Utilitarianism by Herbert Spencer

- This philosophy aims to educate students to be useful individuals in the society. Utilitarianism
also targets to secure students holistically in the future. This implies that students under
guidance of this philosophy should be flexible and adaptive on to different environment he/she
may face in the future. Spencer also introduced the statement “Survival of the fittest”
- Utilitarianism can be applied in a classroom through different activities that will develop
students to be useful in the society. Different simulations can be useful such as teaching
demonstration or sample job interview. Activities in classrooms that will improve interpersonal
communication skills (speeches, essays, etc.), computer skills (Basic Microsoft, utilization of LMS,
etc.) critical thinking and problem solving skills (math models, researches, word problems,
simulations, etc.) can also be used under utilitarianism since this will be helpful for the students
in the future for them to be adaptive and useful in the society that we live in.
