This essay is the first of a series of occasional papers written by members of the Humanistic Education Project. The purpose is to examine the possibility that philosophy might in fact provide a foundation for educational practice; that philosophy would provide practical knowledge concerning what ought to be done so students and teachers could deal intelligently with social reality in an effort to bring about change without the use of force. After some initial definitions of politics and...

The author suggests that "today's educational movement is toward humanism, relevance, and individualization." The rationale for these remarks is discussed in sections on first language acquisition models, unstructured learning, trial and error learning, meaning in communication, language models, learning grammar, "perfect" pronunciation, the need to individualize, and the psychologist's and sociologist's viewpoint. The importance of social interaction through peer teaching...

This paper reports on the versatility of teaching models from several vantage points. First, teaching models are applicable to a variety of educators with varying curriculum concerns. Experience has shown that all educators can use some aspect of teaching models in their work with learners. Second, teaching models are relatively content free so that they may be used in a variety of subject areas. For example, Carl Rogers' Non-Directive Teaching model might be used to help youngsters determine...

Although listening provides a foundation for all aspects of language and cognitive development and plays a lifelong role in the processes of learning and communication essential to productive participation in life, there is a tendency for teachers not to emphasize listening objectives. Even though no widely accepted model for listening has been developed, several researchers have linked listening skills to reading skills, and processing models for reading contribute to the understanding of...

Jacques Maritain and John Dewey were two of the towering figures in philosophy of education. Maritain led an international revival of Aristotelian and Thomist philosophies known as Integral Humanism. Dewey, a founding figure of Pragmatism, exercised a significant influence on American education. Originating in very different philosophical settings, their ideas on education tend to represent polar opposites. An analysis of the divergent insights on education presented by Maritain and Dewey can...

Learning from mistakes is one way of basic learning. Currently both primary and secondary schools, even colleges and universities, have focused on their teaching practice that students learn from their own mistakes, not from teachers'. This paper proposes that teachers share their own rational mistakes with their students in the process of teaching practice, then studies Confucius' educational thinking which also contains the new idea, sharing mistakes. To practise the new idea, specific...

The teaching of spelling is outlined and discussed in this pamphlet. Three major steps are described: the prewriting stage, teaching the principle of alphabetic writing--the understanding that spelling requires the sequencing of sounds within a word, and teaching the spelling patterns of written English. The pamphlet concludes that two current practices are detrimental to children in developing spelling skills: teaching spelling words and demanding perfect spelling. (JM)

Six control structures are used in teaching a college Fortran programing course: (1) simple sequences of instruction without any control statement, (2) IF-THEN selection, (3) IF-THEN-ELSE selection, (4) definite loop, (5) indefinite loop, and (6) generalized IF-THEN-ELSE case structure. Outlines, instead of flowcharts, are employed for algorithm development. Comparisons of student performance in structured and standard Fortran classes show no statistical significance, but suggest that the...

"What indeed has Athens to do with Jerusalem? What concord is there between the Academy and the Church?" According to third-century Christian apologist Tertullian, not much.

At one extreme, there are those who believe that the teacher's role is to help pass on a body of knowledge to students. While students are expected...
