Dr. Bruce Forciea
Teaching Philosophy
"Learning is not so much an additive process, with new learning simply piling
up on top of existing knowledge, as it is an active, dynamic process in which
the connections are constantly changing and the structure reformatted."
K. Patricia Cross
I hear, and I forget. I see, and I remember. I do, and I understand.
Chinese Proverb
The above quotes are two of my favorites about teaching and together
summarize my philosophy about teaching. Learning is about relationships. It is
about how information is connected to create structures of thought. The
assimilation and integration of information is what sets us living beings apart
from the non-living. As the quote states, "it is an active, dynamic process."
I believe it is the teacher's role to create an environment to foster these
connections. The teacher helps to guide the student through the maze of
information. The way this can be done is illustrated in the Chinese proverb.
Again the emphasis is on active learning. To do is to understand. The teacher
guides and challenges the student through the teacher-student relationship.
