My Educational Philosophy

Hello intelligent people, hope you like my philosophy.


Educational Philosophy


My educational philosophy is based on the pragmatic theory by John Dewey. I chose this great philosopher because I believe in his strategies and methodology. I am a practical person and I want to teach for a practical purpose. I want to apply useful and suitable activities in the ESL classroom, where the student is going to learn by doing. The student acquire knowledge that will prevail if the information useful to them in everyday activities.
The school is responsible of providing the materials and environment to enhance the student’s educational experience. The teacher’s role is to stimulate the student’s mind with activities that create the need to learn. The teacher, maintaining group control, is a facilitator and a guide in the classroom. The teacher responsibility is to challenge the student intellectually with different activities that will help with the acquisition of a second language.
I use this philosophy to guide my educational classes in my classroom. I believe that the student’s learn by using the standard skills, but in activities that present daily and common situations. My vision is to bring the outside problems and situation to the school. The school should not be excluded from the society; it is part of the society. The students need to actively participate in the academic development. I strongly believe this is why many students lack the motivation to learn English.
