Chapter 7

Chapter 7 is based on Educational Philosophy. There are many branches of philosophy. Epistemology is a branch of philosophy that examines questions of how we come to know what we know. Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that considers what we know. Asiology is a branch of philosophy that considers values amd ethics, issues now promnent in America education. Logic is a branch that examines the processes of deriving valid conclusions from basic principles. The book says that developing a personal philosophy increases your professionalism by providing a concrete frame of reference for both action and reflection. Philosophy plays a big role in education and I agree it is important for us future educators to learn and recognize.
