The word philosophy is made up of two root words: (philo) which stands for "love" and (sophos) stands for "wisdom". Philosophy is love and pursuit of wisdom by logical means and moral self-discipline.
There are four different Philosophies of education. Perennialism and essentialism are the first two philosophies which stress the importance of subject matter knowledge in education.
Perennialism which is a particular view of philosophy that sees human nature as constant, with few changes over time. Perennialism is education promotes the advancement of the intelligence as the central purpose of schools. The educational process stresses academic firmness and discipline.
Second essentialism is American philosophy of education that began in the 1930s and 1940s. Proponents believe that an educated person must have this core of knowledge and skills and that all children should be taught it.
The last two Philosophies of education are opposite of the first two which are romanticism and progressivism they first look at the leaner rather then the curriculum.
Third is romanticism which is a child-centered philosophy of education that condemns the influences of society and suggest instead that a child's natural curiosity and the natural world should be used to teach.
Fourth is progressivism is a form of educational philosophy that sees nature as ever-changing. Because the world is always changing and new situations require new solutions to problems learners must develop as problem solvers.
With reading this chapter and actually really thinking about it, it makes me wonder what will be my philosophy or what is my philosophy? I figured out that my philosophy is going to take time, thought, and also energy, but one I thing I know is I've already started my philosophy and that is me picking education for a career choice.
