As an aspiring Doctor of Philosophy major in Educational

on the existing traditional and contemporary philosophies.
(Consider the philosophies underlying the K to 12 program
implementation)
Philosophy is at the heart of curriculum development. It helps educators in formulating
beliefs, arguments, and assumptions and in making value judgments. Philosophy develops a
broad outlook, and it also helps in answering what schools are for, what subjects are
important, how students should learn, and what materials and methods should be used.
Philosophy provides the starting point . . . in decision making about education in its totality
(Ogwara, et. al, 2013).
