Philosophy of Education My philosophy of education is based on the ideas that I have about education that are framing my critical goals as an educator at this moment. As a teacher I believe that it is important to be aware of the individual needs‚ strengths and abilities of each of my students. With this awareness‚ I will be able to challenge each student in what Vygotsky calls their "zone of proximal development." At the same time‚ I will use this information to help build the self-esteem of

remember. I do and I understand." -Confucius My personal philosophy of education is most closely related to constructivism‚ which is a theory based on the thought that learning is student led and teachers are the facilitators of children’s learning. Within this type of learning students are required to be active thinkers‚ explainers‚ interpreters and questioners (Woolfolk & Margetts‚2007). Constructivism is an educational philosophy that focuses on constructing knowledge through rich and authentic

Philosophy of Education Education plays a big role in the world today‚ which is why I believe it is so important. Throughout my time in my education classes at HSU I have heard many different reasons why people want to become a teacher. I’ve heard things like “I want to become a teacher to have summers off”‚ or “I just really love kids!” I believe to become a teacher you have to have far bigger/better reasons than that‚ because being a teacher really takes a lot of dedication and passion.

Philosophy of Education I believe that as a teacher I must first believe in my students. When I enter the classroom‚ I will look into the faces of each of my students and see them reach their greatest potential while in my care. I will make it an obligation to not let one single student leave my room at the end of a year without having helped them realize their potential. I will dedicate each and every minute of instruction to the investment of the future of my students. While this sounds

My Philosophy of Education TEACHER ROLES: I believe that the teacher of elementary students has many roles. I will sometimes be a facilitator-guide‚ sometimes a supportive‚ nurturing mother-like figure‚ and sometimes a sage who imparts knowledge. I will encourage my students to become more self-aware and self-managing. I believe that elementary school teachers must focus significant classroom time on the acquisition of social and community skills such as mutual respect‚ cooperation‚ friendship-building

My Philosophy of Education by Javier Medina I grew up in Venezuela‚ where education follows a model in which the teacher shares his knowledge with the student and the student learns from the teacher‚ not the other way around. I believe this model would benefit from some changes to create more successful individuals in both their professional and personal lives. In the Venezuelan classroom‚ the teacher takes an active

Philosophy of Education I believe education is an experience and the foundation of human interactions. Being in school is where students gain the knowledge that they will need in the future and to also help them determine what they want to do with their lives. In order for this to be in progress there must be teachers who will prepare them and take them through the steps they need to go through. To instruct someone... is not a matter of getting him to commit results to mind. Rather‚ it is to teach

Philosophy of Education Thomas Jefferson once said “genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” I believe it is this 1% inspiration that we must find‚ as teachers‚ in the youth of today. That way‚ we can give them the motivation to unlock the 99% perspiration inside themselves. After all‚ without that 1% inspiration‚ you have no reason to perspire. Teaching requires a certain kind of patience‚ understanding‚ and willingness to perspire on its’ own. It is not an easy task to uncover that

Comte developed a systematic and hierarchical classification of all sciences‚ including inorganic physics (astronomy‚ earth science and chemistry) and organic physics (biology and‚ for the first time‚ physique sociale‚ later renamed sociologie). Comte ’s emphasis on the interconnectedness of social elements was a forerunner of modern functionalism. Nevertheless‚ as with many others of Comte ’s time‚ certain elements of his work are now viewed as eccentric and unscientific‚ and his grand vision
