Epekto ng Sistema ng Edukasyong Ipinatutupad Ng Mga Amerikano

 


  Ang sistema ng edukasyon at mga paaralan ay ang pinakamahalagang nagawa ng mga Amerikano sa Pilipinas. Nakapagtaguyod sila ng sistema ng pampublikong edukasyong iba sa mga Espanyol. Hindi sila nakatuon sa buhay ng walang hanggang pagkamatay ng tao kundi sa mga buhay ng mga tao. 

MGA EPEKTO NG PROGRAMANG EDUKASYONG PAMPUBLIKO
 NG MGA AMERIKANO

  1. Lumaki ang bahagdan ng mga mamamayan na natutong bumasa at sumulat. Bawat bata mula sa edad na 7 ay kinailangang mairehistro sa mga paaralan na matatagpuan sa sarili nilang bayan o lalawigan. Ang mga mag-aaral ay binigyan ng libreng mga gamit sa paaralan. May tatlong antas ng edukasyon noong panahon ng Amerika. Ang antas ng elementarya ay binubuo ng apat na pangunahing taon at 3 intermediate taon. Ang pangalawa o mataas na antas ng paaralan ay binubuo ng apat na taon; at ang pangatlo ang kolehiyo o tertiary. Ang relihiyon ay hindi bahagi ng kurikulum ng mga paaralan gaya ng dati sa panahon ng Espanyol.
  2. Naging pangunahing wika ng edukasyon at pamamahayag ang wikang Ingles. Ang pagtuturo sa wikang Ingles, at kasaysayan ng Amerika, ay humahantong sa pagbubuo ng pambansang identidad at nasyonalismong Pilipino.
  3. Paglaganap ng kaalaman sa  pag-aalaga ng kalusugan at pagpapanatili ng kalinisan upang makaiwas sa sakit. 
  4. Pagkatatag ng Edukasyong Sekular, ang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (1908).
  5. Pagkatatag ng mga Institusyong Pang-akademya ng mga Sekta ng Relihiyon at Pribadong Mga Pamantasan.
    •  Protestante- Silliman University sa Dumaguete sa isla ng Negros (1901) 
    •  Far Eastern University at University of Manila.
    •  Mga Unibersidad Para Sa mga Kababaihan kagaya ng Centro Escolar University at Philippine Women’s University.
  6. Pag-usbong ng mga babaeng propesyonal sa larangan ng Medisina,      Abogasya  at Edukasyon.

Eureka, Eureka

Long ago in the kingdom of Syracuse, there was a great struggle for power. King Heiro finally won the rights to the kingdom. He wanted to pay tribute to the gods and commissioned the forging of a great golden crown. The kind carefully weighed and gave a precious amount of gold to the goldsmith. 
The goldsmith designed a beautiful crown of golden leaves for the king. The king was very impressed. He marveled at the crown, he weight to make sure all of the gold was used. The weight was the same as the punt that had been given to the goldsmith.
Later the king began to suspect that the goldsmith had mixed the gold with silver and and had not used all the gold that was given to him. He believed this to be true but had no way to prove it. King Heiro called upon his friend Archimedes to help him solve his problem. Archimedes knew the answer lied in the density of the metals. Since density is a physical property each had it's own specific density. Although a lump of gold and silver can be thesame size a lump of gold is twice as heavy as thesame size lump.of silver. Silver is lighter that gold. 
He knew all these facts but he did not know how to find the density of the crown. While pondering on the matter, he decided to soak in the bathtub. He did his best thinking while soaking in the tub. He headed for the public bathto relax and think. While on the way he made a mental list of the facts. Mass can be determined easily simply place the crown on a scale. But it's volume, well that was a bit tougher. He arrived at the bath house just as a tub was filled to the brim. When he stepped into the tub some of the water spoiled out. The more he sank into the tub the more water spilled out. He realized that the amount that spilled ouist be exactly the same value as him. 
All of the sudden Archimedes had a right idea. As of a light bulb flashed on on his mind. He had the solution to the King's problem. He was so excited and happy. In those days to disappoint a king could mean a loss of one's head. He began running through the streets without his clothes shouting, " Eureka, Eureka! " ( Eureka is the Greek word for " I Found it" )
Archimedes made two masses. The same mass as the crown, one in gold and one in silver. He then filled two containers to the brim with water. The amount of water that spilled out of each container was equal to the volume of each of the lumps. This is called the displacement method of calculating volume.
The amount of water displaced by the gold was less than that displaced by the silver. He filled one more vessel and stopped in the crown. Archimedes found that more water was lost with the crown than with pure gold. He calculated the crown was not made of pure gold. The goldsmith was punished for cheating the king. 
Archimedes used the formula for density to solve the kings problem.
Density= Mass / Volume
