My Education

It is my conviction that the meaning of life does not dwell in the length of time that one can live or the material abundance that one can acquire, but in the richness and the wonderfulness of life itself. With the increase of my age, many things in my life have changed. But one thing remains constant, that is, I will consistently insist on doing what I like to do and hope that my endeavors can be valuable to the life of others. I see this as the only way whereby I can realize the value of my life

different philosophy of education, and what purpose education serves in a child’s life. The five philosophies of education that we recognize are: Essentialism, Perennialism, Progressivism, Social Reconstructionism, and Existentialism. I would most recognize my philosophy of education as Essentialism. Essentialism has been a dominant influence in American education since World War II. It focuses on core curriculum of traditional academic topics. I believe that the purpose of education is teaching students

Throughout my education, I had so many challenges I had to overcome. Dealing with school, personal life, and sports. Dealing with all of these problems has shaped me up as a person. I know now how to work for what I want, nothing is handed to me in life. That is something everyone needs to know, and now I know. My school life as been very confusing. I struggled a lot with all of my classes and all of the classes homeworks. I didn’t let that stop me from doing good. No matter if I had to stay up

Compulsory Education In this paper, I am going to examine and compare my views on education to the great philosophers Aristotle, Socrates and Plato. Education should not be something forced on people from a very young age. We are educating our children to be master test takers who conform to the norm and not to think outside the box. My position is supported by Socrates in Plato 's The Republic and Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics, Book II. Because students waste too much time

My Philosophy of Education When trying coming up with a personal philosophy of education, I had to ask myself what the purpose of education is. To me, the purpose of education is to teach students knowledge that is needed to make it through school and to succeed in the world after graduation. Anyone can go into teaching, but not every teacher can teach. Teachers go above and beyond to introduce methods, philosophies, and strategies to help their students learn, as well as, retain the information

Education is defined as the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university (Education, n.d.). My philosophy of education is inspired by my mother’s experience as an educator. My mother used to give attention to each student and treated each student with love and care. Students used to share their personal and professional problems with her because she used to understand her students. Students used to love my mother’s method of teaching, and my mother

Now that we have outlined what Plato’s Pedagogy contains, I shall now proceed to ask myself if my education meets Socrates’s standards. The following information will cover any intentional or random education I received, the discrimination against specific materials in my life, and the role of fear and pain in my learning. Each section will loosely follow the age groups of which Socrates explained in his pedagogy. The age groups will include, 0-5 years, 5-10 years, 10-15 years, and 15 years of age

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” What does it really mean to be educated? Many people thought that they knew what education meant, even I felt confident in myself to define education. However, the ideas discussed in class really made me question my definition of education. My definition has changed within the past few weeks as I discovered more about education. I am here to present my definition of education; with the lack of resources, one can still become educated

etc. As a future educator, I would make sure all my activities are inclusive to all students e.g., race, ethnicity, sex, physical ability, culture, language, gender, background etc. I would also make sure I support the achievement for all my students, ensuring that students backgrounds and circumstances do not stop them from achieving full benefits. As an educator I will apply what I learned in this course into my teaching practice. Therefore, my hopes and dreams as an educator is to make sure I
