1. The document discusses different philosophies of education including idealism, realism, pragmatism, existentialism/phenomenology, and neo-Marxism.
2. Idealists like Plato believed that education could move people towards truth and the ultimate good through dialogue and reasoning. Realists like Aristotle focused on empirical research and logic.
3. Pragmatists like Dewey viewed education as experiential and child-centered to meet the needs of society. Existentialists saw education as a personal process of self-creation and choice. Neo-Marxists saw education's role as empowering students to challenge capitalism.
4. Each philosophy's view of the teacher

According to Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory, the concepts of generativity versus stagnation stage occurs by the time when we reach our mid-30s to mid-50s. From here, we start to really examine our lives and see if it is going the way we planned it or did it take a drastic turn. This is where some people take drastic steps and change their lives. It is when we start to question, "How can I contribute to the world?" Finding ways to advance or enhance future generations can help you work toward generativity instead of having a sense of stagnation. The basic virtue of generativity vs. stagnation is "care." This involves caring for others who are close to the person (family, co-workers, friends, etc.) as well as caring for the community or the future generation as a whole. If generativity is not developed, rejectivity, or a lack of meaning in one's life and in one's actions, can occur.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. What is Philosophy of Education
All teachers have a personal philosophy that
colors the way they teach
Engaging in philosophy helps clarify what
they do or intend to do, justify or explain
why they do what they do in a logical,
systematic manner
3. Understanding two important
notions
Who they are or intend to be
Why they do or propose to do what they do
Eric Berne’s three important questions:
Who am I?
Why am I here?
Who are all these other people, and what do
they want of me?
4. The meaning of Philosophical
Inquiry
“Whatever people choose to embrace, if their
choices are made in a logical, rational manner,
they are engaged in the process of ‘doing
philosophy.’”
Three specific areas of philosophical inquiry:
metaphysics concerned with questions about the
nature of reality; epistemology concerned with the
nature of knowledge; axiology concerned with the
nature of values
5. Particular Philosophies of
Education
Idealism, the first systematic philosophy in
Western thought…Socrates and Plato, the Socratic
method was dialogue
Generic notions: Philosophers often pose abstract
questions that are not easily answered but are
concerned with the search for truth
World of matter in constant state of flux, senses
are not to be trusted, continually deceive us
Truth is perfect and eternal, but not found in the
world of matter, only through the mind
6. Idealism
The only constant for Plato was
mathematics, unchangeable and eternal
Plato’s method of dialogue engaged in
systematic, logical examination of all points
of view…ultimately leading to agreement
and a synthesis of ideas…this approach
known as the dialectic.
7. Idealism
Plato believed education helped move individuals
collectively toward achieving the good.
The State should be involved in education, moving
brighter students toward abstract ideas and the less
able toward collecting data…a gender free
tracking system
Those who were brighter should rule, others
should assume roles to maintain the state
The philosopher-king would lead the State to the
ultimate good
8. Idealism
Evil comes through ignorance, education will lead
to the obliteration of evil
More modern idealists: St. Augustine, Descartes,
Kant, Hegel
Goal of Education: interested in the search for
truth through ideas…with truth comes
responsibility to enlighten others, “education is
transformation: Ideas can change lives.”
9. Idealism
Role of the Teacher: to analyze and discuss
ideas with students so that students can
move to new levels of awareness so that
they can ultimately be transformed,
abstractions dealt with through the dialectic,
but should aim to connect analysis with
action
Role of the teacher is to bring out what is
already in student’s mind: reminiscence
10. Methods of Instruction
Lecture from time to time, but primary
method of teaching is the dialectic…
discuss, analyze, synthesize, and apply what
they have read to contemporary society
Curriculum…importance of the study of the
classics…many support a back to the basics
approach to education
11. Realism
Aristotle was the leading proponent of
realism, started the Lyceum, the first
philosopher to develop a systematic theory
of logic
Generic Notions…only through studying
the material world is it possible to clarify or
develop ideas…matter is real independent
of ideas
12. Aristotle’s Systematic Theory of
Logic
Begin with empirical research, speculate or
use dialectic reasoning, and culminate in a
syllogism
A syllogism is a system of logic that
consists of three parts: (1) a major premise,
(2) a minor premise, and (3) a conclusion
For a syllogism to work, all the parts must
be correct
13. Philosopher’s Concerns
What is the good life?
