My philosophy of education
Introduction
The context of education is not solely academic in nature. It is important for the teacher also to
educate their children why important knowledge regarding the skill that is needed for solving the
problems and also why teaching the students that are needed for communication and productive
working. The functionality of the students in the real world requires both knowledge in
academics and social skills. According to my personal inside the purpose of education is
essential for each and every children to live and sustain a successful living. At the school
children not only learn science history mathematics or English, they also learn several social
economics and essentiality for the development of communication. Each and everything that is
being taught in the educational curriculum of the school definitely benefit recharge someday in
his professional life or for figuring out real life challenges. I believe that education is a unique
experience for each and every student enters the classroom. For the benefit of the children I think
it is important for the schools and the educator to fully understand the importance of philosophy
related to education. Firstly I believe that the educator’s must consider the philosophy of
teaching and knowledge to be a lifestyle and not a mere job. This is because the goal of the
educator for that students encompasses much more then illustrating out of the context
information to the passive students. World professionals interested with the imparting education
to the young minds, it is important for the Teachers to facilitate growth and learning in personal
ethics and academic purposes. The provision of quality education towards each of the individual
within the classroom I believe a teacher plays an important role to create the children with the
tools which are necessary for the success throughout the life. The thesis statement of this
research argues over my personal perspective of philosophy of education.
Discussion
My insight towards philosophy of education generous from my strong personal belief regarding
student learning, the categories of experiences they required and also the environment which is
more conductive for further educational prospect. I myself have been a lifelong student. I taught
in several levels and developed a very good range of educational dispositions which relative to
the various experiences. The overriding principles which guides my instructional practice
towards dressing my experience is and believes to a manageable list would be my knowledge

and my never ending passion for reflective practice. The context of art and the reflective practice
to me is a way to make meaning towards my experiences regarding life, it is for the moon my
belief towards manipulation of materials in the way to understand my world and also the
conviction that I need to believe that I can achieve something wonderful in my life.
According to my personal inside I believe the key towards a happy and successful living there is
inclusive to the philosophy of education is having the choices what one actually wants and want
to derive. The one and only way to have the choices in life for me is by the means of education
and knowledge. The more data or information one have, the clearing man can think and the more
powerful one can be over the future.
My educational philosophy includes my faith towards the capability of learning. I believe that all
the students for the learners do not learn at the same rate or at the same time but with several
other methods and strategies as per their convenience. It is important to note that students should
not be thought as some mindless individuals waiting to be filled with knowledge by the
educators.as per my philosophy of education students are the learners should be viewed as
individual who can contribute to the classroom with the help of sharing and gaining relevant
knowledge from each others. I believe student needs proper guidance and not just only lectures.
About the entire history, the human race had a genuine interest towards education while some
have suggested teaching as one of the oldest profession to be known to man. The purpose of
education as per my philosophy is towards equipping and preparing individual with tools and the
skills which are necessary for following their dreams together with allowing them to compete
and participate within the society as an independent citizen. Education can also be subjected as
and never knew that prepare individuals to think for themselves together with making moral and
ethical decisions. The method by which teachers impart knowledge what is the students is
usually being built around some category or sort of philosophy. The philosophy of education is
does a very controversial subject which is not agreed by everyone. However the philosophy has
became one of the fundamental basis of the style of education and also has enabled the educator's
towards the development of certain educational principles for the more relating to the students
and the schools.

