The Nature and Value of Philosophy of Education as the Creation of Concepts-in-
Place
Introduction
The philosophy of education is a field that has been the subject of much debate and
discussion over the years. It is concerned with the study of the purpose, process, and nature
of education, and it seeks to explore the underlying principles and values that underpin
educational practices. In this essay, I will conceptualise the nature and value of philosophy
of education as the creation of concepts-in-place. I will discuss the intricate relationship
between philosophising and educational practices, highlight important areas in philosophy
of education, evaluate opposing viewpoints within the arena of philosophical spheres, and
relate insights into how philosophical perspectives could inform and influence various
aspects of education such as teaching methodologies, curriculum design, and the
development of educational policies. Furthermore, I will include real-world African (South
African) and international examples/case studies to illustrate the practical implications of
integrating philosophy into educational contexts. Terms of use
