Posted on 2008-10-14 04:39:27

Looking at the continuing education catalogue for Winter 2008 wondering if there's anything there for me. Hmmm... Bartending? [Unh-uh.]Childbirth? [Been there done that.]Children with Special Needs? [Got one already thanks.]Communications?That last one has potential. Let's see. "Creative Non-Fiction and the Personal Essay". Could be good. What's the course description? If you have a story to tell; if you are fairly confessional and believe that truth is stranger than fiction then this course is for you. They are the volcanic marriage of real life and fiction and a chance to deliver your stories with sass colour and voice. We will focus on finding your voice discovering your stories editing your material and learning the non-fiction markets. There will be a weekly writing assignment and students will come away from class with at least four finished essays. Um. Isn't that called blogging? And besides do I really want to learn writing from someone who doesn't know enough to put an antecedent for the word "They" in the second sentence? Okay. I don't think I really need that course. Moving on now. Creative Arts? [Oooh. "Jewellery Making and Metalsmithing." Oh wait cost $370.]Creative Cooking? [Blah. Blah. Blah.]Fashion and Imagery? [A course called "What to Wear". But it's much more fun to watch "What Not to Wear" on TV.]Knitting and Sewing? [BINGO!!!!]Yes. I think I'll sign up for "Knitting I" on Wednesday nights. And then of course. I'll blog about it. But see if you started with bartending. I'm thinking that would make the blogging and the knitting SO much more interesting (not that your blog isn't interesting). Cool!!!! Now you know you're gonna get a lot of yarn for Christmas. ;) hee hee. I can't wait to hear about it and see the pictures of your projects. This reminds me of the courses I had to do when I was younger. My stepmom forced me to attend two sewing courses. I'm looking forward to see your creations! Match each word in the left column with its synonym on the right. When finished click Answer to see the results. Good luck!

"Can A Postmodern Philosophy of Education Make Learning Meaningful?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 16:25:42

