actively experiment to evaluate theories. The inquiries that students have about the world they encounter are the foundation of their learning. Experiences are given by good teachers to allow pupils to learn by doing.
Reconstructionism. The curriculum of reconstructionist educators places a strong emphasis on social reform as the goal of education. The curriculum, according to social reconstructionists, should emphasize student experience and taking real-world social action.
Existentialism. By providing an environment where students are free to choose their chosen path and exposing them to a variety of life choices, teachers can assist students in discovering who they are.
