Educational Autobiography : Philosophy, Philosophy And Philosophy Of Education

My education started not long after I was born in 1989. I attended Ruth Washburn Nursery School, for 3 years, but I don’t have a lot of memories of what I learned. 3 things stand out to me. This was a place of great fun!! I learned how to love running. I could run for ages. Secondly the plecostomus’s were the coolest fish in the fish tank! Lastly I remember the song that goes, “Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.”

Over the past eighteen years I have been alive, there have not been any real challenges I have faced in my pursuit of education. I come from a family of immigrants that managed to find themselves a good life, away from the ghetto and the poverty line, through hard work. Both my parents had to move to a place away from everything they knew to learn English as a second language to give their children, myself included, a better chance at life, and I can gladly say their effort was not in vain. If there was one thing I struggled with in pursuit of my education, it would have to be myself.

Education is the key to the success of student’s in school today there are philosophies that structure the way an educator direct the class. Essentialism is one of the key concept focuses in school system first following the standard curriculum is important to implement on the journey for higher learning if it is achieved than the success rate will be greater. Teachers are designed to obtain knowledge from attending college, workshops and other resources by learning from these

This paper is my personal educational philosophy statement. It represents my ideas and values about teaching and learning; it reveals my personal teaching beliefs and their relation to the five major established educational philosophies; it shows my role and responsibilities in educational process. I place great significance on personal style of instruction and its influence on curriculum implementation. The paper also highlights my career aspiration and orientation.

The first catholic school was started in 1845 by two lay people Mary and Michael Bourke. Now 200 years later catholic education is taught to 74,000 students in over 150 schools. This is due to a major change that occurred in the 1960s and 1970s, population growth, increased reputation and the formation of systems in catholic schools. (bne.catholic.edu.au) Catholic education is regulated by the Archbishop through Archdiocesan guidelines for religious education. Many people support and live their lives through catholic religion.

I cannot describe what Catholic Education means to me currently without recalling what it once meant to me. Catholic Education meant different things to me at different stages of my life.

A lot of people think education is just something you get in school, but in reality education comes from different places and people not just school and teachers. For example, way before I started school I was already being educated by my parents, they taught me how to eat, behave, use the bathroom, talk, and a lot of other things that help out in life.

I completed an educational interview with two age group of people. The first age group was 71 years of age and the second age group was 55 years of age. During my interview, I asked each individual several questions concerning their educational experience.

"Some people make things happen, some watch while things happen, and some wonder ‘what happened?’ Which type of person are you?" author unknown.

My Catholic education has been a huge part of my life. There are so many things St. Cecilia has taught me through the nine years I have been there. My Catholic education helps me to learn about my faith. It also helps me to grow closer to God and develop a stronger personal relationship with him. It also allows me to express myself by serving others.

Since the first day that I walked into the Manogue cafeteria, I could see that things would be different. Unlike my past experiences at public school, I witnessed compassion. This, I have come to realize, is the foundation of Catholic education.

My education was based on rules , norms , moral and civil obligations at very young age. These are the mission, philosophy and foundation of Catholic’s education that I grow up with. I can honestly say that being educated under these principles that helped me to adopt an invaluable concept of discipline and responsibility. I can be anything more than grateful to spend twelve years of my life learning from outstanding teachers and Nuns. I enjoyed coming to school every singled day. As I am here writing these words, my memories come to life. We have diversity in our school faculty , these teachers and Nuns made our learning experiences more interesting. I remember having two different coaches in my PE class, one was the coolest Sor. Maria she was the coolest Nun ever, and Professor Rodrigo. We have religion teachers, in some cases there were Nuns, but not always. Teacher that was qualified was able to teach religions as well. We had a full curriculum , with all the subjects possible to learn including , music, craft and art.

For most of my life, I have been formally educated at private, Catholic schools in the mid-west. I have also experienced more informal education in the form of my classmates, teammates, and co-workers. In general, I feel very fortunate to have received the wonderful education offered at the various Catholic schools that I have attended; however, I feel somewhat unfortunate to have had limited educational experience with other religions, cultures, and socioeconomic groups because of that education. My informal education has been more diverse than my formal education, and I feel fortune to have had my informal education because it has given me more insight into the varying viewpoints of society. The most challenging portion of my education comes from my formal education: my junior year American Literature class.

In this introduction to philosophy course, when i taken the course what i was though that about the philosophy was that is related to Individual’s ways. How to examining every situation happening with thing has different philosophical approach in life attending at the first few sessions came to know about that What I think about philosophy is something different way. In the major part of the Philosophy is deals with arguments and counter statements I know a lot of things about during this sessions philosophy means study of general and fundamentals problems. I learned how to think philosophically and how to argument in philosophy. I also encountered the philosophical concepts and through the ideas that which i have not thought about them. Philosophy is nothing but whatever is happen or going around us and around the world.

The learning experience should be that of a collective nature where students are able to indiscriminately relate to the information, re-teach the information and have a balanced incorporation of all the learning centers in society; including the home and the church. The goal of this incorporation is to create a balanced learning environment that facilitates holistic development in the young mind. As professionals entrusted with the shaping of young minds, teachers must facilitate learning and personal, spiritual, ethical and academic development. My philosophy for education is a multi-part philosophy that encapsulates the idea of holistic and inclusive learning. The philosophy caters for the overall shaping and development of the young mind and includes aspects of balanced training, incorporated teachings and it generally focuses on training students to become teachers.
