Personal Philosophy of Education
This topic brings you full circle. You have an understanding of historical events that occurred in early childhood education, as well as theories and philosophies that influenced educational models. You researched current trends and issues in order to develop an advocacy speech, as well as a professional growth plan. This information will assist you in creating your own personal education philosophy.
An educational philosophy is often part of a teaching application, which lets your future employers see your classroom management style without seeing you teach. Although your philosophy will be adjusted throughout your program as you learn more about young children, how children learn, and developmentally appropriate practice, your educational philosophy will serve as a foundation.
In 500-750 words, describe your current philosophy of education. Include the following concepts:
Your belief about how learning occurs grounded in preferred theories and perspectives.
An explanation of how your teaching style will facilitate students’ learning and develop the whole child. Include your philosophy on the integration of technology with instruction in the early childhood environment.
Your beliefs about guiding children’s behavior and creating a welcoming learning environment.
Steps you will take to collaborate with families and the community in the growth and development of young children.
Ways in which you will create an inclusive learning environment.

I feel it is an essential component of my learning philosophy because it greatly aids learning processes because develops programs that are entirely focused on mental processes and the brain. Since teaching is challenging, adopting cognitivism can help teach new information easily and conveniently. It allows students to use their previous knowledge and experience to connect with new concepts and learn better.
I prefer including this theory in my teaching style as it benefits young students. The first thing is that it focuses on practical, real-life experiences. Students learn by actually working on tasks instead of merely reading about something. Their comprehension improves over time, paired with the ideal approach in the practical field, which helps the students have a deeper understanding of new concepts. Additionally, students become masters of problem-solving. They learn why an event occurs and how to handle it; they understand how to learn about multiple things, which is why finding solutions soon becomes a piece of cake for them. Since my cogniti...
