1. Write a 250-word essay of your insights about “Teaching Profession: Then and Now”
Instilling wisdom in one’s mind is different from then and now.
Looking back, the struggles of the teaching profession to be recognized in
society can be perceived. It started when only parents were referred to as teachers until
the teaching courses has been offered in a four-year program. However, due to the
constant changes that our society is experiencing, the methods of teaching were changing
from time to time.
Today, the existence of the Covid-19 virus has temporarily ceased the
traditional face-to-face learning method. Gone are the days where learning takes place in
a four-corner classroom having physical interactions between the teachers and learners.
Before the Academic Year 2019-2020 has ended, teaching as a profession requires
different performances, reportings, discussions, and recitations to determine whether the
student is learning or not. It involves the application of lessons and a series of activities
into real-life situations that impelled the students to be responsible, active, and competent
learners.
However, the Academic Year 2020-2021 carried out unfamiliar methods of
teaching to continue Education. Google classroom and meet, messenger, mobile phones,
and other devices became the new set of school supplies. For those who are not privilege,
this approach is truly a burden but on the other hand, it allows the student to be safe,
truthful, and independent in learning.
The various mediums of teaching professions from then and now only stand as
the coping mechanisms. Nonetheless, the objective to mold the students in reaching their
dreams has never changed.
