Cultural implications on Education
Cultures differ and one should not judge
another culture by using his own culture as
basis.
Travel, education, and reading about other
societies are ways of bringing about tolerance
and understanding between nations.
With more diffusion between cultures, one
global society may result. Unity in spite of
diversity
Cultural implications on Education
Since culture is made by man himself, he
should develop worthwhile values and weed
out those beliefs, mores, superstitions, etc.
that are detrimental to progress.
Since culture changes, the change should be
for the better and society should decide
what those changes should be.
The home, the school and the church should
guard against borrowing from other cultures
things that are against the Philippine way of
life.
Technology on education
The contemporary teacher must be
familiar with the new educational
technologies for delivering quality
teaching
Educational technology can benefit our
country in enhancing education through
providing assistance to students learning,
teacher productivity and by making
schools more effective instruments of
change.
Implication of language and speech
to education
A major tool to learning and basic
requirement to interpersonal
relationships.
Means of preserving cultural heritage.
Criterion that differentiates the educated
from the uneducated.
The more languages a person knows, the
better educated he is and the easier he
can adjust to other people.
