Philosophy of Education
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 him to participate in the process that makes possible the establishment of knowledge. We teach a subject not to produce little living libraries on that subject, but rather to get a student to think mathematically for himself, to consider matters as an historian does, to take part in the process of knowledge getting. Knowing is a process not a product. (Bruner 72)
A teacher is someone who provides social and intellectual development in children lives, providing them with ways to conduct themselves within a classroom and in the community. In order for me to accomplish these goals, I will teach and attend to each students needs so that each learner will be able to understand and become successful. I will be a guide to these students, answering questions that they have, let them know that no question they have is foolish, make them feel safe and push them to the ability I know they can reach.
According to Jean Piaget 's theory of development and learning, a developing child builds cognitive structures, or schemes, that connect previous knowledge and experiences to new knowledge. This can be connected to the students understanding to their experiences and surrounding. Some way I will use this theory in my classroom is by using objects or visuals, making sure that I incorporate hand-on activities within a lesson, and help students to see information from not only their point of view, but from others point of view and be able to understand it. It will be my duty to guide
