Philselfology and the Insight of Role of Teaching: Global Literary Missions and the NCLB-II
posted September 20, 2007 - 12:49amPhilselfologically, we may comprehend that the taught is also as important as teacher. It is the taught who gives new experiences, shapes, colors, developments and meaning to what we as teachers teach his or her in any form. For a teacher, taught is more than a pearl of humanity for future as it bears the highest level of sharing in the form of knowledge, truth and reality, moreover the development of education depends upon the strength of this relationship and bond between the two.
It does not appear that any school of Philosophy is going to ignore this. In other words, it is the relation between teachers and taught that is more important. The third of the apex is the subject matter, i.e., what they should share, communicate, exchange between each other and one another. One human life is very short to share the human knowledge, truth and reality. So even if we have the best teacher and the best taught with perfect relationships between the two, the output and hence meaning, importance and worth of their relationship will be useless if what they share, i.e., subject is of no importance to their lives.
So the subject matter is more than the activator and promoter for the teacher, the taught and their relationship with each other.
A good teacher can make best of the weak subject matter and a good taught can learn from it but education includes all teachers and learners irrespective of their level of understanding, comprehension, aptitude, attitude and so on. We should or may accept that Philselfology is concerned with the person not with what he or she possesses physically, emotionally, mentally, philosophically, educationally and or socially. For example, if the person is physically healthy, it does not mean that he should not be taught Philosophy or science.
As we have discussed earlier whatever is included in the curriculum or syllabus appears boring. It is right because we as the students feel that we are going to be 'taught.' The picture would have been entirely different if we see it as if we are going to learn it. One of the beauties of teaching is that we as students never feel bored in the company of that teacher who himself or herself learns with us and gives impression to us that he or she is also learning with us.
Whenever teacher is teaching with attitude that he or she is teaching us, we may get bored of anything that is being taught. It means the teacher who enjoys what is being taught we as students will take it that he or she is also learning with us and the text-books will get their honorable place in education otherwise the story will be confined to teacher and books will become silent.
Let us try to be insightful philselfologically for all types of teachings and learning’s so as to maintain peace of mind.
Let us ask ourselves
* Are we philselfologically aware that methods of teaching direct insight of learning?
* Do we accept in practice the importance of teacher-taught relation for integrity of humanity?
* While going towards 21st century are we focusing on learning rather
than feeling that we are being taught?
* Do we accept the teachers as the gift of nature as communicators
between nature and us?
