ACTIVITY 3
A. Reflect on your own philosophy using the following questions as
guide: 1. With that educational philosophy:
How will you treat your student?
Every classroom has its own unique community; my role as the teacher will be to assist each child in developing their own potential and learning styles.
What will you teach?
I will present a curriculum that will incorporate each different learning style, as well as make the content relevant to the students' lives.
How will you teach?
I will teach by hands-on learning, cooperative learning, projects, themes, and individual work that engage and activate students learning.
2. From which philosophies that you have studied and researched
did you draw inspiration as you formulated your own philosophy of education? Pragmatism (Experientialism), teaching methods focus on hands- on problem solving, experimenting, and projects, often having students work in groups. Curriculum should bring the disciplines together to focus on solving problems in an interdisciplinary way. Rather than passing down organized bodies of knowledge to new learners, Pragmatists believe that learners should apply their knowledge to real situations through experimental inquiry. This prepares students for citizenship, daily living, and future careers. 3. Does this educational philosophy of yours make a difference in your life? Pragmatism is an educational philosophy that says that education should be about life and growth. That is, teachers should be teaching students things that are practical for life and encourage them to grow into better people. And as a future educator it changes my life by adapting myself into technologies which is what would be the learners need.
4. What if you do not have formulated a philosophy of education
at all? Well, philosophy is the essential backbone for nearly every field of study. Meaning, without philosophy, we wouldn't have science, psychology, math, or theology. So other than being important for everyone on earth, philosophy is even more important for teachers.
5. Is your educational philosophy more of an abstract theory
than a blue-print to daily living? Your philosophy is your own thought and formulation, never formulated for you by another that is why you were advised to begin stating it with phrase “I believe”. It is best to state it in the concrete not in the abstract like a theory because this is your blue print to daily life. And I believe that my educational philosophy is more of an abstract.
6. Do you think your philosophy will change as you grow in
knowledge? I believe a good teacher, first, has a powerful faith in the future and transform their own knowledge based on past experiences and prior learning. I know that students do not all learn in the same way or at the same rate. Experiences that will both challenge and allow every student to think and grow. ACTIVITY 2 1. Formulate your personal philosophy of education. Do it well for this will form part of your teaching portfolio which you will bring along with you when you apply for a teaching job. Write it down here.
“My philosophy of education is that I
believe that all children are unique and have something special that they can bring to their own education. I will assist my students to express themselves and accept themselves for who they are, as well embrace the differences of others.” PROJECT in EDUC 3C 12:30- 1:30pm MWF
