عنوان المقالة : Professional Philosophy Statement

 

The main purpose of education since ancient times has been to impart knowledge of the various aspects of life. It has been vital in developing and producing the intellect relevant in a learning society. There is a close connection between education and the opportunity it accords to students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This is because a child’s life is strongly influenced by the quality of education they receive.

Education provides individuals with skills, competences and knowledge required towards the development of the economy and contributes to a person’s overall life.  Failure to obtain quality education jeopardizes ones’ future and the progress of the society.

Education is paramount because it helps to break the vicious cycle of poverty present in developing countries of the world. Education provides both tangible and moral dimensions that the society lives by.  Through education knowledge is channeled into the larger society. Knowledge equips people with skills that allow them to pursue their dreams, achieve their goals and secure employment.

The importance of education in development of a society cannot be underestimated. Education is the mechanism through which desired social norms and values are inculcated as well as help in liberating the society from misconceptions they have created.

The training of the human mind cannot be accomplished without education. It is through learning that a person receives information about the struggles and the challenges of life. The satisfaction gotten from acquiring new information through learning cannot be compared to any leisure activity.

Behaviorism is a theory used in psychology to learn about behaviors that can be observed and measured. In behaviorism reinforcement plays a key role in determining repetitive behavior. Positive reinforcements are used to encourage positive behavior and negative reinforcement is in response to undesired behavior. Positive reinforcement is an effective way in which teachers can facilitate the learning of students.

Respect

Respect for others shows that you value their opinions and who they are. It is a basic moral value that enlightens people of the existence of others.

Caring

Caring is value that comes from within, before one extends care to others they must first display kindness to themselves.

Helpful            

People with this value are willing to render assistance to those who need it. Helpful people gain a lot of satisfaction by helping others.

Empathy

Human beings live in a world full of sufferings, it is therefore important to have people to demonstrate understanding to the feelings of those going through struggles.

Patient

Wikipedia refers to patient as a value that encourages perseverance in the midst of struggles. It is an important value that is desired in teachers as they deal with students with different learning abilities.

Cooperate

The Merriam website defines cooperation as act of working together as team for a common good.  Cooperation eliminates competition and fosters learning through interaction.

 

Loving

This the most important human value because it guards other values like respect, empathy, care and help.

            In the field of teaching, curriculum and students form the foundation for effective learning. Teachers use information from their classroom to develop a relevant curriculum based on the needs of the students. A curriculum that meets the needs of the students acts as strong motivation for learning. Teachers should also pay close attention to the methods they use in classrooms to manage students behavior.
