Furthermore, my overall teaching philosophy is based on two principles, which are supported extensively in the literature, constructivist, and social cognitive theory.

My educational philosophy is that I believe all students are capable of learning. They all do not learn at the same rate, but with different methods and strategies it is possible. Students should not be thought of as mindless individuals just waiting to be filled with knowledge by their teachers. Quite the opposite; students should be viewed as
My Philosophy of Teaching. A skillful educator builds good relationships with her students based on mutual respect and trust and sets the tone for a classroom community. When I think about my role as a teacher, the one thing that I constantly have focused on is the relationships that I have built with my students.
My teaching philosophy is largely based on three theories: 1) Social Cognitive (Bandura, 2001), 2) Constructivism (Dewey, 1938), and 3) Expectancy-Value theory (Wigfield & Eccles, 2002).

I have found that student learning improves when I use real-world clinical case studies, group discussions, cooperative learning strategies, active learning, peer teaching, narratives, debates, and games, in addition to visually-supported and engaging lectures.
My own teaching philosophy is based on two principles, which are supported extensively in the literature: constructivist and social cognitive theory. Employing constructivist methods of teaching in the classroom encourage students to take an active role in their education by making choices and assuming responsibility for intelligent inquiry and ...
