My Learning Philosophy

Although the IOM (2011) report contains a multitude of recommendations and potential solutions, the call for action is truly urgent for all key stakeholders including nurses, physicians, hospitals, universities, and so forth. As the healthcare field continues to evolve so must the nursing education system.

As a teacher, it is important to acknowledge the diversity of students because teachers can be the biggest influence in children 's lives. My career will be affected by the students I teach. I can influence them to change their lives, strive to achieve things they didn 't think they could, and be an advocate for them. Teachers can affect change. My professional philosophy is to provide guidance for students.

The definition of curriculum can be as mysterious as the curriculum itself. Oliva (2013) described the hunt for the curriculum as being similar to “efforts to track down Bigfoot, the Bear Lake Monster, [and] the Florida Everglades Skunk Ape …” (pg. 2). All of these elusive beings have left tracks, yet there isn’t a single photograph to prove their existence—just like there isn’t one tangible definition for curriculum. Sure, there’s a binder labeled “curriculum,” but that doesn’t mean it’s merely a set of plans. Initially, I believed the curriculum to be something elusive; I loosely interpreted it as the information that should be taught in a given subject and the corresponding objectives or learning intentions. I believed that the “curriculum [could] be conceived in a narrow way as subjects taught (Oliva, 2013, pg. 3). What I was unaware of was the interdependency of curriculum and instruction. I learned that the curriculum is just as reliant on instruction as instruction is on the curriculum. One is “the what” while the other is “the how.” Now, I view the curriculum as more than just a framework of content and standards. It includes “all the experiences that the learner encounters under the direction of the school” (Oliva, 2013, pg. 7). The curriculum is transient. It can be molded, shaped, and restructured to meet the needs of the children

Children are the future and their education is the key to our society’s success. When considering this, I realize I have an immense responsibility as an educator. The main focuses of my teaching are active learning, building character within students, and providing meaningful curriculum. I want to create a comfortable setting where every student feels safe to learn. In many ways, my philosophy agrees with the holistic approach to education. I feel this challenges the student to not only learn the academic curriculum, but also provides them with opportunities to learn about themselves and the world we live in. I also admire this approach in that it provides students with challenges they must solve themselves. I believe this is extremely important in teaching the 21st century skills they will use their entire life. I believe we must look at the larger picture of what skills and knowledge we are giving our students so they may find success in their future.

To develop as an educator it is essential that I understand my personal developing philosophy of education. This philosophy is one that has been influenced by reflection on and learning from prior experiences, and will continue to develop throughout my career as an educator. At this point in time I believe that the purpose of education in this framework is to challenge children, equipping them with the knowledge and understandings required to be successful in modern society, by creating an opportunity for them to learn in their own way. The aim of education is to develop a well-rounded person, providing them with the knowledge needed to ensure that they have a strong foundation for learning and evolving in all aspects of their life. I also believe through experiences and investigation that students will continue to move forward in their education and emotional development. It is my belief that the teacher is a guide in the class environment; facilitating the students learning encouraging them to ascertain an understanding. When doing this the teacher must acknowledge that each student is an individual. The role of the learner is to understand and appreciate themselves and others, being active participants in the learning process. I believe that a dialogical teaching method is the best approach to accomplish these aims and roles. Justification of my personal philosophy will be provided, with references to five different

A personal philosophy of education serves to unify the experience of teaching for the individual. It provides our students with a professional that understands the context of learning from which their classroom stems. It also ensures a personal sense of growth: a lifelong process valued by the profession as a whole. I have combined beliefs from pedagogical, ethical and personally developed ideas I intend to use as a foundation in creating a nurturing classroom environment.

Art is a form of communication that fosters our distinct ideas. Artist create music, paintings, sculptures, philosophy, novels, films, and computer designs. Even engineers have to be part mathematician and part artist. People should understand that art plays a heavy role in a prosperous society. Pupils can enrich their aesthetic keenness in the same manner that they can grow any expertise, with practice. The more students are exposed to art in a visual form, the better they will comprehend the world around them.

