 Axiology

Axiology is the branch of philosophy that studies judgments about values,

and how these values come about in society.
 Subject Matter (Axiology)
• The study of axiology aims to comprehend what
values are, how they arise, and how they interact
with other elements of the human experience, such
as morality, aesthetics, and culture.
• Understanding the nature of personal and social
identity requires knowledge of axiology since
values are crucial in forming both individual and
collective identity.
• Axiology is important to the study of psychology
because it sheds light on how values affect
motivation, human behavior, and judgment.
• Axiology is used in various subject matters such
as; Ethics, aesthetics, education,
environmentalism, etc.
 The Teacher's Role
(Axiology)
• Axiology influences the behavior
and actions of teachers. If a
teacher values honesty, they will
model that behavior to their
students by always being honest
• Critical thinking – Axiology can
encourage teachers to promote .critical
thinking and problem solving in their
students. (Knowing how to think in order
to make good decisions will enable

• Axiology helps teachers to establish the values that even if it may be hard . students to deal with life's problems and

life.)

Growth- Teachers who value growth and personal

development may provide opportunities for their
students to explore their interests and talents.
 School Environment
(Axiology)
• An Axiological approach involves the
transfer of young people’s value &
standards in the educational process.
• It leads to the accumulation and growth of
the axiological potential of a young person. 
• Good education helps in the formation and
development of students.
One dimension of this formation is moral
development and how students should behave
(social behavior). 
Axiological approach inside the school
environment it provides a warm and comfortable
environment which allows students to respect
teachers as well as their peers.
• The mood and tone of the students
will be respectful as the standards are
expressed inside the classroom.
 Instruction (Axiology)

Ways in which axiology can influence

• Value-based instruction: Axiology can inform the
instruction in the classroom: values that teachers seek to impart to their students
• Curriculum development: Axiology can through instruction. For example, a teacher who

curriculum by determining the values that
are deemed important to be taught in the
classroom.
• Ethical instruction: Axiology can help teachers
• Axiology influences teaching strategies navigate ethical issues that arise in instruction,
such as value-based instruction and ethical such as how to handle controversial topics or how
to ensure that all students are treated fairly and

respectfully.
 Logic

Logic is a branch of philosophy that studies the principles of reasoning and

argumentation. It is concerned with the analysis and evaluation of arguments
and seeks to provide a systematic and rigorous framework for thinking and
communicating clearly and effectively.
 Instruction (Logic)
Ways in which logic can influence instruction in
the classroom:
• Problem-solving skills: Logic can be used to
teach students problem-solving skills by
providing them with a framework for
analyzing problems and evaluating potential
solutions. By learning to identify and evaluate
evidence, students can develop critical thinking
skills that can be applied to a wide range of
academic and real-world problems.
• Mathematical instruction: Logic is closely tied to
mathematics, and can influence the way teachers
design instruction in this subject area. For example,
teachers can teach students to use deductive reasoning
to prove mathematical theorems, or to use inductive
reasoning to make conjectures.
• Science instruction: Logic is also closely tied to
the scientific method, and can influence the way
teachers design instruction in this subject area. For
example, teachers can teach students to design
experiments that test hypotheses, evaluate data,
and draw conclusions.
 School Environment

inductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning
involves examining a general case,
deducing a general set of rules or
principles, and then applying these rules to
specific cases.

and to formalize theories.
• It can also serve the double function of deepening

awareness of his/her own students.
• It must must follow then that the more the
teacher understands about the nature and
function of language in its communicative
setting is the more facile he/she will be in the
teaching process. (Cunningham,1958)
 Subject Matter (Logic)

• Logic seeks to understand the principles of valid reasoning

and how we can use those principles to construct sound
arguments and make correct inferences.

concepts and ideas
 Realism
• Realism prepares children for a happy and successful life.
It introduces the child to nature and the social environment, It also helps the
child's physical and mental abilities to grow.
• A teacher should be able to exposes the child to the external realities of
life.
The teacher must determine the child's interests and teach accordingly. He or
she should teach subjects in the correct order. He/she must be able to expose
and guide students through the harsh realities of life.
 Pragmatism
Pragmatism places an emphasis on using ideas and information in the actual world to solve issues. Its
emphasis on problem-solving, critical thinking, and experiential learning makes it relevant to education.

• Experiential learning -This method encourages students to investigate, try new things, and use what they
have learned in real world situations rather than simply memorizing facts or theories.
• Problem solving - Students are encouraged to discover issues, examine them, and develop workable
solutions in a pragmatic classroom.
• Critical Thinking - Pragmatism emphasizes the importance of critical thinking skills, which enable
students to evaluate ideas and arguments and to make informed decisions.
 Existentialism
Existentialism emphasizes individual existence, freedom and choice.
• Emphasis on individuality- Recognizing and respecting the individuality of each
student is important
• Education should help students discover and develop their unique identity and
personal meaning
• Students should be encouraged to make choices and take responsibility for the
consequences of their actions.
• Education should help students develop a sense of purpose and meaning in their
lives.
