My project aimed to investigate whether the theories of education in philosophy could still be found in our current education system. I chose to specifically look at the subject of Religious Studies at GCSE level as I believed it had the closest link philosophy. I also wanted to incorporate my beliefs that the current education system needs to become just as focused on making moral human beings as it is intellectual ones. I sourced my information from books, real lessons from real teachers and some articles.
\nAristotle believes:
\n– Education should help to create good citizens.
\n– Education should be the bridge between family life into society.
\n– Virtue is the highest form of knowledge and relies on drama to be taught.
\nJohn Dewey believes:
\n– Education should enable us to continue to grow for the rest of our lives\/there is no end to our education.
\n– Best way to learn is through doing\/being in the lesson.
\n– Should adapt the way we teach to each individual child’s experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
