PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
Hallo Everyone, My name is Elvis Omondi Kauka-Lecturer of Philosophy of Education at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology-Kenya. Its been awhile, but we are back onto Online Lectures in Philosophy of Education. Last year we had wonderful posts on Philosophy of Education. This year we are are going to do a better job. We hope you will carry home something.
OVERVIEW OF SEMESTER II 2019/2020
Semester II at MMUST practically began in February 2020 . This semester I will be facilitating two units namely: PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION- FOR BACHELOR OF EDUCATION STUDENTS
METAPHYSICS AND EDUCATION-FOR MASTERS OF EDUCATION STUDENTS
Students: I have over 1000 curious undergraduate students and 3 highly intellectual masters students. All of them are ready swim into the deep and expanse world of philosophy of Education. The undergraduate class is also taught by my colleagues in different groups but this blog is open to all of them and to you out there.
Activities: I intend to post all lecture discussion notes, videos and photos for the two courses once every week. Readers/Viewers are free to comment, review or elicit discussions on any of the posts.
SOME ADVICE
1. Philosophy of Education is a daily meal- you cannot wait until the end of the semester to start reading. You will starve.
2. The best reader is one who reads and investigates what he/she reads
3. Never fail to ask the Question WHY? This the primary question posed by all Philosophers
4. Think outside your box, outside your experiences, outside your world view.
5. This is Philosophy of Education, so your second variable will always be EDUCATION(Educ ational aim, curriculum, roles of the teacher and the learner, Educational assessment, Instructional methods, Learning Environment, Emmerging issues in Education...etc)
PARTING SHOT
I am proud to be your teacher because I am also your student.
