PROCEDURE MEETING THE

STUDENT’S NEEDS
I. INTRODUCTION: (5 minutes) Teacher Tip:
Communicate learning objectives
1. Introduce the following learning objectives using the suggested
protocols (Verbatim, Own Words, Read-aloud)
a. I can explain the value of doing philosophy in obtaining a broad
perspective in life.
b. I can give an example on a concrete situation from a holistic
perspective.

Review
 Can you still recall during your previous discussion may it in
Mathematics, Science and other subject areas, Philosophy is
always integrated and the name of philosophers are
mentioned? Can you help me recall the name of philosophers’
dear students, who are they?

II. MOTIVATION (5 minutes) Teacher Tip:

 Video presentation(mind boggling – question and they provide
me a word)
When the word philosophy is mentioned what specific word that you can
associate to the term?
In short, the moment we begin to ask, to inquire, to question, to
rationalize, to wonder, we are philosophizing. We are doing philosophy.
III. INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY (50 minutes) Teacher Tip:
 Power point presentation

IV. PRACTICE (30 minutes) The teacher act as a

Group Activity facilitator of learning.
I would like to group yourselves into four. Get a leader and a secretary.
Apply Philosophy by asking question and find a solution to your question
and present that one afterwards. Group 1 will discuss about Academic
(School Life). Group 2 is tasked to answer about going to Church
(Spiritual Life). Group 3 will talk about their life in the Community
(Social Life) and Group 4 will discuss about the result of Local Election
(Political Aspect)

What are you going to report afterwards is the question you have
formulated and the answer to your question…


V. ENRICHMENT (movie presentation)
Let us watch a 1-minute presentation to summarize it all…

Doing Philosophy then is asking basic and complex questions. But it does
not end there. We are going to process and analyse the question to come
up with a good answer. And that is what philosophy is all about.
