QUESTION 1
Write short notes on each of the following philosophies’ views on education: (5X5=25)
Empiricism:
• Empiricists believe that knowledge is derived from sensory experiences and observations of the
external world.
• According to empiricists, education should focus on providing students with direct experiences
and opportunities to learn through experimentation and observation.
• Empiricists emphasize the importance of evidence-based learning, where students gather data
and draw conclusions based on empirical evidence.
• Empiricists argue that education should be practical and applied, allowing students to directly
engage with real-world phenomena.
• Empiricism views education as a continuous process of learning from one’s experiences and
refining one’s understanding through empirical investigation.
Phenomenology:
• Phenomenologists emphasize the study of subjective experiences and the meaning individuals
attribute to them.
• In education, phenomenologists believe that learning should be centered around the personal
experiences and perspectives of students.
• Phenomenology promotes the idea that education should encourage self-reflection and
introspection to gain a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
• Phenomenologists argue that education should focus on the development of the whole person,
including their emotional, social, and cognitive aspects.
• Phenomenology views education as a process of uncovering the underlying meanings and
essences of concepts and phenomena.
Scientific Rationalism:
• Scientific rationalism prioritizes the use of reason, empirical evidence, and the scientific method
in acquiring knowledge.
• In education, scientific rationalists advocate for an evidence-based approach, where teaching
methods and curriculum are informed by scientific research.
• Scientific rationalism emphasizes the importance of objective knowledge and facts, which
should be taught and communicated to students.
• Scientific rationalists argue that education should aim to develop critical thinking skills and a
scientific mindset in students.
• Scientific rationalism views education as a means to discover and understand the natural laws
and principles that govern the world.
