Philosophy of Education is a systematic reflection upon the variety of activities and practices by which we seek to impart knowledge and information and develop human capacities. This course is designed to emphasize how philosophical ideas about education developed over a considerable period. This course also will address how historical influences, settings, and ideas have influenced and continue to have relevance for education and life today. Emphasis will be placed on helping students develop ideas about education and provide tools to use in thinking about issues in education. Study of philosophical theories will assist in understanding the source of many popular opinions and perceptions regarding education. The course is also founded on the view that philosophy is not only an academic discipline, but also a way of life. |
