My Philosophy Statement Education is a very important aspect of our lives. It is our education that makes us who we are and determines what we become. Therefore, education is not something to be taken lightly. As a teacher, my goal will be to provide the best possible education for my students. Every student is unique. I must see students for who they are individually and respect their ideas and opinions. Each student has a different learning style. I must take this into consideration because
Philosophy of Education If I had to pick one view that is most compatible with my own view and learning and teaching it would have to be Constructivism. If I got to choose another one I would go with Cognitive. Constructivism is a view that focuses on the active role of the learner and a Cognitive view sees learning as an active mental process of receiving, remembering, and using knowledge. Both of these views see the role of students as an active role; an involved role. I believe that we
Teaching From A Design Perspective Developing a philosophy of education is more than asserting a love of wisdom in the theory and practice of teaching. It may be heartening to feel, but it lacks backbone. For a philosophy to have weight and merit, it needs truth, logical strength, and soundness. (Hughes 19) My philosophy of education asserts the following premises that if we teach: learning as relational; creativity as skill; and knowledge as design; then, we create an instructional approach that
Running head: EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY 1 Educational Philosophy: Learn Anything…Learn Everything. Kathleen Bateman L25951340 EDUC 604- DO8 LUO Dr. Zabloski EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY 2 Abstract Learn anything… Learn everything. One of the biggest differences I noticed while teaching overseas in Asia for seven years is that students in Asia don’t get hung up on the “why” part of education as much as American students do. While it is important for students to question and think critically about a lesson
Philosophy of Education My philosophy of education is almost wholly derived from my own experiences as a student. I have always had a love of learning, but have not exactly felt the same way about school, in part because I was bored with the classes and material. My teaching methods and views of learning reflect the idea I have of how I would have liked my teachers to teach. Major philosophical approaches: My interest in teaching stems from my belief that
Personal Mission Statement Education is the imparting and acquiring of knowledge and skills through teaching and learning. As an educator, my personal mission statement is to master my subject area in order to serve as a role model for my students thereby producing students who thoroughly understand the subject matter, and who develop holistically. In order to achieve this goal I must have a set education philosophy with a strong Christian worldview. I must also have a general understanding of the
Educational Philosophy “He who dares to teach must never cease to learn.” --Richard Henry Dann It is impossible to ever cease to learn because complete knowledge can never be attained and it is the nature of human beings to constantly seek new information to better understand the world around them. As Aristotle simply stated, “All men by nature desire knowledge.” It is not solely by our own initiative that we obtain knowledge, but it is also attained through the direction of other
In the brief history of Bauhaus, regardless of whether it was good or bad, anyway, it really led to a revolution in the field of art education, we still can feel its impact. Now, every student in an art school is grateful to the Bauhaus for their own "basic courses" in school. Each art school has been able to teach students materials, color theory and three-dimensional design of the content, are more or less thanks to about 60 years ago in Germany that education experiment. Ordinary people sitting
even if his teachings were different from what they are known to be at present, his influence on Plato is immense. And so, it is no small matter to describe the tragic passing of such a man as Socrates was and remains for philosophy today. Yet in all the indignation which is expected to arise at the death of Socrates, the panache with which he departs is captured excellently in Plato's “Apology.” Specifically, at the end of the "Apology," Socrates makes a very important statement that has had
section of this paper will be a critical discussion about the materials Elliott discussed in the chapter. Overall I really enjoyed Elliott’s arguments about creativity, I found it very easy to read and helped open my eyes on the use of creativity in the classroom. The creative philosophy that Elliott outlines in this chapter was incredibly helpful. I have always thought of the creative aspect in a classroom as being a compositional project, or improvisation and Elliott’s disapproval of that thought
