B. As future teacher, what philosophy will you adapt? Explain your answer.
As a future teacher, the philosophy of education that I want to adapt is the Social
Reconstructionism. This philosophy focuses on changes, and it highlights the social reforms for the
betterment of society. Teaching the youth about the problems in our society helps us to raise
awareness and keep informed about the issues that exist in this world. It enables students to think
critically and rationally, it enhances and improves the learner’s intellectual capacity. Having a dialogue
with the students regarding to the scarcity of society, it will lead to a fruitful discussion. In line with
this, students will exercise their problem-solving skills, able to present different varieties of
perspectives, and able to have self-realization. We all know that the students are the future of our
society. The students are the ones who will lead the nation in the near future, that is why teachers
serve as an eye-opener to eliminate the social injustice and encourage the youth to speak out about
the things that negatively affect them. I believe that education is the key to eliminate social
injustice and oppression. I want to guide the learners on how to generate solutions that will make the
society healthy and progressive. A student should not just learn how to derive equations, memorize
information, analyze and understand scientific explanations but also how to cope with real-life
situations and problems. They should understand its impact on every people’s life.
Poverty, discrimination, violence, terrorism, racism, inequality are just some of the controversial
issues that we face in our society, and educators will help to lead and build the nation through
applying an essential solution by educating and touching the lives of every student. We all know that
teachers have a great influence on the student’s development and we should help the child to
become globally competitive and locally active.
In adopting the Social Reconstructionism and providing a teaching method or curriculum that
fosters the student’s development it would have a great contribution to our society. It is essential for
us to encourage the students in discussing societal issues and problems because it helps them create
and reconstruct a plan of action, and the ability to prioritize in making social changes. All in all, the
school will produce holistically developed professionals and they will use their roles to address
societal problems.
