4. What are the 3 most critical philosophical thoughts on education and why?
Pragmatism, constructivism, and progressivism stand out as the three most pivotal philosophical perspectives in
education, owing to their significant reach and profound influence. These three philosophies are considered critical
because they address the practical, cognitive, and societal dimensions of education. Pragmatism ensures that
education remains relevant and applicable to students' lives, constructivism aligns with cognitive development
principles. progressivism seeks to create a dynamic learning environment that empowers students to become critical
thinkers, problem solvers, and engaged citizens.
The philosophical concepts surrounding education imbue significance into the educational process,
offering a framework for comprehending, contemplating, and discerning the very essence of education.
Moreover, these concepts exert an impact on our approaches and tactics for managing and engaging
with learners who exhibit a wide array of behaviors and traits.
