Philosophy of Education

Jean-Paul Sartre said, “Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself” (Myra, David, 402). According to him, personality is made by him/herself according to environment, religion, or society and everyone has a different belief and idea such as how they want to behave toward others or what I want to be on their own through their experience or life. Everyone has his or her own belief, philosophy, and dream but also I have my own concept. My philosophy of education revolves around why I want to be a teacher, my own philosophy of education, and what I want to do in future.

After reading the nonfiction book by Torey F Hayden ”The Child, Sheera” I was influenced to be a childhood special education teacher. If I didn’t read her book, I would not consider that I want to be a special education teacher. The author, Torey F Haydan was a specialist of a childhood special education and wrote about her experiences. She had a class for handicapped children and devoted her life to them. She always took care of her students. I was so impressed by her dedication that I realized that I want to be a special education teacher.

Not only did her book influence me, but children make me happy. Spending time with them, I feel happy even if I may be having a bad day. Through my elementary field experience, I have found students are friendly and open-minded. At first, I was so nervous because I am not a native and I have trouble speaking English well, so I ...

  • Polital Parties in Britain's Government

    1801 Words  | 4 Pages

    ...ssay has argued that British political parties have suffered from a decline in membership due to internal factors including change or reluctance to change. Secondly, a change in society and social groups has further damaged political parties, as they have had to adjust to a shift in voter audience. Finally, the disempowerment of the British government and its political parties has had a negative effect on the population who started to doubt party efficiency and contributed to the decline in participation and in turn, of the parties. All these factors show that indeed British political parties are in decline, but this does not mean that British parties will disappear; as the Hughton Report mentioned in 1976, “if the parties fail, then democracy fails”. Our democratic system needs political parties to function properly; it is not too late for British party resurgence.

  • Weapons In The Dark Ages

    Ranged weapons on the other hand were used a lot more frequently than these other weapons. The ranged weapons include throwing axes, javelins, bows, longbows, and crossbows. The throwing axe, or the francisca, was a throwing axe used as a weapon in the early Middle Ages by the Franks. The throwing axe is described as an arch-shape head, widened toward the cutting edge and point at both upper and lower corners. (Medieval Weapons) The top of the head is usually an S-shaped. The javelin on the other hand is basically a light spear. The Norse were familiar with the javelin for hunting and warfare. A bow is a weapon that is able to shoot arrows by using elasticity. A long bow is a type of bow that is really tall. The benefits of having such a long bow is that you will be able to draw back the bow string farther than you can with a smaller bow. This way you can have a lot more force that will push the arrow a lot father. Believe it or not, the long bow isn’t the biggest bow. The flatbed is a bigger bow than the long bow. The long bow is made from a single piece of wood. For thousands of years long bows have been used for hunting and warfare. In the military an archer would be given up to at least sixty to seventy arrows to use while in battle. (Medieval

  • Centered Around Playing Baseball, David Perkins' Book, Making Learning Whole

    826 Words  | 2 Pages

    The book Making Learning Whole by David Perkins is developed teaching examples centered on a metaphor of playing a baseball game. Perkins feels that education is damaged when teachers break down knowledge into individual facts. When teachers teach only bits and pieces of knowledge at a time, students only get bits and pieces and not the overall picture. This hampers the students overall learning potential. I feel that his analysis about learning about realistic activities and getting students to engage in each aspect of learning will allow the student to acquire more meaningful connections in learning. I do feel that when a student sees the relevance in what is being taught, they will be able to make meaningful connections and also progress both critical knowledge and also have more success at attacking the challenging parts. Perkins Theory of learning by playing the whole game is a fun way to conceptualize teaching while shaping the minds of our students. While using baseline experiences, teachers can challenge current thinking to entice their students. Giving students the end concept as a main focus, while putting all the pieces together, helps students engage in critical thinking aspects of learning. Showing how this impact their life, or how they can apply the information to their life will give the students a more accurate understanding of content.

  • Statement of Pupose for Automotive Engineering

    Cars are the ultimate symbol of independence and individualism. They offer more than freedom. No other man made creation but car fulfills a man’s ego. Technology has been the evidence of how cars have evolved for about more than a century now. From a first car packing a single cylinder 958cc, 0.75hp engine to today’s most powerful 8000cc W16, 1300bhp Veyron. We live in such an engineering savvy era where even an increase of few grams in a vehicle’s weight means going back to the drawing board to get unerring dynamic performance. And for these exuberant reasons, mechanical engineering was a mere choice rather than a chance for me.

I can always remember when I was a kid how much I was obsessed with how the stuff around me functioned. When I was six years old, I disassembled my father mechanical alarm clock to see how it works; I still remember the glaze in my eyes while watching the gears inside the clock moving in a specific way to make this beautifully elegant yet simple invention. Since that day I became more obsessed with how the mechanics behind objects around me worked. During the summer of grade five, I became more enthusiastic about exploring mechanics.
