Why teach?
 To shape my student's
behavior.
 To help student
understand and

focuses on the
modification and
shaping of student's
behavior.
 Existentialism
 This philosophy help
students understand
and appreciate
themselves as unique
individual.
 Essentialism
 This philosophy
contends that teachers
teach for the learners
to acquire basic
knowledge, skills and
values. Learners are
not only equipped
with vast amount of
knowledge but with
the values they need.
As future teachers,
it is not the
teaching that must
only considered
but it is what and
how we teach. Let
us always bear in
mind what Henry
Adam Brooks
said "Teacher
affects eternity
and we don't
know where his
influence stops."
What to teach?
The skills which students
need to face the
challenges of the 21st
century. These skills are:
1. communication
skills
2. Learning and
innovation skills
• communicator
•committed
• innovative
 Progressivism
According to this
philosophy, "Change
is the only thing that
does not change."
Thus, teachers in this
viewpoint are more
concerned with
teaching the learners
As future teachers,
we must teach our
students the skills
and knowledge
that they can use in
the future.
According to
Chinese proverb,

 Existentialism
Existentialist methods
focus on the individual
that suggests that
learning is self-paced
and self-directed.
Educators as we
are must not only
stick to one
strategy/method to
use in teaching but
use as many
applicable
methods/strategies
to the subject
matter. "Different
strokes, different
folks," this
statement suggest
that we have
diverse types of
learners inside the
classroom, thus,
the teacher must

a. My goal/s for my student is/are
As a future teacher my goal to my students is to help them develop their own skills. I
will help my students become a good citizen in the society, by treating them fairly and
inculcate in their mind that every individual as its own capability of doing things. I want
also that my students learned more in my subject taught before living, by employing
different strategies that will cater their needs.
b. What I really want to teach to my students is/are
I want to teach to my students the knowledge that they need that is anchored to my
subject taught through using varied teaching method. Imparting them good behavior to
become a better person.
c. I teach my students by
As a future teacher I will teach my students by inspiring them and motivating them to
study hard, like the saying “teacher who inspire know that teaching is like cultivating a
garden, and those who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather
flowers”. Because if a teacher keeps on scolding or getting angry inside the classroom
even in a single matter or small mistakes of a students will lead to the students to get
bored or he/she will not attend my class.
d. What philosophy do you adhere to? Why?
Existentialism, because the main concern of existentialist is to help students
understand and appreciate themselves as a unique individuals who accept complete
responsibility for their thoughts, feelings and actions. So as a future teacher my role is to
help students define their own essence by exposing by exposing them to various paths
they take in life by creating an environment in which they freely choose their own
preferred way.

My goal/s for my students is/are
to educate and to help them build and achieve their aspirations and dreams in life. I will
be their guide to discover their potentials and gifts from God. I will let them feel that they
are of great importance and that they must be given attention so as to cater their diverse
learning needs and to develop life-long learning among them.
a. What I really want to teach to my students is/are
the necessary skills and attitudes essential for their holistic development. I will teach
them how to keep abreast with technological and educational development so as to
become globally aware. I will also teach them the 21st century skills so that they may
become leaders and productive members of the developing society.
b. I will teach my students
by providing real learning experiences in a student-centered and value driven teaching-
learning environment. I will teach them by providing authentic tasks to develop and
enhance their skills so as to become life-long learners. I will make use of the recent
educational software and high technologies incorporating varied and appropriate teaching
techniques and assessment methods in teaching a certain concept so that they may learn
progressively and become globally competitive students in their generation.
What philosophy do you adhere to? Why?
I really adhere to progressivism because this educational philosophy reminds me of the
most important stakeholder in a certain school known as the center of the educative
process, the learners. As a teacher in the future, I should primarily consider the diverse
learning needs and interests of my learners. Also, I really believe that understanding them
is of great significance and involving them in the teaching-learning process is a must so
as to help them achieve life-long learning.
