Teachers
should develop a
philosophy of teaching. A teaching philosophy essentially is what
you believe about teaching and learning and how you will translate
those
beliefs into practice. However, your philosophy should be based
upon
sound educational research, theory and practice. Based upon the
information
included in this lesson and in previous lessons, write your philosophy
of
teaching. You should be able to articulate your teaching
philosophy
in 1-2 pages. Note: You do not have to deal with every
principle
of learning or motivation or every aspect of research on effective
teaching. |
