Q.1 Analyze Plato's theory of education

Ans:- The thoughts of the decision class are in each age the decision thoughts, for example the class which is the decision material
power of society, is simultaneously its decision scholarly power. The class which has the methods for material creation available to
its, subsequently likewise controls simultaneously the methods for mental creation, so the thoughts of the individuals who come up
short on the methods for mental creation are dependent upon it. The decision thoughts are just the ideal articulation of the
predominant material connections got a handle on as thoughts; thus of the connections which make the one class the decision one,
in this manner, the thoughts of its strength. The people creating the decision class have in addition to other things awareness, and
accordingly think. Insofar, consequently, as they rule as a class and decide the degree and compass of an age, it is undeniable that
they do this in its entire reach, henceforth in addition to other things rule likewise as scholars, as makers of thoughts, and manage
the creation and dissemination of the thoughts of their age; accordingly their thoughts are the decision thoughts of the age."

Schooling is the way in to Plato's plan of an equitable and ethical society. Administering classes of all the ages following crumbling of
the crude socialism generally dependable and powerful instrument of delivering thoughts and along these lines making the structure
and level of awareness. Not just it has truly assumed part of philosophical device yet in addition of progressive changes, contingent
upon the personality of schooling [2].Plato understood this with his encounters during the 12 years of meandering after Socrates'
execution in BC 399. To understand his considered thought Ideal State, first assignment he attempted was to set up Academy in the
common feeling at the edges of Athens, the main expectation of the advanced college system[3]. Plato discusses social equity and
individual equity and the simply individual is formation of a fitting and thus schooling. The structure of Plato's hypothesis of the Ideal
State governed by the logician lords/sovereigns lays on the mainstays of his speculations of schooling and the socialism. Plato
understood the significance of training in characterizing and controlling information for an authoritative social request. Our Vedic
and Buddhist progenitors had this acknowledgment much before Greeks, however for differentiating objectives, previous for
confining the obtaining of information characterized by them and hoarding it for the propagation of social authority and later for
ubiquitousspread of information characterized by itin terms of genuine circumstances focused on the annihilation of the authority.

Educationis so gigantically essential in Plato's plan that it is the subject of center in all the books (sections) from ii to vii with the
exception of book v of the Republic. Rousseau calls it "the best composition on training that always was written"[4]. Through state
controlled and kept up instruction framework the rulers could make such attitudes that would help holding the social request and
amicability. For Plato, the State's need must be training that will deal with the wide range of various issues. From that point forward,
the schooling has remained the best philosophical contraption in the possession of the decision classes. Plato is the principal western
savant to guess and place practically speaking through the foundation of Academy, the idea of institutionalizedpublic training
framework in the west. China and India had effectively entrenched frameworks of standardized instruction. In antiquated India,
there were two contending instruction instructive frameworks. The Brahmanical Gurkulsystem, a tyrant arrangement of guidance in
which the Guru (instructor) was undoubtedly. In some Sanskrit sayings, he is likened with God[5]. Neither addressing nor any
discussion conversations were permitted, while information comes from not what is instructed, but rather from addressing what is
educated. It conferred the schooling of congruity; similarity withthe set up Brahmanical progressive social request. The offspring of
just the decision classes in the fourfold social division were permitted the accessto training. Buddhist convention was a progressive,
persuasive arrangement of discussion conversation, and majority rule talk. There is neither degree nor the need of interruption
intoBuddhist and Brahmanical schools of instruction; it is simply to suggest the noteworthy reality that training might be an
instrument of unrest just as of reaction.The current instruction of logical upset and Enlightenment assumed a progressive part by
liberating the information framework from the grasp of philosophy. It was fundamental for the common popularity based upheaval
against the backward feudalism. The liberal free enterprise dependent on the modern upset required logical temper and creative
outlook to address and develop. The consistent end product of logical training is scrutinizing its case of the finish of history. Need of
neo-liberal worldwide capital is no greater discernment except for congruity. There is no extent of going into the historical backdrop
of changes in the idea of institutional training in correspondence with the changing requirements of the decision classes. Plato is
additionally the primary rationalist in the western convention to conceptualize state kept up and controlled training. Lately,
especially since the globalization, states have been renouncing their upkeep obligation while escalating the command over it[6].

