Explanation:
Passage-
"Philosophy of education" refers to the study of education's purpose, process, nature, and ideals. " It falls under the umbrella of both philosophy and education. Teaching and learning specific skills, along with imparting knowledge, judgment, and wisdom can be defined as education. It encompasses more than the societal institution of education that we commonly refer to.
It is viewed by many educators as a weak and hazy field that has no real-world applications. Philosophers from Plato and the Greeks onward have spent a great deal of time and effort on this topic, and their work has had a significant impact on educational practice over the millennia.
To understand "The Republic," it is necessary to understand Plato's educational philosophy (his most important work on philosophy and political theory, written around 360 B.C.). Advocating extreme measures, such as taking children away from their mothers and raising them in the custody of the state or categorizing children according to caste so that they can serve as city guardians and care for those who are less able, is a common theme in the book he wrote. He was a firm believer in the inclusion of subjects such as math, science, physical education, and the arts in the curriculum. Despite the fact that Plato's proposed system of selective public education for an educated minority of the population does not adhere to a democratic model, he believed that talent and intelligence are not genetically distributed and can be found in children of all classes.
Human nature, habit, and reason are all equally important forces to cultivate in education, with the ultimate goal of producing good and virtuous citizens. Socrates believed in questioning people to elicit their own ideas, but he believed that teachers should take a more systematic approach and use repetition as a powerful tool to help students develop good habits. Reading, writing, mathematics, music, physical education, literature, history, and a wide range of sciences, as well as play, were emphasized by him as subjects that needed to be balanced between theoretical and practical aspects.
During the Medieval period, St. Thomas Aquinas developed the idea of Perennialism in his work "De Magistro." Perennialism holds that principles and reasoning, rather than facts (which can change over time), should be taught in schools, and that students should learn about people before machines or techniques. It was originally a religious belief, and it wasn't until much later that a secular theory of perennial was born.
French sceptic Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592) was one of the first to critically examine education during the Renaissance. When it came to education and the assumption that university-educated philosophers were necessarily wiser than their non-university-educated counterparts, Montaigne was unusually open-minded for his time.
Questions
1. How does Aristotle's approach differ from that of Socrates'?
2. What is meant by the term "Perennial"?
3. What does Plato think about democratic education?
