Chapter 7 / Philosophy of Education

The presentation about Chapter 7 was about the Philosophy of Education.

First,  the group shared the definition of philosophy and theory.  Then, the group handed out a survey which everyone took which would help us determine which educational philosophy each of us fell under.

The philosophies are:  Perennial, Essential, Progressive and Social Reconstruction.

I fell under Social Reconstruction. The results didn't surprise me too much because my undergrad degree consisted of many social work classes and a lot of the beliefs of someone who would believe in social reconstruction would be a social worker.  I think once I dig deeper into the philosophy I fall under that it will make more sense to me in an educational sense. I look forward to finding out more and how my philosophy can help shape me as a future educator.
