Create your own personal teaching
philosophy. Create a minimum of a 3-page paper in length that answers
this question: What are your beliefs, values, and assumptions about the roles
of the adult educator and the purposes of education? This paper will
provide an overview of the information you glean regarding your teaching
perspectives and teaching styles gained through the completion of the two
inventories. Based on this information, you will then develop your personal
teaching philosophy.
For your writing assignment, include the information you
gained from each of the inventories regarding your teaching perspectives and
teaching style. You may find it easier to then consider these questions as you
begin to develop your teaching philosophy:
What experiences, people, knowledge sources, etc. that have
shaped your ideas about education? Describe your learners and explain why you
have chosen to educate this group. How do you believe your learners learn best?
What content or subject matter do you teach your learners? What do you believe
is the most important thing they will learn from you?
In the future I hope to become a Denal clinical instructor where I will be instructing and mentoring dental students in a clincal setting where they are treating their own patients.
Below are my results from the different inventories we were instructed to use to create our teaching philosophies.
Teaching Style inventory: https://www.texascollaborative.org/tools/TSI.pdf
– Teaching Goals Matrix : applied and understanding.
– Quadrant
D = Instructor prefers analysis to rote learning and focuses on familiar
applications
(Example:
Students are presented with real-world problems in which they use formulas and
processes such as plotting designs for car parts using AutoCAD.)
– Teaching Methods matrix: Enactive and cooperative groups.
– Quadrant
D=Instructor prefers to have students learn through hands-on activities
completed collaboratively (Example: team lab projects)

teaching philosophy is a written description of your values, goals,

your teaching statement develops from your teaching philosophy and
uses evidence from your teaching to make the case that you have excelled as a
teacher.