History of information ismuch more seasoned than the historical backdrop of training. Truth be told the set of experiences
information is as old as the set of experiences mankind. Information is constant rationalistic cycle of learning and forgetting since the
time the people started to separate themselves from animals of the world collectively by creating and repeating their vocation by
utilization of work and the dynamic brain, a human animal varieties explicit property. In old crude social orders, those viewed as
learned were endowed with positions like cleric or authority and counseled about nobility of specific perspectives or acts. The
excursion of information through taking in forgetting measure from encounters and tests has covered a significant distance, to put it
allegorically, from Stone Age to digital age. The intelligent people of each age basically merge and expand upon the accomplishments
of past ages. There is no extent of point by point conversation on the historical backdrop of information; I have managed it,
elsewhere.[7]The history of schooling is nearly as old as the division of society into classes of haves and the less wealthy with
breaking down of crude networks. The change of resource economy into surplus economy and allotment of excess prompted their
command over the general public's methods for creation. Frameworks of training started to develop the information in light of a
legitimate concern for the predominant classes and give legitimacy to their authority. Plato accepted that information is the most
elevated prudence consequently argued for the matchless quality of information however not the information on common things,
the information on the Idea of Good, as characterized by him. Out of the colossal populace just a not many have the probability and
capacity to know the Idea of good. How is it decided and figured it out? It is done through training enduring up to the period of
logicians.

The significance of schooling in Plato's political plan

Plato's need for schooling can be effectively perceived as half of the space of the Republic is committed to training. He believed
instruction to be certain fix of the all ills of the general public. Like his hypothesis of socialism, the hypothesis of schooling is
additionally a coherent conclusion of the hypothesis of ideal express that he hypothetically develops for his focal worry of the equity.
Equity for him is everybody's acting as indicated by his inclination. Also, one can know and understand one's temperament however
schooling. The premise of the ideal state is theory and investigation of reasoning requires the all around arranged instructive
framework. Buddhist instruction was pointed toward breaking a set up class society of Varnashram request dependent on the
authority of information. Brahmanical arrangement of information was to protect the current class society while Plato's pointed
toward making a class society based on the authority of the information. For him dealing with training is state's preeminent duty, as
it is instrumental to make politically inconsistent classes and keep up it with regards to politically libertarian Athens, despite the
monetary disparities.

In Plato's Republic, the authority of the ideal state administered by the savants is outright that requires total subjection of individual
to the state. In this way, the schooling must be intended to the point that shape the outlook to suit the law of the state, as imagined
by the rulers. Rousseau in his evaluate of the human advancement thinks that affability presents duality. One needs to look what
one isn't – the interminable inconsistency of substance and appearance. This duality is most unmistakably noticeable in customary
Indian families. Guardians and youngsters live under similar rooftop for quite a long time without ever fairly cooperating, they just
progressively impart. Kids disguise these estimations of progressive relations of 'control' and submission as the regular and the
honest way. Control and unchallenged dutifulness to unrivaled is underlined in the start of the conversation on instruction for
planning of future generations[8]. This is finished by adjusting them to think into only one way, seen to be the upright way, by
creators obviously educational plan or the educator. There is no extent of any disagreeing thoughts in the ideal state controlled by
thinker ruler. Such thoughts of the past must be carefully edited. "At that point the primary thing will be to set up a control of the
journalists of fiction, and let the blue pencils get any story of fiction which is acceptable, and reject the terrible; and we will want
moms and attendants to tell their youngsters the approved ones as it were.

Q.2 Describe the Impact of John Dewery's Philosophy on Modern Education.

Ans:- John Dewey is one of the most compelling masterminds throughout the entire existence of current instructive hypothesis. In
this video, we will quickly investigate his philosophical position and how his thoughts have affected training for quite a long time.

John Dewey and Education

John Dewey isn't anything not exactly a demigod of current instruction. His thoughts and ways to deal with tutoring were
progressive thoughts during his lifetime and remain generally essential to present day tutoring today. In this video, we will
investigate the foundation of John Dewey just as a more inside and out glance at his instructive ways of thinking and beliefs. At the
point when we're set, you should have the option to portray Dewey, yet more critically, you should have the option to recognize his
way of thinking in real life.

Memoir

John Dewey was brought into the world in Burlington, Vermont, on October 20, 1859. He was a splendid child, going to school at the
University of Vermont at just 15 years of age! At the University of Vermont, Dewey zeroed in on the investigation of reasoning.
Dewey graduated with his four year college education in 1879. He at that point started his educating vocation. He showed two years
of secondary school in Oil City, PA, and one year of grade school in Charlotte, Vermont.

