The first step in education's long road to respectability lay in
the ability of its proponents to demonstrate that it was worthy of
collaborating with traditional disciplines in the syllabus of
higher learning. The universities where the infant discipline of
education was promoted benefited from scholars who engaged in
teaching and research with enthusiasm and preached the gospel of
scientific education. These schools-Teachers College/Columbia
University, the University of Chicago, and Stanford
University-gained a reputation as oases of pedagogical knowledge.
Soon, public and private colleges alike introduced professional
academic programs for the preparation of teachers. Foremost among
the subjects for these programs was education philosophy, with its
long history and the impeccable credentials of its ancient and
modern expositors. Although the principal focus of this study is
the history of educational philosophy in colleges and universities,
it also recognizes educational philosophy's antecedents. Chapters
cover ancient roots, Christian educational theory, educational
theory and the modern world, philosophy and education in early
America, development of philosophies of education, disciplinary
maturity for educational philosophy, and prospects. There is a
bibliography and an index.
