My Educational Philosophy

Philosophy is the art which teaches us how to live and when the children need to learn it as much as we do at other ages but to make a decision about the philosophy of education is  the greatest and the most important difficulty for the human beings because they are in a fix  how to bring up children and how to educate them.

According to my point of view, one thing that is obvious that when children  are born they are illiterate, innumerate, ignorant of the norms and values of the society. They do not have any idea about cultural achievements of the community. They are just like a blank paper but with the help of their teachers and their family members, they become able to learn, read and write words so my philosophy of education is that a person can not get any knowledge even a single word without the help of his educator. Our parents are  the great example to prove this statement. When we are child then our parents teach us many things such as  how should we eat our food, what are our moral values etc. so from our childhood we always try to gain something new that is directly or indirectly become the part of our education .

With the help of them we become able to attain our goals what we want in our life. Education provides us knowledge about the various aspects of our life. Without education man is blind. He can not do anything in his life. Through the medium of education we can get success in our life otherwise we will have to wait for it.

  In my life i always try to complete my goals and  I do not like to stick on my own ideas because some people have a great store house of knowledge that can be  very useful for me. I have a great interest to learn something new so that is the main reason to come here and to learn more about teaching. I am also interested to learn new ideas and methods of teaching.

Now in this modern world Philosophy of education can also be understood not as an academic discipline but as a normative educational theory that unifies pedagogy, curriculum, learning theory, and the purpose of education and is grounded in specific metaphysical, epistemological, and axiological assumptions.

Comment on film

According to my point of view Ken Robinson is a great educator. During his conversation he explained various educational topics by using real life examples.He is a good speaker as well as a good entertainer.

 When he was communicating with other people then nobody felt boredom. He get interacted with every single people and he explained his views in a  natural way. The most interesting part of this video was his conversation with his daughter about a watch.

 He wanted to explain that her daughter did not recognize the value of time. She just observed that it is a watch that is old piece. I really appreciate his thoughts and the best way to explain about it. During his conversation he  created humor and tried to explain another good views that are also the part of our life.

In my views, he is a multitasking personality. As an educator he provides his knowledge to others and teach us how can we modify our teaching in the best way.
