Felsefi pratikler eğitimde iyi-oluş aracı olarak hizmet edebilir mi

Philosophical practices have an important place in the tradition of philosophy as a way of life. In this thesis, I support the utility of philosophical practices in education. I begin with the idea that one of the objectives of education is to promote tools for individual well-being. In the first two chapters, I present an account of well-being which I discuss with the concepts of self-knowledge, authenticity, autonomy, resilience, and integrality. Next, I show that even if education aims primarily at communal gains, liberty, and cultural transmission, they do not contradict the wellbeing account that I present as the aim of education. In the last chapter, I introduce philosophical practices as tools of well-being and choose journaling practices as an example that can be applied to educational curricula. The thesis also aims to encourage pedagogues and psychologists to empirically work on these practices and choose the appropriate ones that can support well-being in education.
