REFLECTION
Special Education is not
just a simple education where pupils and teachers can easily understand and
communicate each other base in normal classroom set-up. Special Education is
really something special where the pupils in this curriculum must take more
attention compare to normal set up, where they should have enough special needs
for their special capabilities and special provisions for their different
conditions.
I learned from our seminar that children with
special needs have many types and these are the children with gifted knowledge,
skills or talents, where from the very young age they easily understand the
lessons or can even advance their lessons and compete to higher year level; children
with autism, I learned that these kind of children are mostly boys and good
looking and have repetitive works; cerebral palsy, these children have no
muscular coordination ;children with down syndrome, these children are young at
mind but matured based on their body they have similar with children with
autism; mental retardation are the most severe case, where they could not
recognize their parents or family;
children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), these children
are very energetic and productive where they always want to catch the attention
of everybody; learning disabilities, children with difficult to comprehend; children
with different impairments in visual, hearing and physical and also the
children with behavioral problems, where mostly they are so violent.
Children with special needs
or even the adult one should be understand and accept in society as part of it
because they still human after all even though they think and act as young they
still have feelings and can feel indifference. Love and care are still the best
remedy for these special people.
REFLECTION
Alternative Learning System is a ladderized, modular
non-formal education program in the Philippines for dropouts in elementary and secondary schools, out-of-school youths,
non-readers, working Filipinos and even senior citizens. It is part of the educational system of the Philippines but an alternative to the regular classroom studies where
Filipino students are required to attend daily. The alternative system only
requires students to choose schedules according to their choice and
availability where they could still work at weekdays and study in weekend.
ALS help the people to become more educated and accessible to
knowledge through this program many dropouts and out of school youth continue
to follow their dreams and hoping for a better future where mostly they
continue their education and trying to get a degree in college in order to have
a good and decent job.
Moreover, it may be true
that the ALS of the Philippines have been a great help to anybody, but for my
insights the education that they offer to the learners cannot suffice the
educational needs for them to qualify for higher education and even to land in
good and decent jobs. The students may have acquired the basic literacy but
that is not enough for them to qualify for pursuing higher education especially
if they go back to formal schools. The quality education is at risk. They may
have learned the basics of education but then again, in our current society
wherein it is very competitive, the need for higher education is still the
demand to qualify for jobs. But then again ALS is still a great help for only
getting the basic knowledge and it’s up to the learners on how to cope up the
lessons and compete in college to have a more good and decent jobs in the
future.
