Question.1168 - Quiz
Answer Below:
Share which educational philosophy you ranked the highest and what you ranked the lowest. Why did you rank them that way? Your Answer: Educational Philosophy 1 - low importance 5 - high importance I guess my ranking stands around 4 since I believe my understanding inclines towards the educational philosophy discussed by Professor Shaw, wherein it is important to have a blend in order to suit the dynamic shift in the demand trends in the work environment; however, in order to rate them in individually: Job training - 5, based on my experience Job training enables individuals to train on a specific tool or software needed for the chosen field rather than studying irrelevant subjects and that might hardly be used while working. Academic Rationalism - 3 - it tends to have balanced importance based on the line of career while at the same time imposing biased ideas or concepts could ruin the free will of an individual and give them a preconceived notion before they could be independent individuals in the society. Critical pedagogy - 5 - since it is the basic purpose of education leading to cognitive awareness, only when one attains the benefits of critical pedagogy will they be able to experience self-actualization. Technologism - 1, it is the least important because the rest of the four philosophies suffice or fulfill the very core purpose of technologism. What do you believe is the purpose of education? Your Answer: Purpose of education - although this question demands a broader spectrum to explore, I would like to answer it based on my personal experience with an example that when babies are born, they are not born with the innate sense that feces are of bad order, in the process of growing up they develop an understanding which comes with cultural teaching. Similarly, there are endless learnings one could attain that aren't innate to a human being. To phrase this magnitude, one lifetime of an average of 60 to 80 years of educating oneself is barely sufficient to be educated about all that there is, although the common misconception about education is to get a job, which most individuals fail to recognize the stagnation phase, when they stop education after getting a job they tend to achieve stagnation, they stop growing and learning. So, I believe the purpose of education is to provide individuals with the right knowledge and enable self-actualization, helping them to recognize that learning for human beings is boundless. On the other hand, people fought so hard in the past that I believe the primary goal was to attain what the oppressed class had; knowledge was something that the oppressing class had, which they held as though it was a privilege. Education gave the people the freedom to live that rightfully belonged to every being in an equitable manner. It was a statement that was made for liberation; the ones that attained education showed the masses that fought several signs of an improved life with quality in lifestyle and voiced against discriminations that people believed were true. The importance of education among the oppressed class severed as a unity that, with discrimination and biases, it reminded the government that it was formed based on the basis of democracy. The masses wanted the ability to question what was happening, and education was the only way to achieve it. Based on the lecture and the assigned reading, why do you think students and communities fought so hard for Ethnic studies? Your Answer: Students and communities fought so hard for Ethnic studies because it was- born out of the movement - which demanded a society/government to recognize their conscious/unconscious bias, discrimination, and oppression against minority groups in order to attain value constitutionally that gave them legal backing. Ethnic studies is one of the basic places of recognition where students are able to express their freedom of speech; if that is taken away, it questions the core democratic freedom.More Articles From Ethics
