Study On The Teaching Art As A Whole

Good teachers not only need to learn pedagogic theories but try to combine theories with practices and develop their own understanding of and views on education. That's just what I've been trying to do since I began my teaching career more than ten years ago.This dissertation centers around my teaching practices of Korean and attempts to present my views on Child Education, opinions of and practices in listening, speaking, reading and writing of the teaching of Korean, ways of how to lay a good foundation of reading and expressing for children and how to improve children's thinking, imagination and aestheticism. Rudolf Steiner's and Alfred Whitehead's pedagogic theories are the theoretical basis of my dissertation as well as a starting-point of the understanding of human beings and education.This dissertation consists of six chapters.Chapter 1 focuses on my feeling about and understanding of education and child teaching, the relationship between teachers and pedagogic theories, the specificity of teachers' work, the impacts which pedagogic theories have had on me, and etc. Education is made up of practices guided by pedagogic theories. Pedagogic theories held by teachers such as how we understand education, how we understand teaching, and so on, will inevitably influence their educational goals and implementation of teaching.Chapter 2 focuses on the relationship between child development, children's self-identification and education, the relationship between children's self-consciousness and self-identification, the relationship between family, teachers, school assessment, social context, reading and diary, and children's self-identification, by means of observation and thinking. In addition, it attempts to illustrate the importance of children's identification using the theory of self-identity and cases in my teaching.
