EDUC 703 P HILOSOPHER V ALUES & E THICS T EMPLATE DISPOSITION HISTORICAL EXAMPLE With Citation CURRENT PROPOSED APPLICATION SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Fairness, Justice, Equity According to Scott (2020), Rousseau believed that children learned from the experiences that they had in life. Children are born naturally with the impulses to do well, but exposure to things beyond their norms affect their psyche. Students discover who they are and judge what is right or wrong through the experiences and examples that they encounter. Teachers in the classroom must provide an education for students that prepares them to be well-rounded member of society. In the present time, educators are usually tasked with instructing students how to be productive members of society, but without the benefit of instilling values. Teachers can provide students with case scenarios that will help them to determine what is right or wrong to steer them in the right direction. COMMITMENT Work Ethic, Committed to the Field of Education John Dewey believed that students become creatures of habit, so what they experience is vital to the rest of their lives. Zembylas (2021) explains that teachers are some of the most influential individuals that children will ever see, so it is important for them to reflect and respond appropriately to their own life events so that students receive the proper models of behavior and reaction. Teachers must be committed to providing lesson plans and instructions that will help students to overcome whatever obstacle that they may face. Many school districts, including mine, have developed Social Emotional Learning (SEL) plans to help students and teachers alike. The more time that teachers commit to providing meaningful lessons, the more likely the students are to respond appropriately when faced with a challenge. REFLECTION Critical Analysis, Reform, Progress, Data-based Decisions John Locke believed that children are responsible for their own thinking. What they experience through their education influences their thoughts and guides their actions. Sullivan (2019) notes that Locke felt that the thoughts of children should be carefully analyzed and corrected when need be. Teachers today can use various methods to assess the knowledge of children and assess the merits of their thinking. It is of utmost importance for educators to provide students with the opportunities to think for themselves and also to express those beliefs. The challenge will be balancing those thoughts against the social norms of the day and also personal thoughts (of the teacher). With the goal of education being to produce good citizens, critical analysis is important.
EDUC 703 INTEGRITY Ethical Leadership Aristotle believed that a strong moral compass is essential for a fulfilled life. Lawrenz (2021) divulges that Aristotle believes that people who have a strong ethical foundation are happier in life and can serve as notable examples to others. The key to happiness is through the gaining and implementing of knowledge. It is of utmost importance for educators to be strong role models for children. The students look up to the teachers more than may ever be realized. Some students become inspired by what they see their teachers do, so it is imperative that the teacher displays behavior that is worthy. Teachers can use their own moral standards to display love and fairness to the students and show them the proper ways to live and function in life. PROFESSIONALISM Effective Problem Solving B. F. Skinner is well known for his work in the field of psychology and his opinions on motivation. Whether intrinsic or extrinsic, Skinner believed that many factors affected student learning. Demorest (2005) explains that Skinner proposed that students learn to solve their problems only when they have the interest in doing so. The students must be willing to accept the challenges with the belief that they can be successful. Teachers can use interest surveys to learn about what students really want to learn. The concepts that teachers must teach can be taught, but they have to be taught in a way that students can learn; the key is to make them want to learn. Teachers can use the interest surveys to develop lessons and activities that will keep the students engaged. References Demorest, A. (2005).
