Kristjansson, K. (2014). There is something about Aristotle: the pros and cons of
Aristotelianism in contemporary moral education. Journal of Philosophy of Education, 48(1), 48-68.
This study focuses on how character education is of critical importance in todays education because it serves as the foundation for all learning. If the students character is not being informed, then the overall aim of education is going to be lost or easily twisted into something negative. The study shows that the philosophy of Aristotle and the teachings of the moral lessons of the classical thinkers can benefit students and help teachers to practice solid character education. This information can be used by educators in their professional practice because it shows how to help focus on character education to boos student confidence and performance in the long run.
Lynch, M. (2014). The true costs of social promotion and retention. International
Journal of Progressive Education, 10(3), 6-17.
This study focuses on how social promotionthe practice of passing along students just so they can stay among their own peer age group through their academic career even though they have not earned the scores that would justify their moving to the next levelis one that is bad for students and for teachers. The study also examines the effects of retaining students and shows that there needs to be a balanced approach to helping struggling students because social promotion is not the answer and retention can be damaging if not handled correctly. This information can be used by educators in their professional practice because it shows how teachers can respond effectively to students who are struggling or at risk of failing.
Stetson, R., Stetson, E., Sinclair, B. & Nix, K. (2012). Home visits: Teacher reflections
about relationships, student behavior, and achievement. Issues in Teacher Education, 21(1), 21-37.
This study examines...…students have lives that extend outside the school. In order to truly be effective, teachers must be willing to bridge those two worlds, travel outside the school and show their appreciation of the families who send their students there.
In this sense, I view a teacher as like a nurse or care giver who makes home visits. The teacher is a moral guide, a character educator, and a friend who is not going to judge anyone and is going to help inspire the student to make the right choices and perform to the best of his or her ability. This is the aim of the teacher, as far as I see it today. Based on the experiences I have had in this course and the work I have done, I feel that this perception of mine is correct and I look forward to implementing it in the future in my…
Educational Philosophy More than ever, teachers have myriad of decisions to make in their classrooms. Naturally, they have to determine curricula, how to rate the students on their work and the specific grades to give to each pupil. However, a teacher's responsibility goes far beyond this. They must decide what other skills would be helpful, or even essential, to live in this fast-paced global environment. Beyond the academics, students need education
Mathematics has its own internal logic and creates and obeys its own 'rules,' just as a beautiful picture obeys the rules of proportion (or deliberately violate but acknowledges the rules of form as seen in the artwork of Picasso). Great art or important science holds true to the logical rules of a discipline. What is good in art and science holds true to valid principles of a correspondence to
In many learning situations, however, there is no ultimate truth upon which the teacher can call to instruct her students. Instead, many topics are still controversial, even as they are a part of history. In this case, teachers must acknowledge this fact as true, leading to a valuable lesson for students who may assume that textbooks and authority figures are always right. In some cases, however, the teacher must
Here the emphasis is on complete neutrality, the child being exposed to all different ways of thinking and believing (Cahn, p. 421). In the end the child will make his own choice as to what is best. Such complete freedom; however, rests upon a notion that children might indeed make incorrect choices; ones that are base don incomplete knowledge of the real world. The need to make rational choice
Educational Philosophy Comparison: John Dewey vs. William Bagley There have always been philosophical battles between progressive thinkers and conservative thinkers when it comes to the education of America's children. Those wars were waged in the 18th, 19th, and 20th Centuries, and educators from both sides, and some in the middle or the far left or far right, are still involved in the same philosophical scrimmages today. It's healthy though, to look
