EDUCATION IN ANCIENT GREECE The Greeks were the first people in Europe to develop civilization; but it was from the Minoans, Egyptians and the Phoenician traders that the Greeks learned how to write, to use metals, to trade, and to build and sail ships. There are two contrasting types of education in Greece: 1. 2. Spartan Education Athenian Education

SPARTAN EDUCATION It is controlled by the state and exercised the right to expose sickly babies on the mountainside to die A seven boys and girls were gathered in the barracks for physical training Memorizing the laws of Lycurgus the Spartan lawgiver and the epics of Homer, Iliad and the Odyssey At 18, definite training in the use of arms and warfare began At 20-30, service in the army and guarding the borders of the state were required Physical training for the girls were also rigorous to bear healthy children at 20 Agoge state training

Arete a virtue or excellence, moral goodness, one which makes a thing a hero, the best, the most effective of its kind. Paidonomus a barracks commander The Spartan education system ensured that the citizens were reared in such a way that they neither would , nor could live by themselves one with the public good. This involved a long process of conditioning, beginning at birth where deemed much less the children of their parents than the wards of the state. ATHENIAN EDUCATION The first state in the worlds history where human capacities were allowed to develop freely They believed that the greatest work of art was the human form Man should be molded in the ideals of the arte or chivalrous honor School attendance was voluntary At seven, boys can be sent to the palaestra for physical training Introduced Holistic education the development of perfect citizens, knowing both how to rule and to be ruled on the basis of justice (Plato & Aristotle) They approached their problem in a scientific way, by examining principles governing human life , asking what a man was, body, mind and spirit. Education is the making of man, not training men to make things (technicism). Teaching someone the skills of using a computer or a mobile phone is not education, it is not a true culture of the whole person. To Plato and Aristotle, useful, no doubt necessary, but not education. Palaestrae public gymnasiums Didaskaleon music school Paidogogus once a slave but very learned and was in-charge with teaching the boys with the intricacies of manner and morals Heterae cultured women who participated in social life and intellectual discussions of the upper class males Kitharist music teacher Grammalist grammar teacher Paedotribe gymnastics teacher Great Athenian philosophers: A.

PHILOSOPHIES OF EDUCATION

a. NATURALISM Considered to be the oldest philosophy in the Western world. The early Greek thinkers were naturalists. Some of them were Thales, Democritus, Epicurus and Lucritus. The contemporary naturalists are: 1. THOMAS HOBBES

According to him, the native condition of man is a war of everyone against everyone. He is continually in competition with others, grasping for honor and dignity. Man should be kept busy from which he must struggle for something better, because he is troublesome if he is not at ease. His hunger for power is unquenchable and only ceases at death. 2. JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU

He views that everything is good as it comes from the hands of nature but everything degenerates in the hands of man. He established three (3) great principles of learning: 1) The principle of growth the order of nature is need, activity, experience and knowledge. The teachers role is not to impel learning but merely to guide it in such a way that it follows the natural order. 2) The principle of student activity- Nothing must be done for the student that he can do for himself. 3) The principle of individualization The needs and interests of the student must be placed above those of the society. 3. HERBERT SPENCER He believed in an Absolute Being, the foundation of all phenomena which man can observe. It is conceivable yet unknowable. It is the continuing force or power in the world of nature. Defined education as complete living. b. REALISM

The philosophical doctrine that universals have a real objective existence. It is based on what is real as they are; something that exists independently of all other things and from which all others are derived. Some realist thinkers: a. ST. THOMAS AQUINAS- According to him, matter

which is the material substance out of which the world was made, did not co-exist with God before the creation of the universe. b. JOHN AMOS COMENIUS The mind of man is like a spherical, mirror suspended in a room which reflects images of all things that are around it. Father of Modern Education. c. RENE DESCARTES- Believes that the physical world is real and his senses are not deceived.

d. God.

BARUCH SPINOZA- Believes that there is only one substance and this is his being identical with

e. JOHN LOCKE- Believes that there are no innate ideas in the mind. At birth, it is just similar to a blank sheet of paper (tabula rasa) upon which the world writes its impressions. f. IMMANUEL KANT- Our sensory experience and perceptions are representations of the external world and not direct representations of it. Our experience of the world is private. c. IDEALISM

Reality is composed of thought related to mind and idea, and that matter is just an appearance. Reality is spirit. Act of knowing takes place in the mind. Contemporary Idealist: GEORGE BERKELEY Considered as the founder of modern idealism. Believes that the fundamental element of the world is not matter but spirit or mind. d. PRAGMATISM OR EXPERIMENTALISM

