Now that you have analyzed the important philosophies and theories on education, develop your own
philosophies of education stating what you think the purpose of schooling/education is; how subjects
should be taught; what do you need to know about students to be able to teach them. Include your
idea of a good teacher. Formulate one which you think will be your guiding light in your future career.

My Own Philosophy of Education

Education is undoubtedly the most important aspect of a person’s life. It is education that shapes our
prospective and creates independent thinkers. It is the foundation of an individual’s future. It is
education that pushes us forward in the direction of self-expression because we are equipped with
basic skills and the knowledge of how to think for ourselves. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew that in
my future I wanted to become a teacher. I always looked up to my teachers, especially the ones I had in
elementary school. I even played 'school' with my friends and pretended I had my own classroom.
Above all, we are our interests; everything we accomplished is the result of our passion. My goal is to be
the driving force that helps my students use their curious minds effectively to evolve the world. In my
own personal philosophy of education, I believe the purpose of education is not to teach the learner
how to think but to think for themselves. I believe education should teach a child to think and learn
independently; the learners should take charge of their education instead of education overpowering
them. Following this guideline, I consider my educational philosophy to mostly be progressivism. The
foundation of progressivism focuses on the whole student, encouraging students to be who they are in
every aspect of themselves, physically, mentally, morally, and socially. When the focal point is the
student rather than the required material, I believe it brings forth creativity and curiosity, which will
ultimately grab the student’s attention and keep them listening. It is important to encourage the
development of thinking and reasoning to enable students to use their minds. Education is important
because it gradually prepares students for a future career. As a future teacher, I will try to enrich the
minds of students. I want them to understand the importance of education. I hope to serve as a role
model and gain respect from all of my pupils. I trust that my teaching strategies will be inspiring, and my
dedication and passion for teaching obvious. I hope that after every successful year of teaching I
develop a feeling of satisfaction. I want my students to have an understanding of education and a
positive outlook on life. I hope that by my passion for teaching I will have an impact on my students in
the future. I want them to walk away with a continuing eagerness and motivational drive to learn and
advance. Cooperative learning will be a method I use in my classroom. I believe that in a cooperative
learning group a student can learn socialization skills and how to work with others.
