Development Of An Augustinian Recollect Whole Learner Framework As A School Transformation Model

Abstract

This study explores the integration of the Filipino Whole Learner into the Augustinian Recollect learner attributes to develop a School Transformation Model for Augustinian Recollect schools in the Philippines, utilizing the pedagogy of St. Augustine and the axiomatic theory fusion as theoretical frameworks. Using a mixed-methods approach that includes both Focused Group Discussions with administrators, teachers, and students and a survey of 300 students, the study found that the Filipino Whole Learner can be successfully integrated into the Augustinian Recollect learner attributes, which emphasizes a values-oriented approach to education. Proper implementation is necessary to ensure that the programs align with the intended practices of the attributes, as defined by the Augustinian Recollect education system. The study suggests that the Augustinian Recollect Whole Learner framework can serve as a school transformation model for other Filipino schools. The framework prioritizes a holistic approach to education and the development of interiority, innovation, inclusion, instruction, and involvement in learners. By utilizing the axiomatic theory fusion as a method for merging different knowledge and entities, the Filipino Whole Learner practices and implementation can be seamlessly integrated into the existing system. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into developing a learner-centered approach to education in the context of Philippine schools facing constant challenges and changes, using the pedagogy of St. Augustine and axiomatic theory fusion as a strong theoretical foundation that takes into account the unique needs and characteristics of Filipino learners.
