Thinking about Teaching and Learning

Information to include in my philosophy of education paper:

-A teacher's personal philosophy of education should always be changing and evolving. (Hall, Quinn, and Gollnick, 2008, p. 262)

-I suppose that I consider myself on the same page as Jerome Bruner and his discovery method. This stresses the development of thinking skills and problem solving abilities. The learner desires to understand what is being taught to them. I can also agree with Asubel however, just because material is "presented" instead of "discovered" does not make it any less meaningful. (p. 268)

-While writing my personal philosophy of education paper I should keep in mind that my ideas may be short lived and change in an instant. (p. 281)
