It is true that many educators do not know what their educational philosophy is. However, it is imperative that educators and future educators know their personal educational philosophies so that they can be accountable, explaining how they teach, what they are doing and why. My personal educational philosophy consists of four components; metaphysics, epistemology, axiology and logic. My educational philosophy Metaphysics (reality) is a combination of realism and idealism, that the mind, spirit and body are connected and should and must work together. God is the father of the universe. He created it for his spiritual children whom he loves and communicates with daily. Individuals are spirit sons and daughters whom God created in his image. Our spirits inhabit a natural body. We are meant to interact and help each other become good and loving, so we can experience joy and ultimately live with God in heaven again. We must train the mind, spirit and body to work in unison for good. Knowledge (epistemology) and logic go hand in hand Knowledge is obtained through emotional, physical and spiritual experiences. I believe that the will and mind should be trained through problem solving activities using democratic and cooperative learning. Problem solving activities also teach students to trust their senses and make better decisions (logic). The scientific method is also a good method for teaching. I believe that students want to gain knowledge for themselves and that they learn in stages. An educator must be well educated and trained to provide a rich learning environment so that when the student is ready, the teacher can guide him. Value and ethics (axiology) are eternal... at the center of the paper.. ....ns of the students would be sent back to class in a polite and non-threatening way, to have a class discussion. My mission is to provide an educational environment for every student that includes motivation and self-discipline, and to instill a love of learning so that students become lifelong learners. I will teach students problem solving and decision making skills so that they can become self-sufficient adults and good citizens who will contribute to the community in positive ways.
