My Philosophy
The two major
trends in educational reform are the “management” approach to education, which
is a sophisticated expression of traditional/conventional philosophy, and the
learner-centered or “open” school. Learner-centered views focus on the
learner’s motivational drives and needs. Newer methods of education are
characterized by more extensive and intensive student involvement,
individualization of instruction, a greater variety of instructional
techniques, openness of classroom structure, relevance to everyday life, and
removal of causes of failures.
As one of the
educator I have a philosophy in terms of teaching on how I’ll manage my student
in teaching them a right one and also in classroom situation. Teaching is very
challenging profession and very important to everyone since the world started
when we open our eyes our parents teach us how to speak until we became a
better person. I believe that learner-oriented teaching promotes learning that
is both useful and meaningful.
As a teacher,
it is my responsibility to know who my learners are, what kinds of knowledge
and experience they bring to the class, and what they want to achieve so that I
can teach a curriculum that fits their needs and yet leaves enough room to
accommodate topics that emerge from class discovery. By assessing where
my learners are with respect to our mutual learning goals, I can provide the
scaffolding they need to build connections between what they already know and
the new understandings they seek to create. I embrace case based teaching
and other active learning activities because they stimulate intellectual
camaraderie, argumentation, and cooperative problem solving and lay the
groundwork for life-long collaborative practice. Through this strategy we can
motivate the student to stay longer in the class and show more interest of the
topic given.
In my
classroom situation my student will experience being a constructivist they
learn from their teacher and their topic that we give to them and they will
learn also through their experience and practices in the classroom management.
