    Talk about the Experience of Teaching
    1

    The experience of teaching


    • Joy • Frustration
    • Satisfaction • Loss of control
    • Pride • Fatigue
    • Sense of accomplishment • Anger
    Summing up

    • Teachers have felt both positive and


    negative feelings about their
    experiences, particularly in the
    context of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
    • We will draw on the positive
    experiences to motivate us and
    strengthen our resolve towards
    delivering quality education and
    positive change in working with
    learners.
    Why Positive
    Discipline?
    • The National Baseline Study on Violence
    (2016) against children has found that
    80% of the 3,866 boys and girls aged 13-
    24 years had experienced some form of
    violence in their lifetime.

    • LGBT children experience significantly


    more physical, emotional, and sexual
    violence than other children.

    • The Study was not able to gather data on


    the prevalence of violence experienced
    by children with disabilities.
    Corporal Punishment
    is the most common form of violence experienced by children.
    It is also called physical and humiliating punishment.
    “Corporal” or “physical” punishment is any punishment in which
    physical force is used and intended to cause some degree of pain or
    discomfort, however light… In the view of the Committee, corporal
    punishment is invariably degrading.

    Committee on the Rights of the Child General Comment No. 8: The


    right of the child to protection from corporal punishment and other
    cruel or degrading forms of punishment
    Hitting, slapping, Pinching, pulling hair
    Hitting with objects
    smacking or ears

    Forced standing or Forced


    kneeling ingestion
    • Violence also includes words or
    actions that shame, embarrass,
    threaten, or scare children.
    • These are emotional
    punishments.

    • Physical punishments are actions


    that hurt the body. It always has
    emotional impacts that are at
    least as strong as the physical
    impact.
    • Emotional punishments are words
    and actions that hurt the heart.
    Shame Anger Humiliation

    Fear Hatred Resentment


    What do children say?
    “
    Masakit po talaga. Hanggang paglaki ko nasa damdamin ko ‘yon.
    Hanggang ngayon galit na galit pa rin ako sa tatay at nanay ko.”

    “ Masakit po. Nakatatak na po sa puso ko.”

    “ When I made a mistake, he threw a book at me.


    And then, my classmate asked a question, Sir kicked him repeatedly.
    Because of these experiences, I think less of myself.”
    • Higher levels of aggression
    and anxiety
    Physical and emotional
    • Lower self-esteem and risk of
    violence children have developing depressive
    serious consequences to symptoms
    children’s well – being • Intergenerational violence

    Reference: The Systematic Review of Literature on


    the Drivers of Violence against Children (2016)
    Factors that push adults to commit physical,
    psychological, and sexual violence in the home are:

    • Acceptance and justification of the use of corporal punishment or


    violent discipline

    • Gender inequality – norms that maintain unequal power


    relationships between genders

    • Financial stress

    • Alcohol/substance misuse
    Summing up

    • We were raised to believe that it is right


    and just to punish children for bad
    behavior and mistakes.
    • We were raised to fear that not
    punishing children will lead to a bad
    outcome.
    • We know now, that VIOLENCE HURTS
    CHILDREN NOW and harms their future
    prospects.
    But there is hope…

    • But we can change our beliefs and


    our behavior to end this kind of
    violence against children.

    • In the 2009 National Study on


    Violence in Schools, a significant
    number of children 60% - 70% of 6,931
    elementary and high school students
    have indicated having been talked to
    in private or receiving counselling
    when they did something wrong.
    E-Net Philippines’ Positive Discipline work with
    teachers in 3 QC public schools QC and 1 private
    school in Marikina:

    • In 2018, learners reported that teachers tend to use both


    punishment and non-violent discipline.

    • In 2019, 30% of elementary pupils and 70% of high school students


    have reported that their teachers are practicing positive
    discipline instead of punishment.
    • This gives us hope that while
    changing social norms that accept
    corporal punishment of children
    and gender inequality can be
    difficult, gradual change can
    happen.

    • Eventually we can learn to use a


    non-violent and problem-solving
    approach in responding to
    challenges instead of using
    punishment
    Education in the context of COVID-19 pandemic
    • Teachers are expected to deliver
    education through a blended approach
    using modules delivered online, in
    print, or radio/television

    • Limited or no face-to-face contact with


    learners

    • Increased coordination with learner’s


    parents or caregivers
    Do Teachers still need to learn Positive Discipline?
    • Violence against children still happens in the
    home, particularly physical and emotional
    punishment

    • Violence in the form of punishment can


    disrupt children’s learning

    • Teachers have a very important role in


    helping parents support their children’s
    education without using punishment
    Is Positive Discipline still Relevant for
    Teachers?
    • Through Positive Discipline, we can
    establish and provide a safe learning
    environment for learners.

    • Teachers can model to parents how to


    interact with their children at home.

    • Teachers are in a position to recognize


    potential situations of violence in the home
    and refer this to those who can help.
    Mahalaga pa rin, kahit na hindi natin nakikita araw-
    araw ang mga learner natin, maramdaman nila yung
    Warmth na pwede nating ibigay sa kanila.

    Discipline?

    or
    (Positive Discipline) (Not Positive Discipline)
    What is Positive Discipline in Everyday Teaching
    (PDET)?

    It is a positive, rights-based
    approach that helps guide
    teachers in creating and
    maintaining a learning
    environment where all children
    are respected and are successful
    learners.
    Positive Discipline in Everyday Teaching has its
    strong foundation on children’s rights

    • The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was signed by 193


    member countries of the United Nations.
    • It exists to protect all children and ensure they grow up in the most
    optimal environment.

    What does the UNCRC say about the Role of Parents?

    The UNCRC standards can only be met if parents’ needs are met. Parents
    are to be supported to be able to provide for children’s basic needs:

    • Article 5: Government will respect the responsibilities, rights, and duties


    of parents and caregivers to care for their children.

    • Article 18: Parents have the primary responsibility for upbringing and
    development of the child and supported by the government.
    • These articles indicate that
    children’s rights are recognized
    alongside the rights of adults.

    • Fulfilling the rights of children


    should not prevent adults from
    enjoying their own rights.

    • Fulfilling adult’s human rights


    should not prevent children from
    enjoying and exercising their rights.
    • Through this Positive Discipline web series, the
    Department of Education through the Teacher Education
    Council Secretariat is providing support to teachers to
    transition from punishment to a non-violent and
    problem – solving approach.

    • By practicing Positive Discipline in their interactions with


    learners, teachers are able to protect children from
    violence, in line with the Department of Education’s
    Child Protection Policy.
    Positive Discipline fulfills children’s rights:

    Access to quality Protection from


    education discrimination

    Protection from all Participation in their


    forms of mental and own learning
