My Personal Education : My Philosophy Of Education

There are many characteristics that are necessary for teachers to have. First, it’s important for teachers to be vastly knowledgeable about their subject matter. Teachers need to be enthusiastic about whatever they are teaching, especially if they want to sustain students' interest. If the teacher isn't interested in the subject, why should the students? Educators should always be willing to learn all they can about the content in which they are teaching—making the content as relevant or interesting as possible. Another characteristic that is vital in a teacher is having respect for students. Showing respect towards students means valuing each student’s ideas and opinions. It also means exemplifying respect for

Education is one of the most important things we learn in our lives. As a future educator my personal philosophy is to instill the values of cooperation, fairness and justice into the hearts of our students. Students need guidance and support in many areas of their life. A teacher can make a drastic difference in a child’s life. It is important to teach our future innovators to think critically, help them to see their worth, help the student to engage in the classroom and outside of the classroom. Letting a student have a voice in what they enjoy and what class rules should be can result in a positive learning experience. Creating teacher-student relationships and supporting them in play, passion, and helping them find their purpose will help support them through their failures which are positive learning experiences. Progressivism is a philosophy that supports this type of learning. Teaching academics with a progressivism outlook, it can help students with their outlook on the democratic society. Students can learn how to create their voice, what they believe, and increase their knowledge to achieve their goal along with teacher support.

Education is an important time for children. The purpose of education is to aid children as they develop and teach them skills they will need in life. The educator’s purpose is to facilitate this wonderful feat. I will create a safe, multicultural, and diverse learning environment in order for all children to feel comfortable and develop. My personal education philosophy is to be an advocate for the children and their needs.

Without our teachers, none of us would academically be where we are today. They have made it possible for each and every one of us to excel in and out of the classroom. They have taught us to be better students by teaching us what it means to have grit, zest, social intelligence, self-control, gratitude, curiosity, and optimism. Along with the seven character traits, our teachers have also taught us to be safe, respectful, and responsible students. Although, the most valuable lesson our teachers have taught us is to do our best no matter what.

Constructivism. I believe that learning situated in physical and social contexts. Children learn by doing, by solving problems and by communicating with people around them. Constructivism maintains that children think differently and will interpret and construct the world in different ways (Maloy, 2015). Thereby, learning occurs when children are given chances to experience and interpret the world around them in their own ways. Providing children with opportunities to engage in authentic activities is essential in their cognitive development (McDevitt et al, 2013). Authentic activities include a wide range of hands-in practices such as building a bridge by blocks and experiences to build up concept learning such as visits to libraries, banks and museums. When children are playing around with concrete objects like rods, wood blocks and clay, they manipulate, act, touch, see and feel things. In this process, children learn about colors, shapes and textures as well as practicing their fine motor skills. Moreover, Gage and Berliner (1998, as cited in Marsh, Clarke & Pittaway, 2015a) argued that children who have not been giving chances to manipulate concrete objects might find it challenging to understand addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

I was homeschooled. Up until age sixteen, the primary place of my obtaining an education was my home. Like most people assume about homeschooled children, my parents were my main teachers, I often studied in my pajamas, and recess was not limited to only thirty minutes a day. When I reached the age of a junior in high school, I enrolled in the local community college where, after two years of hard work and severe lack of sleep, I graduated with my Associate degree. Now, I am a BYU student doing the whole thing over again working toward my Bachelors. Throughout these experiences, my philosophy on education has evolved quite tremendously. Growing up, I always assumed that college was a necessary step for everyone. Most people in my family, including

The purpose of this paper is to identify my personal educational philosophy. Every student is unique in their own way, and should be given an opportunity to learn in an environment that fosters mental, emotional, social, and physical development. It is my duty as a health and physical educator to provide an environment conducive to learning that is relevant, engaging, and a challenging experience for all my students despite their physical abilities. A monist views the mind and body as one. As the book states, physical activity is equally as important as intellectual activity pertaining to the mind and body relationship (Wuest & Fisette, 2012).The purpose of physical education is to teach the whole student, not just their body. It is my belief that we learn from our personal experiences. I am firm believer in John Dewey’s approach that we “learn by doing”. Therefore, after reading the text my professional philosophy derives from the pragmatic and humanistic philosophies.

A teacher’s actions and words can leave a lasting impression. Young minds are vulnerable, and thus are susceptible to environmental and social influences. Therefore, the role of a teacher is profound. Teachers must promote equality, support all learners, convey knowledge, and actively promote learning. Through reflecting on my experiences as a student, the necessary qualities of a phenomenal teacher are apparent. These teachers have a passion for education, an uncanny ability to successfully impart knowledge, and a drive to inspire and support students.

A good teacher needs multiple things to be successful. Among some of the most important traits are patience, perseverance and the ability to adapt in any situation. Without these things, a teacher could find themselves up a creek without a paddle.

certain qualities in each teacher that makes him or her differnt from another. The qualites

Not just knowing their names, although this is important, too. Therefore, try the best to know your students in order to know what they are interested in, and what they like and dislike. Also teacher should know through which way they will be motivated, teacher should put attention about students’ past learning experience. Instructors should learn about students’ expectation for the subject that teacher is going to teach. Learners’ aims and dreams should be known by the teacher. Instructors should create a strong relationship with the students this can be done through speaking to the pupils inside and outside the class, show interest in students’ speech. Teacher has to listen to the students’ problem whenever they need teacher. To break the distance between teacher and student teacher has to be available and approachable. Great teacher should never forgot the three A’S “be Able, Available and affable”. (Teaching English by David Riddell).

A teacher in a healthy classroom requires many traits to create a safe, loving environment to promote learning. A quality teacher must use positive energy and humor, continue to develop their own expertise, allow their students to be independent, teach to the whole student, and share the joy of teaching and learning with their students. Without these traits, teaching becomes mundane, and the teacher is less likely to create a safe, secure environment for learning.

The education habits of students are rooted in them from the earliest days of their educational careers. The different influences on students, whether it be inside educational institutions, or outside is huge. The teacher of a classroom is the first and most pertinent influence in a student's educational career. Teachers provide students with the basic skills they would need to survive not only in the academic world, but also the world beyond. The relationship between teachers and their students is the key element in creating an educational atmosphere that is both pleasant and effective.

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.

When understanding education there are many different ways which the purpose of education may be applied and defined. My personal philosophy of education is, 'educators must nurture/guide students within the academic field, to that the aims, goals and results during this task of educating or being educated are achieved '. This philosophy is used to understand that both teachers and students play an integral role in education. Academic performance, classroom methods/practices and also meeting the requirements of both the senior secondary Australian Curriculum Framework and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers Framework are examples of these roles. This essay will discuss in detail how my personal philosophy of education, reflects on the role of teachers and learners, the aim of education and the methods and practices used in the classroom. Jean Jacques Rousseau, Paulo Freire, Locke, and Plato/Socrates are the four theorists that shall be used within this essay, to support claims and justify statements regarding this philosophy. John Dewey and A.S Neil are two non-supporting theorists that shall be used in contrast to justify this philosophy.
