Education Philosophy

Neste artigo, o autor reflecte sobre a questão da justiça e dos direitos humanos, tendo presente as exigências da democracia deliberativa, na linha de Habermas e, sobretudo, as propostas de uma democracia comunicativa. Assim e num primeiro momento, o autor problematiza as relações entre democracia, justiça e direitos humanos, dando um particular realce quer às tendências individualistas e mercantilizadas de ver a democracia e os direitos quer às concepções deliberativa e comunicativa da democracia e suas implicações em termos de justiça e direitos humanos. A partir daqui, a reflexão inflecte para o campo da educação, como um outro lugar da justiça, debatendo a questão da justiça escolar e a concepção da escola como organização dialógica e comunicativa, realçando, em linguagem habermasiana, as funcionalidades sistémica e comunicativa que a perpassam. O autor completa esse enquadramento destacando, dentro da ideia de que a escola é um lugar de vários mundos e de justiças, as múltiplas...

RESUMEN: En este artículo se analiza la relación entre el sentido común y el conocimiento pedagógico. Para ello se parte de un análisis en torno al significado antropológico del sentido común y la aplicación de este análisis a las teorías sobre el pensamiento humano de Rorty y Maclntyre. El análisis de estos autores pretende demostrar la necesidad de mantener el pensamiento educativo dentro del sentido común y ajeno a una crítica radical en torno al sentido y valores de la comunidad.ABSTRACT: The paper analyses the relation between the common sense and the pedagogical knowledge. First the author revise the anthropological meaning of the common sense and then apply this revisión to study the theories of Rorty and Maclntyre about human thought. This application tries to demónstrate the necessity to maintain the educative thought within the common sense and save to the strong critical about the community virtues.

The field of education and teaching practice have gone through significant curricula, structural, taxonomic and pedagogical changes as well as policy reforms in recent years. Globally, educators and the Education Ministries keep updating and adapting instructional innovations to make teaching more effective, learning more inclusive and instructional strategies differentiated and more efficient. Technological advancements continue to dictate and drive these changes. Educators are being increasingly challenged to migrate and design contents and learning models to help digital native students engage with their learning in deep, and rich textual interactive ways. This perspective paper reviews the Hybrid and the Blended Instructional Methods, (H&BIM). It recommends strategies and migration objectives, from traditional instructional model to a more efficient, flexible and interactive learning models. Research have shown that blended learning models can, indeed, afford innovative and effective ways to enhance students success, and as well provide them needed control over their learnings.

The objective of this paper is to defend the non-reductive thesis of phenomenal consciousness. This paper will give an overview of the arguments for the non-reductive explanation of phenomenal consciousness and justify why the reductionist approach is implausible in the context of explaining phenomenal subjective experience. The debate between reductionist and non-reductionist on the project of Demystifying and Mystifying phenomenal consciousness is driven by two fundamental assumptions-1) Reductive-Naturalistic Objectivism, 2) Phenomenal Realism. There are several arguments for the irreducibility of phenomenal consciousness; this paper will focus on the inverted spectrum argument, knowledge argument, and the conceivability argument.

The first half of Plato’s Hippias Major exhibits the interfacing of the first teacher (Socrates) with the first version of a post-colonial, multi-cultural information technology system (Hippias).  In this interface the purposes, results, and values of two contradictory types of operating system for educational servicing units are exhibited to, and can be discovered by, anyone who is not an information technologist.

In light of numerous critiques of developmentalism, this article examines whether developmentalism has been a dangerous way to think about human life. It traces the emergence of different kinds of developmental discourse, locates the discursive preconditions for developmentalism's dominance in education, and examines the conjuncture between developmentalism and progressivism in shaping the limits of education's discursive field since the late 19th century. The article examines some of the productive and repressive legacies of developmental reasoning and concludes by examining present efforts to destabilize and fracture developmental discourse. It suggests that the historical articulation of developmentalism to an idea of progress has not been undermined through present-day critiques that still implicitly project "progress" as the grounds for efforts to destabilize "development. "Alternatives to developmental discourse are considered in relation to how jud...

The characteristic themes and approaches of philosophical reflection about education in these societies are explored with reference to three periods: the pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet periods.

El siglo XX ha terminado con algunas senales esperanzadoras en el contexto nacional e internacional de la Filosofia de la Educacion. Desde hace algun tiempo se ha producido una acertada extension en la educacion de una "filosofia practica". No hay casi disciplina del ambito de la educacion que no reclame para si el calificativo de "praxiologia". Este articulo trata de precisar las diferencias entre este enfoque practico y el que trata de mantener la Filosofia de la Educacion. Se senalan tambien algunos errores y olvidos actuales: el caracter etico del saber practico, la necesidad del compromiso personal del educador y la importancia del conocimiento teorico sobre las finalidades del desarrollo humanizador. El articulo propone entender la Filosofia de la educacion como una teoria etica de la formacion humana.

This paper examines the grammatical errors in the written productions of senior secondary school students in/from Lycée Amadou Kouran Daga (henceforth LAKD), Zinder, Niger. It specifically seeks to describe, identify and classify the grammatical errors with a view to finding out the reasons of their occurrence in the students' writings. The participants of the present study consist of 30 students (14 male and 16 female students) learning English as a foreign language. The data for the investigation were collected by means of an essay writing which required the participants to write a threeparagraph essay on one of the four narrative and descriptive topics provided. The collected data were then analyzed using Error Analysis and the simple descriptive statistics consisting of frequencies and percentages. The analysis revealed a total of 410 grammatical errors in the participants' writing samples ranked by order of frequency and categories as follows: errors on tenses, spelling...

Ethical issues concerning pain and suffering of animals are necessarily a consideration when it comes to killing “pest” or “feral” species in Australia. Within a continent where there are no large predators, many introduced animal species such as rabbits, foxes, horses, donkeys, camels, goats, and mice have been able to thrive, competing with the interests of farmers and graziers, and livestock and food production. These species, thus, gain the label of “pest.” Many methods now exist to kill these species and, consequently, ethical issues arise concerning the possible pain and suffering caused as a direct result of these methods. Yet within government and scientific communities, ethical issues are reduced to a secondary consideration without serious debate or contention. Ethical issues appear to be at odds with scientific agendas. How can environmental ethics be incorporated as part of science-based decision making that appeals to objectivity and scientific evidence? Within educational institutions as well, the same dilemma exists: How can ethical issues be addressed within the science curriculum and in the classroom? A greater understanding of various perspectives on the subject of environmental ethics and the value positions advocated by proponents of these perspectives may help teachers consider ways of handling such issues in the science classroom. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

This paper aims to analyze whether conditional release for prisoners during the Covid-19 pandemic is considered effective so that prisoners do not repeat crimes. This type of research is normative by using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The data used is secondary data obtained through library research. All data collected were then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that parole for prisoners during the Covid-19 pandemic was ineffective. This is because some prisoners who received assimilation and integration rights (parole, pre-release leave, conditional leave) have repeated their actions or committed crimes and have to undergo legal processes. The ineffectiveness of parole during the corona pandemic was influenced by several factors, including the assessment before release by careless officers, as well as weak supervision for prisoners undergoing assimilation and integration rights by the government.
