Educational philosophy
Philosophy is not the set standards but a guide and everyone plays a role in what they believe will work. There are six philosophies that are taught in education. They are Perennialism, Existentialism, Progressivism Education, Social Reconstructionism, Pragmatism/Experimentalism and Essentialism. Each is different in the concept of what is best or works best for the teacher and or student. It is learning style that one feels comfortable with and suites the individual. Each is based on education. It is followed by teachers, administrations and schools.
Perennialism philosophy is the philosophy that believes that one should teach the things that are important to everyone everywhere. By these practices one will develop. Progressivism is based on the student’s need. The overall learning experience is focused upon and not only based on standards. In Existentialism the focus is the student itself. The student is vital and should not be explored by society or the teacher. Essentialism the focus is on the needs of the school and its survival. Social Reconstructionism school is the place for order. School setting is important and this will come through changes in society. Pragmatism/Experimentalism experience is through reality. In this philosophy everything is based around what an individual experience.
When it comes to what I believe, I feel connected to the Perennialism and Progressivism Education. These are the two philosophies I believe in; therefore, these are my educational philosophy.
In the perennialiism philosophy a great demand is placed upon the students in terms of learning. The students are responsible to get the understanding of the lesson being taught or introduced by the teacher. There is not that much emphasis placed on learning discipline form textbook learning. This philosophy believes since science is always changing it should not be taught. Learning is dialog based and the teacher is the one introducing the ideas to be explored.
In the Progressivism Education each person is unique and that uniqueness and talents are focused on. Here again the student is the focal point of the learning experience. This is more like hands on approach to education one will learn by what is done. As stated earlier one will have to find the philosophy that will work for that individual and student to ensure success.
