Philosophy of Education: Different Views of Different Scholars (original) (raw)

2019, International Journal for Empirical Education and Research

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.

Philosophical perspectives on education

Educational philosophies originate from general philosophical systems and are comprehensive and in-depth, while educational theories are specific and formulated to serve the educational needs in the curriculum, teaching and learning. This chapter introduces philosophical perspectives on education by discussing five major educational thoughts or philosophies (Idealism, Realism, Pragmatism, Existentialism, and Postmodernism) and five main educational theories (perennialism, essentialism, progressivism, reconstructionism, and critical theory). Key concepts and educational implications are highlighted for each of the educational philosophies and theories.
