Teaching Philosopy Teaching Philosophy Through careful consideration and thorough self-assessment I found that I am a pragmatist in philosophy and progressivist in my teaching theory. I believe that experience is how students learn best. I think by taking experiences in life and applying them to a problem you can not only better understand the answer you can also better understand the possible answers therefore have a more thorough and deeper understanding of any material covered. My pragmatist beliefs have a direct correlation on my teaching theory, which is progressivism. My belief in progressivism has to do with the organized freedom that the theory is based on. I think giving the students a topic/problem to freely discuss makes learning more meaningful and develops an open mind to others beliefs. Due to the fact that I want open discussions in my classroom I would set the room design teaching, theory, set, philosophy, open, feel, students, best, understanding, understand, thorough, think, progressivism, pragmatist, key, everyone, classroom, better, beliefs, whatever, way, topics, topic/problem, though, therefore, taught, taking, sure, student, stimulate, setting, self-assessment, room, relevant, reached
