Having a philosophy of teaching will help a teacher to understand
the actual process of learning as well as on how to be effective which is more
than telling the students to study. According to my cooperating teacher, the
greatest enemy in teaching students with autism is their behavior because we
cannot input knowledge if our students are misbehaving. Seemingly, his teaching
philosophy is more on behaviorism because he make sure that the arrangement of
furniture are well arranged and he is also using visual aids in order to get
desired responses from his learners. As teachers, having a teaching philosophy
will help us to stay focus on our goal and measure our own effectiveness.
I wonder if yours will change in the future...
