Students always look up to their teacher and therefore, it becomes necessary for you to have thoughts to inspire them.

Here are specific reasons why you should study philosophy of education if you are a teacher.

The philosophy of education is important because it provides a basis for understanding the nature and purpose of education. It allows us to consider the questions that are at the heart of education, such as: What is the purpose of education? How should students be taught? What knowledge and skills should students be taught? How should students be assessed?

It also allows us to examine the impact of different educational theories and practices on students’ learning. It helps us to consider the ethical and moral implications of educating students, and to think about the role of technology in education. By understanding the philosophy of education, teachers can gain valuable insight into their profession and their students’ learning.

Helps to Decipher The Path of Learning

Teaching philosophy has been defined as the map, which provides directions to move ahead.

One may feel lost without a map. In the same way, you are going to be missed while teaching if a specific path is not decided.
Hence, a map is always needed to make informed movements.

It is not possible to make students learn something until the teacher knows why and how he/she wants to teach.

Once you know your path, you will be helping your students to plan to reach their destinations.

Affects the Society

Teachers are termed as the future makers of the community. People like you are the ones who help students choose different professions and identities.

A teacher can leave a profound impact on students and help them make independent decisions in the near future.

The core values that your students learn from you today are going to be applied and used in society as they grow up.

A solid philosophical background will help ensure that these values are all positive.

If you believe in breaking stereotypes, there are high chances your students will follow the same philosophical path. If your philosophy is accepting the already existing theories, rather than questioning them, your students might follow your path.

Understanding the philosophy of education will teach them the need to know the whys.

Along with the intellectual development of the students, it will also improve the standards of our society and make us more rational.

To Be in Their Shoes

By learning philosophy, a teacher would be able to view and analyze from the perspective of their students.

Apart from understanding why students are behaving in a particular way, teachers would also be able to know how students perceive their actions.

This helps them adapt better teaching strategies and guidance, eventually resulting in improved results.

Best of all, a teacher would be able to analyze his/her actions and understand the positives and negatives of their methods.

Just as if it helps students, it helps them as well. In other words, the educational curriculum consisting of philosophy contributes to discovering the mind of the learner (student), thus aid him/her in offering experiences and opportunities for cultivating his/her potential abilities.

To Avoid Being Judgemental

Philosophy of education also teaches a teacher the concept of not prejudicing the personality of each student. Remember that you need to consider all students equal.

But this should not affect the unique potential and capabilities of each student.

As educators, you are required to teach creativity, autonomy, and curiosity to all students without compromising their intellectual levels.

The idea is to avoid giving up on a pupil, who is a low-level learner. Philosophy teaches you that ideology, where you train with an unbiased attitude.

To Teach The Concept of Unification

Philosophy also teaches about unifying each pupil and the teacher as one body to ensure harmony.

The idea is to work together to create a better citizen, who diligently serves his community and keeps check on his/her morality.

Through the philosophy of education, teachers can understand how to deal with the students and unite them as one.

Even the students will then be able to confidently speak to the teacher as if he/she is their friend.

Tips for integrating philosophy in the classroom

The philosophy of education has a profound impact on student learning. By understanding the history and theories of education, teachers can gain a deeper understanding of their role and the impact they have on their students. This understanding can then be used to develop lesson plans that best support their students’ needs and help them to reach their full potential.

Furthermore, by understanding the different theories and philosophies of education, teachers can better identify any gaps in their students’ knowledge and adjust their curriculum accordingly. By unlocking the power of philosophy, teachers can gain invaluable insight into their profession and their students’ learning.

So does edutainment, which is expected to have a market value of approximately $8.1 Billion by 2032, at a compound annual growth rate of 16%.

Why Edutainment?

Edutainment focuses on both educational and personal development of learners by ensuring that the learning process includes aspects, such as collaboration, communication, creativity, etc.

The average attention span of students last from few minutes to few hours based on age. You might have seen or experienced how the attention of students tends to shift during lectures and many end up finding classes to be “too boring.” That is where edutainment lives up to its name. Edutainment imparts learning without even the students being aware of it since their focus will be more on the fun factor.

Every student is different. The traditional method of learning, most of the time, fails to cater to the requirements of people with learning difficulties. There are many instances where they might not get the extra attention they badly need. Edutainment, on the other hand, encourages personalised learning that allows them to learn at their own pace, while giving them a better understanding of the areas they need improvement in.

Apart from all these advantages, edutainment has much more to offer, making it an economical and intelligent choice, as a method of learning.

What Are Hiring Managers Looking for When Interviewing Teachers?

Since teachers are the cornerstone of a school, the great concern lies in selecting a teacher for the school. So when hiring teachers, there are a couple of things that hiring managers will look upon.

  • Teaching Skills- It is crucial to know how a teacher teaches, the methods he/she uses in a classroom. Effective teaching should happen when each individual engages and learns from the teaching-learning process. The way a teacher teaches should make every student get actively involved.
  • Data proficiency– Data is incredibly important in the modern education system. Hiring recruiters want teachers to let them know how they used specific data to improve or learn things- whether they focused on each test score or overall class performance statistics.
  • Subject matter expertise– A teacher needs to be knowledgeable. He/she should have in-depth content knowledge. Chances are high to choose a subject expert by recruiters. So be prepared well enough to showcase your subject knowledge.
  • Teamwork– A successful school is a result of good teamwork by teachers, management, staff, students and parents. So a good teacher not only helps a student to succeed but also a school.
  • Patience – Regardless of the age group a teacher is engaged, he/she should have patience. Teachers may face bad experiences from students; still, teachers should be able to redirect them to the right path. Some students may need extra attention and care.
  • Enthusiasm for Job-Teaching is a challenging job and requires a lot of effort. Good teachers have genuine enthusiasm towards the job; they are sure about what they are doing and why they are doing.
  • Flexibility – Education trends change every time. A good teacher must be flexible with these changes. You should not continue teaching in a specific way every year; you should be able to adapt the changes without any frustration.
  • The ability to take feedback- Be positive to the criticism and feedback. Try to improve yourself from the criticism. Take things to improve and ignore the rest.

It can be a good platform to share classroom news with parents, remind students about upcoming deadlines or post home works without hassles.

However, it is important to make sure that a certain boundary is set and students are not just using the entertainment side.

14. How would you respond if a student acts disrespectfully to you?

So use this as an example of how you will change your teaching style and the new strategies you will include for making virtual learning successful.

You may also discuss the various teaching approaches you use like co-learning, debates, role-plays, and elocutions to promote inclusive learning.

50. Do you have any questions?

Some candidates would prefer to leave the hot seat as early as possible by saying no questions to ask.
