What is the influence of Educational Philosophies in Education and how it affects the
Education (Positive/Negative)? Explain.

Philosophy is concerned with the pursuit of goals and objectives.Education offers the
means to accomplish those aims of a good life, while education provides the means to
reach those goals of a good life.Life is good. In this sense, educational philosophy is unique
yet not distinct.discipline. Its substance is based on education, and its techniques are based

on philosophy.The process of philosophizing about education necessitates knowledge about

educationas well as its issues As a result, we may conclude that educational philosophy is
the application of knowledge.application of philosophical ideas to educational issues. It's
not only a way of looking at things ideas, but also how to put them to the greatest possible
use. As a result, it may be stated that education is the practice, whereas philosophy is the
theory. Practice that isn't influenced by theory is aimless, inconsistent, and inefficient,
much like theory, which is eventually ineffective.It's pointless and difficult to translate into
practice. Ross puts it thus way: "theorizing education is the active side, while mindfulness
is the reflective side."

1. Essay. Discuss the relationship of Educational Philosophies to

one another.
Philosophy has been taught in a theoretical rather than a practical sense,"
which means that the ideas were presented to the instructors without any
scaffolding to help them bridge the gap into the classroom. Idealism — focuses on a
subject-matter curriculum that emphasizes the culture's great concepts. Realism — A
subject-matter curriculum emphasizing objective knowledge and ideals, you must
analyze concepts to make them entire. Reality is objective, which means that no
matter what you do or how you think about concepts, you should get the same
outcomes,Existentialism - Classroom conversation increases awareness – each
individual develops an awareness as a result of the debate and inspires deep
personal reflection on his or her beliefs, Pragmatism emphasizes the need to act on
notions by testing them. Instruction is arranged around problem-solving following
the phases of the scientific process.
Perennialism — Focuses on long-standing human issues exposed through 'great
works,Progressivism — Problem-solving and group activities are emphasized in the
classroom, and the instructor serves as a facilitator rather than a leader.
Humanism- Another student-centered ideology, this educational system is built on
the premise that pupils should be given options in their learning. The student is
actively involved in all parts of her education and collaborates with her instructor
and peers to build a curriculum and assessment system that caters to her unique
interests and talents. Education is the implementation of philosophy's essential
truths. Ideals, values, and principles are provided by philosophy. These beliefs,
values, and principles are developed via education. Education without philosophy is
akin to a traveller who
knows the name of the destination but has no idea how to get there.

Research other Educational Philosophies.

Reconstructionism/Critical Theory Social reconstructionism is a philosophy that

emphasizes the addressing of social questions and a quest to create a better society and
worldwide democracy. Reconstructionist educators focus on a curriculum that highlights
social reform as the aim of education.
Eclecticism is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or
set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple theories, styles, or ideas to gain
complementary insights into a subject, or applies different theories in particular cases.
