Over this academic year I have been working with Christopher Vaughan to record on video my Philosophy of Education course.
In real life, the course is a 15-week lecture course, so the online video series is divided into 15 parts which, starting on Wednesday, March 24, we will be posting serially.
To preview the series, please visit the dedicated course page: Philosophy of Education, An Introductory Course.
Professor Jerry Kirkpatrick gave a talk at Rockford College on October 28 on “Montessori and Dewey as Educational Philosophers.” Dr. Kirkpatrick is Professor of International Business at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.
In the following eleven-minute interview after his talk, I speak with Dr. Kirkpatrick about the two great educational philosophers of the twentieth century, both of whom are exerting great influence in the twenty-first.
The talk was also based on Dr. Kirpatrick’s fine book Montessori, Dewey, and Capitalism. His talk at Rockford College was sponsored by the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship, and this video interview is also available here at the center’s site.
More of my interviews with CEE’s guest speakers are available here.
I’m teaching a graduate-level course on the Philosophical Foundations of Education (EDUC 605) this semester.
We cover several key philosophical issues that bear directly upon education, read the works of several philosophers — Plato, Locke, Kant, Dewey, and others — who have influenced education greatly, and we look at several systems of educational philosophy.
I’ve also invited three guest speakers this semester: Jerry Kirkpatrick, a philosopher of education and professor of business at Cal State Pomona, and Joshua Hall, an economist at Beloit College with expertise in the political economy of education, and Roberto Salinas León, a philosophy Ph.D. and President and CEO of the Mexico Business Forum, Mexico City. Professor Kirkpatrick will be at Rockford College on October 28 and Professor Hall’s and Dr. León’s dates are TBA.
Here are PDF file of the syllabus and schedule for the course and the supplemental 59-page booklet of readings:
