Educational Philosophers are critical and reflective thinkers.

During December 2013 I have been looking into the philosophies of Immanuel Kant, Karl Marx, John Dewey, Plato, Isocrates and Aristotle.

Philosophers have disagreement and agreement regarding the work of others. Educational Practitioners can learn much about critical analysis by looking into the ideas of Philosophers, their arguments against other hypothesis and the on going developments of thought within the area of educational philosophy.

A reflective practitioner should listen well to the ideas of others and consider the information made available to them in order to decide on conclusions in order to improve practice and deal correctly within different contexts. For this reason I believe that reflective practice is hugely beneficial and also much can be learnt from historical events, philosophical works and scientific discovery.

Schools teaching within the areas of philosophical thought incorporate problem-based learning in order to convey the ever changing patterns of philosophical thought. Learners then become empowered to process and produce work based on philosophical thought (Major, C and Savin-Baden M, 2011, p10).