A philosophical movement stressing practical consequences as constituting the essential criterion in determining meaning, truth or values. This was primarily an American philosophical movement formulated by CHARLES SANDERS PEIRCE. WILLIAM JAMES For him, the test of a theory, doctrine or belief must be its results. The only reason that we have for asserting that anything is true is whether it works. e. INSTRUMENTALISM

According to JOHN DEWEY, what constitutes our brute or animalistic experience is the interaction between a biological organism and its environment. Experience is not an object known, but rather, an action performed. He proposed that the educational system should try to develop methods for problem solving. If the student learned how to solve problems, presumably he would be better fit for living in our ever-changing world with its manifold perplexities. For him knowledge is not an end but an instrument an individual can utilize to attain his desired goal. It emphasizes the importance of experience, experimentation, and learning by doing which brought tremendous influence on the learner. f. EXISTENTIALISM

A modern movement encompassing the doctrine that individual existence determines essence, that man has no absolute freedom of choice but there are no rational criteria serving as a basis for choice. Two prominent exponents of existentialism:

1. SOREN KIERKEGAARD-For him, man is a subjective thinker and comprehends himself not as an abstraction but as an ethically engaged existing subject. An authentic choice is fundamentally a product of passion and zealous intention. 2. FRIEDRICH NIETZSHE- He sees that the nature of man makes him vulnerable to deficiencies which have to be corrected to produce a superior race. He said that traditional morality is the reason of an inferior race of man. Nature is beyond good and evil; all men are unequal; morality is an invention of the weak to limit and deter the strong; that power is the supreme virtue and the supreme desire of man; and that of all forms of government, the wisest and most natural is aristocracy.

1. JEAN PAUL SARTRE- According to him, in anxiety, man becomes aware of his freedom, knows himself and is responsible for his own actions and commitment. He believes that there is no creator of man. Man determines his essence. Man first is, then he defines himself. 2. KARL JASPERS- For him existence is always in a situation. It is mans reactions to inescapable situations (death, suffering, guilt, struggles) that our potential existence becomes actual. 3. MARTIN HEIDEGGER- Man is a being-in-a- world by participation and involvement. His world is a world which he shares with others. Human existence itself is essentially togetherness. There are three (3) fundamental features of man. They are factuality (He is already involved in the world); Existentiality (He is a project and a possibility); and fallenness or forfeiture ( He has the tendency to become a mere presence in the world; failing to make the most of his possibilities because of gossip, curiosity and ambiguity) g. PERENNIALISM Implies or views truth as constant or perennial. Reality is a world of reason. Schools exist primarily to reveal reason by teaching eternal truths. Goodness is to be found in rationality itself. The teacher interprets and tells, the students receive the information. The role of education is to ensure that students acquire knowledge of these unchanging principles or great ideas. Perennialist Educational Philosophers ROBERT MAYNARD HUTCHINS Assumptions: 1. 2. 3. 4. Education must promote humankinds continuing search for truth. Education of human rationality is the essential function of education Education should train students to think thoughtfully about significant ideas. The best education for the best is the best education for all.

MORTIMER ADLER To develop students to become independent and critical thinkers, the focus of education must be on enduring disciplines of knowledge rather than on current events or students interest. (Padeia Proposal, 1982) g. ESSENTIALISM There are certain essentials that all men need to know such as essential skills : the 3 Rs and essential subjects: English, History, Math, Science and Foreign Language. Individuals should be able to distinguish between the essentials and non-essentials in ones existence. William C. Bagley-There are common knowledge and aspects of culture that the school is obligated to transmit to students in a systematic and disciplined way. Upholds the back-to-basics movement FIELDS OF PHILOSOPHY AND ITS AREA OF INQUIRY METAPHYSICS- Studies the nature of reality and being EPISTEMOLOGY-Inquires about the nature, presuppositions, and scope of knowledge LOGIC- Studies correct thinking or rules of inference to arguments ETHICS- Inquires into morally right conduct and morally good life AESTHETICS- Analyzes standards and values in art and aesthetic experience AXIOLOGY- Studies the nature, status and types of values EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER Why study Educational Philosophy? It provides a means of systematic inquiry by which teachers can examine their values, knowledge, and actions and subsequently make decisions that lead to the accomplishment of classroom, school and societal goals. New Standards for Teacher Education (NCBTS,1987) What is good teaching? What are the seven domains? 1. Social regard for learning.

2. Learning environment. 3. Diversity of teachers. 4. Curriculum. 5. Planning, assessing, and reporting. 6. Community linkages 7. Personal growth and development. Important dimensions of good teaching: 1. 2. 3. Nature/Quality. Frequency, consistency and appropriateness. Self- awareness.

