This document outlines several philosophies of education including essentialism, perennialism, existentialism, progressivism, reconstructionism, linguistic philosophy, behaviorism, and constructivism. Each philosophy is defined by its aim, the teacher's role, its focus areas, and trends. Essentialism focuses on essential skills and the 3 R's, with the teacher as the sole authority. Perennialism cultivates intellect through classical subjects and enduring curriculum. Existentialism promotes education of the whole being as unique individuals through self-paced and self-directed learning.
