CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF PHILOSOPHIES & THEORIES OF TEACHER EDUCATION

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with existence (study of Metaphysics, i.e. Ontology -Reality, Cosmology -The Universe, Theology-The God), knowledge (Epistemology), values (axiology: Values, Ethics, Aesthetics), reason (Logic), mind (study of the faculty for thinking and knowing i.e. essence of mind, accidence of mind, relations of mind), and language [1][2] (a set of symbols of communication and the elements used to manipulate them). The word "philosophy" comes from the Greek word philosophia-philos, which means "love" and sophy, which means "wisdom"), which literally means "love of wisdom". [5][6] Usually, philosophy refers to the general beliefs, concepts, and attitudes possessed by an individual or group. You have a philosophy of life that consists of a set of general beliefs, concepts, and attitudes about life, and you probably have a philosophy of education in which you have a set of general beliefs, concepts, and attitudes about education. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. 1

Philosophy of Education: Different Views of Different Scholars

International Journal for Empirical Education and Research, 2019

Your educational philosophy is your beliefs about why, what and how you teach, whom you teach, and about the nature of learning. It is a set of principles that guides professional action through the events and issues teachers face daily. Sources for your educational philosophy are your life experiences, your values, the environment in which you live, interactions with others and awareness of philosophical approaches. Learning about the branches of philosophy, philosophical world views, and different educational philosophies and theories will help you to determine and shape your own educational philosophy, combined with these other aspects. There are different views about the method of education. In this article, we will discuss about that.

Philosophy RediscoveredExploring the Connections Between Teaching Philosophies, Educational Philosophies, and Philosophy

Journal of Management Education, 2009

Teaching philosophy statements reflect our personal values, connect us to those with shared values in the larger teaching community, and inform our classroom practices. In this article, we explore the often-overlooked foundations of teaching philosophies, specifically philosophy and historical educational philosophies. We review three elements of pure philosophy and five seminal educational philosophies to help readers ground their personal philosophies in both a theoretical and historical context. We illustrate how core elements of one's teaching philosophy can influence course design and the classroom environment. We suggest that teachers can develop greater authenticity in the classroom by deepening their understanding of their own philosophical ideas and beliefs.
