PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
Schools teach skills and subjects, but also
help to form a person’s identity and help them develop skills to actively and
successfully participate in society.
I believe that educations purpose is to
provide and develop economic & social skills for students as well as
content knowledge of subjects, in order to prepare them for adult life and the
workforce.
As said by The CEO of The Curriculum
Corporation, Bruce Wilson, “the task for the future is to deliver a high
quality education to every child without exception.”
I consider that it is a hard task to
provide an equal high quality of education to all students, as there is still a
large gap between the public and the private school systems. I believe that
factors such as a person’s class will also have an impact on students’
opportunities with education and that there will always be political forces
that affect the way our education system operates.
I think that ICT is the way of the future
and that this should and will be embraced by schools and teachers, so as to
ensure that our future generations are up to date with technology, living in a
digital world. This is an ongoing process and in years to come all students
will have access to computers and high speed Internet, which will be used as a
main source of learning and information. I believe that this form of education
is motivating and engaging for students as it relates to the world that they
live in now and can be used in all aspects of their lives. With the use of this
technology I value that it is important for teachers to stay up to date with
current trends in technology and believe that there will be more professional
development provided towards teachers aimed at expanding and increasing their
ICT skills to ensure teachers are helping guide students to reach their full
potential.
