Education is full of philosophy all the time, and educational philosophy plays a role in our practice consciously or unconsciously. Learning and mastering educational philosophy can not only develop our thinking ability and form the habit of analyzing problems from multiple angles, but also bring us insight.
On the second day after attending the 10th seminar for excellent principals, Mr. Wan Heng strongly recommended the book "Philosophical Basis of Education", which was written by Oldsmen and translated by Shi Zhongying, and required us to study in accordance with the prescribed progress every week, and to supervise by pushing the learning experience in time through the short book APP. I feel a little pressure in my heart, and I thank the class teacher for his good intentions.
How do I want to read this book? First of all, define the goal and form a clear and complete concept map of educational concept. Try to understand the core elements and basic principles of philosophy in the book, the historical background of these philosophical factions, and their relationship with educational purposes, courses, methods and teachers' roles. Understand how they affect the theory and practice of education.
I have outlined the contents, introduction and ten chapters of this book, including idealism, realism, eastern philosophy, pragmatism, reformism, behaviorism, existentialism, analytical philosophy, Marxism, post-modernism and so on. In chronological order, there are typical clues that are easy to understand.
I think it must be emphasized that no matter what kind of philosophical theory has advantages and disadvantages, it has limitations in practice. We should study dialectically, proceed from reality and draw inferences from others.
