RE: Philosophy of Education: Questions for Reflection and Discussion

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

The two primary perspectives concerning philosophy of education are Essentialism and Perennialism. Essentialism emphasizes the importance of teaching a core set of essential skills and knowledge that are vital for all students, preparing them to be productive members of society. Perennialism advocates for teaching universal truths that have everlasting importance, focusing on concepts and books that have stood the test of time. These perspectives influence how education is structured, delivered, and perceived, shaping the educational experience and outcomes.

The two primary perspectives are captured by Tertullian's distinction between Jerusalem and Athens, representing respectively an education that is based on God's existence and his revelation and an education that is based on man as the ultimate criterion.
