Educational Implications of Whitehead's Relation and Becoming: Centered on Curriculum and Evaluation

In this study we studied the implications of Whitehead's Relation & Becoming to education. We particularly studied their implications centered on curriculum and educational evaluation. The process of education is evaluation itself. If the process is results and also results are the process of continuous becoming, evaluations are the process of education and the evaluations should exist in the process of education. Because if evaluation exists out of the process of education, its being(or life) terminates. This means the process of teacher's feelings and attitudes which is accompanied with evaluation is one of the process of education. The process of teacher's feelings and attitudes is evaluation itself. This is the process based evaluation. If realities are the process of continuous becoming, the process of education is also the process of becoming. If the process of becoming is the process of positioning, the process of education is also the process of finding student's position in the world. This means evaluation should be performed to assist for students to find their positions in the world. Every being or reality has duality. This means that every reality has two characteristics. One is the complex connectedness as characteristic of micro-world and the other is the clear dividedness as characteristic of macro-world. Subject knowledges are kind of reality. They also have duality. They are connected complexly. They however, are divided clearly. We therefore, need to consider subject knowledges' duality while we integrate school curriculum. Prehension are evaluation, awareness, recognition, perception, understanding etc. Prehension is feeling itself according to Whitehead. That is, prehension is feeling and feeling surely accompanies the emotional tone of the subject. This is the subjective form. If evaluation accompanies emotional tones of subject, evaluation is never value neutrality. Evaluation surely accompanies teacher's feeling about students. Teacher's feeling while evaluating is natural. Teacher needs to use his or her feeling about students desirably.
