Inspiring high student performance through an integrated philosophy of education.

- Abstract
Whether students in collegiate and graduate courses in philosophy of education are given grades must be considered in view of the principle that some kind of evaluation or assessment is persistently essential in the classroom and in the workplace. If this were not the case, goals would be useless and progress would be meaningless. Asking each student in a philosophy of education course to submit a personal statement of his or her philosophy of education and evaluating it without assigning a letter grade has its pitfalls. Nevertheless, my experience has demonstrated that students will be motivated if the task is perceived as personally and presently significant. A teacher in the classroom and a supervisor in the workplace can contribute to the possibility of such an outcome in various kinds of projects by explanation and example.
