Reaching the Unreached: A Challenges for Filipino Educators

Helen Bihag-Boholano & Mary Lou C. Go Puco

Education is one of the necessary elements for progress, a means of rising above poverty, bridging
the social gaps, improving living conditions and health, and promoting wellness and a better life. It is
required so that positive contributions to the global community may be addressed. (A) Globalization is
seen by teachers in the effects that it produces by following and economic business-oriented model of the
world that changes the classroom environment (Barron, Odell & Mercier, 2006). This oversight is a source
of concern since the (B) Philippine Constitution of 1987 expressly provides for free and compulsory
elementary and secondary education. Education for All (EFA) recommends working with international
agencies like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to devise programs to reduce
povertyrelated barriers to learning (Goldstein, 2004). From another perspective, (C) Sparkes (1999)
posited that the ability to participate effectively in the labor market, and its inverse – unemployment, are
strongly affected by the realization of basic literacy and numeracy skills. (D) In terms of labor market
access in the Philippines, only one in every 50 jobs is open to those without basic entry-level skills and
only 50% of jobs are open to those with skills only at entry level (Moser, 1999).

Improving Critical Thinking through Systemic Functional Grammar

Helen Bihag-Boholano & Mary Lou C. Go Puco

(A) As assumed by this study, Systemic Functional Grammar or SFG is a modern language theory
which states that man’s critical thinking increases whenever he uses language. (B) Pre-test will be given to
the respondents to determine critical thinking analysis. SFG concepts will be use during teaching-learning
process such as (C) multi-functionality of clauses, (D) Grammar structures linked with communicative
functions (E) stressed macro-function of language and (F) Use of discourse as the dominant language
structure. These would all trigger off (G) reasonable logical and critical thinking. (H) Post-test will be given
to the respondents after the treatment to determine the significant improvement of the critical thinking of
the respondents. (I) Feedback will be discussed during the post-con in every observation.
