Teaching children's philosophical knowledge can improve their academic performance

Release date: 2016-03-15

Philosophy is a very high school in our minds. It seems that only after reaching a certain age can we have the honor to enlighten. However, a recent study has shown that if children have access to and learn about philosophical knowledge, it will help them grow.

Last year, an article published by British scientists pointed out that if students in grades 4-5 learn some philosophical courses, they can learn not only philosophical ideas, but also their regular course grades. To the positive role.

The researchers selected more than 3,000 students from 48 elementary schools in the UK to participate in a course called "Children's Philosophy."

These children who participated in the philosophy course have greatly improved their mathematics and reading skills compared to their peers who did not participate in the course.

What makes sense is that the course itself is not about teaching children specific knowledge, but about developing their self-confidence in asking questions, asking questions, and engaging in meaningful discussions with others.

The course focuses on articles and questions about philosophical issues, as well as exploring definitions of truth, justice, knowledge, friendship, and fairness.

Students in this class are often asked to answer the question: “If a person doesn’t care about their health, can they ask for the heart of other donors if they have a problem with their heart?”, “People Is it inappropriate to wear religious clothing in the workplace?

The researchers found that these children's reading ability improved significantly in 4 months, and the mathematics level also improved significantly within 3 months. Progress in writing skills began to manifest only after two months.

In addition to the improvement in academic performance, this course also brings some universal benefits to children. This suggests that philosophical education in primary schools may be beneficial to their growth.
