need your love and understanding.
Philosophy
The study of the nature of knowledge and
existence and the principles of moral and
ethical value.
The general principles of a field of study.
(Philosophy of education)
Wisdom or insight applied to life itself.
The philosophical teachings of a group.

how to function in society (families, school)
The Fundamentalist Perspective sees society
as sharing a common set of values. This leads to
institutions such as families, schools, govt. &
religious bodies that promote social cohesion
The Conflict Perspective sees schools as places
where contending interest groups compete for
educational advantage. They look for potential
winners & losers when they look to change school
programs.

Transmission of the general culture


Dissemination of knowledge
Preparation of the world of work
Promotion of social and group
relationships
Encouragement of social change.
Philosophical Perspectives -Axiology
Axiology focuses on questions of what ought to be
Is there a particular standard of moral behavior
that you, the teacher, should emphasize? Many
students have concluded that life is not worth
living.Will you stress academics or moral behavior
How should life be lived?
Does life have any meaning?
What is the highest good?
What is moral & immoral?
What is beauty?
How should a person behave?
Philosophical Perspectives - LOGIC
Logic deals with the relationships among ideas and
is used to differentiate between valid and fallacious
thinking.
Deductive reasoning Make sure students have a
solid grasp of principles or ideas through example.
Direct instruction, advanced organizers, and lecture
are teaching strategies that are often used.
Inductive reasoning Gather a large number of
examples before instruction begins to represent the
principal you want to get across to learners. Inquiry
approaches & discovery learning are teaching
strategies used.

attitude Lots of lecture impart information to
students Students to learn & retain factual inform.
