Study Notes

Challenges in Philippine Education in the 19th Century

Filipino propagandists in Spain criticized the state of education in the Philippines in the 19th century.
They identified old methods hindering intellectual development, including the magister dixit approach, as a key obstacle.
The Filipinos also criticized the rudimentary education system, which they believed was shallow and limited.
The quality of courses offered was seen as parallel to the professor's knowledge, implying a lack of depth and progress.
These limitations made it difficult for Filipino students to adapt and catch up when they pursued further studies in Spain.
The propagandists advocated for reforms in Philippine education to address these shortcomings.

The Changing Landscape of Learning

The 21st century brings new challenges and considerations for education, much like those faced in the past century.

Evolution of Pedagogy

Lecture-based classes were the foundation of learning in previous centuries.
There is a growing corpus of literature arguing for a more student-centered pedagogy.
This shift is driven by the assumption that different times require different skills from learners.
The skills that were valuable in the past may not be applicable today.
