Meeting the Challenges of ASEAN 2015: The Philippine Normal University Social Science Teacher Education Curriculum Initiatives
Abstract
ABSTRACT: ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations), as a single trade entity, has the potential to strongly influence world affairs through its trade strength. It is clearly known that ASEAN countries are rich in culture, diverse in language and religion, but have one common goal, to be united as one. Education, as a fundamental human right, is considered as an important and strategic in developing the human resources. The right to education imposes an obligation upon countries to ensure all children and citizens should have opportunities to meet their basic learning needs. The Philippine Normal University (PNU) can help in meeting the challenges of ASEAN 2015. The PNU’s Social Science Curriculum, for example, uses an expanding environment approach. It allows the students to acquire the KVS (Knowledge, Values & Skills) appropriate for each environment. The Filipino identity is best fostered as it is experienced in every level of environment within the pupil’s experience. Comprehending the local, national, and global forces across timelines forms the foundation of competent action required. The desire of each member state in the preservation of its national identity and cultural diversity should be reflected in its educational systems.
KEY WORD: Meeting the challenges, ASEAN 2015, Philippine Normal University, curriculum of teacher education, national identity, and educational system.
INTISARI: “Memenuhi Tantangan ASEAN 2015: Inisiatif Kurikulum Pendidikan Guru Ilmu-ilmu Sosial di Universitas Pendidikan Filipina”. ASEAN (Perhimpunan Bangsa-bangsa Asia Tenggara), sebagai entitas perdagangan tunggal, memiliki potensi yang sangat berpengaruh dalam masalah-masalah dunia melalui kekuatan perdagangan. Hal ini diketahui dengan jelas bahwa negara-negara ASEAN adalah kaya akan budaya, beragam bahasa dan agama, tetapi memiliki satu tujuan bersama, yakni menjadi kekuatan tunggal. Pendidikan, sebagai hak asasi manusia, dianggap penting dan strategis dalam mengembangkan sumber daya manusia. Hak atas pendidikan menekankan kewajiban kepada negara untuk memastikan semua anak dan warga negara harus memiliki kesempatan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan utama mereka dalam belajar. Universitas Pendidikan Filipina (PNU) dapat membantu dalam memenuhi tantangan ASEAN 2015. Kurikulum Ilmu-ilmu Sosial di PNU, misalnya, menggunakan pendekatan pengembangan lingkungan. Hal ini memungkinkan siswa untuk memperoleh KVS (Pengetahuan, Nilai & Keterampilan) yang sesuai untuk setiap lingkungan. Identitas bangsa Filipina adalah hasil pemupukan terbaik seperti yang dialami di setiap tingkatan lingkungan dalam pengalaman peserta didik. Memahami kekuatan lokal, nasional, dan global dalam rentang garis waktu membentuk dasar dari tindakan kompeten yang diperlukan. Akhirnya, keinginan setiap warga negara dalam pelestarian identitas nasional dan keragaman budaya harus tercermin dalam sistem pendidikannya.
KATA KUNCI: Memenuhi tantangan, ASEAN 2015, Universitas Pendidikan Filipina, kurikulum pendidikan guru, identitas nasional, dan sistem pendidikan.
