Front Cover
Taylor & Francis, Jan 14, 2004 - Education - 168 pages
This book was written with the belief that philosophy, the use of reason and argument in seeking truth and knowledge of reality, can assist with children's thinking, speaking and listening skills as well as providing a stimulus and structure for morals enquiry within the PSE/citizenship curriculum. Drawing on the authors' own research with primary children, this work addresses the issue of developing disciplined enquiry as an essential component in schooling and shows teachers how to develop this enquiry approach in their practice.
