Abstract:
Karl Popper developed a falsificationist epistemology in which knowledge grows through falsifying, or criticizing, our theories. Since criticism plays such a vital role in Popper’s falsificationist methodology, it seems natural to envisage his heuristic as a helpful resource for developing critical thinking. However, there is much controversy in the literature over the feasibility and utility of his falsificationism as a heuristic. This study argued that Popper’s falsificationism is justified on the grounds that it not only solves, theoretically, the problem of the bounds of reason in the form

Abstract:
This thesis attempts to apply McPeck's critique (one which contests the teaching of critical thinking by using lists of skills assumed to be generic; or applicable to all subjects) to Lipman's program, the "Philosophy for Children".<br>The hidden question is: "Can Lipman's program withstand McPeck's critique?" Is there anything that can be salvaged? Though McPeck's critique undermines Lipman's claims regarding the use of generic thinking skills as a means of educating a critical thinker, this thesis suggests that the skills that Lipman calls "generic" seem to exist. In addition it is suggested

Abstract:
There is a growing interest in the study of the moral qualities of teachers. Many studies emphasize empirical techniques without attention to the philosophical features of moral conduct or focus on the philosophical features without connections to the actual conduct of teachers. This dissertation combines philosophical and empirical inquiry to study the moral conduct of teachers. Using Fenstermacher's distinction among teaching method, style, and manner, the technical and personality characteristics of teachers are distinguished from teacher conduct that expresses moral virtue. This conduct is

Abstract:
In the pluralistic community of architectural education, the pedagogical paradigm has traditionally viewed the design laboratory as the integrating environment, where the student transforms the discrete parameters of architecture into an architectural form. With curriculum structure defining the parameters to which a student is exposed, the tendency is to direct the student through an additive and linear progression. The problem exists to develop a conceptual model that unifies the discrete fragments into a connected educational experience, insuring within the design laboratory the necessary b

Geography is being more and more reduced to only one form of rationality, i.e. technical control. Such narrowness threatens all spiritual life and creativity. It calls on us to find new ways of thinking. Notwithstanding some refreshing break-throughs, especially its opening into literature, humanistic geography cannot be considered an adequate alternative to technical rationality. On the contrary, from a metaphysical perspective, humanism seems to be bordering on the very essence of technology. Its propositions partake of the system of metaphysical oppositions which determine the technological

The field of cultural studies is founded upon the belief that there are no essential (ahistorical or transhistorical) limits separating theory from practice.

The move away from this older belief in natural limits is largely carried out in the name of diversity, a sincere wish to promote openness and tolerance toward the various ends that humans may choose to pursue.

The debate over the preferred teaching method of ethics is between the methods of neutrality and advocacy. Proponents of each assume that only one method is acceptable. I argue that both methods have acceptable versions and that there are different situations in which one is preferred over the other. Using both methods throughout an ethics course is preferable to using only one method exclusively. The question then becomes how one decides which method to use with each particular issue. I argue that it depends on whether an ethical issue is controversial or whether or not a consensus exists. Co

Abstract:
Most adult human activities reflect a moral position. This thesis aims to show that art, as one form of human endeavour, follows suit. Consequently, art education should reflect this connection. In this thesis I make a philosophical investigation of one possible approach to art education. Furthermore, to be reflective of western society's emphasis on personal autonomy and authenticity, I contend that the only appropriate moral stance in education should be intuitive, non-calculating and non-utilitarian.<br>In order to philosophically illustrate and support my position, I use the aesthetic thou

Abstract:
The study was an investigation into the teaching decisions that mathematics teachers make over time. I view a mathematics classroom as a didactical system of teacher, learners and content within an educational institution, where content is the material that brings teachers and learners together. Within such a system I view the teacher's role as making content available to learners. Prior research has often investigated the teacher's role by comparing teaching practices nationally or internationally, but these comparisons have tended to use the lesson as the unit of analysis. I propose that how
