TEACHING AND Teaching methodologies may
METHODOLOGIES include a combination of
traditional and modern approaches.
Traditional methods often involve
teacher-centered instruction, where
the teacher imparts knowledge to
students through lectures and direct
instruction. On the other hand,
modern approaches emphasize
student-centered learning, active
participation, and critical thinking.
These approaches aim to develop
students’ cognitive and affective
domains.
ASSESSMENT AND Canadian education places a strong
EVALUATION emphasis on assessment for
learning, where assessments are
used primarily to gauge students'
understanding and provide
feedback for improvement.
Teachers use formative
assessments such as quizzes, class
discussions, and projects to guide
instruction and help students learn.
In Canada, holistic evaluation
considers not only academic
achievement but also students'
critical thinking, problem-solving
abilities, creativity, and social
skills.

Teaching methodologies
are influenced by a focus
on inclusivity, diversity,
and student engagement.
Educators often employ a
variety of strategies such as
project-based learning,
cooperative learning, and
inquiry-based learning.
These methods encourage
students to actively
participate in their own
learning process and
develop problem-solving
skills.
The Philippines has
historically had a more
examination-centric
approach to assessment and
evaluation. High-stakes
standardized tests, such as
the National Achievement
Test (NAT) and college
entrance exams, play a
significant role in students'
academic lives.
EDUCATIONAL Canada's education system is
PROGRAMS structured into three main levels:
elementary/primary education,
secondary education, and post-
secondary education. Each
province and territory in Canada
have its own education system and
curriculum, resulting in some
variability in programs.
TRENDS Canada has been placing a
significant emphasis on Science,
Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) education to
prepare students for careers in
STEM-related fields, given the
growing importance of these
industries.
The Philippine education
system is divided into three
main levels: basic
education (K-12), higher
education, and technical-
vocational education. Basic
education consists of six
years of elementary school
and six years of high
school.
There has been a growing
recognition of the
importance of 21st-century
skills, such as critical
thinking, creativity, and
communication, in the
Philippines. Educational
reforms aim to integrate
these skills into the
curriculum.