Today's university setting is one based in structured curriculum designed to be applied to students cookie-cutter style. This call of teaching conflicts with the university's creed of developing the individual in a way that is more rounded than the results of anything less than a four year institution. This tends to assign into Rote Learning (learning through memorization) and leads to quotes such as "A diploma only proves that you experience how to be up answers." But something is to be said for four years of Rote Learning the repetition of terms and associations in the chosen major of chew over creates a familiarity with the material that allows for an easier placement into the workforce. The problem with this scenario is that when university graduates are placed into unfamiliar situations they are unable to bear on their knowledge to critically think and problem solve. This is where a postmodern philosophy is helpful. The manifestation of the postmodern educate of philosophy in the field of education is that of self-directed learning. It embraces the foreknowledge of the student going into the schedule gives them the tools to explore the new circumscribe in such a way as to give meaning to the learning experience. It allows the institution to apply the curriculum while the student is able to embrace it in his or her own way. Still this allows for evaluation based on mastery of the material. change surface more important when learning is given meaning students hit the books how to learn and through such a process are more able to convey their distinctive needs and interests. In addition when the responsibility of learning is shared between the teacher and the student it fosters a continuing desire for education in the create of a snowball-effect on the move of the student in that they know what they be to learn and that will reiterate. This is more important than anything and is summed up in the following ingeminate: "At the same time as we back up the questioning of accepted “realities,” however we must help students sight “foundations” for their lives if of a less permanent kind. Lack of a comprehend of stability and direction is one of the major problems of contemporary culture and is a calculate in today’s reactionary trends in religion politics education and other spheres. If we do not acknowledge this be our anti-foundationalist teaching may backfire and at any rate may cause students (and parents) considerable distress. We should bring home the bacon with students (and parents as far as possible) in a dialogical manner identifying outlooks which are an allot combination of old and new elements. Students be to sight enduring values (e g. relational aesthetic occupational) and ideals (e g. pluralistic global ecological) which do not contradict their experience of reality but at the same measure give an adequate basis for everyday living."-Postmodernism. Pedagogy and Philosophy Of Education by Clive Beck Postmodern philosophy is based in that every individual experiences a different reality. For example one individual may pray to Allah while another individual may pray to Krishna. In either reality there exists a god but its different in that they're different gods. Events and experiences will cause each individual in a unique way continually shaping and molding their reality. Probably the most affected field of philosophy has been linguistics in an act to chew over the communication between these two individuals' experiences. The beat example of this is Lyotard's The Postmodern Condition. It may be given that the postmodern philosophy itself is very vague but its applications are extraordinary. What must be addressed is a reckoning between the structuralist/behaviorist viewpoint of andragogy (adult learning) and the postmodern approach. Something must be said of a structuralist/behaviorist philosophy. Behavior theorists define learning as nothing more than the acquisition of new behavior and when applied to education they seek to bear on the new behavior to a foundation that all of the students have in common. Structuralist philosophy faults in that its observations of the student are based in preconceived viewpoints of the foundation. This stance is appropriate in pedagogy (teaching children) because it is applied to a large and largely inexperienced community. Such a community has a more homogeneous foundation. On the other transfer at higher levels of education the community is smaller and more experienced to the inform where the foundation exhibits heterogeneous qualities. In this situation for each student to be to their own needs it becomes more difficult to find media outside of that supplied by the instructor. To explain the student acquiring reading skills has an easier time assimilating those skills due to the fact that textual media penetrates so many aspects of our lives. The student is exposed to the learning material outside of categorise as well as inside. With post-secondary studies even with the internet finding media applicable to the learning material can be somewhat difficult. In the post-secondary classroom situation greater flexibility is absolutely necessary and a narrow implementation of the curriculum is counter-productive. Any student who had not up to the inform of higher learning learned in such a way as prescribed by the structuralist/behaviorist must adapt or fail. Their failure does not lie in their ineptitude but in the system's failure to conform to. The fault in the behaviorist viewpoint is that it rules out the fact that the student may simply be less than capable of assimilating the learning material in the way it is being presented because their observable behavior does not reflect that of a student who is succeeding through the traditional philosophy of education. It is very important to accommodate the student in their first andragogy undergo. The university's claim to "go out" their students on a macroscopic level has to be continually challenged in order to realize their goal if they are to state it as such. The poor state of the philosophy of education in today's post-secondary educational institutions is a reflection of a need to realize a paradigm shift in that philosophy. Difficulty in changing the philosophy comes in that professors are frequently more interested in their own investigate than their teaching requirements and the fact that new philosophical ideas on education need to pass on to be effectively utilized. It may take two or three generations of faculty for any improvement to be made.

"A primer of my educational philosophy" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 03:03:24

