Book Synopsis Critical Thinking and Education by : John E. McPeck
Download or read book Critical Thinking and Education written by John E. McPeck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The skills of ‘critical thinking’ occupy a contentious place in debates on education. It is of course widely recognised that education must consist of more than an unreasoning accumulation of facts and skills, and that modern society demands a highly-developed critical awareness to cope with its ever-increasing complexities. Yet the very term ‘critical thinking’ threatens to become a vague and unexamined slogan, displayed more in party tricks than in useful knowledge. In this book, first published in 1981, Professor McPeck offers a critique of the major ideas and important work in the field, including those of Ennis and de Bono, while at the same time presenting his own rigorous ideas on the proper place in critical thinking in the philosophy of education. The book aims to establish a sound basis on which the role of critical thinking in schools can be evaluated and the author makes a strong case for the contribution it can make to resolving current dilemmas of the curriculum.

Download or read book John Locke written by M. V. C. Jeffreys and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1967. Locke's views in the field of education had great influence in the UK and abroad; and the aim of this book is to present them in the context of his general philosophical thinking, since it was mainly as a philosopher that Locke won his place in history. Because Locke was at the same time very much a man of affairs, and an interesting character on his own merits, the book gives a fairly full account of his life and times. Some attention is paid to his relations with the brilliant political adventurer, Lord Shaftesbury, without whom Locke's own career would have been very different, and might not have offered the opportunities which led to his writings on education. The book seeks to emphasize the importance of Locke's empirical approach to truth - the method of modern science, without which the modern study of education, and the science of psychology in particular, would never have developed.

Book Synopsis Science Teaching by : Michael R. Matthews
Download or read book Science Teaching written by Michael R. Matthews and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science Teaching argues that science teaching and science teacher education can be improved if teachers know something of the history and philosophy of science and if these topics are included in the science curriculum. The history and philosophy of science have important roles in many of the theoretical issues that science educators need to address: what constitutes an appropriate science curriculum for all students; how science should be taught in traditional cultures; how scientific literacy can be promoted; and the conflict which can occur between science curriculum and deep-seated religious or cultural values and knowledge. Outlining the history of liberal approaches to the teaching of science, Michael Matthews elaborates contemporary curriculum developments that explicitly address questions about the nature and the history of science. He provides examples of classroom teaching and develops useful arguments on constructivism, multicultural science education and teacher education.
Book Synopsis Philosophical Issues in Education by : John Kleinig
Download or read book Philosophical Issues in Education written by John Kleinig and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philosophy of education is an important component of most education courses. In recent years the subject has separated itself out into two traditions, one emphasizing the use of analytic philosophy, the other engaging in radical social criticism. This book brings together the strengths of both traditions and takes stock of the debate. Throughout the discussion is rigorously analytical, yet, at the same time, the study goes beyond consideration of the narrow range of topics on which radical writers have focused attention. It thus provides a new introduction to all the major philosophical issues in education which is different to existing competing works on the subject.
