Foundation of the Teaching-Learning Process and The Professional Teacher Intensive Review 7

SITUATION
In a faculty development program, the teachers were asked what schools should do to help
develop the learners. The responses of the teachers could be grouped into five:
Group 1 – Schools should go back to the basics; they should teach the 3 R’s.
Group 2 – Schools should develop in the students’ appreciation of the humanities. This way,
they become highly rational and moral.
Group 3 – Schools should help develop students to become enlightened and intelligent citizens
of a democratic society.
Group 4 – School should teach students to make responsible choices and be made accountable
for such choices.
Group 5 – Schools should develop in the students the ability to adapt to a changing world.

To which philosophy does Group 5 adhere?
