Download or read book Educational Philosophy for 21st Century Teachers written by Thomas Stehlik and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores education in the 21st century in post-modern Western societies through a philosophical lens. Taking a broad perspective of education and its attendant terminology, assumptions, myths and influences; the author examines why we teach as opposed to how. In doing so, he includes not only teachers, but all adults who are involved in bringing up children. Applying philosophical theories throughout history to present day practice, this volume is sure to be a useful resource not only for teachers who are just starting out, but those with an interest in education in the past, present and future. This wide-ranging book will be valuable for educators, parents and educational policy makers, and all those who believe it takes a village to raise a child.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teacher's Practical Philosophy a Treatise of Education as a Species of Conduct (Fifteen Lectures) The views set forth in this volume are essentially the same as those given to many thousands of teachers and others interested in education, in Japan, Korea, and Hawaii, during the Academic year of 1906-07. Among the Japanese, especially, the interest in the moral aspects and values of the system of public education was at that time intense and pervasive. It embraced not only the teachers as a class and the officers of the Government in the Department of Education, but also the leaders in the army and navy, in business circles, and in civil and social affairs. As instances of this interest I might cite the remark of a veteran of the Russo-Japanese war who declared that his principal anxiety in training the nearly thirty thousand recruits under his charge was to give them the right "spiritual education;" and also the fact that I was repeatedly urged into giving additional courses of lectures on the ethics of business in the Government Commercial Colleges, where ethics is made a required subject of study through one or two years of the course.

Book Synopsis Teaching Philosophy by : Steven M. Cahn
Download or read book Teaching Philosophy written by Steven M. Cahn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some students find philosophy engrossing; others are merely bewildered. How can professors meet the challenge of teaching introductory-level philosophy so that their students, regardless of initial incentive or skill, come to understand and even enjoy the subject? For nearly a decade, renowned philosopher and teacher Steven M. Cahn offered doctoral students a fourteen-week, credit-bearing course to prepare them to teach undergraduates. At schools where these instructors were appointed, department chairs reported a dramatic increase in student interest. In this book, Cahn captures the essence of that course. Yet many of the topics he discusses concern all faculty, regardless of subject: a teacher’s responsibilities, the keys to effective instruction, the proper approach to term papers, examinations, and grades; and suggestions for how administrators should demonstrate that they take teaching seriously. Such matters are covered in the first seven chapters and in the final, fourteenth chapter. The intermediate six chapters focus on teaching introductory philosophy and, in particular, on critical thinking, free will, philosophy of religion, ethics, and political philosophy. Cahn’s writing is lucid and lively, using vivid examples and avoiding educational jargon. In sum, this book is not only a guide on how to inspire students but also an inspiration for teachers themselves.
Book Synopsis Philosophy in Schools by : Sara Goering
Download or read book Philosophy in Schools written by Sara Goering and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us ponder the big and enduring human questions—Who am I? Am I free? What should I do? What is good? Is there justice? Is life meaningful?—but this kind of philosophical interrogation is rarely carefully explored or even taken seriously in most primary and secondary school settings. However, introducing philosophy to young people well before they get to college can help to develop and deepen critical and creative thinking, foster social and behavioral skills, and increase philosophical awareness. Philosophy in Schools: An Introduction Philosophers and Teachers is an invaluable resource for students and practitioners who wish to learn about the philosophy for children movement, and how to work its principles into their own classroom activities. The volume provides a wealth of practical information, including how to train educators to incorporate philosophy into their daily lessons, best practices and activity ideas for every grade level, and assessment strategies. With contributions from some of the best practitioners of philosophy for children, Philosophy in Schools is a must-have resource for students of philosophy and education alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy in Education: Questioning and Dialog in K-12 Classrooms is a textbook in the fields of pre-college philosophy and philosophy of education, intended for philosophers and philosophy students, K-12 classroom teachers, administrators and educators, policymakers, and pre-college practitioners of all kinds. The book offers a wealth of practical resources for use in elementary, middle school, and high school classrooms, as well as consideration of many of the broader educational, social, and political topics in the field, including the educational value of pre-college philosophy, the philosophies of education that inform this philosophical practice, and the relevance of pre-college philosophy for pressing issues in contemporary education (such as education reform, child development, and prejudice and privilege in classrooms). The book includes sections on: the expansion of philosophy beyond higher education to pre-college populations; the importance of wondering, questioning and reflection in K-12 education; the ways that philosophy is uniquely suited to help students cultivate critical reasoning and independent thinking capacities; how to develop classroom communities of philosophical inquiry and their potentially transformative impact on students; the cultivation of philosophical sensitivity and positive identity formation in childhood; strategies for recognizing and diminishing the impact of social inequalities in classrooms; and the relationship between introducing philosophy in schools and education reform.

