My Philosophy of Education

 My Philosophy of Education

Every teacher has her/his own philosophy of education. I think that some teachers will not agree with my own philosophy, but it might be a great one for others. Education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instructions.

Education has goals that must be conveyed to students for the sake of a good generation. First, we can talk about the social aim of education, where the student can meet new people. He gets to know his teachers and friends, and makes new friends for himself that make him more social. Second, we can talk about career aims, where the students when they finish their studies will work. Third, there is a cultural aim, by undergoing education, a child becomes civilized and cultured, also there are moral, intellectual and other aims.

There are a lot of methods of learning, some are good and others are bad. If I need to list the bad ones, I can talk about direct instructions, sensory learning and others. But in my opinion the best methods are flipped classrooms where it is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning, which aims to increase student learning by having students complete readings at home. Also, we can talk about learning through exploring environments, reality, and lived and virtual experiences with tutorial support. Furthermore, customized and game based learning are such good methods.

The curriculum that the school I teach in is Al-Ahlia edition. Actually, it is a good edition, but I think that the curriculum in Lebanon is very big one. In my opinion the curriculum in Lebanon should be changed, and remove some padding from the syllabus. 

Finally, my role in class is explaining well and in different ways, answering the questions that students have whenever they need to ask, preparing well before the class, being friendly, funny, lovable with students, because a student will not love the subject if he/she doesn't love the teacher. On the other hand, students should be well prepared, polite, calm, ask about things that he/she doesn't understand, and don’t cheat.
