Details
Philosophy of Education course aims to develop the abilities to examine, seek rational justifications and critique principles guiding educational practice. The course equips students to employ philosophical tools such as conceptual analysis, rational justification, argument-building and critique, in order to examine foundational issues that arise from educational discourse and practice; and arrive at reasonable responses. The issues cover thematic areas such as aims of education, curriculum, pedagogy, notions of school, nature of knowledge, nature of moral and political values in a democratic society, teaching, learning and teacher, and place of education in the life of society and individual.
