"Students are not mere receptacles of information." I believe that students are capable of acquiring knowledge on their own; they don't need to be spoon-fed to learn and understand various concepts and ideas.
However, the teacher still serves an important role as a facilitator of the learning experiences which are essential in the development of the students. Under the guidance and supervision of their teachers, students must be given the freedom to contest, if necessary, old ideas and explore new ones.
The first time I read the philosophy of education of MITIS, I found myself nodding in agreement. I learned that in addition to the student-centered education, it recognizes the role of the community in shaping the learners into competent and responsible individuals. The students and their schoolmates, their families, their teachers and the school all play an important part in the holistic development of each student. Consequently, success can be achieved only when all these collaborate with each other.
Knowing these, I am eager to be one of the factors that would inspire and help students achieve their goals and succeed in life. Hopefully, I will be effective enough as a teacher to stir them up and motivate them.
