EFFECT OF PHILOSOPHY IN EDUCATION and EFFECT OF EDUCATION ON PHILOSOPHY

Education and philosophy has a close relationship because philosophy is a view of life that leads to the goal of education (Isriyah & Lasan, 2018). According to Dewey, changes that occur in society must exist and inevitable because education is always changing.

As for philosophy's interaction with education, at least two things can be said:

1) The education of philosophy involves learning the discipline or methods of formal philosophical reasoning, and often the history of philosophy as well.

2) The philosophy of education involves teachers or educators thinking through why they teach, how they teach, why they teach the way they do, and what aspects of their role as educator are prioritized above others. Many teachers have the intrinsic worth of the student as a person in mind when they decide how they will prioritize their duties.

In short, philosophy is an essential component of education in any subject, and you don't have to be a philosopher to have a philosophy.

CONCEPTS OF EDUCATION

INTRODUCTION

Teachers  are highly valuable and respected members of society and they provide education. A Education involves knowledge, learning, and experience. Thus, students can acquire knowledge, experience, and skills in educational organizations through teachers

The teaching methods should conform to philosophical, psychological, scientific, and sociological (PPSS) parameters for a successful education. 

PHILOSOPHICAL

            The purpose of education is to impart knowledge. A teacher is also a role model for the students. Many experts are of the opinion that we need to treat students as guests or customers. In any case, the teacher's main goal is to make his or her lecture more predictive at the end of the session. If we follow this principle, our teaching will be eٹcient, and it is the philosophy behind the direct contact classes. As we are aware, a pleasant and attractive teaching method will always be successful in this society.

PSYCHOLOGICAL

            Teachers need to understand the basic psychology of the whole group of students in a class and also individual students. We are in the era of personalized medicine, so we know the learning capability diوٴers from one individual to another. Also, the mood of students, as a group, varies with the season, climate, time, sessions, etc., so teachers should understand this basic philosophy. Teachers should also know about the general behavioral attitude of individual students. Нus, teachers have to handle classes to the students through this psychological tool. Motivation and periodical counseling to students will provide eوٴective results.

SOCIOLOGICAL

        Understanding of students on social perspectives is essential in our society. We have different societies, regions, and cultures. Although there are differences between the teaching styles practiced in developed countries versus developing countries, teaching fundamentals are the same. Teachers need to determine, either directly or indirectly, the social status of their students. Some students work part-time; students may be from diوٴerent backgrounds (poor, rural or remote areas, etc.).

SCIENTIFIC

        From a scientific point of view, audio-visual methods of teaching are always interesting for students. Good power point presentations, legible and with colors that are easy on the eyes, can enhance students' understanding. In conclusion, a teacher is like an architect who builds the future of students. For successful, quality education, a teacher should handle all the methods that help students have a proper education to lead a prosperous life.
