Philosophy Of Education Philosophy of Education “It seems to me that education has a two-fold function to perform in the life of man and in society: the one is utility and the other is culture. Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life.” - Rev. Dr. Martin L. King Jr. (1948 Morehouse College) In my interpretation, this statement is the culmination of the ultimate goal of education in all societies and cultures. The differences lie in our specific philosophies or applications of educational philosophy, or in other words “an approach.” When evaluating my philosophy of education, my views are very clear but ever changing to the needs and standards of each specific situation, while fulfilling basic working knowledge. This philosophy entails a combination of essentialism and progressivism(Ryan &Cooper, p. 313-316). I believe that children do have a desire to learn.
