Type of Philosophies

Based on what is real, what can be seen and felt, not in your essence

Relating to things beyond the physical realm

Mythos-pattern of beliefs expressing often symbolically the characteristic or prevalent attitudes in a group or culture

Realism (in philosophy) about a given object is the view that this object exists in reality independently of our conceptual scheme.

These objects are ontologically independent of someone's conceptual scheme, perceptions, linguistic practices, beliefs, etc.

Doesn't have a specific answer

Scientific Philosophy does have specific answers

There can be A PHILOSOPHY OF ANYTHING/EVERYTHING, even deciding which type of pencil to use in a classroom

A way of thinking about questions. SO RAISE QUESTIONS, not just ANSWERS! THINK! Don't just preach, question one another.

Philosophical vision doesn't just see the physical world but also beyond it, even a spiritual worlds

Anything can give you meaning but nothing can truly give you meaning. The truth is in the person themselves because each person has an essence and if they are true to that, they find meaning= meaning is found within yourself.

Everybody has there own essence, there is no right or wrong kind of essence. Everyone has their own belief that you cannot force onto another.

Your essence gives your meaning. Without your essence, you do not have meaning. Like a knife is not a knife without the essence of the blade. Essence often has purpose, like the blade.

Teachers cannot partake in alcohol and drugs while on duty, whether on school property or not.

Public or Religious School for my child: depends on what they want

Spiritual: brings the Spirit, whether we know God or not. Isn't an organized religion.

Religion: Defining what is good and what is bad

Wolk

Schools are like factories, all about programming the student to work but not focusing on teaching the students

Schools focus on work and not teaching

Schools are teaching more about knowledge than creativity

Wolk talks about true issues that we are seeing in schools. Schools function like a factory, where the students are told to "fill in the blanks" instead of thinking outside the box and having their own thoughts. I agree with him that it is important to develop our own person rather than being programmed.

Bednar

Having firm foundations will keep us rooted in our ideologies

Having a blueprint of your life will prepare yourself for stuff of gospel and education things

Learning is about action and change. You do what you learn. ACTION!!

Learning and teaching is apart of your personal ministering

This talked reminded me of a similar talk where an apostle talked about "spiritual whirlwinds". The key point to me in both of the message is that we shouldn't fear but have faith in our Father and Redeemer. It is important that Elder Bednar stated there will be hard times, but faith is stronger.

Beecher

Beecher said a very powerful statement" those who follow Christ are has His Spirit are His disciple." But, how do we know when we have His Spirit? Do we follow Him to have His Spirit or do we have His Spirit by following Him?

Gender roles in SCHOOL: women and men should not have different roles in schools. Rather, there should be a balance role for each gender in the school place. Students should have equal respect for their teachers regardless of their genders.

Co-education versus singe gendered education?

Relationship between student and teacher...

Addams

I was confused to what Addams was saying, but I did like when she said "...they did not know how to search for the children without the assistance of the children." I do not believe as teachers we need to know to perfectly what our students our thinking, but we should be looking after them as their teach.

Perry

I went to both a charter and public school. I had equal opportunities to learn and make friends in each, if I took the opportunities. But it is important to learn at home too, as Perry did with her mom. Learning is at home and at school. We all learn in different ways.

There is different qualities of education between each teacher, if the teachers compare the students to numbers, it is not good. Education is about the student being the best they can be not just the numbers in a system.

Plato

Comenius

Rousseau

Pestalozzi

Without using what we intake, our knowledge is in vain.

the group of metaphysical philosophies that assert that reality, or reality as humans can know it, is fundamentally mental, mentally constructed, or otherwise immaterial.

idealism manifests as a skepticism about the possibility of knowing any mind-independent thing.

How I can know something is true.

the study of the nature and scope of knowledge and justified belief.

It analyzes the nature of knowledge and how it relates to similar notions such as truth, belief and justification. It also deals with the means of production of knowledge, as well as skepticism about different knowledge claims.

philosophical study of the nature of being, becoming, existence, or reality, as well as the basic categories of being and their relations

The examination of what is meant by 'being'.