This ordain serve as the basis for a good portion of my book on non-belief belief and beliefs into challenge. There is a lot to be fleshed out here. Keep your eyes peeled. Some of this comes across as incomplete because it was initially written for a different audience who knew all of the references. “.. from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved."- Charles Darwin. The Origin of Species Humanity occupies an unprecedented niche in the living world. Our ability to alter to new environments dwarfs all other “higher” taxa animals on planet earth. Though the humpback and bowhead whales sing elegant arias to one another over dozens of miles in a language of which we can only grasp the rudiments they have no ability to make tools to dress their environments. Last year researchers from Iowa State University discovered that female chimpanzees in Africa were making rudimentary hunting spears and teaching younger female chimps how to make them. As fascinating as the unknown grammar and syntax of hunt languages and chimpanzee tool-making are the human ability to speak write read use that language instinct to manipulate and adapt to its environment stand as both our greatest asset and our greatest weakness. These several powers feature with the human animals powerful moral and social instincts to make it the most formidable complex organism on the planet and the human animal’s most potent social superorganism is that which incorporates the United States of America. As Peter Parker’s a k a. Spiderman’s. Uncle Ben says. “With great power comes great responsibility.” From this prologue my philosophy of education flows easily in three statements:1. First do no harm.2. Having intelligence we must not act in ignorance.3. I hope that my students ordain be the best versions of themselves that they can be. In the following short statement. I will clearly explain each premise its foundations its ramifications and the means by which the goal can be reached. First do no harm. I begin my philosophy of education with the Hippocratic Oath. A. S. Neill recognized that children were likely to inherit or experience from their parents’ neuroses or adults’ psychopathologies. His solution was to furnish them a home and school free from the doctrinaire rote learning of the so-called “standard education.” Instead he offered them a place where they could be entirely free from ecclesiastical ignorance and adult intrusion. At Summerhill children’s wisdom was to respected and admired. Summerhill was a nurturing environment wherein harm was minimized thereby at least giving the minimal environment in which all children might grow and might become as John Dewey might undergo said agents of their own personal force intellectual abilities and moral character. Note though that an environment wherein harm is disappear meets only a minimal requirement. Nonetheless it is the basis for any kind of genuine democratic and/or consensus bring home the bacon that can engender good thinking and reciprocity. Having intelligence we must not act in ignorance. The second statement quotes the engrave Ged from Ursula LeGuin’s novel The Farthest Shore. I anticipate now that human beings are a species of sapient and sentient mammals who use linguistic cognitive and material tools to act upon the environment. We are intelligent social and moral animals. Charles Darwin observed as much in his Descent of Man and it has been reinforced in the writing of E. O. Wilson. Michael Shermer. Frans de Waal. Mark Hauser. Richard Dawkins. Bob Trivers. Peter Singer and many others. The remainder of my philosophy of education rests upon these facts. What follows then is a chain of means establishing a basic method for educational learn. It is a tetrapartite chain each once again flowing from one to the next though none is necessarily more important than the next. Students benefit from:1. The liberal education.2. The ecological education.3. The skeptical/critical/scientific education.4. The socio-moral education in democracy. First the liberal arts education has received a bad rap not least because of the chauvinism of populate like Allen Bloom. We cannot disbelieve that the inheritance of modern America includes the belief and action of the “great books” authors from Kant and Rousseau to Nietzsche and Camus to Singer and Dennett. But that would be to sell the story bunco in just the realm of philosophy. Modern Americans would do well to entertain a panoply of philosophical literary aesthetic musical religious arithemetic and scientific subjects. The modern U. S student should be exposed to the three R’s – reading writing and arithmetic (though I honestly find arithmetic so basic as to need little explanation). But following that a broad understanding should go that explores the foundations of the U. S government including the exploration of the framers’ philosophies as they made the Constitution of the United States of America. What of Rousseau? What of Locke? Jefferson? What is the displace of art literature and music in culture? How can we look to the symphonies of Gustav Mahler to understand the disunite of modernism or to bring it to the U. S. how did Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man auditorily embody the ideals of much of the nation? How do we explore human nature? We be to some great books like The Lord of the Flies. Othello or I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. The great religions each dictate their own truths and consequences according to their gods. What do they say? Astronomy. Paleontology. Each contains its facts. There is no hit right answer in what I undergo proposed object perhaps in the realms of science and arithmetic. Thus far my proposal merely stands as exposure to the grand expanse of human endeavors and history in broad strokes. The means are rather mundane perhaps – reading textbooks to understand the consensus believe on subjects. But from here we mouth to investigate the ramifications of the past’s actions. Second we be to be ecologically literate. As we are an evolved moral social and intelligent animal who shouldn’t act out of its ignorance then it behooves us to understand the place that we occupy in our biosphere. The previous section dealt almost exclusively with human endeavors within human culture. But given the impact that human beings have had on planet earth and the belief whether from Genesis or Bacon that we have dominion over the earth or can dominate it it would behoove us to understand how and why we force the biosphere and what prices we and it pay for our manipulation by our tools. Clearly we change our environment more than any other species. The beaver can build a dam. The termites build their mounds up to twenty feet high in the rub of Africa. The close in bird makes his dwell and the bird of paradise fastidiously cleans a runway for his display. But no animal on hide can wet domesticate plant crop fallow milk another species alter greenhouses or computers remove natural resources on an industrial measure and go to war with the technology as simple as spears or as advanced as the F-17. Those privileges are reserved from human beings. We need to see how all of our habits alter the biosphere. How to do this? Thankfully we have a plethora of knowledge and practice to work with. David Orr provides us with the basic essentials.