Book Synopsis Philosophy and Practical Education by : John Wilson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1977, Philosophy and Practical Education attempts to relate philosophy with education. It deals with themes like school, discipline, authority, curriculum, subjects, autonomy etc. to 1) discuss topics which are necessarily of direct practical concern to teachers and educators; 2) to showcase that an increase in our conceptual clarity suggests, fairly unambiguously, certain kinds of practical action; and as 3) they have not been properly dealt with in existing philosophical literature. This book is an essential read for educators, teachers, and curriculum developers.

This book was released on 2015-10-31 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the type of book many teachers will keep on their desk and use the exercises very regularly; for me it is up there with Geoff Petty's 'Evidence-Based Teaching' and Paul Ginnis's 'The Teacher's Toolkit' as an essential resource. Worley is an excellent clear writer, who communicates very complex ideas very well.” Francis Gilbert [http://www.francisgilbert.co.uk/], teacher, teacher trainer and author of ' I'm a Teacher, Get Me Out of Here' Inspire your class to think more deeply about curriculum subjects and get them actively taking part in exciting philosophy experiments today! This new book by bestselling author and founder of The Philosophy Foundation Peter Worley is a collection of practical lesson and activity plans to use in the primary classroom to get children thinking philosophically and creatively around different curriculum areas. The sessions - called thought adventures - use thought experiments, stories and poems to get children discussing and understanding topics more deeply. Each session is explained step-by-step, with everything you need to 'do' and 'say' spelled out, and all the equipment you need listed with instructions on how to set up each session. You can implement the sessions in the classroom either as a complete lesson or as an activity within another lesson. All the sessions are tried and tested by Peter and his colleagues at The Philosophy Foundation who work with primary schools on a regular basis.

Book Synopsis The Importance of Philosophy in Teacher Education by : Andrew D. Colgan
Download or read book The Importance of Philosophy in Teacher Education written by Andrew D. Colgan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-29 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Importance of Philosophy in Teacher Education maps the gradual decline of philosophy as a central, integrated part of educational studies. Chapters consider how this decline has impacted teacher education and practice, offering new directions for the reintegration of philosophical thinking in teacher preparation and development. Touching on key points in history, this valuable collection of chapters accurately appraises the global decline of philosophy of education in teacher education programs and seeks to understand the external and endemic causes of changed attitudes towards a discipline which was once assigned such a central place in teacher education. Chapters illustrate how a grounding in the theoretical and ethical dimensions of teaching, learning, and education systems contribute in meaningful ways to being a good teacher, and trace the consequences of a decline in philosophy on individuals’ professional development and on the evolution of the teaching profession more broadly. With this in mind, the text focusses on the future of teacher education and considers how we can ensure that philosophy of education feeds into the excellence of teaching today. This book will be of great interest to graduate, postgraduate students as well as research scholars in the field of educational philosophy and history of education. In addition, it will be useful for those involved in teacher education, and in particular, course, module and program development.

Download or read book The Teacher's Practical Philosophy written by George Ladd and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this work was formerly Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy in Yale University. In 1906 and 1907 he spent some time lecturing in Japan and Korea on the subject with which this volume is concerned. The Japanese exhibited a surprising degree of interest in moral education--an interest that speaks well for the present and future of that people. In his Preface Professor Ladd, in speaking of this, says: "Among the Japanese the interest in the moral aspect and value of the system of public education was at that time intense and pervasive. It embraced not only the teachers as a class and the officials of the government in the department of education, but also the leaders in the army and navy, in business circles, and in civil and social affairs. As instances of this interest I might cite the remark of a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, who declared that his principal anxiety in training the nearly thirty thousand recruits under his charge was to give them the right 'spiritual education,' and also the fact that I was repeatedly urged into giving additional courses of lectures on the ethics of business inthe government commercial colleges, where ethics is made a required subject of study through one of the two years of the course." The author has performed a very important work in preparing the present volume, which is as vital as it is practical. Great emphasis is here laid upon the personal equation of the teacher and the moral element of instruction. It is a volume that will appeal with compelling force to all persons worthy to train the young, and will give them inspiration as well as practical instruction necessary to fulfilling the high function of their calling. Two systems of education have been weighed in the balance and found wanting: The theological education given where state and church are united, and purely intellectual training. In Spain, Portugal, Russia--indeed, in all lands where a dominant religious faith has had the training of the young, we find a most deplorable failure in the development of the noblest and best in the people. Where religious dogmatism dominates education, we find invariably narrow religious bigotry, superstition and bitter hostility to the intellectual freedom which is the handmaid of progress and the wayshower of civilization; while narrow intellectual training has failed to properly develop the moral character of the young or foster that idealism that is as necessary to the true greatness and enduring progress of a civilization of a people as oxygen is necessary to the physical body. Professor Ladd believes that: "The lack of discipline, through moral and religious motives and in accordance with moral and religious ideals, in the home-life, in school and in college, and in society at large is the prime source of all our national evils so far as they are connected with the educative processes now in vogue." The treatise is divided into four major sections, in which are considered at length and luminously the function, equipment and chief ideals of the teacher, and his place in society and the state. --The Twentieth Century Magazine, Volume 4 [1911]
