A Comparison of Existentialism and Scholasticism in Teaching Methods: A Philosophical Analysis and Its Implications in Education

Musthafa Bashir

Abstract


This article aims to compare the teaching methods based on existentialism and scholasticism, with a focus on their philosophical implications in education. Existentialism, which emphasizes individual freedom and the search for meaning in life, offers a more flexible and personalized approach to the learning process. In contrast, scholasticism, rooted in medieval tradition, places greater emphasis on logical reasoning and the acceptance of dogma in education. Through a philosophical analysis, this article explores the fundamental differences between these two schools of thought in the context of teaching, and how each approach impacts student development and educational goals. The implications of these philosophies will be discussed in terms of their effectiveness in shaping student character and critical intelligence in the modern era. Thus, this article provides insights into the important role of philosophy in shaping future educational methods and objectives
