Doing the activity on the assessment of teaching philosophy is indeed an excellent way of opening the class on Clinical Teaching in Nursing. As I am doing my self-assessment on teaching philosophy, I became aware of the differences in the practice of teaching philosophies and was surprised when the scoring came out that I am a mixture of four (4) main philosophies in teaching: Humanism and Information Processing having equal highest scores of 21, then the philosophy of Reconstructionism and Constructivism having equal high scores of 19. First is the teaching philosophy anchored on Humanism wherein it was described as: “Humanist educators consider learning from the perspective of the human potential for growth, becoming the best one can be”. I could say that this is how I view and practice teaching. I believe in the potential of each of my students and I have hopes that in the future, they can contribute to the development of the society and the country. This philosophy also aligns with the vision of our institution wherein it believes that every man is a valuable resource. Developing the potentials of students can help bring about positive change in the family as well as the society and the country. Second teaching philosophy is Information Processing. As described, it is the focus on how the mind of the individual works and the mind is considered to be analogous to a computer. I believe in this philosophy that the human mind is comparable (or even greater) than a computer. As the human mind is capable of receiving, storing and processing of information, it would be an important opportunity for teachers to provide information that would be useful in his day to day life, as well as in the practice of the profession that he belongs to. Third philosophy is the Cognitivism/Constructivism wherein the learner actively constructs his or her own understandings of reality through acting upon and reflecting on experiences in the world. Having this philosophy balances the belief that the human mind is analogous to a computer. Reflecting on life experiences makes us different from computers in processing information. The role of teacher in facilitating an environment conducive to learning is indispensable as well as in mediating experiences to promote learning. Last philosophy is Reconstructionism/Critical Theory wherein social reconstructionists advocate that schools should take the lead to reconstruct society in order to create a better world. As an employee of a teaching institution, it is only fitting that I have this philosophy. I believe that schools play an integral role in the development of society by providing an education that is sensitive to the needs of the society and makes the necessary contributions to make positive changes in the country. Having this self-assessment is a reminder of the discipline I practice in teaching as well as an affirmation that I am in alignment with the philosophy of our institution.
