    Existentialism emphasizes that humans have free will to make choices and are responsible for the consequences. Teachers can apply this by encouraging students to explore their own feelings and thoughts through personal experiences. Existentialists believe we create our own values and find meaning in life through the choices we make, which assert our freedom. The teacher's role is to expose students to different life paths and foster an environment where they can freely choose and define their own essence.

    NOTES:

    Existentialism –
     Existentialism begins with the observation that humans are free beings who have
    to make choices in life. For example, they must choose what values they will live
    by and what they will do with their lives. But this freedom means that humans are
    also responsible for their actions. They alone are accountable for what they do,
    and no one else can take responsibility for them.
     Existentialism can be applied to education because it emphasizes the importance
    of personal experience and self-knowledge. For example, a teacher can use
    existentialism to help students learn by encouraging them to explore their own
    feelings and thoughts.

    Existentialists -
     Existentialists believe that we create our own values and find meaning in life by
    making choices. The way we make these choices is through an act of will that
    asserts our freedom in the face of what appears to be an external reality
    (determinism) or even an internal reality (psychological determinism).

    Role of Teacher –
    The teacher in existentialist education is there to provide pathways for students to explore
    their own values, meanings, and choices.
    Since existence precedes essence, the existentialist teacher's role is to help students
    define their own essence by uncovering them to various life paths and by fostering an
    environment in which they freely choose their own preferred way. This is because
    existence precedes essence, the existentialists' primary goal is to "help students
    understand and appreciate themselves as unique individuals who accept complete
    responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, and actions."

    Take note: Existentialism suggests that human beings should have freedom to
    make choices and then be responsible for the consequences of your choices.
