Introduction:
From my experience I have learned how teachers differ from each other. Every teacher has their own way of teaching. This module made me aware of the various ways teachers teach as explained in the different teaching philosophies. Different teachers prefer different philosophies. I am going to describe my teaching philosophy and elaborate on my two philosophies. My two philosophies are Constructivism and progressivism.

Result of learning is when you gain knowledge or skill through studying, experiencing or learning something. Learning does not happen all at once, it sometimes builds on the knowledge you have.
