CAPTURE (PREPARATION):
What is your philosophical disposition?
(Ebert and Culyer, 2012)

Read the statements below and mark the four statements that you consider most
important with regard to education and teaching. You might find yourself struggling
between two or three of them, but try to identify the four that you consider to be the
most fundamental perspectives.

1. There are certain works of literature, such as the Odyssey, Romeo and Juliet, and a Tale of Two
Cities that everybody should read.
2. The job of the schools is to produce citizens who can improve our society and solve the problems
it faces.
3. We use science even more than we think we do. For instance, we use it in cooking all the time, so
it is necessary that people understand basic science principles such as forces, motions, and
changes in states of matter.
4. We must understand math in order to survive in the world. For example, we use math when
measuring things or when buying something. We need to know basic math because it is part of
daily living.
5. Things change, fads come and go, but certain values remain the same, such as honesty, integrity
and personal responsibility. This is what students need to learn.
6. A child knows what his or her interests are, and that knowledge should guide the curriculum.
7. The problem with children today is poor parenting, and the best way to solve that problem is for
the schools to teach adolescents how to become good parents.
8. Students should learn to appreciate beauty in the world because beauty is eternal. For instance,
paintings that were considered beautiful hundreds of years ago are still considered beautiful
today.
9. If the country is to survive, we must share the same values. All children should learn those basic
values at school, as well as at home.
10. If children are to function effectively in society, schools should provide them with experiences
that reflect society, such as exercises in democracy and good work habits.
11. Our public schools should level the playing field by providing equal opportunities for the social
and intellectual development of all the learners.

12. We can begin solving the problems of the future by what we teach children today.
13. School is about more than just what’s in books. It includes how one lives his or her life,
worthy home membership and wise use of leisure time.
14. Math is a constant; the idea of 2+2=4 does not change. Children need to learn these basic
and enduring lessons.
15. The language of the US is English, so everybody ought to learn, read, write and speak
proper English.
16. Schools educate individuals, not masses. The emphasis of schools should be on the
development of each individual.
