Kalani expressed his gratitude to his teacher and described that, “I feel good [studying in this classroom]. Each chapter focuses on an important area of public … Think. Does altruism really exist?” (DR, 10/24) On another day, he explored ideas around morality. Freire, P. (1970). The class moved from the notion that their answers, thoughts, and questions were only “right” if students aligned with those of their teacher or textbook, and that only authority figures had correct answers and would explain “what is text about” and “how to answer this question” once they had finished reading (Miller, 2013). By the end of the semester, students all learned certain reasoning skills (i.e., to raise questions, to make assumptions, to use evidences, to apply the Good Thinker’s Tool Kit), as well as to make decisions and solve problems. Philosophical inquiry (PI), or the practice of “thinking together” and “thinking about thinking together,” is an educational approach that originates from philosophical pragmatism. All these challenges may result in Kanani’s absence from school. Perspect. Brain Cogn. Stated another way, as educators/researchers, we work out of a theoretical framework that is very closely related to our orientation to the world. The concept of intellectual safety is the most important feature of p4cHI approach to education. Learner-centered teachers view building relationships of care and trust as a prerequisite to academic engagement (Bluestein, 2001), including higher levels of cognitive thinking (Noddings, 1992, 2002). As more than 40% of the student population comes from low-income families, KHS receives Title I funding. “The problem of the environment,” in The Vygotsky Reader, eds R. Van der Veer and J. Valsiner (Oxford: Blackwell), 338–354. Rather than having differences divert the direction of the inquiry into an argument or popularity contest, an intellectually safe class will recognize, examine, and celebrate them. Third, students reported that they transcended their learning experiences by living a new philosophy that was acquired in the process of the community of inquiry. The class created opportunities for students to wonder, discover, explore, and imagine and allowed students to experience what that feels like. We started this tutorial with a review of philosophy, considering some of the core characteristics of philosophical inquiry. The p4cHI way of building up a community includes an application of the Hawaiian spirit of aloha. Kanani was not confident in sharing her ideas. The following documents help “uncover meaning, develop understanding, and discover insights relevant to the research problem” (Merriam, 2009, p. 163). At what point do they become irrelevant in our lives? This multiple case study uses multiple sources of evidence. This pedagogical approach involves logical questioning and broad discussions among students and their teachers. Thus, the two important particular features of p4cHI inquiry are the inquiry arises out of the interests of the students and begins where students are in their understanding. Yet many of the studies have been more focused on reading, critical thinking, and mathematical abilities than on academic engagement, social, and affective benefits. In the final take-home reflection paper (FRP), students reflected on their experiences in the PI course at the end of the semester. Because in other social studies classes, you are not allowed to say how you feel about certain things, you just learn it, you are supposed to read about it, and just accept what you read. They learned to put their engaging and dynamic reflections into practice. Third, students transcend their learning experiences by living a new philosophy. The roof is shaped like a triangle, similar to Maslow’s (1968) hierarchy of needs. Annu. If students pursue an activity out of genuine interest, their commitment will be both more persistent and more successful than those who do not (Armes, 1992).

Fourth, since environmental factors affect students’ learning experiences, it is necessary to create a safe and supportive environment in the classroom. During phase 3, three types of qualitative data, the CD, daily written reflections, and observation notes; focus group interview; and PIP and final reflection paper were triangulated in order to increase the trustworthiness of the study. “Philosophy for children Hawai’i: a culturally responsive pedagogy for social justice education,” in Inclusion, Diversity and Intercultural Dialogue in Young People’s Philosophical Inquiry, eds C. C. Lin and L. Sequeira (Rotterdam: Sense Publishers), 99–110. What Does it Mean to be Well Educated? Educ. Pintrick, P. R., and Schunk, D. (2002). Second, a social constructivist classroom is a highly literate place where students and teachers can exchange ideas effectively. Nahele reported that he built a better social relationship with his teacher, and described, I guess I feel afraid my teachers in a social level. As the community matures, the role between teachers and students began to blur, as students’ opinions increasingly influenced their teacher or changed their teacher’s thinking. 72, 66–72. Zyngier (2008) reviews the psychological definition of engagement as a combination of student behaviors, emotions, and cognitive abilities: Psychological definitions are commonly a mix of (i) behavioral aspects of the student as doing the work, following the rules, persisting, and participating, while (ii) the emotional aspects center interest, value, and feelings (negative and positive) toward the school, the class, and the teacher, and (iii) cognitive engagement (psychological investment) includes motivation, effort, and strategy use of students. Figure 1. PI students can “grow in their own natural self-actualizing ways” rather than get trained by imposed knowledge and skills (Schiro, 2008, p. 98). Toyoda, M. (2012). 