There have been diverse range of meanings regarding the purpose of education due to several
definition by the educator towards their values and experiences. Due to the differences in their
believes, the context of education and the experiences of the learners in the current day will also
be different. My believe regarding education encompasses the whole person this will a at the
heart of my educator behaviours. According to my personal inside the purpose of the school
should be one which desired to equip all the students to be productive citizens within the local
community together with having the ability all the students to compete in the global society. It is
further more important for the schools to provide multiple opportunities of learning which would
offer each of the student and quality of education together with promotion of respect for equality,
diversity e as well as social fairness.
My philosophy of education states that children tends to learn their best when they are being
taught under specific conditions and at certain ways. Some of these conditions include children
experimenting with the topic examples that are being taught. I personally believe that children
learn by the action or by what they does the child tends to have a better understanding of what is
being taught. Another effective way which I think that might be applicable to the children in the
learning process is by imparting knowledge and making them do some activities in small groups
with fellow children in the classroom. I believe this technique of working in a small group will
be effective as the children can come up with innovative ideas and strategies to solve any
challenge.as per my personal opinion this entire process is beneficial for the children because it
helps them to learn together with helping others.
Children’s of the students should be treated as individuals who bring along a unique range of set
of abilities and needs to the classroom. Students should be responsible for their own learning
specifically since they grow and mature. This core belief of my philosophy towards education
represents a wide range of combination targeting three different classical educational
philosophies. These are idealism, neo-thomism and existentialism.
Idealism, being the oldest philosophy known to the man is the philosophy of education that
would closely emulate my own perspective. I believe that Idea list have different opinion
regarding specific but they tend to agree on two main elements. Firstly spirit is the most essential
aspect of human life and secondly everything in this universe is critical and non material.
According to my personal insight, the concept of matter is not real but an idea that is formed in

the mind. I do not agree with the aspects of extensialism, but I do support its belief that places a
major amount of emphasis over individuality. The existentialist believes the primary role of the
teacher is towards the facilitation of opportunities for learning and thereby initiating
improvement of learners success.
Role of teacher in education
I believe one of the primary roles is to teach the students to develop their own personalities
while making some responsible choices. The teachers play several multifaceted roles in the life
of the students each and every day. Firstly, I believe that the educator must have immense love
for the students of children together with a passion followed by the desire to make some positive
differences in their lives. It is the role of the teacher to content responsibility together with the
provision of save environment respecting cultural diversity. In case the students feel secure and
valued within their environment, it increases the chances towards success. I believe that a good
teacher is not the one who rules like a dictator but instead they are those who respects each and
every individual and acts as a mental or a guide for them.it is important for the educator's to
develop the curriculum depending over the requirement of the students so that it is designed for
meeting the needs of the learners followed by guiding them towards success. Educators in the
context of education also have the responsibility for modelling moral and ethical behaviours
among the students. Finally I believe that educator's should always treat their students with
respect and as individuals who bring unique set of abilities and play the role of a guide to help
them walk in the right direction off the path that would make them achieve success.
Education as a normative enterprise
I have witnessed a wide range of teachers and styles throughout my education experience. I was
in classes which had a significant impact on my life, as well as others that left a pure influence. I
have been able to distinguish between the characteristics that a good teacher includes and those
that do the opposite. I recognize that a successful teacher can teach in-and out - of-the-school
lessons, develop a personal relationship with his or her learners and recognize them even into
their adult life.

I've collected information about what characteristics characterized an outstanding educator by
analyzing the traits of former teachers in my life, my own abilities, and my own thoughts on
teaching.
Education is normative in a number of ways. While the following is not a comprehensive list, the
normative essence of learning is likely enough to be seen. Secondly, education is deliberate
Education preparation and execution is not arbitrary; it is planned for the future. Education is of
importance, because it is systematic and intentional. In academic terms what we value as
individuals and as people are driven and articulated. Human beings do not only physically
replicate themselves; they are human beings, and they participate in cultural evolution.
We try to replicate what we think our way of life is most valuable. Education is deliberate,
purposeful and meaningful and requires decisions about a way of life for people, families and
community. In addition, choosing from a traditional point of view includes moral as well as
political justification.
Perennialism would be the teaching technique I prefer to support. Perennialism claims that
learning should not only concern one's own mind, but also teaching values which will influence
the student forever. Perennialism emphasizes on individual growth in order to make students feel
worthy and important, and I believe it is necessary for a long time to succeed. Perennialists are
also most focused in tested and practical teaching techniques that were capable of disciplining
the mind of a pupil.
We also agree that learners need to have a broader, analytical and creative way of thinking. The
assessment or an evaluation is a key component of the education The evaluations are not only
used to figure out how much students have achieved, but can also be used to test teaching
methods by educators.
From a student-oriented point of view, I believe that each student is different with their personal
methods of learning and with their specific needs and souvenirs. As an educator, I have a
responsibility to explain their talents and provide an atmosphere which will promote optimal
learning and address the individual needs of each student. I assume that studying in a classroom
should be a safe and comfortable environment for the student.
