Course objectives
The aim of the course is to bring student to a philosophical view of education. The course is based on interpretation of selected works by philosophers of education and continues towards students’ personal considerations of selected topics of the philosophy of educational process (e.g. human educability, relationship between an educator and an educated, an educated as a part of a community and others). The conclusion of the course is dedicated to problems of pedagogy from the point of view of philosophy of science. At the end of the course, students are able do distinguish among individual levels of pedagogical discourses and some students are able to identify a philosophical type of questioning.