11:449. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.00449. Chicago, IL: Open Court Publishing Company. They began to think about the purpose and meaning of their lives. Soc. At the end of the semester, each participant submitted two PIPs. It aims not only to solve common problems. Additional rigorous studies are needed to examine the psychological benefits of using p4cHI in the classroom. Psychol. It is at such times that the most truly practical thing to have is a theory. Educ. Data from student written work, classroom discussions, and field notes were analyzed, as they were collected. They experienced challenges in organizing their thoughts and articulating their ideas. What develops is a growing trust among the participants and with it the courage to present one’s own thoughts, however tentative initially, on complex and difficult issues. Jackson’s p4cHI has been adapted and expanded Lipman’s original P4C to serve the various populations in Hawaiian Islands. Thinking in Education. This awareness is necessary to create a less intimidating classroom environment, allowing for all students to be active contributors to the community of inquiry process. Erikson, E. H. (1963). More significantly, the students not only recognized their intellectual growth but also took ownership of their learning process. Self-determination theory: a macro theory of human motivation, development, and health. (1998). For instance, he expressed that: I think we are more engaged [without doubt]. Jackson, T. (2017). Kalani and Peleke were more reflective learners who typically developed ideas and questions in their minds before speaking. Trickey, S., and Topping, K. J. This case study is “interested in uncovering the meaning of a phenomenon” for the PI participants (Merriam, 2009, p. 5). doi: 10.1146/annurev.psych.49.1.345. 3, 1–18. Students engaged in philosophical inquiries using the Good Thinker’s Toolkit and Plain Vanilla (Jackson, 2013) on topics such as racial politics (i.e., race and ethnicity in Hawai‘i; what if there were no governments), and gender and society (i.e., Bel Hooks—feminism is for everyone; what is it like to be somebody else). Salient themes that appeared in each individual case study are reported in the format of concept maps and narratives based on the occurrence frequency that was shown in the NVivo software. What I think is right? Students enjoyed the academic freedom to explore meaningful and controversial issues that arose from their life and context. Miller, C. (2013). The study proved that education would cultivate a better self if we provide students with a time and space to reflect and reconnect within themselves, and with others and the world. Authentic, meaningful engagement, though observable, is an internal action. 44, 3–7. Philosophy for children has an enviable track record for promoting higher order thinking in children. The students were able to use the thinking tools practiced in the community of inquiry as a way to examine their own lives and frozen thoughts, and challenge their beliefs, which allowed them to create personal significance to the academic content. doi: 10.1177/1469787407081885. He learned to be open-minded and think critically. (12/18). Childhood and Society. Educ. To fill the void, this research examines how the PI course and p4cHI approach to education promote involvement of economically disadvantaged youth in academic engagement. Jones, T. (2012). Perspect. In order to address this problem to improve student learning engagement, this study explores the impact of philosophical inquiry (PI) on the development of adolescents’ academic engagement and adds to the scholarly research on Philosophy for Children (P4C). The inquiry memo data were collected after each Plain Vanilla discussion. This situation can be changed if schools “help the young make sense of life, of experience, and of an unknowable future” (Brady, 2006, p.47). This understanding gives way to a respect for opposing viewpoints and claims that often arise out of an inquiry. (2001). (2006). Mineola, NY: Dover Publications. doi: 10.3102/00028312037001153. 19CZX049. Doctoral. “We teach children certain rules of morality growing up. She appreciated that the PI course inspired to her to think outside of the box. In phase 2, using the method of constant comparison (Strauss and Corbin, 1998; Merriam, 2009), similarities, differences, and complementarities across and within participants were examined in a cross-case study analysis. In fact most people confuse Formal Philosophy with Informal Philosophy and assume that Philosophy is useless, dead, or nonsense. We ended up having this kind of discussions after lunch after school. Because you just walk in the class, you tell them, they just tell you this this, and then you go home, you don’t talk them. C—Are there any counter-examples to disprove what is being said? Miss Shiroma is like, I don’t know, you kind of like on a social level, because we know how she thinks and feels about certain topics. Doctoral. New York, NY: Norton & Company, Inc. Denzin, N. K., and Lincoln, Y. S. (1998). He used a counterexample to describe a class he disliked: “In ethnic studies, last year I didn’t know anyone and I hated that class” (DR, 10/20). I would say that this was the fun of this class in order to be able to take this outside.