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 poverty-
related 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).

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

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.
