EDUCATION AS SPIRITUAL OPERATION AND

EDUCATION AS AN INALIENABLE RIGHT

JULIUS M. FRIALES


EDUCATION: as a Spiritual Operation:
Education which takes place in the teaching learning process requires
the use of intelligence and free will that are, in themselves, spiritual
faculties for they belong to the human rational soul which is a Spirit.
Thinking, willing, reasoning and doing which proceed from said
faculties are spiritual operations. These are express however through
bodily order such as:

- use of mouth, hands, central nervous system and other bodily
parts in discussing and explaining lessons.

- use of eyes, ears, brain and other bodily parts in listening,
reciting, studying and so on. Hence , the bodily activity of the education
indicates a spiritual elements.
Education is a sharing in Gods spiritual activity which all spiritual
operation in bodily existence mirror.
The Knowlegde, character and skills imbibed along the process of
education also resemble the divine wisdom of God from whom all forms of
human wisdom emanate.
In truest sense, Education ushers man finally towards God, the ultimate
source of wisdom.

EDUCATION: An Inalienable Right
An inalienable right - is that which cannot justly be taken away for it is anchored and
founded in human nature.
The demand of education is anchored and founded on human nature.
Human nature tends towards its growth and fullness.
Growth and fullness takes place in the operations of the rational faculties
inscribed therein, constantly tending towards there objects: the knowledge of
truth and the freedom of the will for good.
Education plunges into these operations to be of service in the acquisition of said
objects without which human growth and fullness may not be realized.
The need for education manifests within mans natural propensity to come to the
knowledge of truth that should not and can not be separated from man in the
tendency of his nature for said growth and fullness. It is the right that is
inalienable.

THE CREDIBILITY OF RESEARCH
The discussion on research design has been the issue of the credibility of
research findings. This neatly expressed by Raimond when he subjects
findings to the how do I know? test.
Reducing the possibility of getting the answer wrong means that attention
has to be paid to two particular emphasis on research design: reliability
and validity.

Reliability
- refers to the extent to which your data collection techniques or analysis
procedures will yield consistent findings. It can be assessed by posing the following
three questions ( Easterby-Smith et al. 2008).
1. Will the measured yield the same results on other occasions?
2. Will similar observations be reach by others observers?
3. Is there transparency in how sense was made from the raw data?

Threats to reliability
Robson (2002) asserts that there may be four threats to reliability.
1. Subject t or participants error
2. Subject or participants bias
3. observer error
4. observer bias
Validity
- is concerned with whether the findings are really about what they appear to be
about.

1. Describe the different relationships in Educational Management. Explain their ethical
and non-ethical effect.
1.1. The professional relationship pertains to the bonding, affection of an
individual in an association who shares the same and or similar practice of
occupation. It could developed an ethical relationship by developing rapport to
their company, it builds trust and confidence in every member of the
association. It also inspire and transparency towards work and show positive
regards and respect with each other. But sometimes it has been mis
interpreted by other people leading to the destructions of the relationship of
each member of the organization.
1.2. Educator-Learner Relationship may established in reference to the educators
primary task of ensuring genuine transfer of learning. The educator serve as a
facilitator of the process and the learners assumes the role being a recipient
of learning. It is better to help the learners but sometimes there are educators
who took advantage the immaturity of the young.
1.3. Educator and Superior Relationship, such that the relationship of the teachers
and the School head. It is nice to have a harmonious relationship with our
superior, helping each other for the good and betterment of the School and
the students. There are case sometime that the teacher abused the kindness
of the school head and sometime the school abuses the kindness of the
teacher resulting to destruction of relationship among members of the faculty
and staff.
1.4. The Educator and Parent Relationship which is very important factor to the
continuous learning of the students, where the parents and teachers have a
direct and continuous consultation to each other regarding the students
performance in school. Unfortunately this may lead to the controversy
between the teacher and parents because of some people who have a
malicious mind.
1.5. The Educator and the Society Relationship, in which teachers may build a
good rapport to each member of the community, but sometimes people acts
as what as what you are or some they act more than what you are making the
teacher take a little distance from them resulting them to get angry with the
teacher.

