Answer this:
Which educational philosophy in most compatible with your beliefs? Why?
In my opinion, educational philosophy that most compatible with my beliefs is

constructivism because in that learner has to make meaning from experiences in
the world. Through experiences we could have more realizations in life. We
experience and at the same time we are learning. In constructivism teachers help
the students to reach the objective and to explore and construct knowledge
based on what they’re reading. Constructivism is based on the idea that students
actively construct or make their own knowledge, and that reality is determined by
our experiences as a learner. In this teachers are more understandable to their
students. They are teaching with match the learner level of understanding and
through this it really helps the students to learn easily. By sharing an experience it
will lead the students in reality and make the students more imaginative in life.
Teachers also allowing the students work in a group for them to learn together
and share their own experiences. Real experiences are such a big help for the
students to learn easily and to be more imaginative.
