    “How does education affect the lives of the people in society?”

    “Education is the social institution that formally


    socializes members of society. It remains a very important
    support pillar in society. Education refers to the process
    through which skills, knowledge, and values are transmitted
    from teachers to the learners.”

    Very Good!

    Below is an outline box. Write in the boxes the things you will normally learn

    DISCUSSION
    “Indeed, education really affects the lives of the people in the
    society. Without the transmission of skills, knowledge, and values, we might
    have the difficulty in understanding our way of life, ourselves and the how we
    relate with others.”

    Can you please


    enlighten us, what
    education really is?

    The term education was derived from Latin “E” or “Ex”


    which signifies “what is inside is brought out”, and “ducere”
    which means “to draw out”, “to lead”, “elicit”, “develop” from the
    latent, rudimentary or potential condition”. A liberating education
    is one where the teacher is like a midwife as envisioned by
    Socrates. The midwife draws the human (infant) from the human
    (mother). A teacher should be like that. He should draw from inside
    the human person what is already there within that person.

    Education refers to that deliberately and consciously


    planned process of systematic instruction, schooling, or training in
    preparation for life or some particular task.

    To the moralist, education is preparation for the life thereafter.

    Sociologist and anthropologists view education as the


    process, in school or beyond, of transmitting a society’s cultural
    knowledge, skills, values, and behaviors. Every society seeks to
    educate its young members to prepare them for adult roles.

    Education is the process by which one draws out what is


    within a person; it helps a person to externalize what is internal and
    present within him. Education assumes that a person is not a
    complete blank sheet or empty space, but rather, that he has
    potentialities and experiential meanings that can be brought out,
    used, and developed by means of an educational process. One of
    the distinguishing features of education in modern societies is that it
    has become an institutionalized formal activity. These societies
    deliberately organize the educational experience, make it
    compulsory for people in certain age groups, train specialist to act
    as educators, and provide locations and equipment for the
    teaching and learning process. For our present purposes then,
    education is the social institution responsible for the systematic
    transmission of knowledge, skills, and cultural values within a
    formally organized structure. Education is a powerful and influential
    force in contemporary societies. As a social institution, education
    imparts values, beliefs and knowledge considered essential to the
    social stability and social change, reflecting society even as it
    attempts to shape it.

    Take note: There is a Formal and Non-formal Education. Formal


    Education is based in the classroom and provided by trained teaching and
    nonteaching personnel. It has an approved curriculum, which includes the
    course outline, the prescribed number of sessions to finish the lessons and
    authentic assessments and outputs. Non-formal Education, on the other
    hand, is an organized educational activity that takes place outside a formal
    setup. It is usually, flexible, learner-centered, contextualized, and uses a
    participatory approach. It has no age limits as kids, the youth, and even
    adults can take part in a non-formal education program

    What is the function of


    education?

    The primary function of educational institution is the socialization of children and


    the new members of the society. The aspect of education prepares each child
    and the new members of the society for a significant life in the society.
    Educational institution keeps children and youth occupied and out of labor
    force. It serves to bring about social change, provides a means for social
    mobility, and conducts many community activities for both parents and
    students.

    In Sociological Perspective, there is Manifest and Latent


    Function of Education. Manifest function of education is
    socialization. Emile Durkheim described schools as agents of
    Socialization that prepare children for their future economic roles.
    Children are taught not just economic subjects like math and
    science, but also how to fall in line, wait for their turn, and share
    what they have. It is also the transmission of culture, skills, and
    values. On the other hand, Latent Function of Education refers to
    the unintended functions that are brought about by the school
    environment. Schools are venues for expanding people’s
    networks. They are where you can possibly find a spouse, a
    business partner, or friends that you can keep for life. Also, it is the
    ability to work in groups, whether as a leader or as a member.

    Furthermore, as enumerated below are the functions of education

    1. Giving training in specific skills or the basic general education


    literacy.
    2. Prepare people for occupational roles.
    3. Preserving the culture from one generation to the next.
    4. Encouraging democratic participation by teaching verbal skills.
    5. Developing the person’s ability to think rationally and
    independently
    6. Enriching life by enabling the students to expand his/her
    intellectual and aesthetic horizons.
    7. Improving personal adjustment through personal counselling
    and such courses as applied psychology, sex education, family
    and drug abuse
    8. Improving the health of the nation’s youth by providing
    physical exercise and courses in hygiene.
    9. Producing patriotic citizens through lessons illustrating the
    country’s glory
    10. Building character.

    Why do you think education is important and necessary?

    Education serves a number of important functions that contribute to the


    operation
    Education andamaintenance
    serves of society.
    number of important Education
    functions that equips people
    contribute with the
    to the
    knowledge and skills needed to take on different roles that the society needs in
    order to run smoothly.
    Very Good! In addition, the Universal declaration of the Human Right states that
    everyone has the right to education. Education has to be free and compulsory at least
    in the primary level, whereas higher education should be made available on the basis
    of merit. Education is a human right since this is one of the few avenues that can allow
    social mobility for everyone regardless of their background.
    .
    APPLICATION

    Given our discussion on the function and definition of education,


    what do you think is the important goal of education?

    “There are two most important goals in education for the individual and
    society are “self-actualization” which is notion of Abraham Maslow’s
    hierarchy of needs wherein it refers to the desire for self-fulfilment,
    namely, the tendency for him to become self-actualized in what he is
    potentially. Secondly, “Productive Citizenry” refers to the idea that
    citizen by him/herself must create the environment and opportunities to
    become productive.”

    Very Good!

    Answer the following questions.

    1. What are the most important manifest and latent functions that ate
    served by educational institutions? Explain your answer.
    2. What are the obstacles to providing greater access to education?
    Provide suggestions on how these obstacles can be overcome.
