PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

By BELINDA C.CABAUATAN


What makes teacher different or unique with one another?It is that merely a difference in their educational philosophy that differentiates them in the eyes of their student Their philosophy determines how effective they are at imparting knowledge,and what legacies they will leave behind.When we carefully think about the many teachers and professors that we have encountered in our lives, we begin to see a stark difference in everyone's educational philosophy. Every teacher has their own unique way of delivering learning and teachings to their pupils, and this affects the intensity with which these teachings are accepted, and the fondness with which these teachers are remembered. We all have that one special teacher that we will always remember, and this is solely dependent on that individual’s educational philosophy.

The philosophy of education of a teacher is a statement of purpose of sorts, which outlines this persons views on the manner in which education is supposed to be delivered. It can also be termed as a vision statement of the person, and what he/she aims to instill in the students in order to develop them on all levels. Every person will have their own individualistic style of teaching their students, and it is their philosophy in education that determines how they intend to go about it
Educational philosophy should serve as a guiding light for the rest of that persons teaching career, and it should specify their broad goals and purposes of being a teacher. No matter what happens, they should always stick to their philosophy. Education is not an easy gift to impart as it involves many intricacies, and the least that is expected of teachers is to have a clear vision and purpose for doing what they do

1. PLATO –Plato was the earliest most important Greek Philosopher and educational thinker. Plato thinks education as a key for a society and he stress on education, for this purpose he want to go to the extreme level even removing children from their mothers and rise them by the state, he want to identify the skills of the children and give them proper education for that particular skill which they have so they could be become a suitable member of the society and fulfil their duty in society. Plato want to a search for intelligent and gifted children in the whole society, Plato's don’t belief that talent belong to a limited class therefore he stress on education for all so the talented children get the chance to shine.

2. ARISTOTLE- He believed that education was central - the fulfilled person was an educated person. Here I want to focus on those elements of his thought that continue to play a key part in theorizing informal education. From this we should act to work for that which is good or 'right', rather than that which is merely 'correct'.

Fourth, and linked to the above, Aristotle bequeathed to us the long-standing categorizing of disciplines into the theoretical, practical and technical. We have suffered at different points from a continuing emphasis in education.
Just person can be related to a just society; both of them function similarly as a whole. Social justice occurs when each member of society plays the role for which his nature best suits him. Individual or moral justice occurs when the individual is harmonizing and keep all factors of his being in balance. Plato's view of a just society and a just individual is the aspiration for the gain of the whole over the individual.

3. AVICENNA of these ideas ties together Plato's ideal republic. Plato claims that justice occurs when all three parts of the whole performs their legitimate functions. he Republic written by Plato examines many things. It mainly is about Plato seems to believe that the perfect life is led only under perfect conditions which is the perfect society. Within the perfect society there would have to be justice. In the Republic it seems that justice is
defined many different ways.

4. JOHN LOCKE - The first is that education makes the man; as Locke writes at the opening of his treatise, "I think I may say that of all the men we meet with, nine parts of ten are what they are, good or evil, useful or not, by their education. Locke posits an “empty” mind—atabula rasa—that is “filled” by experience. In describing the mind in these terms, He was drawing on Plato's Theatetus, which suggests that the mind is like a "wax tablet. Essay Locke posits an “empty” mind—atabula rasa—that is “filled” by experience. In describing the mind in these terms, Locke was drawing on Plato's Theatetus

5. JEAN – JACQUES ROUSSEAU - The basic philosophy of education that Rousseau advocates in the Emile, much like his thought in the first two Discourses, is rooted in the notion that human beings are good by nature. The Emile is a large work, which is divided into five Books, and Book One opens with Rousseau’s claim that the goal of education should be to cultivate our natural tendencies.
Rousseau's ideas about education have profoundly influenced modern educational theory. He minimizes the importance of book learning, and recommends that a child's emotions should be educated before his reason. He placed a special emphasis on learning by experience.

6. PAULO FREIRE –He e is best known for his attack on what he called the banking concept ofeducation, in which the student was viewed as an empty account to be filled by
the teacher. In this concept knowledge is a gift bestowed by those who considerhemselves knowledgeable upon those whom they consider to know nothing.Freire wantsus to think in terms of teacher­student and student­teacher, that is, a teacher who
learns and a learner who teaches, as the basic roles of classroom participation.

7. MONTESORRI EDUCATION - Montessori educational practice helps children develop creativity, problem solving, social, and time-management skills, to contribute to society and the environment, and to become fulfilled persons in their particular time and place on Earth. The basis of Montessori practice in the classroom is respected individual choice of research and work, and uninterrupted concentration rather than group lessons led by an adult.Children are free to work at their own pace. pace. They share what they have learned while reinforce their own knowledge.
