Perennialism and Essentialism
- Perennialism is an educational philosophy that believes education should focus on ideas and concepts that have remained important and relevant over long periods of time, as found in great works of thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas.
- It holds that there are universal truths about humanity, ethics, and society that form the core of what students should learn.
- Essentialism emerged in response to perceived relaxation of academic standards. It emphasizes mastery of basic skills and subjects like reading, writing, math, science, and history that provide foundational knowledge needed for students to participate in society.
- Both philosophies believe in a traditional, knowledge-centered approach where the teacher's role is

The curriculum focuses on humanities and allows students choice in their schedules, classes, and extracurricular activities. Overall, the school aims to cultivate self-sufficient, self-reliant students by giving them control over their learning environment.
Pragmatism

- As a basis for education, pragmatism opposes predetermined curriculums and objectives. Values are seen as instrumental and evolving rather than fixed.

My philosophy of education
William Peters' philosophy of education is shaped by Bloom, Gardner, and Dewey. He believes all students can learn through critical thinking and reflection.

His philosophy will guide him to help students explore themselves as learners and future teachers.
Idealism report

It also emphasizes aims like personal and social adjustment and reconstruction of experience through providing social settings.
Reconstructionism and Education

Pragmatism (experimentalism)
This document discusses the educational philosophy of pragmatism. It emerged in response to scientists like Darwin and philosophers like Pierce who promoted critical thinking over religious dogma. Pragmatism sees knowledge as constantly changing and reality as a process. As a result, pragmatic learning environments and methods focus on adapting to students' changing needs through problem-solving approaches that transfer to other areas. Pragmatists emphasize exploring issues over providing explanations, teaching students how to think rather than what to think. This led pragmatism to replace common teaching methods with a greater focus on asking questions like "why" and "what if" instead of simply stating facts.
Realism
This document discusses the philosophy of realism in education. It defines realism as portraying life as it is and focusing on the real world. It describes different forms of realism including humanistic realism, social realism, and sense realism. It discusses how realism influences the aims, curriculum, teachers, and view of children in education by emphasizing practical knowledge, vocational subjects, and preparing students for real life. However, it also notes disadvantages like neglecting imagination and over-focusing on the physical world.
Realism and-its-role-in-education-2203
This document provides an overview of realism and its role in education. It discusses classical realists like Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, modern realists such as Francis Bacon and John Locke, and contemporary realists including Alfred Whitehead, Bertrand Russell, Hilary Putnam, and John Searle. The aims of realism in education are to understand the material world through inquiry and science. Realists support formal teaching methods, accountability, and a practical curriculum. The teacher's role is to teach students essential knowledge in an organized way.
Educational Philosophy & Theory2
The document discusses several educational philosophers and philosophies. It describes John Dewey as an American philosopher who believed in democracy and reconstruction of schools and society. It outlines Paulo Freire's support for problem-posing education where students participate, the importance of tolerance and literacy.

Realism and education. zs pptx
Realism is a philosophy that believes reality exists objectively and independently of the mind. Realists such as Aristotle believe we can know reality through our senses and reason. Realism influenced education by advocating for a curriculum of organized academic subjects to best represent reality. Realist educators emphasize direct teaching methods and believe education should prepare students for the practical realities of life. The role of the teacher is to be a subject matter expert who presents information in a logical way to students.
Plato and the sausage machine
Plato believed education should be a virtuous pursuit of knowledge and truth, not simply a process of turning students into productive workers. This view contrasts with the "sausage machine" model of education, which Gramsci and films like The Matrix critique as creating an artificial reality to control society. Modern reports also find issues with the sausage machine approach and promoting only vocational skills. Plato saw the purpose of education as helping students attain wisdom and truth through thoughtful discussion.
Idealism
Idealism is a philosophical approach that views ideas as the only true reality. It focuses on conscious reasoning and pursuing universal truths, justice, and beauty. Plato was an early proponent of idealism, believing that there is a perfect spiritual world of ideas and an imperfect sensory world. In education, idealism aims to develop each student's abilities and character through subjects that cultivate the mind, like literature and philosophy. Teaching methods emphasize discussion and questioning to help students discover knowledge latent within their own minds.

Major figures in the development of idealism include Plato, Augustine, Berkeley, Kant, and Hegel. As a philosophy of education, idealism aims for the search of truth, self-realization, and character development. It utilizes methods like dialectic, intuitive approaches, and great books. The role of the teacher is to encourage thinking, exemplify noble rationality, and help students explore ideas to improve their thinking.

It believes that all knowledge begins with experience and that the material world is a construction of the mind. Key figures in idealism include Plato, Augustine, Kant, Berkeley, and Hegel. Idealism influenced education through a focus on discovering truth, self-realization, and character development using methods like dialectic, intuition, and great books. Teachers play a central role in helping students think and explore ideas. While idealism promotes high-level thinking, some critique it for being too cognitive.

Idealism views the aims of education as seeking truth and self-realization. It emphasizes developing character and thinking through dialectic discussion, intuitive approaches, and focusing on ideas rather than facts.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
