Choose a major philosophy of education. Briefly describe the philosophy, then include a description of a "typical" lesson for your chosen philosophy

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

a . essentialism: a philosophy of education that consists of core knowledge in reading, writing, math, science, history, foreign language, and technology. Essentialist lessons will include lectures in which students are required to take notes, may complete worksheets or projects, and then be assessed on the learning material.
b. perennialism: a philosophy of education that asserts that certain notions transcend time and are predominantly found in the great literature of the ages. A Perennialist lesson will be closely organized and disciplined, using "Great Works" to develop reasoning skills and ensure mastery of content.
c. progressivism: based on the positive changes and problem-solving approach that can be provided by individuals with various educational credentials, based on outcomes rather than imparting learned facts. A progressivist lesson will include exploration and experience, in which teachers act as facilitators.
d. social reconstructionism: the perspective that schools are the organization that should be used to solve society's problems. A reconstructionist lesson would include class discussions of moral dilemmas, with students individually selecting their objectives and social priorities.
e. existentialism: the philosophy that accentuates attentive personal consideration about one's character, beliefs, and choices. The primary question existentialists ask is whether they want to define who they are themselves, or whether they want society to define them. An existentialist lesson will allow student choice and self-selected assignments.
f. critical theory: a philosophy of education that analyzes institutions, organizations, and instruction in terms of power relationships. A critical theory lesson will focus on empowering subordinate classes by analyzing social and educational circumstances in schools and in society.
g. globalization: the process that promotes worldwide participation and relationships between people of different countries, cultures, and languages. A "global" classroom will focus on participation and relationships between people of different countries, cultures, and languages.
