Discussion: * What is philosophy? * Remote from the usual human interest and quite beyond normal comprehension. * Extremely complex intellectual activity. * A form of Inquiry – a process of analysis, criticism, interpretation and speculation. (Singer – 1990) * The search for the ultimate, conducted by reason, in order to satisfy man’s curiosity about himself and the universe. * Why study philosophy? * Makes a man think – think about the basic foundations of: * His beliefs * Outlook in life * His knowledge * It is from our human needs and immediate concerns * What is philosophy of science? * Set forth principles more basic and comprehensive than the conclusions of individual sciences. *...

Section 2: Communications Plan The development of a plan to integrate technology into the learning environment in a classroom is a process that needs careful research and planning (Vanderlinde& Van, 2013). As a new educator I do feel confident that if set up for success this is possible. When it comes to communication it very important that teachers use technology as a tool to enable communication to take place easier and faster, with their students and parents. Being a teacher I find it necessary to allow all types of communication to be possible. When doing so it is proven that the parent and family involvement leads to better academic achievement (Kervin, Verenikina, Jones, & Beath, 2013). As a teacher I am a strong believer that communication from parent to teacher is a must for students be become stronger learners. Being a new teacher I need the help from parents...

Historically, philosophy was the first form of theoretical knowledge. As a rational theoretical tool of comprehending the world, philosophy arose in ancient Greece in stiff battle with mythology and religious consciousness.

The study of the History of Science...
