Formulating my
philosophy of
education
Your Philosophy of
Education is your "window"
to the world and "compass"
in life
Philosophy of Education includes
concepts about
The human person, the learner and the educated
person
How a learner must be taught in order to come
close to the truth
What is true and good and therefore m
taught
My Philosophy of Education as a
teacher
I believe that every child has a natural interest in
learning and is capable of learning
Is an embodied spirit
Can be influenced but not totally by his/her
environment
Is unique and so comparing a child to other children has
no basis
Does not have any empty mind, rather is full of ideas
and it is my task to draw out these ideas.
