Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The role of philosophy has gradually been minimized in initial teacher education (ITE) despite the benefits it can bring to teachers. One of the reasons it has been marginalized is because of the way it was being offered. I outline some relatively neglected critiques R. S. Peters laid out against the historical survey method of teaching philosophical foundations, as well as some of his suggestions for how to integrate philosophy of education into ITE. Backed up by more recent proposals by philosophers of education, I argue that some of Peters’ suggestions could help address some of the pressing challenges facing teacher education today. I then consider how these suggestions could be incorporated into a philosophical foundations course for ITE. I argue that setting in motion and maintaining a learning process about more effective ways of integrating philosophy into ITE would help us make the case for its meaningful (re)introduction.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