In 1884, Dewey got his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and quickly started his college showing vocation at the University of
Michigan. Dewey burned through the majority of his initial vocation there, aside from a one-year stretch at the University of
Minnesota. In 1894, Dewey left for the University of Chicago, where he would turn into the top of the way of thinking office. At the
University of Chicago, Dewey would attempt to grow quite a bit of his perspectives that have endured a long ways past his time. In
1904, Dewey would turn into a teacher at Columbia University, where he would resign in 1930.

The Views of John Dewey

John Dewey is presumably generally acclaimed for his part in what is called reformist instruction. Reformist instruction is basically a
perspective on schooling that stresses the need to learn by doing. Dewey accepted that individuals learn through a 'involved'
approach. This spots Dewey in the instructive way of thinking of realism.

Logical thinkers accept that reality must be experienced. From Dewey's instructive perspective, this implies that understudies must
communicate with their current circumstance to adjust and learn. Dewey felt a similar thought was valid for instructors and that
educators and understudies must learn together. His perspective on the homeroom was profoundly established in equitable beliefs,
which advanced equivalent voice among all members in the learning experience.

How John Dewey Reformed Education

Dewey's realistic and popularity based way to deal with tutoring may not stand apart as extremist today, however in the early and
mid-1900s, his perspective on training was in logical inconsistency to a significant part of the then-present arrangement of tutoring.
Dewey's methodology was genuinely youngster focused. A youngster focused way to deal with schooling places the accentuation of
learning on the requirements and interests of the kid. In Dewey's view, kids should be permitted to investigate their surroundings.

He trusted in an interdisciplinary educational plan, or an educational program that centers around associating various subjects,
where understudies are permitted to openly move all through study halls as they seek after their inclinations and develop their own
ways for securing and applying information. The part of the educator in this setting is serve more as a facilitator than a teacher. In
Dewey's view, the educator ought to notice the interest of the understudies, notice the headings they normally take, and afterward
fill in as somebody who creates critical thinking aptitudes.

Generally, an instructor would remain before a gathering of understudies who are for the most part sitting in lines. The educator is
generally the deliverer of data and the occupation of the understudies is typically to get this data and disgorge it in some type of a
composed test.

Conversely, in a study hall dependent on the thoughts of John Dewey, you may see an educator convey foundation content data, yet
you would likewise likely observe understudies working in gatherings, with those gatherings investigating contrasting ideas inside
the substance. You would see bunches of discussion and loads of coordinated effort. While you may see a composed test, you may
likewise observe understudy undertakings, introductions, or other separated procedures of assessment.
Q.3 Develop a teaching method based on Muslim philosophy of education.

Ans:- Islam set a high incentive on instruction, and, as the confidence spread among assorted people groups, training turned into a
significant channel through which to make an all inclusive and durable social request. By the center of the ninth century, information
was isolated into three classifications: the Islamic sciences, the philosophical and normal sciences (Greek information), and the
abstract expressions. The Islamic sciences, which stressed the investigation of the Qurʾān (the Islamic sacred text) and the Ḥadīth
(the platitudes and conventions of the Prophet Muhammad) and their understanding by driving researchers and scholars, were
esteemed the most exceptionally, yet Greek grant was considered similarly significant, yet less upright.

Early Muslim schooling underscored pragmatic examinations, for example, the use of mechanical skill to the improvement of water
system frameworks, design developments, materials, iron and steel items, ceramic, and cowhide items; the assembling of paper and
black powder; the headway of trade; and the support of a dealer marine. After the eleventh century, notwithstanding,
denominational interests ruled higher learning, and the Islamic sciences accomplished transcendence. Greek information was
concentrated in private, if by any means, and the artistic expressions decreased in centrality as instructive strategies empowering
scholastic opportunity and new learning were supplanted by a shut framework described by a bigotry toward logical developments,
mainstream subjects, and inventive grant. This denominational framework spread all through eastern Islam from Transoxania
(generally, current Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and southwest Kazakhstan) to Egypt, with around 75 schools in presence between around
1050 and 1250.

