    Chapter I- Philosophy of Education

    Unit 5-
    PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE IN EDUCATION
    Prepared By: Misty Jean P. Loayon

    *Five Main Theories of Education


    1. Perennialism
    2. Essentialism
    3. Progressivism
    4. Reconstructionism
    5. Critical Theory

    Perrenialism
    - The perrenialists also favor a subject matter-based curriculum where the students are
    incrementally taught the skills and inculcated with the disposition to appreciate the classics.
    - Class schedule, list of competencies to master, uniform class requirement is an
    educational philosophy of perrenials
    - Education should cultivate intellect as well as harmonious development of all human
    nature is rational knowledge that resides is an unchanging and universal truth.
    - Emphasis of the HUMANITIES is reflection of this philosophy.
    - "Specialization is KNOWING MORE AND MORE BUT LESS AND LESS, so it's
    better to be a GENERALIST"

    Essentialism (innate existence as human)


    - Teacher teach for learners to acquire basic knowledge, skills and values
    - Learning requires disciplined action and attention, regular homework and respect for
    legitimate authority.
    - It is back to basic approach (3 R'S-RBEC)
    - The teacher is the sole authority of the subject area or field of specialization.
    - Emphasis on necessary core subjects of GENERAL EDUCATION: Liberal Arts and
    Sciences

    Progressivism
    - The progressive teacher is a facilitator and guide tp help the student on their problem-
    solving.
    - Child-centered curriculum concerned with the problem-solving strategies that would
    enable students to cope with change.
    - Basis of cooperative learning, non-graded instruction, self-pace learning. Regard
    teacher as FACILITATOR OF LEARNING.
    - Successful teaching uses principle of self-activity and stimulates thinking and
    reasoning.
    - Sometimes it may be better to make wrong decisions when it is urgent than to make
    right decision which is very late.

    Reconstructionism
    - The world and everything in it is ever changing, so the teacher teaches youth to
    cope with the change ( Existentialism and Pragmatism)
    - Helps improve and reconstruct society
    - Must teach the child every knowledge, skill amd value that he/she needs for better
    future.
    - If billiard takes students away from the classro, then bring billiard in the
    classroom.

    Critical Theory
    -A good teacher, for the critical theorists, is the one who does not reinforce the
    traditional way of teaching and learning from a prescribed curriculum. Instead, he/she selects
    the teaching materials and corresponding pedagogy and activities with the students'life stories
    as the starting point.