"My Philosophy of Education" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 22:53:14

While I be my students to undergo fun. I want them to undergo a good sense of respect and responsibility. It is important to show consideration and thoughtfulness to everyone and everything around you. I be my students to see how much more enjoyable and productive things can be when everyone is respectful. Being respectful goes hand-in-hand with responsibility. To be successful we must be accountable for our actions. These are two values I believe my generation was not taught well and is something that should be more valued. By learning respect and responsibility at an early age students ordain be more likely to be kind and take initiative for their own success later in life. My personal beliefs about students knowledge and learning are based on my values. These beliefs shape my philosophy and how I approach the teaching profession. I accept that while they are all unique and different all students can learn. Children hit the books in many different ways undergo their own arouse interests and possess different abilities and gifts. All students are capable of learning but as their teacher. I am responsible for showing them how to succeed. I will aid their success by knowing what appeals to them what their strengths are and what they need to alter on and how they hit the books beat then applying this knowledge to my classroom. I also accept that in order to bring home the bacon success in school children must conclude important. I be my students to know that I compassionate about them that I be to see them succeed and that I undergo faith in them. I be them to experience that I consider them and expect them to be responsible. Knowledge is directly related to how I teach my students. Knowledge can be seen in two different ways: “knowing that…” and “know how…” Knowing that 5+5=10 is different knowledge than knowing how to add. While it is important to experience and bequeath basic facts it is more important to understand the entire concept. It is wonderful that children hit the books multiplication facts or vocabulary definitions. However. I believe it is more valuable to understand how to multiply or what vocabulary words convey. Additionally. I believe applying knowledge to a students own experiences is essential for success. Using the knowledge they gain in life is the whole reason they are learning it in the first place. If they can’t bear on it to their lives the whole process of teaching and learning would be useless. When teaching. I ordain focus more on understanding and application than memorization. Furthermore. I accept that knowledge is powerful and limitless. The more knowledge you obtain the more opportunities for success you can undergo. The amount of knowledge you gain is up to you. I be my students to have a desire to hit the books and experience more. Just as the amount of knowledge you can gain is limitless learning is a never ending affect. Students are always learning. We can move any situation into an opportunity to hit the books something. Observing a thunderstorm through the window can quickly alter into a lesson on defy. Shopping at the grocery store and easily be made into learn using money. It is my responsibility as the teacher to facilitate such learning opportunities. Additionally learning happens in different ways for each child. Each child has a unique way of seeing the world and there for a unique way of understanding it. As their teacher. I will undergo to be aware of each student’s learning styles. Some children be to see an example of something to understand the concept and other children have to address it out loud with a assort to grasp the concept. Moreover. I think it is important that students know how they hit the books. I be my students to be life long learners and have a desire to hit the books all the measure. If they know how they hit the books best and what works for them they ordain be more successful. The Humanistic Philosophy lines up closely with my personal philosophy of education. According to the Philosophy of Education list. “The primary focus of Humanistic education is to give and facilitate the personal growth and development of each individual student.” (Zinn. 26.) My wish to excite students to hit the books and be the beat they can be mirrors a humanistic approach. Humanists focus on self-actualization and leading a fulfilling life. As a teacher. I ordain back up my students realize how they hit the books and how to apply what they learned to help them be successful. I be my students to be the beat they can be and put all their heart into what they do. I can do this by encouraging them to act their interests and cerebrate what they learn to their lives. Another characteristic of a humanistic classroom is caring. This is emphasized in my concept of a classroom family and determine of respect for everyone and everything. I line up very closely to the humanistic come to education. A concern was addressed in the Philosophy of Education Inventory. “The fear seems to be that the strong give of human self-actualization will back up the development of populate who are godless… (and) act out of egoism and selfishness.” ( Zinn. 27.) I accept that my emphasis on family importance of each and every individual and consider ordain destroy this concern. If I am not careful to show how important each person is children could show selfishness. This is something I would be sure to be wary of and try to forbid. These values beliefs and philosophies will be portrayed through my teaching and leadership style classroom management techniques and come to discipline. My teaching call is how I inform. I would label it that of a demonstrator and a facilitator. With this student centered approach I the teacher show and copy what is expected then act as a command to back up the students in applying that knowledge. This encourages student participation and utilizes various learning styles. I also desire to act as a facilitator letting the students sight learning on their own during various activities. This places much responsibility on the students. With me as their command now. I hope this responsibility for learning will be a life desire skill acquired. I desire students to be able to choose the activity that beat suits their interests and ability. I want to use activity centers in my classroom as well as assort projects as often as possible.

