MY PHILOSOPHY

Eclecticism is nothing but fusion of knowledge from all sources. It is a peculiar type of educational
philosophy which combines all good ideas and principles from various philosophies. Eclecticism is a
conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead
draws upon multiple theories, styles, or ideas to gain complementary insights into a subject, or applies
different theories in particular cases. It can sometimes seem inelegant or lacking in simplicity, and
eclectics are sometimes criticized for lack of consistency in their thinking. It is, however, common in
many fields of study. As an aspiring educator with an eclectic philosophy, I must incorporate the concept
of a flexible and dynamic all-around outlook in acquiring knowledge. It is expected that the nature of the
learners revolves around their curiosity, to have an answer with their what, hows and whys. The reason
behind why I chose teaching as my profession is that it's something that at first I know I'm into like with
my childhood future job selection. I really admire educators but as soon as I grow older, my teacher's
aura slowly fades. As I reached different levels in learning, I've encountered a lot of personalities in
education and few of those individuals drove me to come back with my first love which is teaching even
though I don't really picture myself as one but here I am pursuing this field, as an aspiring teacher. Being
a teacher is definitely not an easy job, one needs to be passionate 'cause everyday is learning and
acquiring. Day-by-day I could view myself being happy with teaching and as I undergo the process of
becoming an efficient and effective teacher, I want to proudly say that 'This is my calling'. The teaching in
an eclectic approach will most likely have the varieties of learning into different fields. Basically, as a
future teacher, I would teach the course of my chosen discipline, my expertise which I practice over the
years of studying. Now, I'll start with the basics, then continue to branch up to the broader view of the
subject. Also, I'll take time in manifesting real-life examples that clearly visualizes and depicts the
concepts and lessons. I intend to put my objectives with every student interaction I would have, enabling
the power of participation and communication. Through practicing different teaching methods and
applying effective interactive activities. Above all this eclectic approach gives a chance to our common
sense to mould and shape our method according to the circumstances and available materials of
teaching aids. Innovate materials through a general knowledge and observation to the students' nature
of learning. It is the nature of man that he likes change. He wants new and novel ways in every field of
work. The same is the case with the learning process. Learners always like something new and exciting.
This approach is broad and may include every kind of learning activity and saves learners from
monotony. It is helpful in all kinds of skills in stimulating a creative environment and gives confidence to
the learners. One can develop communication skills by practicing and participating in language activities.
So if the teacher follows an eclectic approach, the class will be interesting, avoid monotony and it will
improve student's communication skills and objectives of language will be reached. With the practices
attained through training and educational programs, as well as experiences were also part of the process
of learning.
