After finishing this course I can't say that my learning philosophy has changed much from the beginning I was hen become on the fence between pragmatism and constructivism, which may seem like night and day to many, but I chose Pragmatism. I think it still plays an important role in teaching the foundational information. Once the foundation has been established constructivism emerges.
I think it’s easier for me to release the learner to his or her own experiments and discoveries once they have received some basic knowledge. My goal is to always equip them to go further than they have been taught and make sure they are active during the entire process. I will even go so far as to let them steer or direct the lesson. I want them to reflect on their learning and engage in discussion with one another and seek to solve problems. I then shift from teacher to adviser.
