FOREWORD

As a foreign student at STKIP PGRI – Sidoarjo, I have the privilege to study in a campus
that is unique. Not in terms of size or international recognition, but in the way it runs its
programs and how it focuses attention on its students. The atmosphere is conducive for studying
even if you do not have a class.

This book is one of the first group projects that I have been given the opportunity to
work with my peers. It comprises a compilation of presentations, questions and answers on the
subject “Philosophy of Education”.

Some may wonder how this book is unique. Well, it is not the view of only one person
but the views of many students at the campus, including myself, on the topic mentioned above.
When you read this compilation, you will find that each student has their own opinion on a
particular sub-topic and that the perception of each person is different.

Education and its philosophy is not something that can be limited to one book or one
culture, it is a continually developing sphere that keeps growing and changing direction as
society advances and moves towards the future. I believe that we cannot confine education to
any one method and that as times change, so must the processes, methods and theories.

While we, as students of life study in this arena, we must always keep an open mind to
new stimulus which may originate from people, events and almost anything in the world around
us. Many philosophers have given their opinions and that is what we study, however, one must
not consider that it gives us completeness. Education is something we all take part in until our
last day.

This forward is to remind all those who read it that, education never ends. From the time
we come into this world, we start learning. Our parents, teachers, friends, colleges,
acquaintances, strangers, leaders, elders all play an integral part in our learning and as long as
we keep ourselves open to new input, we will continue to grow and this book will help its
readers to broaden their perspectives and look at the “Philosophy of Education” in a different
light.
