 Philosophy of Education This path-breaking work identifies the central purpose of schooling — and argues that today's educational establishment is failing miserably. This course is not just for teachers, but for anyone who wants to understand how to train a rational mind. 1. Purpose of Education The five leading theories and their results. Education as the systematic development of the conceptual faculty. 2-3. Teaching Thinking Methods How to develop motivation. How to integrate knowledge. The role of memory in learning. How to achieve a logical structure. The need for certainty. 4. A Proper Curriculum The three R's. Mathematics — science — history — literature: why and how they should be taught. Teaching the child values. 5. The Skill of Teaching Lecturing vs. the discussion method. Training teachers. Good teachers vs. the welfare state. Includes a taped interview with Dr.Peikoff titled "Objectivism — Questions and Answers." Order information |
