Each one of us has views about education, how discipline should
function, how individuals learn, how they should be motivated, what
intelligence is, and the structures (content and subjects) of the
curriculum. Perhaps the most important beliefs that (beginning)
teachers bring with them are their notions about what constitutes
"good teaching". The scholarship of teaching requires that
(beginning) teachers should examine (evaluate) these views in the
light of knowledge currently available about the curriculum and
instruction, and decide their future actions on the basis of that
analysis. Such evaluations are best undertaken when classrooms are
treated as laboratories of inquiry (research) where teachers
establish what works best for them. Two instructor centred and two
learner centred philosophies of knowledge, curriculum and
instruction are used to discern the fundamental (basic) questions
that engineering educators should answer in respect of their own
beliefs and practice. They point to a series of classroom
activities that will enable them to challenge their own beliefs,
and at the same time affirm, develop, or change their philosophies
of knowledge, curriculum and instruction.