The arrangement of instruction in the Muslim world was unintegrated and undifferentiated. Learning occurred in an assortment of
organizations, among them the ḥalqah, or study circle; the maktab (kuttab), or grade school; the royal residence schools; bookshops
and scholarly salons; and the different sorts of universities, the fit, the masjid, and the madrasa. All the schools showed basically
similar subjects.

The least complex kind of early Muslim instruction was offered in the mosques, where researchers who had congregated to examine
the Qurʾān started after a short time to show the strict sciences to intrigued grown-ups. Mosques expanded in number under the
caliphs, especially the ʿAbbāsids: 3,000 of them were accounted for in Baghdad alone in the primary many years of the tenth
century; upwards of 12,000 were accounted for in Alexandria in the fourteenth century, the vast majority of them with schools
joined. A few mosques, for example, that of al-Manṣūr, worked during the reign of Hārūn al-Rashīd in Baghdad, or those in Isfahan,
Mashhad, Ghom, Damascus, Cairo, and the Alhambra (Granada)— became focuses of taking in for understudies from everywhere
the Muslim world. Every mosque generally contained a recent report circles (ḥalqah), so named in light of the fact that the educator
was, when in doubt, situated on a dais or pad with the understudies accumulated in a crescent before him. The further developed an
understudy, the closer he was situated to the educator. The mosque hovers changed in methodology, course substance, size, and
nature of educating, yet the strategy for guidance typically underlined talks and remembrance. Educators were, generally speaking,
viewed as experts of grant, and their talks were carefully recorded in journals. Understudies regularly made long excursions to join
the hover of an extraordinary instructor. A few circles, particularly those in which the Ḥadīth was contemplated, were enormous to
such an extent that it was fundamental for aides to rehash the talk so every understudy could hear and record it.

Grade schools (maktab, or kuttab), in which students figured out how to peruse and compose, date to the pre-Islamic period in the
Arab world. After the approach of Islam, these schools formed into habitats for guidance in rudimentary Islamic subjects.
Understudies were required to retain the Qurʾān as consummately as could reasonably be expected. A few schools likewise
remembered for their educational plan the investigation of verse, rudimentary number juggling, handwriting, morals (habits), and
rudimentary punctuation. Maktabs were very basic in pretty much every town or town in the Middle East, Africa, Sicily, and Spain.

Schools directed in imperial castles showed the educational program of the maktabs as well as social and social investigations
intended to set up the understudy for advanced education, for administration in the public authority of the caliphs, or for obliging
society. The educators were called muʾaddibs, or teachers in great habits. The specific substance of the educational program was
determined by the ruler, however speech, history, convention, formal morals, verse, and the specialty of good discussion were
frequently included. Guidance normally proceeded with long after the students had passed early age.
The serious level of learning and grant in Islam, especially during the ʿAbbāsid time frame in eastern Islam and the later Umayyads in
western Islam, energized the advancement of bookshops, copyists, and book sellers in enormous, significant Islamic urban areas, for
example, Damascus, Baghdad, and Córdoba. Researchers and understudies spent numerous hours in these bookshop schools
perusing, inspecting, and considering accessible books or buying most loved determinations for their private libraries. Book sellers
went to acclaimed book shops looking for uncommon compositions for buy and resale to authorities and researchers and
subsequently added to the spread of learning. Numerous such original copies discovered their approach to private libraries of
renowned Muslim researchers, for example, Avicenna, al-Ghazālī, and al-Fārābī, who thusly made their homes communities of
academic interests for their #1 understudies.

Essential to Muslim instruction however the circle schools, the maktabs, and the royal residence schools were, they encapsulated
clear instructive restrictions. Their educational programs were restricted; they couldn't generally draw in very much prepared
educators; actual offices were not generally helpful for an amicable instructive climate; and clashes among strict and common points
in these schools were practically hostile. Above all, these schools couldn't meet the developing requirement for prepared staff or
give adequate instructive occasions to the individuals who wished to proceed with their examinations. These weights prompted the
formation of another kind of school, the madrasa, which turned into the crown and wonder of archaic Muslim training. The madrasa
was an outgrowth of the masjid, a kind of mosque school dating to the eighth century. The contrasts between these two
organizations are as yet being contemplated, yet most researchers accept that the masjid was likewise a position of love and that, in
contrast to the madrasa, its gift upheld just the personnel and not the understudies too. A third kind of school, the fit (hallowed
place school), was typically a madrasa worked close to a journey community. Whatever their particularities, every one of the three
kinds of school represented considerable authority in lawful guidance, each ending up specialists in one of the four schools of Sunni,
or conventional, Islamic law.

