학교 교육 현실과 교사의 철학

Teachers" Educational Situation in School and Their Philosophy of Education

&nbsp;&nbsp;This study aims at examining, from the perspective of teacher, the reason of why educational philosophy does not have relevance to current educational situation, and discussing about the reasons of why teachers need philosophy of education, and suggesting a way of how philosophy of education can attain relevance to educational situation.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The research points out that a fundamental reason of why philosophy of education disconnected with educational situation is the fact that teachers are alienated from decision making on educational matter which they perform everyday.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Every teacher needs his/her own philosophy of education. Because it contributes distinctively for teachers to change educational situation in right direction and to practice their educational works with a holistic understanding of education.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;This study suggests the idea of "situated philosophy" and "educational philosophy by teachers" to realize a healthy and desirable philosophy of education.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;It is for reciprocal benefit and growth both of philosophers of education and educators to pursue a relevant philosophy of education. It is almost impossible for teachers to reflect on educational matters with their own educational philosophy, because they are alienated from the process of policy making on their educational problems in the current educational situation. Therefore, it is necessary that philosophers listen to what teachers say about their situation and tries to communicate with teachers on educational matters in order for educational philosophy to regain its audience.
