because, they have in some way shaped my thoughts, beliefs, and feelings of education. Today, I take these experiences to create my philosophy of education. What I believe to be the purpose of education, how my students will learn, and what my student’s role, and my role as a teacher in the classroom, forms a philosophy will be my own believes that will impact my students. Each teacher and experience I have had in education has used the four educational philosophies. Understanding Perennialism, Essentialism…
Kohlman EDU 200.02 Fall 2015 Personal Philosophy of Education There are currently many different philosophies in education today, including but not limited to Montessori, progressivism, humanism, and many more. Through the class Foundations of Education my personal education philosophy has started to take form. I believe that a philosophy cannot stay the same through the course of ones teaching career, but as new findings are talked about an educators philosophy can change as well. Teaching the minds…
because they want them to receive a quality education. They understand the demand for learning because you must learn in order to be knowledgeable. Our world relies on knowledge. Without knowledge, one cannot make progress, expand on what one already knows, or be an asset to society. Our world has reached a point in which it needs influential, intelligent members of society. With the latest issues, such as technological races, potent wars, and struggling education, these members are a necessity. As children…
My philosophy of education is comprehensive, and I concur with various aspects of Perennialism, Essentialism, Progressivism, and Social Reconstructionism. Essentialism is the philosophy I am most familiar with and it has had a profound impact on me. Perennialism is also a philosophy that has had significant influence on my beliefs. Progressive and Social Constructionism also contribute certain ideals to my educational philosophy. Although I do not agree with each aspect of these curriculum philosophies…
paper on a philosophy of education, it is important to define the terms used so that both the author and the reader are “on the same page.” Webster’s New World Dictionary, in the third definition, defines philosophy as “the general principles or laws of a field of knowledge” (p. 1015). Education is likewise defined in the first definition as “the process of training and developing the knowledge, skill, mind, character, etc., esp. by formal schooling” (p. 432). Hence, a philosophy of education would be…
13 February 2011 My Philosophy of Education I believe that progressivism educational philosophy most closely matches my educational ideals. In my opinion based on the progressivism educational philosophy, the purpose of education is to enable students to learn useful knowledge that has meaning to them in the future. Thus, the most useful education for students is the skill of “learning how to learn”. When students understand the methods…

Education keeps people informed about the newest forms of technology and best practices for any field imaginable. It helps individuals obtain meaningful jobs in…
My Philosophy of Education Several experiences have influenced my philosophy of education. Some of these experiences have been good, others have not, but they have all proved invaluable in shaping my methods of teaching. As a non-traditional student, I have learned many lessons since being out in the “real world” that have changed my opinions about learning and teaching. I believe in Social Reconstructionism, Progressivism, and discipline in the classroom. I desire to become a high school…
My Educational Philosophies Every educator has different priorities for their students. Some believe that test scores and book knowledge are the end all goal. Others wish to let their students experiment and learn about concepts they cannot be tested on. As a teacher, I hope to never become overly preoccupied by test scores. My main priority is for my students to leave my classroom with knowledge, a love of learning, and the ability to investigate. Since I believe that these concepts are my goal…
My Philosophy of Education Words cannot explain why I want to be a teacher. Personally, I don’t know why anyone would not want to be. The fact that I might teach anyone something that could be helpful in his or her life is just astonishing to me. It can also be scary, because you can hurt as much as help. I found that out the hard way. I had a teacher that didn’t care the way she should have. Therefore, I got behind. I did learn that it takes more than just knowledge and training to be…
