EDUC 2111 - CONTEMPORARY PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
EXAMINES HOW PHILOSOPHIES OF EDUCATION CAN CONTRIBUTE TO ONE'S VISION OF EDUCATIVE EXPERIENCE. CENTRAL EDUCATIONAL CONCEPTS (E.G. KNOWING, LEARNING, THINKING, VALUING, AND GROWTH) ARE ANALYZED IN ALTERNATIVE WAYS. THINKING PHILOSOPHICALLY ENTAILS DIFFERENT ANALYTIC APPROACHES. THREE WILL BE USED IN THIS COURSE: LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS, PRAGMATIC/INSTRUMENTAL, AND PHENOMENOLOGICAL. IN ADDITION, PREVAILING THEORIES OF LEARNING ARE ANALYZED TO DETERMINE THEIR INFLUENCE IN SHAPING ONE'S EDUCATIONAL VISION.
