Recommended: Philosophy of Education

Education is an innovative method that promotes people’s knowledge on real world application. It displays a person’s notional belief in a logical instruction that is being given. Without education, the world would lack knowledge on obtaining or fulfilling their purpose in life. As a Christian educator, I believe that every person on this earth holds value to the world. There embedded value, allows the world to move in the direction in which God plans it to do. I believe that God’s has placed us individually to fulfil individual things that make the world move on. Our implanted education, allows each one of us to emerge and support a visionary statement for what we believe in, in accordance to God’s will grace and mercy. While enacting on an …show more content…

I believe that everyone, regardless of their current conditions or background knowledge, is capable of learning any and everything they apply themselves. This belief is based on the fact that as disciples of God, we are prompt to learn new things everyday of our life. The many things that we discover in life, we learn from them. For instance, there are a number of people, including myself goes through many adversities in life. Some may look at these adversities as traumatizing events that are made to break us, but in reality, they are made to build us. As a Christian, I live the quote that states “whatever do not kill you makes you stronger”. By meditating on this quote allows me as a Christian leader to recite that God is preparing me for my next placement in …show more content…

There are a number of things in which I value in life. What I value the most is fulfilling my purpose in life. What is ultimately real to me, may not seem as real to others. Reason being is that we all value different possessions in life. If I am able to enact on my personal values, by determining and fulfilling my purpose in life, I will be able to connect what I think may be hardships to having a purpose or meaning to my life. As well as I am able to values my purpose in life, I would want my students to value theirs as well.
If my students are able to value their purpose in life, it can allow them to take every minute of their life serious, rather than taking advantage of what they think may not be important. Throughout my educational tenure, I have come across several students who holds no value to their life. The bible states that “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well” (Psalm 139:14). Every person, including students, should hold some form of value to their life. If they do not carry such value, they will become lost form the world. If and when students become detached from the world, there should be a number of ethical principles that are made to guide them towards their

  • Summary Of The Idea Of A Christian College

    1023 Words  | 3 Pages

    The values in which an education gives should go beyond the value of money earned. In this book, The Idea of a Christian College, it has helped introduce students and teachers to the conversation about faith and learning in Christian colleges. As well as the new changes and challenges that schools are faced with. The bible states, “While our presentable parts need no special treatment, but god has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. It also continues by saying, “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it. If one part is honored every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ and each one of you is a part of it.” (Corinthian 12:24-2) Personally, the life we live or education we receive should be for what it is intended for. I feel it has allowed me to know the connection between faith and education, this freedom has allowed me to have a personal connection to the education that I am receiving. By looking at these four concepts and how it affects the values on education and liberal learning. “The question to ask about education is not what I can do with it, but rather what is it doing to me as a person”, (Arthur F

  • The Goal Of Education Rhetorical Analysis

    565 Words  | 2 Pages

    I believe that the purpose of education is to produce the next generation of leaders who are intelligent and have great character. This idea is supported in the article “The Purpose of Education” by Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights activist who fought for black and white people to have equal rights in America. He writes about the true purpose, and meaning of education in the article by saying, “Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction (MLK1).” This quote from the article explains that being academically educated is very important. It will help people stand up, be a leader, and take charge to make the world a better place for everyone. That gallant leader will argue against the fallacy, lies,

    The education of children has existed since the beginning of time as parents have taught and molded their children into the young adults they desired them to be. Initial training of children was not in a formal setting, although history would see numerous settings, purposes, and methodological changes. Philosophies of education have also changed through the years as various voices have seemed to grasp the purpose of educating the next generation, thus laying out objectives to reach those goals of teaching children.

  • I Have Chosen to Become a Teacher

    Each year, as a new group of students enter my classroom, I will encourage them to be expressive of their imaginations in their favorite subjects, whether it be art, literature, math or music. We all have rules and regulations to follow, and each student will know that there is no exception in the school or the classroom. Another goal in my classroom will be to keep the students excited about learning, not to treat school as a game or a social event, but to encourage a unique and fun atmosphere to learn. My educational ethics toward each student will be to emphasise that everyone is an individual, they are all special and unique in their own way, and that every student does not learn on the same level. I hope my students will treat each other the way they want to be treated, and respect those that may be less fortunate.

  • Liberation through Education

    610 Words  | 2 Pages

    In our society today, education has become more of a privilege than a right. Not all people are fortunate enough to have been blessed with good education. Thus, those people have the responsibility to impart that knowledge to his neighbors, especially to the less fortunate one. What empowers us to educate others? It all goes back to love. God's love enables us to love our neighbors. Educating others is brought about by our love for our neighbor. Passing on education is similar to passing on something that is part of you. It takes more than knowledge in order to educate others. Educating others requires patience and compassion, two things that are rooted from love. Thus, I strongly believe that without love, from God and from neighbors, education would not be possible.

  • My Personal Values Essay

    Understanding who we are as individuals can be a struggle for people throughout life. It can be difficult to comprehend who we are and why we exist. There are daily outside influences that help create who we are and what our values are. Values play a significant role in our lives. They shape the choices we make and reveal a big part of our identity to the world. Some values may be more important than others, but they still manage to influence our lives in one way or another, whether we know it or not. Values can range from a tangible item to an idea that has influenced us to stand by and remember those values. The values we hold with the highest importance act as a guide and help us prioritize our purpose and goals in our daily life. My family has taught me a list of values and traits that have helped me become a well-rounded individual.

  • The Purpose and Ideology of Education

    There is no one single definition for what education really is. Experts and scholars from the beginning have viewed and commented about education in different ways. The definition mostly agreed upon was that education is an acquisition or passing of skills, behavior or knowledge from an institution to another. This institution can either be a person, a school, a family or even the society. If we go in the ancient meaning and the ideology of education, it means to lead out of ignorance. In other words, education or knowledge in this sense was light and education brought the person out of the dark. The purpose and ideology of education is therefore to bring out the potential of a person and pass on knowledge

    I believe that teaching is the most important job known to humanity. In fact, I do not believe it is a job, but rather, a debt payment to society. Education is important because it not only opens doors to a better life, but it also insures one a happier life. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It makes us capable of interpreting rightly the things perceived. Without education, we as a whole, would be further behind in the world and would not have as much technology as we do now. Education also equips us with all that is needed to make our dreams come true. It is because of education that we have the comfortable living style that we have today. For those who are troubled, education acts as an outlet to success. It is education that builds in every individual a confidence to make decisions, to face life, and to accept successes and failures. It instills a sense of pride about the knowledge one has and prepares him/her for life.
