of the course, students conduct practical tasks constructing the definitions of educational philosophy and
aspects of its urgency. Students discuss the content components of the philosophy (metaphysics,
epistemology, axiology) in connection with contemporary global and local issues of education. In the context
of five main philosophical schools (idealism, realism, neo-thomism, pragmatism, existentialism), students
analyze the structure, priorities, and philosophical contradictions of modern day educational system. During
the second part of the course, students search for connections between the schools of philosophy and
educational theories that are related to them. Besides historically significant educational theories
(essentialism, progressivism, traditionalism, behaviorism, etc.), doctoral students share their opinions on the
presently urgent theoretical trends connected with humanism, reconstructionism, futurism. A special
emphasis is put on the educational philosophy and educational theories that can ground globally and locally
important education for sustainable development. In conclusion, doctoral students acquire an inductive and
deductive way for construction of personal educational philosophy and discuss the positive and negative
aspects of both ways.
