My Research-Based Theory of Teaching


Abstract
This paper is expressing my own theory of teaching based off the research that I have done and from my educational psychology class. This paper will be describing my own opinion on what are the major topics of education psychology. The areas of information that this paper will be covering are in the areas of child development, learning theory, motivation, teaching strategies and keeping control of a classroom, teachers and technology, assessments, and grading. In each topic I discussed which areas within the topics I believe are more important and what I would incorporate into a classroom if I was a teacher. Each topic is supported with my own personal opinions from going through school, information from my educational psychology book, and from an internet resource.

My Research-Based Theory of Teaching

What makes a good teacher? Is a good teacher based off the knowledge that each student brings out of the classroom, or is it based off how a teacher motivates their students to become what they have inspired to be, inside and outside of a classroom? A good teacher to me is a person who can motivate a student or even a friend to work to hard to reach a new level. Now that new level can be in any area ranging from education, sports, or even music. While growing up, all of my good teachers had similar qualities but each had their own method of teaching. It is interesting to understand how each style of teaching worked best for them, and was also effective in the classroom. For a better understanding on what makes a good teacher, this paper will be explaining the major topics such as teaching strategies, attributes, and other characteristics that I believe are important from my research in educational psychology.