Madrasas may have existed as ahead of schedule as the ninth century, yet the most acclaimed one was established in 1057 by the
vizier Niẓām al-Mulk in Baghdad. The Niẓāmīyah, gave to Sunni learning, filled in as a model for the foundation of a broad
organization of such establishments all through the eastern Islamic world, particularly in Cairo, which had 75 madrasas; in Damascus,
which had 51; and in Aleppo, where the quantity of madrasas rose from 6 to 44 somewhere in the range of 1155 and 1260.

Significant organizations likewise created in western Islam, under the Umayyads, in the Spanish urban areas of Córdoba, Sevilla
(Seville), Toledo, Granada, Murcia, Almería, Valencia, and Cádiz. The madrasas had no standard educational program; the originator
of each school decided the particular courses that would be instructed, yet they by and large offered guidance in both the strict
sciences and the actual sciences. The commitment of these organizations to the progression of information was huge. Muslim
researchers determined the point of the ecliptic; estimated the size of the Earth; determined the precession of the equinoxes;
clarified, in the field of optics and material science, such wonders as refraction of light, gravity, slender fascination, and sundown;
and created observatories for the exact investigation of glorious bodies. They made advances in the employments of medications,
spices, and nourishments for medicine; set up clinics with an arrangement of assistants and externs; found reasons for specific
illnesses and created right findings of them; proposed new ideas of cleanliness; utilized sedatives in medical procedure with recently
enhanced careful devices; and presented the study of dismemberment in life structures. They advanced the logical rearing of ponies
and steers; discovered better approaches for joining to create new kinds of blossoms and natural products; presented newideas of
water system, treatment, and soil development; and refined the study of route. In the zone of science, Muslim grant prompted the
disclosure of such substances as potash, liquor, nitrate of silver, nitric corrosive, sulfuric corrosive, and mercury chloride. It
additionally created to a serious level of flawlessness expressions of the human experience of materials, earthenware production,
and metallurgy.

The renaissance of Islamic culture and grant grew to a great extent under the ʿAbbāsid organization in eastern Islam and later under
the Umayyads in western Islam, fundamentally in Spain, somewhere in the range of 800 and 1000. This last period, the brilliant time
of Islamic grant, was generally a time of interpretation and understanding of Classical musings and their transformation to Islamic
religious philosophy and reasoning. The time frame additionally saw the presentation and absorption of Hellenistic, Persian, and
Hindu science, stargazing, polynomial math, geometry, and medication into Muslim culture.
Q.4 Compare curriculums developed on the bases of modern philosophies of education.

Ans:- Teaching is like a salad. Think about it. If you were to attend a party for any given holiday, the number of and variations to each
salad recipe that might be present for consumption could outnumber those present at the party. There are so many different ways
to teach, varying circumstances to take into account, and philosophies to apply to each classroom. And what better way to have a
positive impact on the world than to offer knowledge for consumption? The term ‘teacher’ can be applied to anyone who imparts
knowledge of any topic, but it is generally more focused on those who are hired to do so (teach, n.d., n.p.). In imparting knowledge
to our students, it is inevitable that we must take into account our own personal philosophies, or pedagogies, and determine not
only how we decide what our philosophies are, but also how those impact our consumers.

An analogy is one of a teacher’s most useful tools. It helps the instructor relate a difficult concept to something the students will
already have the infrastructure for, thus enabling the students to cement the ideas in their mind.

Lessons in Pedagogy

Early teacher education classes frequently separated the concept of philosophy into separate schools (Roberson, 2000, p. 8).
“Philosophy has been taught in the theoretical realm rather than the practical sense,” meaning that the ideas were placed before
the teachers without the scaffolding to create a bridge into the classroom (Roberson, 2000, p. 7). The teachers, as students, were
given a body of thought and expected to translate that into lessons for their own students. Once you have the idea, how do you
apply it to teaching?

What, exactly, are education philosophies? According to Thelma Roberson (2000), most prospective teachers confuse their beliefs
with the ideas of teaching (p. 6). Education philosophies, then, are not what you want to do in class to aid learning, but why you do
them and how they work. For example, Roberson’s students state they “want to use cooperative learning techniques” in their
classroom. The question posed is, why? “[I]s cooperative learning a true philosophy or is it something you do in the classroom
because of your belief about the way children learn?” (Roberson, 2000, p. 6). Philosophies need to translate ideas into action – if you
want to use certain techniques, then you need to understand how they are effective in the classroom to create that portion of your
education philosophy. It helps to have an overview of the various schools out there.

