Module 6-Blog Post Discussion

What is my philosophy of learning?

My philosophy of learning is that the belief of Driscoll (2005).  According to Driscoll belief “Constructivist learning is when students are actively engaged in using problem-solving and their critical thinking skills (p. 387).  Knowledge should be constructed by the students by evaluating their ideas, using their inspiration, and making use of their former knowledge.  The learning must be significant and comparative to their real world circumstances.  More time to think and perform in real life difficulties is not necessary.  What is needed is successful interactive experiences that motivate and enthusiastically engages learners in the learning process.

What do I believe is critical and non-negotiable in the teaching and learning process?

What I believe is critical and non-negotiable in the teaching and learning process in this 21st century is technology.  When technology is executed properly it allows the opportunity for teachers and students to exhibit their inventiveness in learning and use of their own thought process.  In the 21st century we are driven by technology and with its usage learners value applying the proper technology expertise or strategies while using it.  It is believed that teaching is based on the principle that learning happens when learners are actively engaged in a technique where meaningful knowledge is constructed.  In this era a teacher is not seen as the authority figure with all the answers to every inquiry.  The teacher is the facilitator of instructions and while he or she is facilitating, learning occurs for the both the facilitator and the student.  They are both learners, learning from each other.
