3. Def init ion
• Combination of the different philosophical
foundation of Education
1. Constructivism: experiential learning,
experiences construct the mind
2. Progressivism: activity based on child’s
interest
instruction is individualized
3. Budhism: disciplined individual as seen in
independence with responsibility (no
competition)
4. 4. Perrenialism: Teacher is a master of
knowledge,
basis of minimum learning competency.
5. Scholasticism: Belief of a supreme being and
the role of nature.
6. Existentialism: Knowing what is good and evil

5. So I say I ndividualism is:
• Helping the child help himself find solutions
to the present problems, unlocking his
potentials developing an ability that he uses
for the future.
• Learning to live today as a preparation for
tomorrow.
6. Key principles :
• I praise you because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. – Psalms 139:14 NIV
• Man is born good. – Jean Jacques Rousseau
• “The greatest sign of success for a teacher...
is to be able to say, "The children are now
working as if I did not exist."” – Montessori
7. • Not one idiot in a thousand has been entirely
refractory to treatment, not one in a hundred has not
been made more happy and healthy; more than thirty
per cent have been taught to conform to social and
moral law, and rendered capable of order, of good
feeling, and of working like the third of a man; more
than forty per cent have become capable of the
ordinary transactions of life under friendly control,
of understanding moral and social abstractions, of
working like two-thirds of a man. — Edouard Séguin
• Multiple Intelligences _ Howard gardner
8. Beliefs:
• Every child is unique with potentials
waiting to unlock.
• Learning should be enjoyed not a
burden.
• Respect of the child’s individuality
is the foundation of curriculum
9. • Answers are about the past,
abilities are about the future
• Learning is not memorizing old
answers and avoiding mistakes,
learning is solving present problems
to qualify for bigger problems.
11. Role of the school
• Provide a prepared learning
environment that would unlock
the child’s potentials through
achieving independence in
productive activities that gives
happiness and peace as he/she
works.