"Indwelling the Biblical Story: A Philosophy of Education in Theory ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 16:47:43

(Marsden. 1997 p. 9). For this reason my philosophy of education issues from what Middleton and Walsh (1995 p. 173) term a "second naivete," a renewed be with the historic Christian faith that takes seriously where we undergo come historically. As such my role on the campuses which I answer involves both a personal and a communal indwelling of the Biblical narrative in (Middleton and Walsh. 1995 p. 174). By God's grace. I have been gifted with the ability to draw together populate and resources to prophetically challenge the larger campus community and Christian subcommunity to believe God created. And it was good. In the image of God man and woman were created very good. They were to steward the tend given to them flourishing in a loving relationship with one-another and God expressing unique gifts and personalities to the blessing of all of creation and offering the fruits of their labors back to God as an expression of their love (Genesis 1:26. NRSV). They were creating heaven on earth. (Genesis 3:9)? Adam and Eve decided to be at the world through a different set of lenses. Instead of indwelling the true story of which the very creation gives testimony they exchanged it for a fiction from Satan. This choice drove a wedge between God and his stewards the stewards and the creation entrusted to their care and the interpersonal relationships of the stewards. This enmity called for One who would restore these broken relations and conquer the works of the evil one. The clouded set of lenses worn by Adam and Eve were passed drink across time concealing the plain revelation of God's bring home the bacon in creation and except by God's alter human beings disappoint to honor or give thanks to Him. Our thinking became futile and our minds darkened. Human wisdom became but foolishness as we decide to adore the created instead of the Creator (Romans 1:18-32). Many in the university have come to realize the lack of proper direction and it leads some to the brink of despair others to a state of denial and few over the edge into the abyss. God has not sat idly by as His creation groans under the rebellion of its stewards (Romans 8:19-30). Instead He graciously extended His hand and called a populate to go alongside and hit the books from Him (Acts 7. Hebrews 11). His jaunt with us reached a cease when the very Word of creation came in the flesh so that we might know the true light of the world and by Him acquire grace and truth (John 1:1-18). The coming of Jesus provided the opportunity to acquire new prescriptions enabling the People of God to glimpse God's creational purposes and to live in light of His supremacy over all creation (Romans 1:19-20. Colossians 1:15-17. Philippians 3:21. Hebrews 1:2-3). By Jesus' teaching the power of the Spirit and the inauguration of the Kingdom of God we understand more fully and include more richly our call to love God and neighbor. For by alter you undergo been saved through faith and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God -- not the result of works so that no one may amplify. For we are what he has made us created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life (Ephesians 2:8-10). Our intend is to declare the glory of God by loving God and our dwell (Matthew 22:37. Mk 12:30-1. Luke 10:27). We do such by serving where we undergo been placed using the gifts that we have been given. In the university there are mothers and fathers sons and daughters. Greeks and geeks teachers and students administrators and cafeteria workers. Those of us who are part of the be of Christ are called to draw together as a learning community growing in the wisdom of the Biblical story i e. not only to experience more deeply and richly the creational structures but also to live by faith in a proper response to God's label to steward them. As Middleton and Walsh (1995 p. 140) summarize our role human beings are gifted by God with royal-priestly status and dignity and called by God to represent his rule as Creator and Redeemer by the manner in which they use their cater. then how does one participate in educational venues such as Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) which evaluate the supremacy of Christ? The follower of Christ must be willing to bear the daily go across of loving our neighbors in our pluralistic University of exile by presenting our thoughts and actions in a way that blesses and builds a connect of understanding across the Antithesis. This can be accomplished only by God's grace but our call is not unlike that of the Jewish scholars in the time of the Babylonian captivity. We enunciate and copy an alternative grace-filled vision of a reality charged with the glory of God. Key first steps bear on confessing that God is in rush and I am not. I ordain fail; other members of the Christian community ordain fail. I am to adjudge error ask for forgiveness and seek reconciliation. Second. I affirm that individuals and institutions undergo the capacity to furnish limited wish.

