Describe the four branches of philosophy and provide a classroom example of each

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that examines questions of how we come to know what we know, such as Allie, in the chapter, arguing that practice and assessment with feedback are ways students come to know the ideas they learn.
Metaphysics—or ontology—is the branch of philosophy that considers what we know, and ultimately attempting to answer the question, "What is real?" For example, Brad in the chapter argued that reality is what we perceive it to be, contrasted with Allie believing that reality exists independent of our perception.
Axiology is the branch of philosophy that considers values and ethics, such as the issue of as many as three fourths of students admitting to cheating on tests, and the large numbers of students in schools who express concerns about being bullied.
Logic is the branch of philosophy that examines the processes of deriving valid conclusions from basic principles, such as Allie concluding that she is promoting learning in her students because she gives them practice and feedback (a minor premise), based on the idea that practice, assessment, and feedback promote learning
