EDAD 251-PHILOSOPHY OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

1. Why might the study of philosophy be particularly important to education?

Teachers are mentors and play an active role inculcating independent thinking in
students. As teacher we must have a teaching philosophy. Learners always look up to
their teacher and therefore, it becomes necessary for you to have thoughts to inspire them.

Specific reasons why you should study Philosophy of Education

1. Helps to translate the path of Teaching Philosophy has been defined as a

Learning
2. Affects the society
3. To be in their shoes
4. To avoid being judgmental
5. To teach the concept of unification
6. The Verdict
map, which provides directions to move
ahead.
Teachers are termed as the future makers
of the community. They can leave
profound impact on students and help them
make independent decisions in the future.
By learning philosophy, a teacher would
be able to view and analyze from the
perspective of their students, and would
also be able to know how students perceive
their actions.
Also teaches a teacher the personality of
each student. As educators, we are required
to teach creativity, autonomy, and curiosity
to all students without compromising their
intellectual level.
Philosophy also teaches about unifying
each pupil and the teacher as one body to
ensure harmony, through this, teachers can
understand how to deal with students and
unite them as one.
Through philosophy, you can ensure that
your student not only retains his academic
knowledge from all his completed grades
but also develop a sense of humane values
and ethics

2. Which branches of Philosophy would you want to emphasize in classroom. Why?

Metaphysics – study of what is real
Epistemology- study of knowledge
Axiology- study of nature of value and valuation
Maybe I choose all of the three branches of philosophy such as Metaphysics,
Epistemology and Axiology because according to what I have read, these three branches
of philosophy cater all the positive aspects of reality that each individual must lean and
must possess. I want to emphasize Metaphysics in my classroom in order for the students
to learn the nature of everything around them that is present in the reality and how they
exist and what are their benefits for the humanity and for them to develop their higher
order thinking skills. I will also want to emphasize Epistemology in my classroom
because I want my learners to know how they will learn something that they want to
learn. What are those things to consider in learning something; I want them to know what
knowledge is all about for them to discriminate the two situations; are they really
acquiring knowledge? Or just gathering data or information? I also emphasize Axiology
in my classroom because I want my learners to know how to give value everything that
God has made for us.