Philosophies of Education have traveled down a tree of branches. The first four support branches of philosophy are the Idealist
school, the Realist school, the Pragmatist school, and the Existential schools of thought (Ornstein, 2003, p. 99). It might help to look
at the tree and its individual branches rather than read about them…

Idealism – focuses on a subject-matter curriculum emphasizing the great ideas of the culture. You must ponder ideas to make them
whole (Ornstein, 2003, p. 99).

Realism – A subject-matter curriculum stressing objective knowledge and values. Reality is objective, meaning everyone should
obtain the same results regardless of what he does or how he consider concepts (Ornstein, 2003, p. 101)

Perennialism – Focuses on human concerns that have caused concern for centuries, revealed through ‘great works’ (Ornstein, 2003,
p. 110)

Essentialism – Rooted partially in Idealism, as well – Emphasizes skills and subjects that demonstrate the cultural heritage and
contribute to society (Ornstein, 2003, p. 110)

Pragmatism – Instruction is organized around problem-solving following the steps of the scientific method – emphasizes the need to
act on concepts by testing them (Ornstein, 2003, p. 104).

Progressivism – Instruction features problem solving and group activities – The instructor acts as a facilitator as opposed to a leader
(Ornstein, 2003, p. 110)

Social Reconstructionism – Instruction that focuses on significant social and economic problems in an effort to solve them (Ornstein,
2003, pg.110)
Existentialism – Classroom dialogue stimulates awareness – each person creates an awareness gleaned from discussion and
encourages deep personal reflection on his or her convictions (Ornstein, 2003, p. 108).

Perennialism

Perennialists are instructors who feel that the knowledge that has been passed through the ages should be continued as the basis of
the curriculum, like the classic works of Plato and Einstein. Perennialists base their teachings on reason, logic, and analytical thought.
Only information that stood the test of time is relevant. They do not illicit student input. The classes most likely to be considered
under this approach would be history, science, math, and religion classes (Educational Philosophies in the

The instructors whose teaching philosophies are based on documented facts and tangible truths are normally those who would be in
the math and science departments. These teachers do not feel that religion and the supernatural should be a part of the thinking
process. The idea of uncertainty and the unknown is considered illogical (Educational Philosophies in the Classroom, pg.1).

Bbelieve in rewards and punishments as an approach to controlling the teaching environment due to their belief in the intrinsic
nature of humans to react to internal or external stimuli. This teacher-centered system ultimately allows the students to be
controlled by the educator, who makes the environment pleasant or unpleasant depending on the students’ behavior (Foundations
of Education, pg.1).

Essentialists believe that there is a universal pool of knowledge needed by all students. The fundamentals of teaching are the basis
of the curriculum: math, science, history, foreign language, and English. Vocational classes are not seen as a necessary part of
educational training. Classrooms are formal, teacher-centered, and students are passive learners. Evaluations are predominately
through testing, and there are few, if any, projects or portfolios. These instructors easily accept the No Child Left-Behind Act because
test scores are the main form of evaluation (Foundations of Education, pg. 1).

This is a student-centered form of instruction where students follow the scientific method of questioning and searching for the
answer. Evaluations include projects and portfolios. Current events are used to keep students interested in the required subject
matter. Students are active learners as opposed to passive learners. The teacher is a facilitator rather than the center of the
educational process. Student input is encouraged, and students are asked to find their interpretation of the answer (Educational
Philosophies in the classroom, pg.1).

This student-centered philosophy strives to instill a desire to make the world a better place. It places a focus on controversial world
issues and uses current events as a springboard for the thinking process. These students are taught the importance of working
together to bring about change. These teachers incorporate what is happening in the world with what they are learning in the
classroom (Educational Philosophies in the Classroom, pg.1).

Active participation is the key to this teaching style. Students are free to explore their own ideas and share concepts with one
another in nontraditional ways. “Hands on activity […] is the most effective way of learning and is considered true learning”
(Educational Philosophies in the Classroom, pg.1).

