Subject Description: EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
1. Define philosophy of education. How does it affect the:
Education theory analyzes education's goals, approaches, processes, and

perceptions. The term is used to describe or examine concrete pedagogical
approaches as well as to define the fundamental philosophical study of these topics.
Therefore, the philosophy of education is very important in the sense that it gives us
the guide and foundation upon which our teaching will be built.
a. Educational system
There must be certain priorities, targets or goals in any educational system.
These serve as the teacher's guide in educating a learner. Without clear objectives
and targets, we cannot think of any educational method.
b. School Management
Education philosophy is a branch of practical philosophy that examines the
essence, purpose, and system of education. The moral and philosophical problems
involving education and education policies are depicted.
Your philosophy of education is your thoughts on why, what and how you
teach, how you teach, and the essence of learning.
c. Teaching Learning process?

By studying philosophy, an educator will be able to observe and analyze
things from the perspective of their students. Teachers will be able to understand not
only why students behave in a certain way, but also how their actions are perceived
by pupils. Teachers are instructors who play an active role in teaching critical
thinking in students. Therefore, we must have ideas to motivate and inspire students.
2. What is the significant role of philosophy in education and in one’s life?

Philosophy plays a significant role in education by assisting students in
developing both their capacity and their desire to think critically. It also contributes
student's ability to think rationally, significantly, intensively, and extensively.

Philosophy begins when a person begins to use reason rather than religious
beliefs or accepting opinions to try to understand the world. The majority of us live in
a world filled with unanswered questions that keep us busy and apprehensive to
many things. Every now and then, we wonder what all the fuss is about. Possibly
we'll start asking questions we wouldn't normally ask. That is why philosophy is very
important to one’s life.
3. Discuss your own philosophy as a teacher and as an individual?
My teaching Philosophy is that; learners learn best when they can put what
they've learned into practice in their daily lives. In today's generation, it is best for
students to learn through doing. Teaching them in a real-life situation is also
beneficial. Learning that is meaningful has the potential to last a lifetime.
4. From the philosophies of education, namely: idealism, realism, perennialism,

experimentalism and essentialism, pragmatism, which do you think is your basis in
classroom management and teaching strategies? Discuss comprehensively and give
example to support your point of view.
My philosophy of education is anchored on pragmatism, which is an

educational theory that states, that life and development should be centered on
education. That why is, teachers should teach students life skills and inspire them to
become a better individual.
Realistic learning is defined as education that is practiced in the actual life.

Like for example, if a teacher is teaching pupils in an urban setting, there may not be
many practical applications for them to learn about agricultural science. However, if
she teaches at a girls' farmers' school, she may not need to teach the history of art.
5. Explain the dictum of Socrates “Know thyself,” and give its application to the
educative process
For me, "Know Thyself" means thoroughly understanding and determining
how to best use one's personal strengths and weaknesses by building on and
amplifying one's strengths to the point where they may offset or eliminate the risks of
one's shortcomings.
As a teacher, we must understand our students' strengths and shortcomings

in order to provide the most efficient approach. We will be able to learn about their
skills, aptitudes, and capacities in this way. We can also provide learning that is
tailored to their talents and competencies.
6. Should the teachers be allowed to inflict corporal punishment to instill discipline

among delinquent students? Explain
No, because corporal punishment is an ineffective method of discipline. It

could have an emotional and physical impact on the learners. They may not learn
because they are always afraid when they attend to class. If the learner is taught to
be fearful, there is a possibility that they could make an error that will affect them
personally. It drives them to lose their trust to their teacher, which might lead to
meaningless learning.
7. Evaluate the present curricula of Philippine education. What philosophies do you

think are used as patterns of the said curricula? Explain your answer.
Idealism and pragmatism are the ideologies that are used as patterns in the
curricula. It has idealism patterns because the ultimate goal of the curricula is to
provide practical literacy to all Filipino learners who are taught about morality and
spirituality, resulting in products who are just and humane; God-loving Filipinos. The
pragmatism derives from the goal of teaching students in a practical manner so that
they can apply what they learn in real-life situations. All learners require intelligence,
knowledge, and skills, as well as honesty, faith, and commitment in order to work
and live.
8. Do the modern kindergarten schools still follow the ideologies of Froebel of a

“child-centered school”? Explain.
Yes, since kindergarten schools offer a variety of learning opportunities,
including play-based, child-centered, holistic education, parental involvement,
educational paper folding, and the use of music, sports, and movement activities for
educational purposes. Kindergarten focuses on a child's strength during specific
tasks. A teacher's primary role is to assist students in making their experiences
a meaningful one.
9. According to Destefano (2011), “To teach without a firm understanding of one’s

personal philosophy and philosophy of education would be analogous to painting a
portrait without the rudimentary knowledge and skills of basic design, perspective, or
human anatomy, “Please explain in one paragraph.
It means that as a teacher, we must have a firm understanding of educational

philosophy in order to have a clearer vision of the type of learning we want to provide
to our students and the types of learners we want to produce in the future.