When I think about what I want my classroom to look like, I want it to look like the kids are enjoying being there and are learning something. I think it is very important for the kids to learn while also enjoying going to school. What I want my classroom to be like is, the kids will learn about the rules and the way I want my classroom to be ran and while learning the rules I will make it fun, I don’t want the kids to not want to come back to my classroom because I’m so strict. I don’t want kids who are perfect at math or language I want kids who are willing to learn and help the learn from their mistakes while learning about the math and language topics, I want to help them prepare for the world and tell them that It will be okay in the end. And help them understand their learning skills.

I believe the role of school in society is to teach children the knowledge they need to be successful in life. I believe this knowledge includes not only academic skills, but also emotional skills, such as citizenship, responsibility, and manners. I believe that students applying these academic and emotional skills in their lives is the purpose of education. Using this knowledge gained in school will prepare students to become responsible, productive citizens. I teach six and seven-year-old students in my first-grade classroom. I believe that beginning this education at such an early age gives students the opportunity to build these skills and values into a way of life. It is also the responsibility of schools to assure that all students are served well. I believe that the most important way a school can accomplish this is by making sure each child is receiving their education in their least restrictive environment. Not every student is served best in a regular education classroom. For some, their least restrictive environment is in a special education classroom, an alternative learning classroom, or even in remediation small groups. It is up to the schools to determine the correct learning environment, and work with the students’ parents to ensure they receive the best education possible.

I was a student from the technical side and till now Design and Technology has remained my favourite and high scoring subject. The subject being easy is not enough for me to justify this interest. I believe one possible answer is the approach of my Design and Technology teachers toward teaching was completely different from other teachers. This had been possible only through their scaffolding work they have been continually constructing in transforming me into a better individual. They were engaged and concerned about the future of their students. They were my role models. Since my childhood, I have practiced scoutism and I was dedicated in participating in a social activities. I always wanted to choose a career where I will able to appreciate in what I am practising and be able to create interaction with people. The only possible career to match my expectation was obviously teaching. However teaching is very challenging and requires lots of dedication. As a teacher to become, I believe all individual engaging in the field of teaching must have their own teaching philosophy and an understanding of

I believe that every student has the right to learn and deserves a quality education. Regardless of age, gender, race, or ethnicity, as an educator, I will strive to create a classroom where my students feel valued as an important member of our learning community. Teaching is an extremely important profession which demands compassion, patience, time, and commitment. To truly teach is to instruct, encourage, communicate, and assess in such a way that students are instilled with a love of learning that they can carry with them throughout their lives. The purpose of teaching is to equip students with the knowledge and power to achieve and succeed with hard work and determination, while praising them through triumphs and encouraging them through failures along the way.

To google, education is defined as “the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.” To a teacher it is defined as giving a child the confidence to make the most of themselves in life. The principles behind this plan defers between educators, but most have the same goal in mind; to make a difference in the education system for newer generations of students. My philosophy of education at the beginning of the term was based directly on my personal experiences as a student in the school I previously attended. The attitude I carry now reflects a more logical understanding of a student and teacher’s mind as well as the factors that contribute to a good education. A good education can be broken down in too many different areas that all lead to the success of a child’s learning both mentally and physically.

At the first quarter, I said that I really like to become a teacher, and I also said become a teacher do not easy. But I still think if we really want to teach children by heart we can do it. Children is a seed of country, and we need fosterage it, provide a knowledge, and build a beautiful soul for them. In the life, we know parents are best important for children, but I think teacher also is third parent with children. In my opinion, there are three elements I believe it is my philosophy on education is a good teacher is not just teaching by wisdom knowledge, that we should teaching by our heart, encourage student to ask questions, and unbiased, non-conservative, wise, help students with all respect. And I think my personal philosophy concerns to good teaching, the way children learn best, and the purpose of education.

Educators have a tremendous responsibility not only to prepare students for their lives ahead but also contribute to the evolution of knowledge for future generations. Each generation educates the next and as the torch is passed we refine our methods. The philosophy of education seeks to study the process and discipline of education in order to understand how it works. The philosophy of a teacher is his or her description of their goals and beliefs and how they will be put into action in a classroom. Teaching is recognized as one of the most challenging and respected career choices one can make .The teacher’s task is sometimes difficult based on the subject and the age of the students to which he or she is trying to teach.

Therefore, the facilitator will present information or create experiences that develop self-actualizing students. How we present the curriculum must stimulate critical thinkers, help students to be effective communicators,
