Philosophy and life are intimately connected. It is the philosophy of people that decides the goal of their life. Again, individuals with similar philosophies have a tendency to spread their ideals. This process is called education. Thus education can be considered as the dynamic side of philosophy. Educational philosophy is philosophy applied to education. Since education and philosophy are the two sides of a coin, every teacher must have his own philosophy. Only then a teacher can attain his desired goal.

All great teachers were great philosophers. A teacher must be a friend, philosopher and a guide to his students. As a teacher I will be a friend to my students. I will try my best to know the problems of the students and will provide them with necessary helps as far as I am able to do it.

Even though the teacher has his own ideas and is not able to communicate his ideas effectively his ideas will be futile. So I will try myself to be a good communicator. I will take efforts to understand the learning disabilities of the student and will apply necessary steps to mend it. It will help in the development of the students. A teacher should be able to think from the level of the students. Only then he can teach effectively. I will be impartial to y students.

A teacher should be a seer and prophet. He should be able to visualize the future of his students. Only then he should be able to guide them in the right way. So I will try to visualize the future of my students based on their abilities and innate potentialities. I will motivate them to achieve their goals in life.

A teacher should be a role model to his students. All great teachers like Jesus Christ. And Buddha was role models. They taught us through their life. For example, Mahatma Gandhi taught us through his life-“my life is my message”. As such a teacher should teach through his life. I will try my best to be a role model to my students. Thus I believe that I can mould a better society.

Education means the development of desirable habits, skills and attitudes which makes an individual a good citizen. In the words of Swami Vivekananda “education is not the amount of information that is put into brain and riot there, undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man making, character making, assimilation of ideas. If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library”.

Teaching is a very respectful profession in the world. The character of a child is formed through education. Education also develops the personality of a child. When I was a very young girl, my teachers influenced my character. My teachers and parents motivated me to join the teaching field.

The growth of children in our society is very much important. As Tagore said “every child comes to the world with a message”. The students will become the teachers, parents, politician, ministers, MLAs, MPs etc. of tomorrow. So their education becomes very important and they must be developed in this sense. Hence a teacher should teach them in foreseeing these matters.

I want to teach my students more than the subject matter given in a text book. I will try to develop good character, personality, courage and confidence in my students. I will support them in constructing knowledge and motivate them to activate their prior knowledge.

I would like to become a guide, friend and philosopher of students. I feel that the students are constantly supporting their teachers. In the modern world parents do not care their children all time. So the teacher must act as mother, guardian etc. of students. Therefore the teacher should impart quality education to their students and bring them up morally rich and socially committed.

During my profession, I will provide special care for slow learners and establish friendly relation with them. I will try to create good atmosphere in the classroom and develop desirable interest in ideas and task related to commercial activities. As a commerce teacher I will teach the students of adolescence age. So it will really be a challenging job through out my life.

My philosophy is that the teacher has to be an excellent example for his students. He must have to be a model for his student in thought, word and deed. The teacher enables the students to make harmonious and effective adjustment in life. A teacher is to his students what a gardener is to the plants in the garden. He has to take care of the students with the care and attention of a guardian. The teacher is a guide, helper and a wise friend to whom the students can go confidently in case of any difficulty. The teacher must observe the students carefully and guide them properly to develop their inborn qualities so that they can reach the ultimate goal of life. He is a guide, a friend and a philosopher to the children.

In my view, education is the gradual process of acquiring knowledge. It is a preparation for life.It thus focuses on the cultivation of skills, trades or professions, as well as mental, moral &aesthetic development. It is to develop the knowledge, skill, or ability of students. The only purpose of education is to teach a student how to live his life-by developing his mind and equipping him to deal with reality. Education is the up bringing of good characters and it changes the total attitude of students towards life.
A teacher brings a pupil from darkness to light.From my childhood onwards, my ambition was to become a teacher.I will be a patient,impartial,inspiring teacher.I will

motivate my students by encouragement,activities and by giving the essence of my subject.To me,energy is one of the important factors for a teacher.Not only that, teacher must pass her energy to her students.I have a teacher at high school, her name is Elsamma.She was an embodiment of energy power.She is my ideal teacher.When I will become a teacher I wish to be like her.A teacher with energy,intelligence,motivating power,creativity and above all wide knowledge about her subject.
According to Eric Hoffer, “The central task of education is to implant a
will and facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people. The truly human society is a learning society, where grandparents, parents, and children are students together”. Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.Children are always the only future the human race has.

Education makes a person perfect.Education plays a crucial role in developing the personality of an individual.The student - teacher relationship must be more powerful.Education must not be spoon fed.It should be a give and take process..I.T.education has to be improved more. This makes students to become self motivated. Only those students who are self motivated can follow progressive techniques. Education should not be job oriented.Education should not be compressed with in the class room.This can be extended into the surroundings Since it is a competative world,survival of the best could come in practice.In general, education is the key to success in life. The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think.It is to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for

ourselves.Education should be more student and activity oriented. A teacher should be only a guide to children but not a person whom students can believe blindly. We can hope for an independent,self motivated,committed society It is the basic goal of each individual.Through proper education,hope it will become a reality without much delay.

Sujitha's Philosophy of Teaching

My Philosophy of Teaching

Sujitha P.S. (Mathematics)


Teaching ranks amongst the nation’s top five prestigious professions where one is involved in shaping the future of the country. Love for teaching evokes the passion and dedication. I firmly believe that the best way to learn is to teach and one continues to learn all through one’s life.
My personal experiences contribute to my philosophy today in that the most meaningful learning takes place when students are motivated and interested. Students should be given opportunities to relate their learning and critical thinking skills to social challenges and problems outside the classroom walls. Courses are supposed to be designed to accommodate the intellectual needs of the students. The teacher is there to facilitate this process.
The teacher needs to be very patient; to be tough at times; to present a diversity of materials, techniques, and input; and above all, to have a sense of humor. Boredom is the cruel enemy of learning. A boring teacher cannot awaken or motivate a class and bored students cannot interest or inspire.
My teaching philosophy is based on a fundamentally optimistic view; I believe that all the students, with the help of the right tools, will be able to overcome any difficulties in their learning process.

Hello,Here is Divya's Philosophy of Teaching

Education is important for the all round development of the individual. The teacher has to help the students in persuing their studies according to their interest and ability.In my childhooddays I tasted my mother's teaching skills.Great educators of the past have not undergone any training but have contributed positive educational principles for the benefit of upcoming generation.
Everybody needs some knowledge of mathematics in one way or the other.Mathematics demands hardwok from the learner.Hardworking citizens are very much needed in any developing society.It also gives the power of solving reallife problems.
I observe that in todays world of education, many student have difficulty in identifying the important conncepts in text.I beieve that it can be solved by motivaton. If the teacher himself/herself is not interested she/he can never motivate the class.
