Abstract

Amidst the many calls for teaching critical thinking in our schools, this chapter argues that what is most important for education is philosophical thinking. The p4c Hawai'i pedagogy offers an approach to further philosophical thinking in schools while reconceptualizing what “philosophizing” entails. This chapter then presents the key elements of p4c Hawai'i pedagogy as a proven way to help develop teachers and classrooms that cultivate philosophical thinking. These elements are presented not only for K-12 classrooms but in the context of redesigning teacher education programs. This chapter is not presenting a program or curriculum but instead highlights key areas of change. Colleges of education must restructure their approach to current teacher preparation programs in order to instill, model, and foster the type of teaching that we wish to produce in our educators.