2. Compare and contrast spirituality from leadership with reverence. Discuss their
influence in educational management.
In my own point of view, I compare spirituality and leadership with
reverence in the sense that the leadership is the gift of spirituality in which
a good leader is following what is in its spiritual well- being, doing things in
accordance with the Gods will. Following Gods will is an execution of
spiritual action thus a good leadership must also have. In contrast to the
opinion, leadership focusing on its own point of interest, leadership on its
own way which does not act in accordance to Gods will, will not be
executing spiritual actions. How strong spirituality we have embraced but
still having an leadership of our own way may still be possible as long as it
is beneficial to the society, is good. But there are cases in which
leadership may harm people because of its own self- interest. In other
words, if the spirituality and leadership go hand and hand, it must be
beneficial to everybody especially in education. But if the leadership will
contradict with the spirituality it will be beneficial to some but not to all.

3. When can good practice in education be consider good and ethical?
It could be considered good and ethical if everyone could benefit. All clients
are entitled to good standards of practice and care from their practitioner in
counseling and they should consider carefully their own need for continuing
professional development and engage in an appropriate educational activities.
Good ethical practice is good professional practice which is good risk
management. It is consider good and ethical when doing it righteously and have
a good yield. In other words a good teacher doing his/her job in a right way will
produce a good, well disciplined, developed, fruitful, progressive and well
competitive students.

4. Why ethics is necessary in Educational Management? Describe the ethical and
injurious practice in Education.
Ethics is necessary to the Educational Management because this is the basis on
how we run the institution specially when we are the managers. Whatever move
we want to, it should be guided with good action so that we will not get out from
it. When dealing with people we are also dealing with good ethics. We should
remember always deal people rightly, they will also responding good actions in
return. We are mature enough to foresee the consequences of everything did
right or wrong. If it is right the consequence is good, if we did wrong we are
expecting of the bad consequence in return. In education the ethical practices
based on my own opinion, are those practices which could help upgrade the
quality of education do we have. Programs, innovations that could enhance the
quality education resulting to have a more competitive and fruitful students. The
injurious practices in education are those individual actions which lead to the
deterioration of quality in education, especially those educators that they work
only for their own good not for the good of the students. They will only wanted to
received salary but they are not doing their job well, resulting to have students
who are non- reader, some could read but cannot comprehend because
teachers did not give focus on it.

5. What work ethics would you like your students to develop? Justify your answer.
For me the work ethics that I would like my students to develop is the character
because this is the most important factor in which individual will become successful to
their carrier, where ever we go the most important is to uphold our character one of
which is honesty. This is one of the most important element in our life because for me,
this is the front line as a human being that people should look unto us. An honest
individual is being trusted by somebody elsewhere. Individual felt being trusted by
others will also fell true happiness. Being honest individual, people in our surroundings
have a feeling of security for everything . Like for example in the school, teachers are
looking for an honest students because what ever task entrusted to him/her will be
done honestly. In business, the owner may also look for somebody whom being trusted
especially in handling money matters. In the field of education, the managers are also
wanted to have people might be entrusted for everything, because they believed that
he/she can do it honestly without asking for something in return. If we do our job
honestly, people in higher positions may impressed and believe on us. They will give
us opportunities that may lead us to move up in our in our professions. Honest person
is loyal and willing to accept responsibilities that could make him/her fully developed,
morally upright and most especially progressive and fruitful individual.

Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Research is sometimes thought to be concerned only with the physical
phenomena that man cannot do away with these things because the physical
phenomena have domain properly emphasized on material causes and effects. It is true
the material factors are the bases which effects mans life because men are more
materialistic than idealistic. However man has to be balance his spiritual and material
gifts. If spiritual and material service should go hand in hand, research can be smoothly
conducted.
Research includes how to reduce his burden of work, how to relieve sufferings,
and how to increase satisfaction in fulfilling our needs, cravings, and aspirations. To
solve this need and problem a researcher will conduct a study using qualitative methods
of research to ensure its effectiveness.
The conduct of qualitative methods research is of great value to man. Through
qualitative methods of research, the quality of mans life has improved from
conventional to modern, hence life becomes not only meaningful but enriching as well.
Therefore, man must be a dreamer and ambitious, but he must be industrious to
achieve his dreams.


