G. You will be grouped into the five philosophies. Explain how you will react to the
given situation. What advice will you give?
For the essentialist group - Students are not interested in the lesson.
For the perennialist group - Students want to become skilled certain fields of
specialization
For the progressivist group - Parents question students' community immersion for it
poses certain risks
For the behaviorist group - Teacher tells students from the slum areas this: "If there's
a will, there's a way. Poverty is not hindrance to success."
For the existentialist group A colleague asks you to decide for her for fear that she

interview them on their philosophies. The key informants (John Dewey, etc.) will
answer questions using the first person "I".
*1.Christian philosophy
All philosophy carried out by Christians or in relation to the religion of Christianity is
referred to as Christian philosophy. Christian philosophy arose with the goal of
uniting science and faith, beginning with natural rational explanations and
progressing through Christian revelation.
2. Rationalism
Rationalism is the philosophy that all knowledge is vested in human beings, and that
learning is the process of accessing that knowledge and building on it. Empiricism
argues that learning is experiential, and through sensory experiences human beings
accrue knowledge
3. Empiricism
Empiricism is a philosophical belief that states your knowledge of the world is based
on your experiences, particularly your sensory experiences. According to empiricists,
our learning is based on our observations and perception; knowledge is not possible
without experience.
4. Pragmatism
Pragmatism is an educational philosophy that says that education should be about
life and growth. Two important elements of pragmatism include practical learning,
which focuses on the real-world applications of lessons, and experiential learning,
which involves learning through experience, not through simple ideas.
5. Reconstructionism
Reconstructionism/Critical Theory

questions and a quest to create a better society and worldwide democracy.

Confucianism emphasizes human-centered ideals for harmonious living as well as
ancestor worship. There is disagreement over whether Confucianism is a religion,
but its central principle is "Do unto others what you would not want others to do unto
you."
Confucius saw education as a process of constant self-improvement and held that its
primary function was the training of noblemen (junzi). He saw public service as the
natural consequence of education and sought to revitalize Chinese social
institutions, including the family, school, community, state, and kingdom.
7.Hindu philosophy
Hindu philosophy or Vedic philosophy is the set of Indian philosophical systems
developing alongside the religion of Hinduism and emerging in the Iron and Classical
periods, which consists of six orthodox schools of thought (shad-darśana): Samkhya,
Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Mimamsa and Vedanta.
Hindus believe in the doctrines of samsara (the continuous cycle of life, death, and
reincarnation) and karma (the universal law of cause and effect). One of the key
thoughts of Hinduism is “atman,” or the belief in soul. This philosophy holds that
living creatures have a soul, and they're all part of the supreme soul. 8.Buddhist

should actively participate in their own learning.
