Educational Models
Democratic School
In a democratic school setting, children have more freedom in their learning. They are able to learn what they would like and how they would like to learn it. They are fully in charge of their learning. Students have a vote in the rules and regulations of the classroom.
I like some aspects of this model. I do agree with the idea of the students choosing what they will be learning about. I think students are more engaged when they are very interested in what they are learning about. I also really love the idea of putting the younger and older students together. I truly believe children of different ages learn more from each other than just their peers or other adults. What I don’t love about this model is that I don’t feel like there are many rules and structure to the day. I know many children that this wouldn’t work for.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed
This was my least favorite educational model. I don’t like the idea that students are just fed the information from the teacher and have no voice when it comes to their education at all. They are just given the information to remember. I don’t think this model is great for children. There is no focus on the children themselves and the education.
Flipped Classroom
Students in a flipped classroom are very active in their learning. Classes can take place online and outside of the classroom setting as well. They talk about their learning through discussions with others. I love the idea that students can help better understand material through working with others inside and outside the classroom. I think students learn best this way. What I think is a major downfall to this type of educational model is the fact that in order to complete the outside of classroom learning you need access to technology; for some students that could be hard for them.
Montessori
This educational model focuses on more hands-on experiences and learning from other students of many ages. The younger students learn from the older students and vice versa. I think this model provides students with more freedom and independence than other models. However, there is more limits and regulations on this type of model compared to the Democratic model. I like the idea that children can learn at their own pace and that teachers help guide them through it. I also believe this model wouldn’t work for all students.
Waldorf
This model focusing on creativity and the passion of the students. I like the idea that students learn at their own pace and interacting with people. I think its important for students to be able to stay with a topic until they fully understand it without having to move on with the rest of the class. However, I don’t like the idea that students don’t focus on any academics until a later age. I think students can start academics younger as they are developing their skills.
Glen Urquhart
This model focuses on teaching children to be respectful, explore and discover the world. Students are able to collaborate with others and learn from their peers. I also love the idea that students are given different ways to learn about a topic. I think this is the most important aspect to this model. Not every way of teaching something benefits every student by allowing for different ways it gives all the students a chance to learn and explore.
