The Empiricist John Locke In terms of education, Locke's empiricism meant that
Education the only way to learn is by experience. The best way to
achieve education, which Locke believed could
approach both character and intelligence, is to provide
the pupil with examples of proper thinking and action by
educating the child to witness and share in the virtues
that are part of the sensible and practical man's
conventional wisdom.
For Example:
School field trips
Newspaper readings in the classroom
Utilitarian Education Herbert Spencer He claimed that in order to learn useful science skills
and subjects, people in an industrialized society
required a utilitarian education. Learning should be a
sensory experience in which students engage with their
surroundings; it should be a slow, incremental, and
inductive process. Children should be encouraged to
explore and discover, allowing them to naturally gain
information. A student should only participate in
activities that will allow him or her to function in society.
For Example:
Rather than memorizing a list of vocabulary
terms, students may be asked to create a story
for them.
Use group work and movement in the classroom
to bring imagination into the classroom.
Learning through John Dewey Students are better able to translate ideas and skills
Experience gained in the classroom to real-world circumstances
when they are engaged in hands-on interactions and
reflection.
For Example:
Visiting the zoo
Observation and contact with the zoo
environment provide opportunities for learning
through experience.
Building A New George Counts He wanted teachers to teach specifically about power
Social Order and inequality, rather than vague, metaphysical notions
of democracy. He wanted teachers and students to
prioritize the development of a better social order as
one of their primary goals.
For Example:
As a tool for critiquing and changing the social
order, school may be used.
Education is designed to prepare people for
social change.
Critical Pedagogy Paulo Freire Paulo Freire coined the term "banking model of
vs. Banking Model education" to characterize and criticize the conventional
of Education educational system. The name alludes to the metaphor
of students as containers that educators must fill with
information. In comparison to Freire's conception of
information as the product of an individual, imaginative
method, this paradigm reinforces a lack of critical
thought and knowledge ownership in students, which in
turn reinforces oppression.
For Example:
The knowledge relayed by the instructor is
simply stored by the students.
Problem posing education – When a teacher or
student raises a problem, the whole class works
together to solve it.
