I. GOAL
To formulate one's philosophy of education.
II. TASK
Interview one of your favorite teachers about his philosophy of education
Prepare at least 3 questions.
4thQuestion: Do you think you will stick with that philosophy as you grow?
Is there a possibility that it would change?
Answer: I will definitely stick coz Ive come a bit farther from the old me (strict, merciless, affront, for
short - inhumane teacher). Ive made a lot of mistakes in teaching so I had my worst yesterday
but today and onwards, Ill be at my best coz Ive differentiated them well since then. I have to
be at my best both: Theoretically and spiritually.
I teach not for men but I make the best of me coz I serve the Lord with my teaching not for mere
reputation and honor man can give but far more reward is stored in heaven even if I will never be
named MOST OUTSTANDING TEACHER.
III. ANALYSIS
Make a Venn diagram of the educational philosophy of your favorite teacher and compare it with yours.
IV. .REFLECTIONS
The philosophy which I considered as a basis of my personal Philosophy of Education is the Christian
Philosophy which was inspired from the Bible.
Philosophy comes from the Greek words Philo which means love and Sophia which means wisdom.
Therefore, its meaning in general is LOVE FOR WISDOM.
Education on the other hand, Education has been defined as the process by which children and youth
develop knowledge, skills, and character, especially through formal instruction, training, and study.
For me, the best way to educate someone to become knowledgeable and full of wisdom is through
integrating biblical values in our leanings. It is very important for the implantation of ones vision, character
formation, healing self-esteem and awakening leadership skills. These things can be picked from the Bible
which is very useful in our daily lives to become prosperous and successful.
Absolutely yes. As a student, my personal philosophy which is inspired by the word of God always
reminds me that everything could be achieved only if I will abide in Christ. It teaches me how to be patient in
facing the heavy traffic as I go to school, to be responsible in my class works, to be hardworking, to have
respect towards my fellow students and professors, to love my course even though its not my first option, to be
humble whenever I got higher grades and to resist temptation of cheating, procrastination and loss of temper
which are my greatest enemy.
As a future teacher, I know that this Philosophy of mine would make me more
patient and understanding in dealing with my students. I know that this would help me to impart
the given knowledge & wisdom from God to my future students and to be a good example towards them.
Lastly, my personal educational philosophy taught me not just to accomplish a thing. It also
strengthen me to achieve success.
