Affects The Society: Intellectual Development of The Students

Helps to Decipher the Path of Learning
Teaching philosophy has been defined as the map, which provides directions to move ahead. One may
feel lost without a map. In the same way, you are going to be missed while teaching if a specific path is
not decided. Hence, a map is always needed to make informed movements.
It is not possible to make students learn something until the teacher knows why and how he/she wants
to teach. Once you know your path, you will be helping your students to plan to reach their destinations.
Affects the Society
Teachers are termed as the future makers of the community. People like you are the ones who help
students choose different professions and identities.
A teacher can leave a profound impact on students and help them make independent decisions in the
near future. The core values that your students learn from you today are going to be applied and used in
the society as they grow up. A solid philosophical background will help ensure that these values are all
positive.
If you believe in breaking stereotypes, there are high chances your students will follow the same
philosophical path. If your philosophy is accepting the already existing theories, rather than questioning
them, your students might follow your path.
Understanding the philosophy of education will teach them the need to know the whys. Along with
the intellectual development of the students, it will also improve the standards of our society and make
us more rational.
To Be in Their Shoes
By learning philosophy, a teacher would be able to view and analyze from the perspective of their
students.
Apart from understanding why students are behaving in a particular way, teachers would also be able to
know how students perceive their actions.
This helps them adapt better teaching strategies and guidance, eventually resulting in improved results.
Best of all, a teacher would be able to analyse his/her actions and understand the positives and
negatives of their methods. Just as if it helps students, it helps them as well. In other words, the
educational curriculum consisting of philosophy contributes to discovering the mind of the learner
(student), thus aid him/her in offering experiences and opportunities for cultivating his/her potential
abilities.
To Avoid Being Judgemental
Philosophy of education also teaches a teacher the concept of not prejudicing the personality of each
student. Remember that you need to consider all students equal. But, this should not affect the unique
potential and capabilities of each student. As educators, you are required to teach creativity, autonomy,
and curiosity to all students without compromising with their intellectual levels. The idea is to avoid
giving up on a pupil, who is a low-level learner. Philosophy teaches you that ideology, where you train
with an unbiased attitude.
To Teach The Concept of Unification
Philosophy also teaches about unifying each pupil and the teacher as one body to ensure harmony. The
idea is to work together to create a better citizen, who diligently serves his community and keeps check
on his/her morality. Through the philosophy of education, teachers can understand how to deal with the
students and unite them as one. Even the students will then be able to confidently speak to the teacher
as if he/she is their friend.
The Verdict
Through philosophy, you can ensure that your student not only retains his academic knowledge from all
his completed grades but also develop a sense of humane values and ethics. These personal values
provide a better upbringing for them to cope in the later years of their life. Thus, studying it is beneficial
and significant for teaching students to learn autonomously.
1. Focus. It ultimately helps provide focus. It helps provide a decision-making calculous.
2. Goals. It helps shape goals
3. Student Evaluation. It helps shape evaluation of students (aka rubric)
4. Method of Teaching. It shapes how you teach. Will you have a scantron test, an essay test, or
some combination of the two? Or will you have a lecture class, a Socratic discussion, or will you
have a group project? How will you allocate your time between activities?
5. Interviewing and Hiring. It helps the hiring parties to understand a bit about how you approach
the practice of teaching.
