Objectives

Outlining the various aspects of my personal

philosophy of Education and describing in detail

how they influence the pedagogy I use as a

teacher in the Islamic, Maldivian society.

Literature on Educational philosophy

Bandura (1986) states that, people learn through observing

others’ behaviour, attitudes, and outcomes of those

behaviours

Avicenna (Ibn Sina) (c.980—1037) states that children can

learn better if taught in classes instead of

individual tuition from private tutors.

Jean Piaget (1971) argues that humans generate knowledge and meaning from an interaction between their experiences and their ideas

Lev Vygotsky (1896–1934) stresses that child development

is the result of interactions between children and their

social environment.

Components of a Good Educational Philosophy

Islam

Living Healthy

Respect and

Follow Law

Preparedness

for life

Relating to Real

life experience

I believe that the ultimate end or goal of schooling is to have given the students the tools and motivation for them to lead successful and fulfilling lives.

I believe it is important to use strategies to develop creative, critical and problem solving thinking skills of students by relating to real life experience and in an inclusive student centred environment.

My Pedagogical Strategies and Principles

Student centred teaching

Students are responsible for their learning

Respect each other ideas.

Identify and cater students needs.

Teacher act as a facilitator

Jones (2007) defined the student-centered classroom as a place where needs of students are considered and students are encouraged to participate in the learning process at all times.

The ultimate goal for student-centered classrooms is for students to gain independent minds and the capacity to make decisions about their life-long learning (Brown, 2008).

Goodlad (1984, 1994), among others, concluded that teaching must be collaborative, interactive, and relationship-based.
