Articulate a personal philosophy of education noting specifics of belief in the areas of worldview foundations. The philosophical foundations will include: metaphysical and epistemological beliefs; the applied beliefs will include: the role of the teachers, students and curriculum in the classroom environment; and relevant issues will include: discipline, diversity, curriculum development, professional development, and learning communities. RESEARCH MUST be ten pages long with references. Need help!

I am new here; however, what kind of help are you looking for? I will help if I can.
Is there any comparison between the learning communities, countries?

Hi William. Yeah, this one seems hard. I'll help you look at the components. It is many things, not one thing:

Articulate a personal philosophy of education.

Explain your specific beliefs in the areas of : metaphysical and epistemological beliefs

Explain your beliefs about the role of the teachers

Explain your beliefs about the role of students

Explain your beliefs about the role of curriculum

Discipline

Diversity

Curriculum Development

Professional Development

Learning Communities

ABOVE, I see 10 one=page papers for you to write. Just do one of them for now. Write a page about your epistemological beliefs. Start by googling "epistemology."

Just do the first page for now! :-)

I think that you should have a schedule and manage your time because it can become over wheleming. Email your professors about your interest and see if they are working on any projects. Start working with as a research assitant
