Abstract

The foundations of the curriculum are the values, traditions, factors, and forces that influence the kind, quantity, and quality of experiences the school offers its learners. The curriculum has many influential forces which have engendered a tremendous impact upon the construction of the curriculum. In other words, philosophical foundations are those elements of philosophy which have a bearing on choices made with regard to the purposes and contents of the school. It is in the area of curriculum planning that philosophy in education reflects itself. The goals or objectives of any educational effort can only be implemented through a curriculum that translates them into subjects, units of instruction, themes, or topics that enter the classroom. They are to be reflected in the reading, the instruction, and the activities of the pupils under the guidance and direction of the teachers. For understanding the concept of philosophical foundations, there is a need to know the relationship between philosophy and education. In this work, I will be reviewing three philosophical foundations: idealism, naturalism, and pragmatism, and their relationship with education.

Abstract

For a very long period, the philosophy of education has been an important area of study. It is important because it explains how educational theories evolve. An understanding of philosophy is therefore essential in guiding and critiquing the development of educational theory. The purposes of education are articulated and expressed at a practical level through the curriculum. Philosophy sets the ground for the development of education. The inherent and interpretative meaning of education can be realized only through philosophy. Another important aspect of this relationship is the impact of various philosophical epochs in the field of education, like pre-modernism and post-modernism, on education. Both modernism and postmodernism have brought drastic revolutions in the fields of philosophy in general and philosophy of education in particular. The rapid changes in the social and economic spheres were thus paralleled by equally dramatic changes in the world of theory and ideas. The essence of this paper is to trace a brief analysis of the philosophy of education from the modern to the post-modernist strand.

Abstract

Africa over the years has been struggling to catch up with other continents in terms of educational advancement. Many theories have been postulated in attempts to fashion out a better course for education in the continent. In spite of these attempts, Africa still lags behind. This work through a critical analysis aims at showing the great part culture has played in the slow growth of education in the continent. The work argues that some aspects of African (Nigeria specifically) culture need to be done away with, if education must thrive well in the continent. The work therefore, advocates the use of ‘force training’ as Aristotle postulated in his Nicomachean Ethics to change these dysfunctional aspects of culture so that the functional one would blossom. It is when this is done that education will blossom in Nigeria as well as in other countries.
