I took the survey to figure out my educational philopsophy. I scored the highest with the Progressivism, Cognitivism/Constructivism and Humanism. My Humanism score was slightly higher than the others. You can find its description is below. This was such an interesting activity because it really makes you think about what you deem important for learning. I think that there are components from each of my top three that make up my personal educational philosophy.
Humanism - Humanist educators consider learning from the perspective of the human potential for growth, becoming the best one can be. The shift is to the study of affective as well as cognitive dimensions of learning. Beliefs include: human beings can control their own destiny; people are inherently good and will strive for a better world; people are free to act but must be responsible; behavior is the consequence of human choice; and people possess unlimited potential for growth and development. There is a natural tendency for people to learn, which will flourish if nourishing, encouraging environments are provided.
