The Relationship

Ascertaining the critical thinking and formal reasoning skills of students With the critical thinking movement gaining momentum at all levels of education in the United States and other countries, many thinking programmes have been developed. A thinking programme that emphasises process, teaching students how to think, rather than what to think, is the Philosophy for Children (P4C) programme, currently carried out in Singapore. A child, according to Matthew Lipman, the founder of the P4C programme, can reason deductively and logically, using concrete objects. In his specially written stories for children Lipman translated the abstract formulations to reasoning in a concrete way that children could understand. To determine whether primary and secondary pupils in Singapore can reason and do philosophy, a study was set up in 1992 to ascertain their reasoning skills. Two instruments were used: the New Jersey Test of Reasoning, developed in the early 1980s to evaluate the P4C programme, and the Test of Formal Reasoning, written by P. K. Arlin to measure the stage of intellectual and cognitive level of the student: concrete, high concrete, transitional, low formal or high formal. This article reports the findings of the study concerning the relationship between critical thinking as measured by the NJTR and concrete and formal reasoning as measured by the ATFR.

Na literatura brasileira relacionada com aplicações didáticas em ciências, frequentemente se verifica que os fundamentos teóricos alegadamente empregados são escolhidos exclusivamente dentre teorias psicológicas de aprendizagem, sem, contudo, que elas sejam utilizadas com a devida propriedade. É possível que esse fenômeno seja uma consequência de um fato evidente: teorias psicológicas estão muito distantes da prática de sala de aula, pois elas foram desenvolvidas para cumprir uma função descritiva e não normativa. Neste trabalho, revisamos esse problema, defendendo a tese de que teorias psicológicas de aprendizagem jamais devem ser utilizadas fora do contexto de alguma teoria da educação, de modo que os fundamentos normativos sejam providos e a conexão com o contexto prático seja alcançada. Como exemplo, construímos uma relação entre a teoria de aprendizagem de David Ausubel e a teoria de educação de Matthew Lipman, mostrando como sua mútua articulação permite alcançar um referencial teórico mais eficiente. Analisamos, por fim, a importância da dimensão psicométrica como concretizadora do nexo entre uma teoria educacional e a(s) teoria(s) psicológica(s) de fundo.

Unexpected Findings

This research was carried out in a classroom of the center of comprehensive family development (desarrollo integral de la familia, DIF) in the municipality of Durango, Mexico. The center trains young people in making crafts. From these young people, 13 teenage mothers ages 15-23, all victims of abuse as children, were selected. With this group, we implemented the philosophical-pedagogical proposal called "Philosophy for children and teenagers," first developed by the American philosopher Matthew Lipman. The main goal was to form a "community of inquiry," where through philosophical dialogue the participants developed cognitive skills, allowing them to share, in an ethical and moral dialogue, their life experiences within a democratic setting. The results were demonstrated through the disclosures made by the participants during the philosophical dialogues, We also recorded the cognitive abilities detected over 20 sessions. We contrast the results with the theories to demonstrate the participants’ cognitive changes. We also observed unexpected findings in other academic fields that facilitate ethical and moral thinking.

El propósito principal de este escrito será abordar la posibilidad de una educación parrhesiástica en la actualidad. La dificultad se presenta a la hora de considerar los métodos educativos contemporáneos, ya que estos poseen un enfoque práctico y controlador. Sin embargo, creo que la posibilidad de pensar una pedagogía parrhesiástica implica considerar otros métodos educativos, menos convencionales, en específico el del filósofo Matthew Lipman. Entonces, este artículo apunta a rescatar caracteres de la parrhesía presentes en dicho programa y notar la importancia de una formación con la presencia de la parrhesía.

Emphasizing the contributions of Matthew Lipman and Gareth Matthews, Chapter 1 examines the P4C movement, which promotes the idea that both children and children’s literature have philosophical tendencies. For P4C, to think philosophically means to think both critically and creatively. This vision of philosophy aligns with a similar understanding of theory. P4C got its start in the United States and has since spread to other countries and continents. At one point there were reportedly 5,000 P4C programs in the United States alone. P4C is enjoying a recent resurgence and continues to be influential worldwide. Chapter 1 examines the evolving use of children’s literature in P4C, as a way of understanding the mutualities of children’s literature and philosophy. P4C has helped to establish children’s literature as philosophical and ethical engagement, linking it with progressive education and children’s rights. It promises also to keep philosophy fresh for practitioners and the larger public. Contemporary PwC (philosophy with children) gives priority to the use of picturebooks.
