My view of Vygotsky’s Principle of Social Constructivism.

1. Learning and development is a social, collaborative activity.

According to the theory of Lev Vygotsky, effective learning happens through participation in social activities. Parents, teachers and other adults are the contributor of this learning process. They give explanation and provide also feedback to the learners.

2. The Zone of Proximal Development can serve as a guide for curricular and lesson planning.  

The zone of proximal development show the difference of a learner learn by their own or learn with the help of others. By this the teacher will know what appropriate lesson she/he will going to give to the learners.  

My Philosoph as an Educator

Motivator, Manager, Friend, Parent Surrogate, Evaluator of Performance, Facilitator of learning, these are just some of the roles of a teacher. It is simple as it may hear but difficult to perform. Meaning, being a teacher is not easy. But teachers made it already.

                A teacher is not merely teaching but also touching the lives of the students. Being an Educator it doesn’t mean that you only have to educate your learners about a particular topic but it is beyond these.

                As a future Educator, I must have to prepare myself for the big battle in the future. That big battle motivates me to go through the 4-5 years period of vigorous academic preparation in teaching.  For me to obtain understanding and appreciation of the teaching profession. And for to know also the general understanding of the other branch of knowledge.  That’s all!!

Do you trust His Blood to cleanse?

One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member of the church. She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children. 

Before long this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. This is when the problems began. You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.

The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting. As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand. The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past. As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak. He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife-to-be. He began to speak and his statement was this:

"My fiancée's past is not what is on trial here. What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?"

The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters. Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely. If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.

What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

"Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain you. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." Psalm 55:23
