Philosophical Questions

What is at stake in high school philosophy education, and why? Why is it a good idea to teach philosophy at this level? This essay seeks to address some issues that arose in revising the Ontario grade 12 philosophy curriculum documents, significant insights from philosophy teacher education, and some early results of recent research funded by the federal Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) in Canada. These three topics include curricular disputes, stories of transformation from philosophy student to philosophy teacher, and preliminary research findings. All underscore the importance and complexity of philosophy education, as well as its challenges and benefits, including the cross-curricular benefits philosophy education imparts to the study of other subject areas. Collectively, these serve as a springboard for asking some larger and broader philosophical questions about the teaching and learning of philosophy, and they demonstrate that this is a promising new area of study and of teaching for philosophers of education. I will raise some questions about philosophy that will help frame the next stage in the SSHRC research into the teaching and learning of philosophy in Ontario, and which I contend are new and fundamental questions to ask about philosophy itself.

The killings at Columbine High School in 1999, Virginia Tech in 2007, the Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018 are four dire examples of mass shootings in school settings by current or former students in the U.S. Schools—K-12 and college campuses—which have long been considered a sacred place for our children and young people receiving education. According to the data collected by the author, since 1999, school mass shootings (SMS) have increased steadily, causing higher casualty with more powerful weapons and planned schemes. School and campus security have become significant concerns. One big question to all Americans is, are our schools really safe enough to send our children to in order to learn and grow? This article presents preliminary research findings of SMS incidents based on 71 cases with the discussion.

The Subject

Much of the research into higher education and its role in work-based learning (WBL), and especially in supporting undergraduate students on placements, has focussed on longer term internships and sandwich courses. Research has also focussed on subject areas that have traditionally been associated with the above; for example, Business, Health, and Engineering. By contrast, the aim of this study was to gather data from students on a much shorter period of placement, categorised as a ‘short project’ (Brennan & Little, 1996). Furthermore, the data recovered was from students studying within the social sciences paradigm, undertaking an undergraduate degree in Education Studies (not teacher education). The social sciences and humanities more generally have not been discussed to any great extent within the context of research on placement or work-based learning (see Smith, Clegg, Lawrence, & Todd, 2007); the subject of Education Studies is not covered at all by previous research. This paper considers the different ways practitioners might blend learning and support university students’ experiential and academic learning in this short project format. The results suggest that even a relatively short period of structured placement can be of significant benefit to students although for many respondents, face-to-face contact in the form of lectures and tutorials is still an important component of a blended approach to WBL.

The aims of this research were (1) to find out whether SQ3R method improved the students’ reading comprehension or not and (2) to describe the implementation of SQ3R method. With regards to the second aim, the research was especially aimed at describing (1) the class situation and (2) the strengths and weaknesses of SQ3R method during the teaching and learning process. The research was conducted in two cycles for two months at a senior high school in Surakarta. Each cycle had five steps: identifying the problem, planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting the action. The research findings show that SQ3R method could improve the students’ reading comprehension and the classroom situation. The mean score increased from pre-test, which was 70.76, became 77.33 in cycle I, and improved to be 85.33 in cycle II. The improvement of the classroom situation can be seen from the facts that: (1) SQ3R method could stimulate the students’ prior knowledge; (2) the students were more focused on the task; (3) they enjoyed themselves and had fun joining the teaching-learning process; (4) the classroom situation was more conducive; (5) they were brave to ask when they did not understand the teachers’ explanation; (6) they paid attention to the lesson; and (7) they were active in the class.

Fundamental Value

Introduction. In recent decades, diverse scientific directions have been actively developed at the interface between various fields of knowledge, including social sciences and humanities. Interdisciplinary research provides a high-quality “unification” of achievements of different sciences and gains fundamental value, since they allow full information on this or that studied subject or phenomenon to be received and options of optimum solutions for difficult research tasks to be obtained. However, there are two problem zones in an integrative trend of knowledge – ontological and epistemological origin.The aim of the research was to reveal the potential of interdisciplinary research and integration of diverse directions from several disciplines by the example of musical psychology.Methodology and research methods. The provisions of the system-integrative approach and the concept of “meta-individual world” (MIW) were employed. The MIW theory justifies the heterogeneous, multi-qualitative, multi-determined nature of poly-systems.Results and scientific novelty. The subject field of musical psychology is outlined and characterised. It is shown that now it is shattered into multi-directional components from the field of psychology and musicology, which links are poorly articulated. The reason is not only in heterogeneity of basic psychological and musicological concepts, but also in the discrepancy of ontological status of objects and objects of two key structural components of the sphere under discussion. Nevertheless, there is urgent necessity for their cross-disciplinary integration and elimination of epistemological dualism in the development of scientific industry. The theoretical and logical grounds for the introduction of the concepts of  “musicological” and “psychological” musical psychology are obviously provided. Differences between them are shown: if the first is turned to a piece of music, then the second – to mentality of a composer and a musician. However, they generate unequal phenomenology and lie outside to each other, although they move in the opposite direction. Therefore, the need for creation of integrative musical psychology (IMP) as psychogenetics, psychophysiology, ethnopsychology or behavioural geography is recognised. As the integrative prototype, it is proposed to use the concept of MIW, which supports the pluralistic view on IMP, i.e. IMP considers individuality (personality, mentality, consciousness) and world (external realities, social groups, culture, art) in a coherent manner. The authors proposed the idea of musical psychology transcendence – bidirectional transitions from one its subject field to another. The main point of existence of such transitions consists in the emergence of the phenomena of otherness as the form (way) of overcoming gaps between subject areas of “psychological” and “musicological” musical psychology. The present research concretises and justifies the ways of formation and development of IMP and contributes to the methodology of social sciences and humanities.Practical significance. The research materials are of practical importance for education of graduates of musical and art specialties. In the teaching and educational process, it is necessary to use the potential of two aspects of musical psychology, but not separately, in order to form and develop in students the skills of transcendental perception and analysis of pieces of music.
