    CHAPTER 2 – YOU, THE TEACHER, AS A PERSON IN SOCIETY

    Lesson 2 – Formulating Your Philosophy of Education

    You have been acquainted with the various philosophies. With which do you identify yourself?
    What is your philosophy of education? You are expected to formulate it in this lesson.

    Intended Learning Outcome

     Formulate one’s philosophy of education

    Content focus

    Your philosophy of education is your ”windows” to the world and “compass” in life, hence it is
    good to put that philosophy in writing. Your philosophy of education is reflected in your dealings with
    your students, colleagues,, parents and administration. Your attitudes toward problems and life in
    general has an underlying philosophy.

    What does a philosophy of education contain or include? It includes your concepts about:

     the human person, the learner in particular and the educated person
     what is true and good and therefore must be taught
     how a learner must be taught.

    Here is an example:

    My philosophy of education as a Grade School Teacher

    I believe that every child

     has a natural interest in learning and is capable of learning


     is an embodied spirit
     can be influenced but not totally by his/her environment
     is unique, so comparing a child to other children has no basis
     does not have an empty mind, rather it is filled with ideas and it is my task to drw out those
    ideas.

    I believe that there are unchanging values in changing times and these must be passed on to every child
    by my modeling, value inculcation and value integration in my lesson.

    I believe that my task as a teacher is to facilitate the development of every child to the optimum by:

     reaching out to all children without bias and prejudice towards the “least” of the children
     making every child feel good and confident about himself/herself through his/her experience of
    success in the classroom
     helping every child to master the basic skills of reading, communicating in oral and written form,
    arithmetic and computer skills
     teaching my subject matter with mastery so that every child will use his/her basic skills to
    continue acquiring knowledge, skills and values for him/her to go beyond basic literacy and basic
    numeracy
     inculcating or integrating the unchanging values of respect, honesty, love and care for others
    regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, appearance and economic status in my lessons
     consistently practicing these values to serve as model for every child
     strengthening the value formation of every child through “hands-on-minds-on-hearts-on”
    experiences inside and outside the classroom
     providing every child activities meant to develop the body, the mind, and the spirit
