Recollecting R.S. Peters: Four Essays and a Supplement     

PAUL STANDISH 《Journal of Philosophy of Education》2020,54(3):711-716

This short text provides an introduction to the five papers that follow, all of which reflect on R.S. Peters, his founding importance for contemporary philosophy of education, and his continuing relevance. It sets the scene by referring to Peters’ early and important encounter with Israel Scheffler before going on briefly to acknowledge other work published over the past decade that examines Peters’ achievement. In addition, it explains the background to the fifth paper in this suite. This is Ieuan Lloyd's record, posthumously published, of conversations about the philosophy of education with Rush Rhees, in which Peters’ work is considered.  相似文献   

Exhausted: Education and the Response to the Planetary Crisis     

PAUL STANDISH 《Journal of Philosophy of Education》2020,54(4):927-943

The climate crisis is of a severity that fills many with a sense of hopelessness. The modest steps that ordinary citizens can take to reduce energy consumption and waste seem futile in relation to the massive changes that are needed from governments and industry, and inertia often results. The responses of philosophy and education have been conscientious and constructive in many respects, but again these endeavours are overwhelmed by the intransigence of economic interests. Perhaps because of this, such responses are in danger of becoming self-referential expressions of right-mindedness or nostalgic appeals for a simpler, more natural world. The discourse betrays signs of exhaustion—an exhaustion that seems to match the exhausted condition of the planet. The present discussion offers no easy solutions but asks what might be the best way to live in relation to such circumstances and how education might contribute to this.  相似文献   

Curiosity and Acquaintance: Ways of Knowing     

PAUL STANDISH 《Journal of Philosophy of Education》2020,54(5):1453-1470

Curiosity has rightly received much attention in epistemology and educational research. Although, through the centuries, it has been regarded with a degree of ambivalence, the trend now is towards its championing as an intellectual or epistemic virtue. The present discussion juxtaposes it against a contrasting way of knowing, which I refer to as knowledge by acquaintance. The notion of acquaintance pursued here parts company with Bertrand Russell's adoption of the expression, taking up instead a more ordinary use of the term. It is suggested that both curiosity and knowledge by acquaintance can present problems. Working through an example drawn from Stephen Poliakoff's film Close My Eyes, the paper seeks to reappraise the value of knowing by acquaintance for epistemology and for educational practice and research.  相似文献

Education and the Educational Project I: the atmosphere of post-modernism     

PAUL. SMEYERS 《Journal of Philosophy of Education》1995,29(1):109-119

The paper deals with the way postmodernism has been discussed within philosophy of education and argued for by some authors within this context, and with what this kind of postmodernism can offer to education and to philosophy of education. Particular attention is paid to one of the basic presuppositions, namely the requirement to break with the cultural heritage and look for radical alternatives. A second paper will develop a different view of human action, following the later Wittgenstein, and draw on Frankfurt's ideas on'the importance of what we care about' to revitalise the conception of the educational project.  相似文献

A Personal Reflection on Scenario Writing as a Powerful Tool to Become a More Professional Teacher Educator   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

PAUL CAUTREELS 《欧洲师范教育杂志》2003,26(1):175-180

Reflection nowadays is a major goal in teacher education. One of the primary conditions for student teachers to become reflective professionals is the guidance of a reflective teacher educator. In this article we try to show that teacher educators can benefit from the work of scenario writing to become more reflective professionals themselves. We will not give a scientific explanation about scenario writing, we simply tell the story of the adventure we were involved in during the past two years. Nevertheless, at the end we add some theoretical notions illuminating this 'learners' log'. Aujourd'hui le de´veloppement de la capacite´ de re´flexion est un aspect important de la formation des enseignants. Pour que les e´tudiants puissent devenir un jour des professionnels 're´flexifs', ils ont besoin d'un guide professionnel: un professeur 're´flexif' lui-même. Pour de´velopper leurs capacite´s de re´flexion, les professeurs peuvent certainement se servir de la technique du sce´nario. C'est ce que nous essayons de de´montrer dans cet article. Nous ne donnons pas un expose´ scientifique sur les techniques d'e´criture de sce´narios. Nous racontons tout simplement l'aventure que nous avons ve´cue ces deux dernie ¤ res anne´es. Ne´anmoins, nous ajoutons quelques notions the´oriques pour illustrer ce journal d'un 'apprenti'. En la actualidad, la reflexio´n es uno de los objetivos ma´s importantes de la formacio´n del profesorado. Una de las condiciones principales para que los profesores se conviertan en unos profesionales reflexivos es la orientacio´n de un formador del profesorado reflexivo. En este arti´culo, tratamos de ilustrar que los formadores del profesorado se pueden beneficiar del trabajo de crear escenarios para convertirse ellos mismos en unos profesionales ma´s reflexivos. No proporcionaremos una explicacio´n cienti´fica de la creacio´n de escenarios, simplemente contaremos la historia de la aventura en la que nos vimos envueltos durante los dos u´ltimos años. No obstante, al final añadiremos algunas nociones teo´ricas que iluminen este "diario de aprendices". Reflexion ist heutzutage ein Hauptziel der Lehrerausbildung. Eine wesentliche Voraussetzung dafu¨r, daß Lehramtsstudierende zur beruflichen Reflexion befa¨higt werden, besteht in der Reflexivita¨t der sie betreuenden Lehrenden. In diesem Beitrag versuchen wir aufzuzeigen, daß Lehrerausbilder aus dem Verfassen von Szenarios fu¨r die berufliche. Reflexionsfa¨higkeit selbst Gewinn ziehen ko¨nnen. Wir werden das Entwerfen von Szenarien nicht wissenschaftlich erkla¨ren, sondern wir werden einfach erza¨hlen, in welches Abenteuer wir in den letzten Jahren verwickelt waren. Trotzdem werden wir am Ende einige theoretische Anmerkungen machen, die das Logbuch des 'Lerners' erla¨utern sollen.  相似文献
