Teacher Education and the Pursuit of Wisdom takes its readers into
the deep waters of investigating teaching not simply as a
profession but as a precious "way of life." The author begins by
investigating the nature of teaching as both an "active" and a
"contemplative" endeavor and inquires into the resonance between
the nature of teaching on the one hand and what has been said
classically about genuine philosophizing on the other hand. Having
laid the groundwork for students to be able to recognize this
intimate connection, readers are next challenged to take up the
notion of teaching as a "way of life" in the pursuit of wisdom
experimentally and to record their observations in a personalized
journal format. Thorough explanations are provided concerning the
value of journaling for self-knowledge, and exemplar texts by
master journal writers are discussed. This book is designed for use
as a primary textbook in philosophy of education courses.
Instructors will find it helpful as a means to organize engaging
classes at both the undergraduate and graduate levels for genuine
philosophic practices and inquiry. It contains a well-defined
program of work that is modelled upon the latest research
concerning "authentic task design." Its rich experimental approach
is replete with a broad array of learning tasks, assessment tools,
and practices that are aligned with the competencies-based approach
taken in most professional certification and BEd Programs.