Essential Tools of a Teacher Knowledge. About people and social organizations, cultures, epistemology, specific disciplines, human growth and development, communication and language, scientific inquiry, and research on effective learning and teaching. Skills. Assessment, planning, instruction, evaluation, social behavior management, and role modeling. Dispositions. Toward self, toward the learner, toward teaching, and toward the profession. CONNECTING PHILOSOPHY TO THEORY AND PRACTICE The Early Period (5th Century - 4th Century B.C.) Philosophers and their philosophy: a. Plato Ideas are perfect paradigms and

universal. b. Aristotle- Explained organisms in terms of their

contributions to society or to the ideal state. This is known as teleological explanation. c. Socrates- Knowledge is virtue and all virtuous actions are based on knowledge.

Present-Day Proponents of Perennialism and Essentialism 1. Mortimer Adler-(1902-2001) Known for his proposal for an educational system that would fulfill the democratic promise of equal educational opportunities for all. (The Paideia Proposal) 2. Arthur Bestor-(1908-1994) For him, genuine education is intellectual education, and this is the only education that has worth. He stressed that the function of education is to provide sound training in the fundamental ways of thinking.

3. E.D. Hirsch, Jr.-(1928- ) He is best known for his bookCultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know and another one entitled, The Schools We Need. He advocated that being culturally literate means understanding the necessary information (shared symbols) to communicate in the national community. 4. Robert M. Hutchins- He averred that education should be based on the classical disciplines of grammar, rhetoric, logic, mathematics, natural science, philosophy and ideas from the Modern World. He said that we should not allow students to think that the purpose of education is simply to get better jobs. 5. Theodore Sizer-He stressed the concept of less is more when applied to the curricular scope of schools. It means more is to be gained by committing the school and its resources to the task of cultivating the intellect through academic disciplines. Implication of the Perennialist/Essentialist Philosophy to Schools 1. 2. Belief in the need for a common course of study. A minimum of 12 years of study in the fundamental discipline

3. Development of the habit of self-discipline, thoughtfulness leading to ethical behavior, and the recognition of the need for lifelong learning. 4. Highly structured schools with universal standards for all, performance objectives and evaluation methods that are clear to all. 5. A recognition that a common course of studies for all students is necessary to fulfill the promise of citizenship in a democracy. 6. Toughening of standards for entrance to and completion of the teacher education program in order to prepare highly qualified teachers who possess the knowledge and skills to teach-and inspire students.

strict order and discipline The Dawning of the Child-centered Curriculum Developmentalism-refers to the belief that teaching based on the developmental stages of the child is the most effective teaching practice. It is also called developmentally appropriate practice and constructivism. The Advocates of this philosophy were: 1. Jean Jacques Rousseau 2.Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi 3.Friedrich Froebel WHAT THIS MEANS FOR SCHOOLS? Children are diverse in their abilities, and new information should be introduced only when the child is ready for it. A prepared environment is conducive to learning. Play is an integral factor in learning and uninterrupted time should be allotted to it. Curriculum and instruction should match the childs needs and interests. Schools provide society with an opportunity to better the world and the human condition. The Advent of Rationalism and Empiricism Empiricism- stresses the search for knowledge through use of the five senses and through observation and experimentation. (Bacon and Locke) Rationalism emphasizes the importance of reason as secondary to sensory experience, feelings, or authority.

Emphasis on sensory experience The Contemporary Period Existentialism-Philosophical and literary movement stemming from Kierkegaard and represented by Sartre, Camus, and others; based on the the doctrine that existence takes precedence over essence and that human beings are totally free and responsible for their actions, and that this responsibility is the source of the dread and anguish that are part of being human. Instrumentalism-The pragmatic doctrine that ideas are plans for actions serving as instruments for adjustment to the environment, and that their validity is tested by their effectiveness. Pragmatism-Philosophical doctrine that denies the possibility of obtaining absolute truth; truth or validity is determined by consequences. Utilitarianism-Philosophy brought into full bloom by the 18th and 19th century English philosopher Jeremy Bentham, affirms that the rightness of actions is determined by whether or not they bring the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

Sociology in Education processes and the explanation for such relationships which contributes to the analysis and eventual solutions to problems confronting the educational system. Socio-Anthropological Implications to Education 1.Schools need to provide students with a curriculum that gives them insight into social traditions, customs, institution for the perpetuation of the long established social order. 2. Schools and the community must teach the young the concepts of social order and social control for the survival of the society. 3. Schools must have activities that reinforce role and status, expectations and values to promote harmonious relationship. 4. Schools are a necessity and government should see to it that they function and work towards improving the educational system and the people involved in the system 5. The government and TEIs should enforce policies on admission, selection, and retention of teacher candidates. 6. The government should regularly review the curriculum of basic education and higher learning institutions to make certain that the educational and societal goals are achieved.
