2.3.14 - Develop A Personal Philosophy of Education

The document discusses the author's personal philosophy of education, which is that all students deserve a productive learning environment to benefit their learning. The author cites Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Bloom's taxonomy as two influential theories. Maslow's hierarchy proposes that basic needs like safety and belonging must be met before students can focus on learning. Bloom's taxonomy outlines six levels of learning, from simple memorization to complex creation of new ideas. The author believes getting to know students as individuals can help them learn in different ways and build rapport.

1 Philosophy of Education
2.3.14 – Develop a personal philosophy of education.
My philosophy of education is that all students deserve to have a productive

learning environment that is beneficial to their learning. Two theories that have created a

very successful environment for students is Bloom taxonomy and Maslows.

Maslow's theory of education is that it follows a hierarchy of needs. His hierarchy

shows each layer that is needed to achieve the top level of self-actualization. First, a

student must have his/her psychological needs met. If a student comes to school feeling

hungry, they are not ready to learn. The second level deals with safety. His whole

philosophy is that kids need to feel safe in the classroom in order to learn. How is a kid

supposed to focus on school and intake the information if he or she isn’t feeling safe? The

next level deals with love and belonging. If students are worried about being accepted by

their peers they are not at a stage ready to learn. The next level is esteem. Students have to

feel good about themselves before they are ready to reach their full potential. These are all

things teachers need to be aware of when working with students. Sometimes learning

doesn’t take place because the student is not ready to learn. It is our job to help them move

through this hierarchy of needs so they are ready to learn. (3.1.1)

Bloom's philosophy of education gives six categories on the way students can learn

information. The lowest category is remembering. This is when you ask a student to

memorize information. The next level is understanding. That means that students can

construct their own meaning to the information to their understanding. The next level is
applying. The student will actually create something based on the information they have

learned. The next level is analysing. A student would analyze the information by breaking

the material apart and talking about how the parts fit together kind of like a puzzle. The

next level is evaluating. A student can check and critique the information that they have

learned. The last level is creating. The student puts together everything they have learned

to produce something new.

My philosophy on education is that anyone can learn. Maybe a student can’t learn as

fast or as advanced as another student but everyone can learn. Intaking new information

can be different for everyone in various different ways. That is why I think it is important to

build rapport with students by building trust and getting to know your students

background, homelife, or any information that will help me help them learn. It is kind of a

help me help you type of thing to me because I am one of those students that needs help

with certain things in school. I can relate to students and build a rapport with them by just

simply telling them I wasn’t always the best learner either. Telling the students what is

expected in the classroom can go a long way. Rules are too strong of a word to me meaning

this is how it is supposed to be done this way. If you do this this will be taken. Instead

telling the students the expectation is to be working hard and together, and treating

everyone with respect no matter what.
