Philosophy of Education

What is your Philosophy of Education? Explain very well.

Ans.  My Philosophy of Education is the Progressivism which a student-centered
philosophy that emphasizes on experiences, opportunities, and values that enhance a
student 's learning and life. Progressive learning is a pedagogical movement that
emphasizes teaching children how to think rather than relying on rote memorization.
Traditional education teaches children to learn facts at the expense of understanding
what is being taught. The role of the teacher is to act primarily as a facilitator of learning,
they encourage and guide students to explore and promote individual development.
Progressivists believe that individuality, progress, and change are fundamental to one's
education. Believing that people learn best from what they consider most relevant to
their lives, progressivists center their curricula on the needs, experiences, interests, and
abilities of students. One of its main objectives was to educate the whole child that is to
attend to physical and emotional, as well as intellectual, growth. The school was
conceived of as a laboratory in which the child was to take an active part learning by
through doing.
