I always believed my
ideas about teaching and learning were simple – everyone needs to keep learning – and everyone needs to
teach something – to share or pass down what they have already learned. But….. I have come to realize there is much
more to it than that – and there are many different views regarding the subject. It was a challenge to define my philosophies, but I think I’m
on the way.
After some research
and a survey I found out that I am very strongly a Progressivist when it comes to Education. The
progressivist philosophy holds that the meaning and value of ideas can be found only in
their practical results. We are generally opposed to authoritarianism and favor human
experience as a basis for knowledge.
