This section would be better as a link, unless or until other sections are similarly expanded. Scottmains (talk) 04:40, 9 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
Isupport merging "Education theory" into "Philosophy of Education". To me it means the exactly the same thing. Even if it doesn't, there seems to be sufficient overlap in material to warrant a merger. Gregcaletta (talk) 01:42, 3 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Per WP merging guidlines, I'm removing the merger tag and assuming consensus to keep the article as is for now. If someone wants to re-tag for merger and re-open the discussion, that can be done.--Lhakthong (talk) 17:36, 20 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
This page needs to be updated to differentiate between theory and philosophy; also, include update with recent info from neuroscience. NPOV Stmullin (talk) 21:31, 5 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
This list can get really, really long. Perhaps we should create a list on its own page and/or just list contemporary/still-living theorists on this page?--Lhakthong (talk) 21:21, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
I think that making criteria is a good idea. It would seem ideal to have to list contain "notable" theorists, if it is reasonably possible to make that distinction. If not, "contemporary" is the way to go IMO. Lexandalf (talk) 05:34, 26 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Some of those theorists are located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructional_theory which would make the 2 articles candidates for merger. Stmullin (talk) 21:35, 5 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
I found an article that provides an interesting overview of the history of educational theory, and calls for people to stop worrying about educational theory. I hope to work the content of it into this page if it does not get merged with Philosophy of education.
Carr, W. (2006). EDUCATION WITHOUT THEORY. British Journal of Educational Studies, 54(2), 136-159. doi:10.1111/j.1467-8527.2006.00344.x.
Now that the lede is more robust and referenced, I think the rest of the article should follow the organization structure implied in it. I wanted to ask other editors about this before I reconstruct the whole page only to otherwise have it reverted. I propose organizing the page as such:
This, of course, assumes education theory to not be a specific academic activity or discipline. Rather in its speculative form it refers to thought in several disciples: curriculum, pedagogy, and learning, to name a few. In its descriptive form, theories sit in many disciplines like sociology, psychology, etc., I think much of the confusion on this page has stemmed from not attending to these distinctions. If you want to get all po-mo on me an tell me that descriptive theories are normative, I get it and am willing to somehow work with that. But let's try to do this in a way that makes sense to the average reader.--Lhakthong (talk) 02:00, 19 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
The sentence with the examples for the purposes of normative education gives instances which are POV. This is so as the source of the information is the recent publications of Gov. of US DOE, which are politically biased. The most objectionable instance was 'change agent', which reeks of propaganda. However, the entire sentence was deleted as the examples are particularly modern and US-Centric. Considering the multitude of cultures and the varieties of schools and education systems therein, many of which are normative, the sentence is not reflective at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apurvasukant (talk • contribs) 08:35, 28 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Do we have a verifiable authoritative source that lists the specific sub-groups in the article as subgroups of educational theory? For example, the section on normative theories starts with a cited definition about what such a theory is in education.--Lhakthong (talk) 02:55, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Could we establish a Super-team to edit this article?Stmullin (talk) 16:29, 24 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
