Philosophy of Education Project – (Mini Research project)

A.) Introduction:
                Providing quality learning to learners is the primary goal in education. Multifarious studies, methodologies & strategies have been conducted just merely to come up to the most effective & efficient approach in teaching. Different educational philosophies have been thoroughly scrutinized & compared namely perennialism, essentialism, progressivism & reconstructionism/ critical theory of which among them is best suited for the type of learners nowadays.

B.) Rationale:
                The survey being conducted to 11 co-teachers aims to provide data or information of which among the educational philosophies is commonly used by teachers. This is also to determine the most common methodologies & strategies used by the teachers nowadays. Through this, we may be able to probe another determining factors how to improve, & refine our approach in teaching.

C.) Interpretation/ Implication:
                Based on the results conducted to 11 co-teachers both in public & in private schools, it has been found out that the common educational philosophy used by teacher at present is Progressvism. They commonly use the “STUDENT CENTERED” APPROACH wherein the students are given the chance or opportunity to explore & discover the learning, self-experimentation & reflection on their experience are given much importance. Field of interests of the students is also given much attention. Developing one’s personality & social values is being integrated in preparation of becoming better & more productive citizens in the future. Thus, it does not only focus mainly on the educational learning process of the students but also transforming them to become better & more productive constituents in the community.

D.) Conclusion:
                In my own capricious stand of the commonly used educational philosophy of the teachers in the survey, it is therefore the most effective & efficient philosophy in education to be used at present because it is a total transformation of the learners’ intellectual, emotional, social, physical, moral & spiritual aspects in life.
