Beskrivning
Philosophical Inquiry shows how to use the tools of philosophy for educational purposes. It is a practical guide to the philosophical arts of questioning, conceptual exploration and reasoning, with wide application across the school curriculum. It provides educators with an effective means of teaching students to think critically and creatively, to use their knowledge to solve problems, to deal with issues, to explore possibilities and work with ideas. These are the skills and abilities that young people need in order to thrive socially and economically in the world today. Drawing on educational and psychological theory, Philosophical Inquiry emphasizes the use of collaborative learning, through class discussion, working with a partner, and small group work. This approach teaches students to think in socially responsible ways. It means that students become not only thinking individuals but also good team-players, with benefits that extend beyond the classroom and the school to community life and the world of work.

Recensioner i media

Philip Cam is internationally known for his very thoughtful and practical approach to critical inquiry. His latest book does not disappoint – it is beautifully written. Focusing on the three main skills – questioning, explaining and reasoning – he outlines ways in which teachers can develop them, with a lucidity and power that is undeniable. In the activities at the end of each chapter he gives very clear examples which should enable even the barely interested teacher to successfully operationalize the methods. This book is highly recommended for all those interested in moving pedagogy and the curriculum into the 21st century.