Conceptual Framework
Figure 1 shows the conceptual framework of the study. The independent variable
presented is the qualitative methods of research. It is used to determine my perception
as dependent variable, which serves as the basis to determine the significant
relationship in my perception on the qualitative methods of research. The line towards it
from the independent variable indicates that the way or the other the independent
variable could predict my perception.

Very difficult to use









Figure 1. The Conceptual Framework of the Study
Statement of the problem
This study will be conducted to find out my perception on the use of qualitative
methods of research to conduct study.
Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:
1. What is my perception on the qualitative methods of research?
2. How do I assess the use of qualitative methods of research in the conduct of the
study?
3. What is the impact of using qualitative methods of research in the conduct of the
study?

Hypothesis:
1. There is no significant relationship in my perception on qualitative methods of
research.

Significance of the Study
This study is important to the teachers because the useful and relevant
information acquired from the study will help them continue theirs works as educators.
Through this the students will also be given the opportunity to be part of the of the
study conducted by the teachers for their development and progress.
This study is also significant to the school administrators for their continuous
search for the best managerial acts for them to become more effective managers of the
school.
The result hopefully, will give value to the parents, stakeholders, and to the whole
community because they will understand that through research it could bring a great
benefits to every individual as they go along with their journey in facing trials and
challenges that may overcome.
Finally this study will also be the basis of assessing how qualitative methods of
research will become more effective and usable to every individual as they look for the
solutions of their daily problems may encounter.

Scope and Delimitation
This study is limited to my perception on the qualitative methods of research
which I know the best way in conducting research work.
The main focus of the study is to find out the significant relationship in my
perception on the qualitative methods of research that could be used in the conduct of
the study later.

Definition of Terms
To have a common understanding of the important terms used in the study, they
were operationally defined as follows:
Perception insight, or future outlook of a person.
Method refer to a process or way of doing something you want.
Research means looking for something you want to obtain.
Quality is refer to a degree of excellence.
Qualitative - relating to or involving quality.
Chapter III
METHODOLOGY

This chapter deals with the research design, locale of the study, respondents of
the study with its specific description and the population, the data gathering instrument
and the data gathering procedures on how the study was conducted.

Research Design
This study used a qualitative methods of research to study my perception on
qualitative methods of research. It determine the significant relationship on my
perception on the qualitative methods of research in which the dependent variable is my
perception and the qualitative methods of research is the independent variable.

Respondents and Locale of the study
The respondents of the study involve only my self as a researcher whom I
wanted to explore the used of qualitative methods of research in conducting research
work in the future. This research was conducted only to San Jose National High School
where I worked.

Sampling Technique
This study was conducted using the non- scientific sampling specifically the
incidental sampling technique where I myself as researcher can only be considered as
the most available respondent in my study to get the desired output.

Data Gathering Instrument
The data gathering instrument used is a checklist comprises different questions
whom I myself can answer and give accurate responses about the question which I
design until I reach the desired answer to my own problem.
To ensure the validity and reliability of the instrument, I requested three of my
language expert teachers to check the said questions for consistency, and they
themselves answered the said questions before I answered it for my reference.

Data Gathering Procedures
Since I, as researcher was the only respondent of my study, it is very easy for me
to facilitate the flow of the conduct of research work. The researcher respondent did a
very careful and systematic way of delivering responses to ensure the consistency and
accurate responses in my perception on the qualitative methods of research
The data were organized, analyzed, and interpreted after it has been gathered to
determine the significant relationship in my perception on the qualitative methods of
research.






Chapter IV
PRESENTATION OF DATA, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter present and the discuss the findings of the study, analysis and
interpretation of the data gathered to answer to the specific questions proposed by the
problem and to provide evidence for rejection or acceptance of the null hypothesis
raised in the statement of the problem.
The data were presented sequentially according to the order of the formulated
statement of the problem.














During the thorough analysis and simultaneous careful giving of responses
regarding my perception on the qualitative methods of research, I finally found out that it
is very easy to use qualitative methods of research in the conduct of the research study
in the sense that it is purely giving a narrative descriptions of the result of investigations
done during the conduct of the study.
As I go further with my responses, I really appreciate the use of qualitative
methods of research in conducting research work because as a researcher, It could
really developed the sense of eagerness to find out the accurate and consistent
responses which could be presented and expressed narratively free from our mind and
heart. It could also allow us to think more that could make our mind actively functional in
giving ideas to be presented, hence it is narratively presented. This is how do I assess
the use of qualitative methods of research in the conduct of the research study.
As I observe during my investigation and analysis about my research study the
impact of using qualitative methods of research is better, because it is done
systematically and it could give better and consistent responses as it goes further
investigations and analysis. Its has a good impact to researcher in the sense that, the
researcher itself could immediately give his own ideas about the problem without any
use of statistical treatment.





