Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world we live in. Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models” which we use to make sense of our own experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences.

The Reasons for British Hegemony 1. This relatively sudden rush of land grab and the rise of the East India Company could not have happened without the a great deal of Indian (and Sinhalese) support
Factional divisions fatally weakened what efforts there were at Indian resistance. Most people accepted Company control either because they benefited from it as merchants, bankers, collaborators, agents or employees or because they saw it as preferable to control by the Mughals, the Marathas or any of the local rulers, whose records were not attractive. 4. Most contemporary Indian states were oppressive, taxing merchants and peasants unmercifully and often arbitrarily while at the same time failing to keep order, suppress banditry, maintain roads and basic services or administer justice acceptably
5. Revenues went disproportionately to support court extravagances and armies, which spent their energy more in interregional conflict than in genuine defense.
That was enough to win Indian support.

Makabayan is the learning area that lays most stress on the development of social awareness, empathy and a firm commitment to our common goal as a nation.
It entails the use of integrated units, which enable the individual to personally process, assimilate and systematically practice wide range of values and life skills including work ethic.
Makabayan is a learning area of the 2002 Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) which is a restructure of the New Elementary School Curriculum (NESC) and the New Secondary School Curriculum (NSEC). The BEC aims to raise the quality of Filipino learners and graduates and empower them for lifelong learning which requires the attainment of functional literacy.(Department of Education, BEC Primer). MAKABAYAN is said to be a “laboratory of life” or a practice environment. It is a learning area that is experiential, interactive, interdisciplinary and value-laden. It is the learning area that provides the Filipino learner the quality time to demonstrate practical knowledge and skills of empathy, vocational efficiency and problem solving in daily life. Love of country serves as the unifying principle for the diverse values in this learning area, thus it is called pagkakabayan or makabayan for short.
Environmental education is intended for all types of learners, students, out-of-school youth, community leaders, policy makers and the general public to develop appropriate environment-related skills
These goals, expectations and competencies of Makabayan were taken from the Philippine Secondary Schools Learning Competencies,(PSSLC) DECS, Bureau of Secondary Education.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded
on the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences,
we construct our own understanding of the world we
live in. Each of us generates our own “rules” and
“mental models” which we use to make sense of our
own experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the
process of adjusting our mental models to
accommodate new experiences.
3. Guiding Principles of Constructivism:
1. Learning is a search for meaning. Therefore, learning
must start with the issues around which students are
actively trying to construct meaning.
2. Meaning requires understanding wholes as well as
parts. And parts must be understood in the context
of wholes. Therefore, the learning process focuses on
primary concepts, not isolated facts.
4. 3. In order to teach well, we must understand the
mental models that the students use to perceive the
world and the assumptions they make to support those
models.
4. The purpose of learning is for an individual to
construct his or her own meaning, not just memorize
the "right” answers and regurgitate someone else's
meaning. Since education is inherently
interdisciplinary, the only valuable way to measure
learning is to make the assessment part of the learning
process, ensuring it provides students with information
on the quality of learning.
5. Five Principles of Constructivist Learning
Posing problems of emerging relevance to
learners
Seeking and valuing student's points of view
Structuring learning around primary concepts
Adapting curriculum to address students
suppositions
Assessing students learning in the context of
teaching
6. Constructivist Approach to the Teaching
Social Studies:
a) Curriculum emphasizes big concepts, beginning with
the whole and expanding to include the parts
b) Pursuit of student questions and interests is valued
c) Materials include primary sources of material and
manipulative materials
d) Learning is interactive, building on what the student
already knows.
7. e) Teacher's have the dialogue with students, helping
students construct their own knowledge.
f) Teacher's role is interactive, rooted in negotiation.
g) Assessment includes student works, observation,
and points of view, as well as tests. Process is as
important as product.
h) Knowledge is seen as dynamic, over changing with
experiences.
I) Students work primarily in groups – collaborative
learning.
