In my interpretation, this statement is the culmination of the ultimate goal of education in all societies and cultures. The differences lie in our specific philosophies or applications of educational philosophy, or in other words “an approach.” When evaluating my philosophy of education, my views are very clear but ever changing to the needs and standards of each specific situation, while fulfilling basic working knowledge. This philosophy entails a combination of essentialism and progressivism(Ryan &Cooper, p. 313-316). I believe that children do have a desire to learn. They have needs to be fulfilled, but they also need to have discipline. Hard work is will be taught as well. In a classroom, the children cannot overthrow you; you must be able to control them. You need to be firm yet loving. Not only do I desire that they le

Although technology is a very important part of today’s workforce and general society it is not necessarily the ‘end all and be all’ of education. Although I do believe technology should be a part of the basic curriculum, I do not feel that it should be the center of which.

But why do societies educate children? The answer is both complex and simple. At first glance, it appears that such education is to prepare a child for life as an adult, this is true.

We know from research that students learn best in student-centered classrooms where they are actively involved not only with the subject matter, but also with their classmates and their teachers. Teacher-centered courses, which emphasize formal lectures and note taking, questions held until the end of class, and little student participation in learning activities, do not seem to promote as much learning as classrooms in which students have a voice.

As far as climate is concerned, teachers should seek to create a climate in which students will want and be able to participate and learn. The teachers should establish good rapport with students, while helping all students overcome anxiety as an obstacle to learning. Teachers have also been known to benefit from the ability to read nonverbal cues to students' feelings and attitudes. Also, research has proved that correcting students in ways that they remain involved and