Also a student-centered philosophy, this educational method is based on the idea that the students should be presented with
choices about the learning process. The student is engaged in all aspects of learning and works together with the teacher and her
peers to develop a curriculum and evaluation system that allows for individual interests and abilities (Educational philosophies in the
Classroom, pg.1).

Your philosophy of education is what you believe about education and the way children learn.” – Roberson pg 4

In addition, the ‘constructivist’ school of philosophy, rooted in the Pragmatic pedagogy and branched off from the ‘Social
Reconstructivist’ school, has gained much popularity. Around the turn of the century (early 1990s), many teachers felt the rote
memorization and mindless routine that was common then was ineffective, and began to look for alternate ways to reach their
students (Ornstein, 2003, p. 111). Through the constructivist approach, “students “construct” knowledge through an interaction
between what they already think and know and with new ideas and experiences” (Roberson, 2000, p. 8). This is an active learning
process that leads to deeper understanding of the concepts presented in class, and is based on the abilities and readiness of the
children rather than set curriculum guidelines (Ornstein, 2003, p. 112). Constructivism “emphasizes socially interactive and process-
oriented ‘hands on’ learning in which students work collaboratively to expand and revise their knowledge base” (Ornstein, 2003, p.
112). Essentially, knowledge which is shaped by experience is reconstructed, or altered, to assist the student in understanding new
concepts (Ornstein, 2003, p. 112). You, as the teacher, help the students build the scaffolding they need to maintain the information
even after the test is taken and graded.

Once you know how you want to lead your classroom, it is important to consider how to assess your students’ progress. And when
we think of school, we automatically consider the threesome subjects, Reading, Writing, and ‘Rithmatic. In all aspects of learning,
however, the ability to communicate comes to the forefront. Communication is used in class discussion as well as unit test short
answers. Writing is present in almost all subjects in some form, and writing translates to communication. Richard Fulkerson (2000),
in his article “Four Philosophies of Composition,” questions whether “a […] set of four philosophies of composition might exist, each
one stressing a different element in the communicative transaction” (p. 3). Fulkerson’s schools of communicative philosophy fall into
the following categories:Expressionism: a way of writing that demonstrates the students’ thoughts and can be lead by “non-directive
teachers, some of whom insist that one neither can nor should evaluate writing” or more ands-on teachers who “design classroom
activities to maximize student self-discovery” (p. 5). This school of thought emphasizes the student.

Rhetorical: this school states that good writing is adapted to achieve a specific reaction from the audience (p. 6). This is focused on
the connection between goal and process in completing assignments, and it emphasizes the audience.

Mimesis: states that “a clear connection exists between good writing and good thinking” and focuses on logic and reason as
exemplified in the completion of assignments (p. 5). This school emphasizes a well-rounded student in that, research, prior
knowledge, and the ability to recognize both sides of an argument are necessary for success (p. 6).

Formalism: this school focuses primarily on the form of the assignment – it disregards content to the extent that poor grammar can
distract the audience from absorbing the content, and therefore, the work is judged “primarily by whether it shows certain internal
[mistakes]” (p. 4).

While most teachers fall primarily into one school of composition pedagogy, Fulkerson (2000) points out that it is necessary to hold
on to them all when he states “they are not mutually exclusive” (p. 6). The trick is to learn when each is applicable and to what
extent it should be employed.

So, you know how you want to lead your class, and you have an idea as to which kind of ‘grader’ you are. What next? Another area
where teachers have struggled is simply in helping their students learn to or improve their reading. How do we teach reading? The
two battling schools of thought are between those who support Whole Language, and those who support Phonics. “The disputes
have been dubbed the Reading Wars, and the participants call them ‘vicious’” (Collins, 1997, n.p.). Several states have even
intervened and enacted laws mandating one or the other.

But what are they? Just as their names state, the difference is in how the words are read. Phonics was taught primarily in the 1970s
(Collins, 1997, n.p.) and study the individual components of each word, called ‘phonemes,’ which are the “smallest meaningful
sounds in a language” (Collins, 1997, n.p.). “Cat, for example, has three: “kuh-aa-tuh” (Collins, 1997, n.p.). A reader needs to
understand how the words are broken up and that each letter has its own sound in order to read (Collins, 1997, n.p.). Phonic
teaching focuses on code learning. Once the students understand the ‘code,’ and how the words phonemes are put together, they
are supposed to be able to understand the entire word.