What is the importance of reason?
Moderation in all things…balance in
leading one’s life: reason is the instrument
to help individuals achieve balance and
moderation
14. Realists
Neo-Thomism…Aquinas affected a
synthesis of pagan ideas and Christian
beliefs…reason is the means of ascertaining
or understanding truth, God could be
understood through reasoning based on the
material world…no conflict between
science and religion
The world of faith with the world of reason,
contemporary Catholic schools
15. Modern Realism
From the Renaissance, Francis Bacon developed
induction, the scientific method…based on
Aristotle, developed a method starting with
observations, culminating in generalization, tested
in specific instances for the purpose of verification
John Locke and tabula rasa, things known from
experience… ordered sense data and then reflected
on them
16. Contemporary Realists
Tend to focus on philosophy and science…
Alfred North Whitehead, concerned with
the search for “universal patterns”
Bertrand Russell with Whitehead, Principia
Mathematica…universal patterns could be
verified and classified through mathematics
17. Goal of Education for Realists
Notions of the good life, truth, beauty could
be answered through the study of ideas,
using the dialectical method…for
contemporary realists, the goal of education
is to help individuals understand and apply
the principles of science to help solve the
problems plaguing the modern world
Teachers should be steeped in the basic
academic disciplines
18. Pragmatism
An American philosophy from the 19th
century…
Peirce, James, Dewey
“By their fruits, ye shall know them.” Pragmatism
encourages people to find processes that work in
order to achieve their desired ends…action
oriented, experientially grounded
Rousseau… “back to nature”, environment and
experience…Emile, little regard for the education
of women other than to be Emile’s companion
19. John Dewey
Intellectual heir to Charles Darwin, constant
interaction between organism and
environment, dynamic and developing
world…child centered progressivism and
social reconstructionism
Instrumentalism and experimentalism,
pragmatic relationship between school and
society and applying ideas of education on
an experimental basis
20. John Dewey’s Philosophy
Education starts with the needs and interests of the
child, allows the child to participate in planning
her course of study, employ project method or
group learning, depend heavily or experiential
learning
Children are active, organic beings…needing both
freedom and responsibility
Ideas are not separate from social conditions,
philosophy has a responsibility to society
21. Dewey’s Role for the Teacher
Not the authoritarian but the facilitator…
encourages, offers suggestions, questions
and helps plan and implement courses of
study…has command of several disciplines
Inquiry method, problem solving, integrated
curriculum
22. Existentialism and
Phenomenology
Kierkegaard, Buber, Jaspers, Sartre, Maxine
Greene…existentialists
Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty…
phenomenologists
How do one’s concerns affect the lives of
an individual…the phenomena of
consciousness, perception and meaning in
an individual’s experience
23. Existentialists and
Phenomenologists
Based on the earth alone, must make sense
of the chaos one encounters
“Existence precedes essence.” People must
create themselves and create their own
meaning…done through the choices people
make in their lives, in a state of constant
becoming…an individual can make a
difference in a seemingly absurd world
24. Existentialists
Education should focus on the needs of
individuals, include the nonrational as well
as rational, the notion of possibility
Teachers should understand their own
“lived world” and help students to
understand their world
The need to be “wide awake”…the role of
the teacher is intensely personal
25. Neo-Marxism
Radical critique of capitalism
The role of education should be to give
students the insight to demystify capitalism
and become agents of radical change
Marx believed the history of civilization
was defined by class struggle
General conflict theory…the teacher is a
“transformative intellectual”
