Assignment:
The following instructions will be distributed. The Final Personal Philosophy Statement is written in essay style.
We have spent the semester analysing different types of theories / approaches in an effort to help you formulate a philosophy of your own considering the research and approaches taken by others before you. In essay form, using headings to identify each section, and in your own words, explain your personal philosophy using the same categories we focussed on during class. These categories are:
1. Purpose - What are the purposes of early childhood education?
2. Learning Theory - How do children learn?
3. Environment - Under what physical / environmental conditions do children learn best?
4. Curriculum - What should children be taught? How should children be taught?
5. Role of the Teacher - What makes a good teacher (qualities and behaviours)?
6. Guidance - What child guidance techniques should be used?
*When stating your personal philosophy, you must refer to which particular theory you follow in each of the categories and WHY? The theories you may choose to identify with are:
- Montessori Theory
- Emergent
- Reggio Emilia Theory
- EarlyON Child and Family Centres
- Full-Day Learning
- School-age Care
INSTRUCTIONS: You need to give explaination for above given questions by using the above given theory in your answers.
