Personal Philosophy...

For school I'm rewriting my personal Philosophy of Education Statement. Previously my PoEs was written under a strong religious influence and college and for my course requirements I had to more or less write it as my "Personal Religious Philosophy of Education" with a strong religious tone to it. Now I'm writing it from an Agnostic's point of view without any religous tone whatsoever. It's quite a change. It's been causing me to think about some emotions related to my previous religious experiences. I guess the major overtone is a little bitter and I should probably deal with that. I don't even quite know where to begin dealing with that. For now I think I'm just going to concentrate on my PoEs and get that set since it does not DEPEND on my feelings about my previous religious experiences. It only depends on where I stand now religiously if anything and really none of those spiritual beliefs will be included in my Statement. I thought I had figured it all out but if I'm feeling upset about it I haven't completely dealt with it, have I? Beyond that I've been cramming so much information into my head that I can't wait until these courses are done. Only four more weeks and I'll be done for a week or so. For now we've been talking about "Theory X and Theory Y", "Maslow's heirarchy of needs", "Constructivist Methodologies", and "ILPE - Investigating Learner's Previous Experiences". It's been too long since I dealt with these subjects and it's been a stretch even though it does feel good. I'm looking forward to more classes.

It's rare that I take the time to write anything self-reflective. When I do, reading it years later is always interesting. Who wrote that? It doesn't sound like me.Posted 08-08-2009 at 01:28 PM by sapiens

Amaxing how we can change in just a few years. The last PoS I write over 10 years ago. The change is intense. I think it's healthy to have that barometer to show us how we change.Posted 08-08-2009 at 07:14 PM by raeanna74
