023521 Philosophy of Education
6cpUndergraduateSubject coordinator: Kitty Te Riele
This subject is directed towards assisting teachers to make thoughtful and informed decisions about teaching, based upon an understanding and evaluation of relevant arguments and underlying principles. Students develop and clarify their own philosophy of education by examining various perspectives and the arguments and principles involved in some current educational issues. In so doing, it is expected that students will develop a critical-reflective approach to educational practices and beliefs, which provides a foundation for their learning and work while studying and throughout their career as teachers.