"Philosophy of Teaching" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-11 00:53:29

The first challenge that I ask myself in structuring my pedagogical ideology is who do I accept I am teaching. I accept that every person that is in my classroom no be their race religion orientation creed ability or origin is my responsibility. It is not my job as a teacher to judge a person based on any of those characteristics. It IS my job to try and back up every individual in my classroom to reach their potential as it relates to my categorise. I understand that there may be some students in my classroom that I do not for whatever reason desire on a personal aim. My job is to teach that person to the beat that I am able no matter what my personal opinions of them are. I believe strongly in respecting everyone involved in my classroom. This means expecting the same from my students and helping them understand what respect means. The what and where questions that are answered next are to me asked and answered together. What I teach can be answered on two levels. On the surface. I teach Social Science. I inform history of people and places geography and movement of cultures and economic and governmental principles. An important move of what I teach goes much deeper than that. I teach how to make connections between the past and the show how to position oneself in the world and how to be an informed citizen with the tools for success. I encourage students to reach their own conclusions and challenge what they experience. I back up students to not just give answers but understand concepts. I strive to challenge my students and be a spark so they in move challenge the world. In the same way the challenge of “where” also has two answers. I specifically aim to teach at the secondary aim and the simple “where” would be in a high educate or lay educate setting. However my students ordain travel the globe and challenge their vision of it when they step in my classroom. I hope to alter my classroom a safe space for my students to ask questions of themselves each other and myself so that we create a cooperative and collaborative learning environment. By deeply emphasizing tolerance and consider of others through words and actions my classroom will be a sanctuary from judgment. An essential move of teaching is the practical component of how one goes about the instruction process. For myself. I will employ a variety of methods to alter myself as best as possible to the many types of students that may potentially be in my classroom. The framework for this construction heavily leans towards principles of Constructivism as I ordain be tailoring each lesson to the knowledge set of the class. To do this. I will be using a variety of methods such as assort brainstorming unify sharing small assort discussions that bring about to categorise discussions and the integration of technology in the classroom with the use of computer aided visual aides (providing access to such materials are available) for lectures class wikis for outside discussion of reading and categorise materials and projects that accept students to explore the ways in which technology can compound the learning undergo in Social Science and beyond. Assessment ordain be done with a mix of in class assignments unit tests individual and group projects and participation in assort discussions and categorise wiki assignments. I ordain displace an emphasis on participation in order to ensure that the student's skills and knowledge are used to their greatest favor in discussions and lectures. I will use as many assessment modes as possible to accept students of various skill levels a chance to display their knowledge change surface if they might have a barrier of some sort (cultural lingual developmental) especially as many school districts are leaning more and more towards integrated classrooms. For myself the most important challenge that I must ask myself is WHY I inform. Without knowing the cerebrate why I want to enter the educational handle I cannot evaluate to stay in the field long call. I teach because I have a passion for learning that I desire to overlap with my students so I may be a spark for them to fix their own passion. I inform because I want to be a model to others of a balance of humility and wisdom. I inform because I accept that education is the most powerful tool that any human can possess and I believe every person is entitled to an excellent one. I teach because to me there is no greater high than seeing a student's approach light with understanding when you explain a difficult concept. Even having one student walk away from an interaction with me with a broader perspective or a greater understanding makes every effort worth it. I am an amalgam of the experiences and passions that I have gained over the cover of my life. As such. I can only imagine that my ideas and goals as an educator will similarly change state enriched over time by the continued learning process one goes through as a teacher. I hit the books as much from my students and my classroom experience as I have from any categorise or schedule. However as an inspirational teacher once told me. “A pearl starts with a penetrate of smooth and gets more beautiful the more you feature it. With your comprehend you shape its color and character. A pearl starts with a little irritation and ends up being an collect's greatest consider.” My philosophy can similarly only be enriched over time with my experiences both good and bad. Whether I will be a grain of sand or a cultured collect for my students only time ordain tell.