Whole language advocates disagree with the process of breaking each word down. They feel readers cannot focus on every letter in
a word, or every word in a text (Collins, 1997, n.p.) and made their opinions known during the 1980s (Collins, 1997, n.p.). If they did,
“and if they tried to translate what they saw into sounds, reading would be much too cumbersome” (Collins, 1997, n.p.). Instead,
whole language teachers instruct their students in ‘skipping strategies’ – ways of guessing which word comes next to fill in any
blanks (Collins, 1997, n.p.). Overall, reading is considered an organic process by which the students learn phonics “only when a
question about phonics comes up in the course of reading” (Collins, 1997, n.p.). Whole language focuses on the meaning behind the
words.

Just as in many other walks of life, statistics and studies show that one philosophy of teaching will prevail over another. The National
Assessment of Educational Progress, as stated in J. Collin’s article (1997), claims that “from 1971 to 1980 there was a steady
improvement in the reading comprehension of nine-year-olds. However, during the 1980s…the scores did not improve and rather
declined” (n.p.).

The 1990s brought the topic full circle. It was then that Marilyn Adams, a cognitive psychologist, wrote a book describing the best
methods to teach learning. “Programs that combined systematic phonics instruction with meaning emphasis seemed to work best of
all” (Collins, 1997, n.p.). The key to reading is that words need to be recognized so the brain can interpret the meaning behind it
(Collins, 1997, n.p.). Thus, putting the two methods together was necessary for correct comprehension of the concepts presented.

What else do I need to know?

We’ve discussed the accepted definition of pedagogy, varying schools of thought for assessment, and the difference between
reading philosophies. Your salad components are increasing by number exponentially. But what toppings to you add to your thought
salad? What else do you need to consider when you are setting up your classroom, your teaching styles, and your lessons?

Teaching is the hardest job you can have. You are in a position to touch hundreds of lives over the course of a career, and yet, how
do you succeed? The fact remains that “when a teacher and his/her students face each other in the classroom they must truly work
with each other” (Cadenas, 1999, n.p.). How else can you ensure that the students are learning what you are teaching?[You] may
spend as much as 60 hours a week creating lesson plans, teaching, advising students, grading, supervising extracurricular activities
and meeting with colleagues and parents” Valerie Marchant – Time

The first thing to keep in mind is your own knowledge basis. Cadenas (1999) recommends that you “renew and refresh your
knowledge of the subject matter” (n.p.) to stay on top of changes and help you incorporate them in to your lessons. Our world
changes so rapidly that to stay on top of technology, your field of expertise, or even other areas that can be integrated into your
subject matter, it is necessary to take a class or attend a seminar every once in a while (Cadenas, 1999, n.p.).

Next, “prepare interesting, colorful, captivating lesson plans and deliver then with gusto” (Cadenas, 1999, n.p.). An entertaining
teacher will help cement information into a student’s memory with much more ease than one who is monotone or inactive
(Cadenas, 1999, n.p.). The more entertaining you are, the deeper a connection you will make with your students, as well.

In addition to the captivating lesson, make sure “it [is] a number one priority to ensure that your student can follow the lesson”
(Cadenas, 1999, n.p.). This will assist all your students in grasping the information you are placing before them in class, and will help
you reach students of all learning styles (Cadenas, 1999, n.p.). You don’t want to end up teaching only to the auditory learners and
leaving the visual learners to fend for themselves!

Last, “help your students to put their learning to use immediately” (Cadenas, 1999, n.p.). Show them how the lessons you are
teaching are applicable to them so they feel like school is worth an investment of time and energy (Cadenas, 1999, n.p.). If nothing
else, have them help each other out in class to reinforce the lesson!

ConclusionYou are ready to graze at a Fourth of July picnic. You walk over to the table, and you see an array of salads ready for you
to dive in to them. How do you pick which ones you want to sample now or save for later? How do you narrow the choices down?

Educational philosophies are as abundant as salads at any holiday spread. And even though the difference between one potato salad
and the one next to it is an addition of mustard, the two are by no means exactly alike. Your classes will be just as diverse. You will
have students from all economic classes, with differing levels of English language ability, and all bringing various and beautiful
experiences to your class. How do you reach each individual?
Knowing who you are as a teacher before you enter the classroom will help significantly. Teaching is so much more than just the
content. Teaching is a learning curve on philosophy that will never be finished. Just as your classroom will change every year,
continue to alter your philosophies. See what works for you and your students on a collaborative level.I