… my friend…started to really use all the terms, like what are the reasons, can I assume…. Educ. The teacher is the students’ coparticipant. Jones’ (2012) study found that the implementation of a student-centered curriculum that utilizes the p4cHI approach improved student cognitive, social, and emotional engagement, especially student’s perception of self as a learner. . doi: 10.1016/j.bandc.2009.10.007, PubMed Abstract | CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar. As a fortuitous byproduct of this newfound expanded perception, Nahele was more engaged in his thinking. When engaging in discussions, participants were exposed to multiple perspectives, which inspired them to reflect on their own thinking, examine personal beliefs, and then make changes in their lives. Many adolescents are out of touch with themselves, with others, with nature, with the environment, and with the time they live (Roberts et al., 2009). When students learn subjects that they are interested in and have autonomy in making choices, they tend to perform better (Pintrick and Schunk, 2002; Stipek, 2002). Jackson (2017) branched his viewpoints of bringing the primal wonderment of philosophy from opportunities to move away from Lipman’s novel and teacher manuals to put more emphasis on the building of an intellectually safe community influenced by the Aloha culture, the “little p” philosophy, the activity of coinquiry between the teacher and students, the context and content sensitive (Makaiau, 2010) learning experiences, and self-corrective reflection. How We Think: A Restatement of the Relation of Reflective Thinking to the Educative Process. In the traditional idea of the school, the student’s personhood is often ignored; their interests, questions, thoughts, personal experiences, beliefs, and curiosity have been disregarded in the process.

Implementing Philosophical Inquiry at Hillbrook is based on a fundamental belief that it will benefit our young people and the adults they will become. The most important reason is that the PI course was interesting, and he could be able to say how they feel about the subjects they learned. The PI class worked to create a learning environment that maximized each learner’s ability to interact with each other, especially with the teacher. New York, NY: Basic Books. Skye C. Cleary outlines five of these philosophical perspectives on why we love. In phase 1, all qualitative data were entered into the NVivo software, and initial open codes were developed to highlight major themes occurring in each individual case study. The challenges take the shape of a cloud, which means that although the students experienced confusion and struggles, these could nurture new realizations. Makali liked the PI course, “because there are actual community” (DR, 10/30). Campbell, J. This research will examine the effects of the PI course on students’ learning engagement. Motivation in Education, Theory Research, and Applications. 44, 8–19. J. Philos. Noddings, N. (2002). Second, asking questions, sharing ideas, listening attentively, thinking deeply, and making connections are the manifestations of an engaging classroom in the PI process. However, he also argued that in the classroom, philosophical thinking associated with wonder did not need to be based solely on the Western academic perspective of philosophy, which he called “Big P” philosophy, such as metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and practice, that is grounded in the Western model of argument such as reasons, premises, and conclusions. Miller’s (2013) research showed that an overwhelming majority of KHS students thought school had no meaningful connection to their lives outside of school. In particular, we saw how scientists reflect philosophically on their activities and methods. J. Philos. Peleke realized that even though he had a disagreement or argument against an idea or one person, he could still examine its benefits. University of Montana, College of Humanities and Sciences, Philosophy Department. Bluestein, J. Boston, MA: Beacon Press. One reason for disengagement is that adolescents do not fully appreciate the value of academic achievement and successful schooling experiences (Eccles et al., 1998; Marks, 2000). For instance, Kanani exhibited low self-efficacy in her thinking. There was also what Jackson (2017) called “little p” philosophy that stems from the wonder, questions, and thinking of the students with which we all begin our life. The PI class ran for 8 weeks. When I didn’t wanna share, I think this is the first day in our class, I didn’t wanna share, but then I also feel I have to take the risk in sharing in order for our task to move on. Any given eld of inquiry can have philosophical roots and ex- tensions. The following section will introduce the meaning of engagement and demonstrate p4cHI researches on adolescents’ academic engagement. Perspect. Based on the frequency count in the NVivo software, the reasons that six participants felt engaged in learning in the PI course are (a) the PI class created an intellectually safe environment that fostered students’ learning and development; (b) participants inquired together into the topics and questions that they are really interested; and (c) participating in communities of philosophical inquiries broadened their understandings of themselves and others. Toshalis, E., and Nakkula, M. J. After all, philosophical inquiry lends itself to the careful examination of abstract topics, including the study of meaning and logical reasoning. Noddings, N. (1992). While education and schooling increasingly strive to integrate technology into teaching and learning, high-speed Internet and social communication tools do not seem to strengthen the internal and physical connections among students and communities (Xu, 2013).

