Philosophy of Education: Modern and Contemporary Ideas at Play
offers a space of questioning and imagination where students are
asked to suspend what they think they have come to know and think
critically, imaginatively, and playfully about the status quo.
Future teachers are given an opportunity to analyze assumptions,
speculate as to alternatives, and cultivate a comprehensive sense
of the relationships between all aspects of schooling. Educational
philosophy provides the skills needed to play with ideas.
