- Abstract
This article actualises importance of philosophy of education and educational science, Paralelly, emphasis is laid on contradicting approaches to modern philosophy in present situation, in the context of which, a problem regarding variety of interpretations of Lithuanian education philosophy emerges: interpretation variations of its place, purport, links with education, search for origins related to increase or decrease in its impact. There is an opinion that philosophy of education in Lithuanian receives insufficient attention, that its continuity has been violated and that it is on the decline. Though contribution of some earlier (S. Šalkauskis, A. Maceina) and contemporary Lithuanian authors (L. Josaiša, B. Bitinas, K, Pukelis, etc.) to establishment and propagation of systems and schools of education philosophy, a scarcity of more active followers is clearly felt. On the other hand, such impression may occur due to the fact that the ideas of the above mentioned philosophers and thinkers are not properly reflected, discussed and that their importance to changes in both education philosophy and educational science is not sufficiently clarified or actualised. Considering all the aforesaid, the philosophy of professor B. Bitinas based on long-term researches in issues of methodology of education theory, theory of upbringing and other education-related problems, which laid foundations for theoretical philosophical analysis of education reality is the object of the research The aim of the article is to achieve at least partial actualisation of professor's approaches to keystone problems of education philosophy highlighting its significance to contemporary education science: 1) purpose, objectives and trends of education philosophy; 2) relation between education philosophy and educational sciences; 3) philosophical foundation of goals of education; 4) axiology of education and its relation with theory of upbringing. Having analyzed education philosophy of professor B. Bitinas by the selected aspects, it can be stated that its importance to contemporary science of education is firstly justified by the attitude to purpose of education philosophy, as cognition of education reality, which is linked to general problems of human existence and search for origins of education goals. The objectives of education philosophy, determined by the author are of no less importance. They orient to analysis of education concept and perspectives of its implementation, link between development of the society and education interaction of philosophical thought and pedagogical idea, influence of philosophical systems on formation of pedagogical conceptions, key problems of education and developmental perspectives of education science, Secondly, the professor has determined relation between education philosophy and educational sciences, attributing to educational sciences an intermediary role between education reality and philosophy of education and renouncing direct relation of education philosophy and education practice and through that, denying the attitude to education philosophy as a substitute of education theory. On the other hand, conclusions regarding substantiation of link of education theory and education philosophy by the context of a particular culture and substantiation of independence of educational science object are very useful to educational science. Implications regarding criteria of classification, selection and evaluation as well as conclusions related to nature of interaction of education technologies as an intermediary link between education theory and practice, and changes in educator's role and survical in the process of transformations in education technologies are of huge value.…
