Course Summary:

This course introduces teacher trainees to the philosophical foundations of education, illuminating how key ideas—from idealism and pragmatism to existentialism and constructivism—inform teaching methods, classroom interactions, and curriculum decisions. By critically examining educational values, beliefs, and systems, learners will begin to craft their own personal teaching philosophy. Through dialogue, reflection, and practical application, the course fosters self-awareness and equips future educators with the intellectual tools to teach with purpose and conviction.
