Philosophy of Education

In this paper, I wish to discuss my beliefs for education. These beliefs include my philosophy in a general manner, and the reasons why I want to become an educator. In this paper I will also describe what my furture classroom will look like, and how my classroom will be run. I also discuss my views on education reform in conclusion.

I have found that my philosophy of education is a combination of two philosophies. They are Idealism and Realism. I also agree with two points in the Existentialism and pragmatism philosophies. L believe that a teacher should know their content very well. This is one of the most important things that I believe that I should do as a classroom teacher. I also believe that the classroom teacher is a model for the students. The students will watch them to see how they live their lives and how they react to situations that may arise in the classroom. I also believe that each child in the world today is a valuable contribution to society. Each child can fulfill any dream they may have, but I also believe that your dreams need to be reasonable. Each child can contribute something to society because the world needs farmers just as much as they need politicians. Another important thing that I believe should be focused on is to encourage students to seek the truth. I feel that this statement means that a student need to establish their own beliefs on issues, and they also need to be able to back up why they believe what they believe. These beliefs need to be personal. The teacher does not need to focus on their own personal beliefs, but also on beliefs that are opposite of theirs. A teacher needs to focus on the good and bad things on eac...

    Once the patient is stable and can have a CT scan done, this is the best diagnostic test to determine craniocerebral trauma. Other diagnostic studies that may be done to indicate a head injury include an MRI, PET, transcranial Doppler studies, and a cervical spine x-ray. A Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) may be used to test neurologic function. The worst score a patient can receive is a 3, with the best being a 15. A score of 8 means the person needs to be intubated. This is important to monitor because patient’s can deteriorate very quickly. Due to the magnitude of the patient’s, vital signs should be checked at least every 15 minutes. The head of the bed should be raised to 30 degrees because of the presence of possible cerebral spinal fluid from her nose. This fluid should be checked for the presence of glucose (Halo’s sign) to confirm that it is in fact cerebral spinal fluid. Intracranial pressure should be monitored using ventriculostomy, which is when a catheter is inserted into the lateral ventricle to remove cerebral spinal fluid. Along with this, supplemental oxygen should be administered to the patient via a non-rebreather mask. It is also important to initiate at least two large bore IV’s to maintain access incase the patient is to receive any medication or

  • Argumentative Essay On Nuclear Fusion

    1691 Words  | 4 Pages

    Deuterium is inexpensively extracted from water, and tritium is produced during the reaction itself via lithium. Deuterium and lithium are placed within a containment field created by two large electromagnets, with water below, and the two are heated until they become highly ionized gas, or plasma. From there, the heat is maintained until the two sets of plasma come together, or fuse, and release a burst of energy that surpasses all other methods, including nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is a safer method of nuclear power, as the isotopes are proven stable both alone and together, are not exceedingly radioactive, and do not pose any known threat of pollution. Alongside this, nuclear fusion is an “intrinsically safe [fusion] reactor operation” as a combination of the “sensitive temperature-pressure balance requirement for reactions to occur” and the minimal amount of material necessary to produce energy ensures that “even in the event of a loss of coolant or power-failure, there is no danger of runaway processes caused by uncontrolled chain-reactions, avoiding the possibility of major accidents.” (“Fusion” 10) Nuclear fusion can be considered a method of harnessing renewable solar energy, and easily complements not only the existing solar initiatives, but those of wind and hydroelectric power as well. (“Fusion”) Currently, nuclear

    Urgent surgical intervention is more common in patients with an incomplete spinal injury. If the neurologic dysfunction worsens, urgent surgical intervention is necessary. The decision to operate depends on many circumstances. The cause and extent of the injury and spinal stability issues is to be taken in consideration. The type of surgery to be performed is decided by the surgeon. Surgery to treat a spinal injury involves decompressing the spine and stabilizing the spine. Surgery may not reverse spinal cord damage. However, decompression and spinal stabilization are important to prevent pain, deformity, and progression of neurologic deficits such as weakness, tingling, bowel or bladder

  • Difference Between Progressivism And Existentialism

    1641 Words  | 4 Pages

    To be a teacher it is imperative to have philosophies on teaching; why you want to teach, how you want to teach, and what you want to teach. There are six main philosophies of education; essentialism, behaviorism, progressivism, existentialism, perennialism, and reconstructionism. My two strongest philosophies are progressivism and existentialism. Progressivism in short is the philosophy where the student utilizes their ability to access knowledge for themselves with a method they have discovered on their own instead of simply being told answers. This creates deeper thinking. Existentialism is the philosophy that the student decides how and what they will learn, they also decide what they think to be true and false. This creates

  • Nuclear Fusion Argumentative Essay

    When this happens, the benefits to society will be plenteous. This will make way to a nearly unlimited power supply that will have no harmful emissions or decay, resulting in a cleaner and friendlier environment, as well as providing cheaper energy costs, safer energy productions, and providing almost anyone with the ability to have and use energy (The Energy Source.) Many people in today’s society are looking to cleaner energy options to improve our environmental imprint and to reverse carbon emissions. Using nuclear fusion to create energy will essentially eliminate all sources of energy that produce carbon emissions like propane, coal, and even gasoline by reason of electric automobiles. Nuclear fusion will severely reduce the cost of energy for people by virtue of that it is practically unlimited in its supply, making it easier for people to obtain electrical energy. There would be no worry of energy consumption due to how much the reactor would be producing . Though the research and the product itself are not currently available, the finished product will be something that will help mankind for all of
