Philosoophy?

In this photo I created a paint document to display a part of my philosophy that I have encountered and developed more thoroughly.

When I first created my teaching philosophy I said, “I believe that students learn by doing hands on activities; active learning, I will be sure to incorporate these types of activities into my class.” After having the opportunity to take HLT-215 which is also known as Significant Issues of Health I have developed or expanded my beliefs about active learning and hands on activities.

I have developed my philosophy during my health class because during this class we are not actively moving or doing hands on activities but we are actively learning. We are actively learning by having in depth discussions about issues in health. While having these in depth discussions each person in our class is making connections with their life to the issue being discussed? When I make a connection with my life to the issues I understand the issue and information the instructor is relaying and I retain the information easier than the information I obtain by reading the chapters. What I now know is that active learning is not only hands on activities. My philosophy would be changed to; I believe that students learn in many different ways. They learn through inquiry, making connections, going into depth thoughts and also by asking questions. Active learning is not the only was students learn. Because I now know that students learn in many different ways I will be sure to be very diverse with the activities and learning environments a set up for my students.
