En savoir plus sur le livre
'Towards a Philosophy of Education' is Charlotte Mason's final work in her Homeschooling Series, offering a comprehensive overview of her educational philosophy, including her 20 Principles. Aimed primarily at parents of children aged 12 and up, it also serves as a valuable resource for those with younger children. The book is divided into two parts: the first elaborates on her principles, while the second focuses on practical applications of her theories. Mason, a late nineteenth-century British educator, advocated for viewing children as individuals deserving respect, rather than mere blank slates. She emphasized the importance of enriching children's minds with living literature and vital ideas instead of rote facts. Her gentle, flexible approach includes exposure to great ideas through literature, art, music, and poetry, alongside nature observation for early science education. She advocated for hands-on learning in mathematics and emphasized character development and good habits. While her method is teacher-directed, it allows for sufficient free time for students to explore personal interests. Although rooted in Christianity, her educational philosophy is successfully utilized by secular families and those from various religious backgrounds.