Study in Value and belief

Have a BALANCE between VOLUNTEER and ASSIGNED WORK

Volunteer- It is good when you want students to answer a question because you don't want to force a question out of a student.

Assigned- There are times when assigned work is good because it helps the student narrow things down and give students a sense of direction to what you want to teach them.

How can I teach my students better and help them understand and love learning?

What is my role as a Teacher besides teaching?

Depends on the class size and days you had to do an assignment

Team

Individual

The role of students and teachers

Follow the expertise

Grade each other

Too much of a gap between learner and teacher can create different issues

Students talk to other students differently than they would their professors.

Teachers have the expertise in grading than the students. The teachers have the training, understanding, and experience than the student when it comes to grading papers.

Feedback is different than assessment!

You can assess students without them even knowing

When you give feedback to a student, you tell them what you are assessing

Assessment is grading and evaluating but without feedback of any kind

Feedback can be given by students, not always have to be with teachers

"No child left behind."

Each Student gets a highly qualified Teacher

Brown v. Board of Education- Federal Government role in Education

No discrimination!

Every student will be tested and have qualified teachers because the Fed. Gov. will have different tests to determine the qualifications of the potential teacher

About 15% of Ed is Federally paid, the rest is State paid

Fed. Gov. funds certain things in Education in order to dissolve discrimination and bias

"Every student succeeds."

Each Student gets a highly qualified Teacher

State Government is bigger than Federal Government in Education

States and Districts have more control of how education works than Federal Government because Education isn't listed in the Constitution.

Federal Government is in Education because of Demorcracy

With the tools come certain kinds of policies

Each teacher use tools differently than others, so there will be different policies

Group Work

Group work can be good when each individual actually DOES THEIR PART!

We can learn from one another in group work

If you have a slacker, issues will arise in group work

Who am I and what motivates me?

I am a child of God and that which is good, especially God and my family, motivates me.

How do I view those I teach?

I view those I teach as my fellow brothers and sisters, we are equal, for I teach them and they teach me. Though I am their teacher, so am I also their student, for their unique thinking expands my own.

What is my work as learner and teacher?

As a learner, I must engage myself in the best books and sources, including wise people, in order to grow and learn from them. As a teacher, it is my duty to teach what I know in order to spread on the cycle of knowledge.

What is worth teaching?

Everything is worth teaching, especially that which is good. Though we are taught about wars, which are not good, we are taught of them to learn from them and to grow. So, that which we can learn from and grown is worth teaching.

How do I learn?

I learn by doing. I am a hands-on person and also a sit-in-my desk and learn student. I learn by observing then by doing it myself.

Upon what foundation are U.S. public schools built?

U.S. public schools are built on the foundations of taxes, but more important, students and teachers, for the school is just a building without teachers to teach and students who want to learn.

What is the role of school in society?

The role school has in society is equally important to the roles of parents: to help the next generation grow, learn, and prepare for their own futures. In short, to TEACH!

Why is Christ known as the Master Teacher?

He teaches His students for their benefit and not His own

He is the exemplifier for all teachers because He shows us all the way we should go to be the best self we can be

Principles and Doctrine of Philosophy

I don't agree with Kierkegaard's doctrine that you can't have truth in a crowd. I know the reality that disorder is more likely in a crowd, making it harder to spread truth, but truth can be in any size, from a teacher to a student from a Prophet and members.

Metaphor of Learning and Teaching: An ORCHESTRA: Like an orchestra, you can learn many different aspects of subjects, from math to history to art and english. In an orchestra, you need to have every member playing in order to have the full score. Now, you must learn from every different aspects, even from different kinds of teachers (for as each performers play differently, so do each teacher teach differently). Now, there is no best or better instrument, for each voice plays an important role in the orchestra. Like this, there is no best or better way of learning, it all depends on the student. Some people may like the way a cello sounds and plays than the violin like some might like how one teacher teaches this subject than another or they might like history over math, because it makes more sense to them. But education is education, it is better to learn something than not at all, similarly, it is better to play an instrument than just stare at it, hearing nothing.
