1. What is the importance of studying Psycho-Philosophical Foundation of

Education to future educational planners/leaders?

2. How do culture, traditions and practices affect the Influence of Psychology on

New Normal Education of one school?

3. What are your thoughts as teachers on “POSITIVE THOUGHTS GENERATE,

POSITIVE FEELINGS AND ATTRACT POSITIVE LIFE EXPERIENCES.”

Answer:

1. The philosophical foundation of curriculum helps determine the

driving purpose of education, as well as the roles of the various

participants. While all foundations propose to set goals of curriculum,

philosophy presents the manner of thinking from which those goals are

created. One’s driving philosophy suggests if education should develop

the individual or enforce group norms, if it is to enforce group norms, it

further defines if that should be the norms of the current set or a move

towards changing those norms. Philosophies vary in perception of truth,

 ranging from absolute to relative, and from moralistic to scientific. In all of

this, one’s philosophy defines the role of the teacher or leader, ranging

from all-knowing authoritarian to that of a mentor.

2. Culture includes what people actually do and what they

believe. Culture influences greatly how we see the world, how we try to

understand it and how we communicate with each other.

Therefore, culture determines, to a great extent, learning and teaching

styles. Therefore if you develop proper culture in classroom by Expressing

interest in the background of your students, Redirect your role in

the classroom from instructor to facilitator, maintain a strict level

of sensitivity to language concerns, maintain high expectations for student

performance and help them with this new normal by giving a balance

consideration by setting rule that is suitable to the psychological, emotional

and budget capacity of the child.

3. We are shaping and constructing our quality life with the help of our

quality of thought. We are bombarded with countless number of thought in

our thought manufacturing bank zone and mostly are unwanted negative

thought. As valid truth says we can hold life prospering positive thought in

our miracle creating mind through powerful self positive affirmation

regarding your dream goals which can impress and convince your

subconscious mind as subconscious can drives you with full passion,

enthusiasm with winning attitude to accomplish any battle of life

encountering countless number of obstacles encountered in the highway of

life and success. Actually subconscious mind never rectify either positive or
 negative thought so you yourself is script writer, director and controller of

your thought bank. The universe also responds to the thought played vividly

in your mental video as universe never rectify whether you hold negative

thought or positive thought and there is no any favorism for any specific

people whoever be universe never cares. Many people are victimized by

the negative thoughts and it’s very toughest task to perform our day to day

life activities whether at work place, friend circle or place where we live and

encountering with negative attitude people. The universe law is

uncontrollable and we have to obey and apply all scripted rigid law of

universe for living our life with defined purpose. The concrete life

prospering truth says everything around and within us are energy and has

energy, if you hold positive life prospering thought regarding anything then

you just form positive magnetic field around your zone which radiates

positive energy and as per the law of universe you can attract the same

positive circumstances, people and positive quality life as you yourself is a

living magnet.