Chapter V
SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary
This study was conducted to find out the significant relationship of my perception
on the qualitative methods of research which we use in the conduct of the research
work.
This study is very important to the students, teachers and administrators because the
information which we obtain from this study will help them continue for their search for
an innovative process for the continuous changes they wanted to acquire.
This is also necessary for the society so that they become aware of the
continuous changes that they will experience now a days due to the research studies of
an experts individuals.
This study will also be the basis of assessing our performance in doing very
simple solving of problems that may arise a from day to day living.

Findings
We are now aware of some method of solving our problem using qualitative
methods of research. As I present the result of my study regarding my perception on the
qualitative methods of research, I may now strongly agree that the use of the qualitative
methods of research is much better because it helps us developed our thinking skills
and systematic way of presenting our ideas.

Conclusions
Based on my study, I therefore conclude that, using qualitative methods of
research is easy and very much better because it has a great influence to developed
our thinking ability, reasoning power and most especially it developed us to present our
ideas systematically.

Recommendations
It can be seen in the findings and conclusions of the study, it is only imperative
for the researcher of the study to recommend the following: 1.) conduct the same study
in some other localities, 2.) encourage researchers to use the qualitative methods of
research in conducting research studies to develop their thinking skills and reasoning
power. 3.) Expose other researcher to some research work using qualitative methods
for them to be expert on this field of study.

QUALITATIVE METHODS OF RESEARCH

















Chapter II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Research Methods and Thesis Writing are vital subjects in the undergraduate
and graduate curricula. But majority of the students enrolled in Research Methods and
Thesis Writing find difficulty to write a research paper proposal and thesis due to vague
explanation by research professors and thesis advisers and unavailability of simplified
book in Research and Thesis Writing. In turn thesis writers back out to write a thesis
and settle to a secondary purpose to complete the academic requirements only for
salary adjustment.
In qualitative methods of research, there are different focuses, one of which is
The Qualitative Research: Focus on Phenomenology (Espadero E. )2014, try to help
get at the world that exist prior to our conceptualizing it. The LIFE WORLD of
experience as lived by them. We begin with the NAVE, PRE-THEORITICAL, PRE-
THEMATIZED, PRE-REFLECTED UPON world of the subject.
Another focus on the Qualitative Methods of Research is The G rounded
Theory: A specific methodology developed by Glaser and Strauss (1967) for the
purpose of building theory from data. In their book the term grounded theory is used in
more sense to denote theoretical construct derived from qualitative,( Corbin & Strauss,
2008) as stated by (Ventura, 2014).



MY PERCEPTION ON THE QUALITATIVE METHODS
OF RESEARCH

A B S T R A C T

Education is a lifetime process that a person needs to embrace not only to its
personal benefit but also to influence other people in order to become more developed
and progressive individual for the future. To realize and overcome these aspect of our
life, the school which is considered as our second home is responsible in planning what
actions should be done in order to cater this situation.
People think before, that the teachers and school head are the one who are
responsible for the success of every individual. But then, today it is the whole
community who are reliable to the success or failures of the young.
The Department of Education is strongly implemented the joint effort of the
stakeholders and the school to run the institution hand in hand to make the students
become more inspired to continue and finish their studies.
In this study it has been emphasized the purposed of the involvement of the
stakeholders through the School Governing Council with the School Base
Management. The researcher wanted to see the impact of the joint effort of the school
and the School Governing Council in Managing the School.






The questions that I want to ask about my research study are
the following:
1. What is the role of the School Governing Council in the
School-Base Management?
The role of the School Governing Council in the School-Base
Management is a PROVIDER.

2. How do the School Governing Council help in Managing the
School?
As a provider, the School Governing Council provide the school what
they need, such as school facilities, classrooms. Computers, water
facilities and others which the students can be used for learning. The
School Governing Council are the one who look for other linkages to
ask support in order to cater the needs of the school.