A—What is being assumed? Why thinking ‘outside the box’ is not so easy. The findings of this study revealed that there is a strong connection between the level of student personal engagement and student academic and personal success. Philosophical Inquiry is a form of thinking that finds its origins in what is uncertain in experience. Students were recruited from the PI course at KHS in Fall, 2014. Collaborative philosophical enquiry for school children: socio-emotional effects at 10–12 Years. 9. Pseudonyms are used to protect the identities of the four girls and two boys. The goals of the PI class are to integrate students’ experiences, consider their interests, support active participation, deepen their thinking, and encourage multiple opinions, which are closely connected with Dewey’s educational philosophy. p4cHI is an innovative approach to education that transforms the schooling experience by engaging students in intellectually safe communities of inquiry where students and teachers continue to develop their ability to think for themselves in responsible ways (p4cHI website, 2020). The National Research Council published a comprehensive study concerning the lack of engagement in today’s public high schools. Applying a qualitative method, this multiple case study developed a deeper understanding of the classroom contexts, conditions, discourses, tools, and practices that promote positive adolescent learning experiences. He observed that children did not think as well as they could or should in a democratic society. These views see student engagement as something students do and that teachers can organize for them (p. 1769). What is Philosophy? Ethics and Public Policy: A Philosophical Inquiry, second edition subjects important and controversial areas of public policy to philosophical scrutiny. It was not easy for teachers to move from the text to “Leading Ideas” to the use of “Exercises” and “Discussion Plans” provided in the manuals. Princeton, NJ: Van Nostrand. Zyngier, D. (2008). Schiro, M. S. (2008). In the student qualitative data, the most important reason for students to engage in learning, or the most salient theme that appeared, was that the PI class created an intellectually safe environment that fostered students’ learning and development.

Educ. Teachers are not only facilitators through asking questions such as, “What do you mean by…” or “Could you use a specific example to explain…,” but also participants by contributing their own thinking and ideas to the inquiry. Teachers were often the more capable peers (Vygotsky, 1978) in the classroom, especially in the beginning that pushed students to think deeper and broader. As the students were able to overcome these assumptions and realize that their personal experiences, genuine thoughts, once supported by solid evidences and reason and taken seriously by the teacher and the community, they began to intrinsically engage with their learning. They created a living philosophy and applied new learning in how they made decisions and lived their lives. Deci and Ryan’s (1991, 2008) research summarized that autonomy, competence, and relatedness are the conditions that nurture intrinsic motivation. 24, 1765–1776. According to Nahele, the uniqueness of the community ball was that students became respectful and attentive while sharing thoughts. A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful is a 1757 treatise on aesthetics written by Edmund Burke.

Nahele commented after the PI course, he still wondered about the topics discussed in the classroom. The level of engagement and collaboration, and the excitement among the PI participants while engaging in Plain Vanilla activities reshaped their learning into an esthetic experience because it was full of life and its own form of beauty and spontaneity. This means that in addition to being interested in the academic needs of the students, teachers are deeply concerned with the social, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physical state of learners. • Is itself a philosophical task, and so is understanding what is it is. Knowing students’ concerns and motives, the PI course was designed to include, but not limit, and to integrate students’ experiences and prior knowledge, consider their interests and needs, support active participation and discussion, deepen their thinking and inquiry, and encourage multiple perspectives. Makaiau, A. S., Shiroma, S., Miller, C., and Fukuda, R. (2014). Kanani’s data indicate that peer acknowledgment and support had a strong positive impact on her academic engagement. Prior to the PI class, the students and teacher coconstructed a definition of intellectual safety and made a community ball to facilitate their turn taking. One current crisis in education is that students lack real interpersonal connections. Benefits of collaborative philosophical inquiry in schools. Think. The studies involving human participants were reviewed and approved by the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Although contemporary formal education helps students gain tremendous external knowledge, accumulate skills and wealth to become good citizens, and become members of the working force, emphasis on the basics of human life and existence such as health, happiness, and human values is too often overlooked or entirely missing throughout the worldwide educational systems (Ozmon and Craver, 2007). A considerable number of empirical studies into the effects of P4C have been conducted (Sutcliffe, 2003; Trickey and Topping, 2004, 2006, 2007; Garcia-Moriyon et al., 2005; Topping and Trickey, 2007), and they have produced strong support for the practice of P4C or philosophical community of inquiry, in terms of cognitive, social, and emotional benefits. It assists students in making connections in their own thinking, between their emotions and their thinking, and other aspects of their self. Makaiau, A. S. (2013).
