Teaching is the special career as it gives rise to other professions. All other
professions originate from the teaching profession as one cannot acquire knowledge
and specific field skills without a teacher. The teaching profession is special in many
aspects, some being that; a teacher is responsible for the provision of knowledge
and skills in society. The teacher is also responsible for nurturing human beings with
different manners and attitudes so that they can live well in the society. He uses
Educational psychology in creating behavioural change to the learners. Unlike an
engineer who deals with the machines, a teacher uses Education psychology to
determine the learning behaviours of children according to their age.
In each philosophy, there are four special terminology that describe these
philosophy which are metaphysics, epistemology, axiology and logic. Metaphysics
deals with the nature of reality, its origin, and its structure. Epistemology examines
the nature and origin of human knowledge. Axiology deals with behaviour,
character,civility and appreciation and expression. Logic deals with how lessons are
organized.
To be specific, let's say that you are an English teacher who has to teach
eighth graders how to write complex sentences when they are now writing in only
simple and compound sentences. Your philosophy tells you to take them from
where they are, in simple and compound sentences, and figure out a plan to get
them to write complex sentences and why they want to learn this as it makes their
writing more grown up.
A teaching philosophy establishes what sorts of things you want your students
to learn. It then goes on to describe how you would want to teach them those things.
By doing these things, it allows teachers to know where they are trying to go and
how they plan to get there. A teacher need to use his philosophy of teaching as to
how to treat students, how to teach every kind of learner, the plan to teach the
objective he have, and to make students use the information he have taught them
so that he know he have reached his goal.
Other than that, the Ministry of Education (1987) first stated that as a
continuation from school level, beginning from 1991, the historical development of
Malaysia should become one of the core subjects in the one-year In-service Teacher
Training course. The aim is to raise consciousness among teachers concerning
historical literacy and historical empathy, and sensitivity to the value of citizenship
and patriotism.
Thirdly, curriculum is not less important than other aspects. It’s defined as all
the educational experiences that are offered by teachers at the school. Another
definition, is all educational experiences that are offered by teachers either in the
classroom or outside the classroom. Besides that, there are several dimensions that
must be accrued in any curriculum. Those dimensions are objectives, content,
teaching methods, and assessment. Objectives mean all knowledge that is
established by the educational institution and achieved by students. The content is
the components of the curriculum which organizes all knowledge in a particular
manner in order to achieve all objectives. Both previous dimensions will be explained
by the teaching method. It means the way that is used to deliver information by the
instructor to students. The assessment aims to determine if the student may have
reached all educational objectives in all areas or not. All the previous aspects are
working together to create a healthy and educational environment for the student,
who’s considered a fundamental factor to build the future.
Although, there are many different branches of education, but the present
time requires the presence of philosophy in the field of education, considering that
the educational philosophy derives its subject from the education. Essentially, the
main goal of any learning process is finding a change in the learner’s behaviour.
Therefore, the measurement and evaluation process is an integral part of the
educational process. There is no right or wrong strategy in any function, because
each strategy has advantages and disadvantages. All ways support each other and
each student is on a different level of learning.
