The use of practical philosophy tools for the development of creative and critical thinking in children (Master class)
Presentation Language: Russian
Philosophical
practice - this recently emerged trend in modern education has already won many
followers around the world. Philosophical practice develops in children the
skills of analysis, reasoning, posing questions, reasoned debate, the ability
to listen and understand others. In a game adapted form, children get the
opportunity to reason on vital topics, learn to comprehend and be aware of
their values. "Philosophy for children" is a qualitative development within the
framework of the "Thinking of the 21st Century" concept: clarity, structural,
sharpness, flexibility, innovation, and depth. The master class will be
interesting for both experienced philosophers and practitioners, and those who
are just planning to work with children, as well as for all teachers who are in
search of methods for developing creative and critical thinking of children.
The structure of the master class: 1) acquaintance with the origins of the
method (if necessary, if the audience will be dominated by novice p4c
practices); 2) the practical part is an interactive exercise with active
facilitation (interpretation, building a dialogue, argumentation, work with
hierarchy); 3) analysis of experience. Methodological comments: demonstration
of the diversity of materials (stimuli) and areas of work, opportunities of integration
with various general subjects, presentation of the work of the Children's
Philosophical Club (Moscow).
