Two Paradigms of Philosophy of Education – A Comparative Analysis

January 20, 2024 by maria

Ketevan Tskhvariashvili

 

Abstract

 

 

The present article deals with a comparative analysis between two paradigms
advanced by the contemporary philosophy of education – one represented by the
version of John Dewey’s and the other one inspired by work of the prominent Georgian
philosopher and psychologist Dimitri Uznadze, based on a so called “set development”
theory. The article discusses the reasons why an innovative idea, declared by Dewey,
that school must provide equal opportunities to every student, projected and suggested
by his followers, has not overstepped boundaries of traditional paradigm of education.
On the other hand, Uznadze’s version, suggesting a new epistemological paradigm of
education, seems closer to solving the problem of reconstruction of traditional
philosophy of education. Nevertheless, the problem is again still relevant and needs to
be developed in future.
