To have a philosophy of education, is when one thinks critically about education as a whole- it’s importance, it’s role in society, people’s view on it and so on. I’ve never given much thought to it before, but I assume most students haven’t- something which proves that the education system in Ireland is failing. Throughout this module, I have developed my own philosophy and I aim to inspire students to think critically and openly, to broaden their minds, to push their boundaries and to be constantly
My philosophy of education Introduction In this paper I am going to write about my philosophy of education which reflects my own vision and it is slightly inspired by educational philosophies and schools of thoughts which I relate to the most.

When I think back on my education, I remember learning a lot of information but sadly I have retained very little. I was trained and programmed by my teachers to be a functional student, but not a very thoughtful one. My education as a whole goes against everything that Paulo Freire believed in. He believed that an education should give students liberation, not anxiety attacks and standardized tests. I can now look back on past experiences and analyze them as Paulo would.

My philosophy of education is that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. A safe environment is very beneficial to a child’s learning. Providing a safe environment will allow a child to expand his or her horizons and feel free to learn new tasks and topics. A vision statement is a public declaration that schools use to describe their high-level goals for the future
talking about education and the philosophy behind it, there were actually different roots of belief and understanding holds by educators and schools. Each and everyone hold different beliefs that somehow will influence on what and how students are taught.

Philosophy of education was an ambiguous concept till I enrolled in the Educational Leadership doctoral program at University of North Florida, specifically, EDF 7545 Philosophy of Education course, the first philosophical course I have taken throughout my entire educational journey. The course expanded my knowledge about education and the role of educators even though it concentrated on the key issues of American education. Also, it explained different philosophical stances of philosophers who hope
PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION I personally believe that education is one of the most important things to achieve in life. No matter what it can never be taken away from you. From my observations and experiences in the classroom each child is unique in his or her own way. Students inside a classroom needs a teacher who will make them feel secure, comfortable and in a stimulating atmosphere. These aspects help to attain growth, mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire
teaching practices. Likewise, throughout this course, I was introduced to many different philosophies and philosophers of education. While some of these philosophies confirmed my own philosophy of education, there were also beliefs that differed from my own. During this course, I connected most with the philosophy of Horace Mann. His philosophy captures my view that all students should receive some form of education to be a productive member of this society and to communicate and interact with different
