Talk:Philosophy of education/to do

List the priority tasks needed to improve this article.


 * 1) Too much space dedicated to some/many of the people mentioned in the article, especially when/if there is a wikilink to a main article on said person/s. Content in this article should be a summary of what is developed elsewhere.  (See "Meatball Surgery" below).
 * 2) decide what to do with idealism, realism, pragmatism, existentialism, objectivism, Marxism, postmodernism, Cognitivism, and Humanism
 * 3) develop list of missing philosophers
 * 4) move theorists to Education Theory
 * 5) move educational movements to correct division: Behaviorism (philosophy of education), Cognitivism (philosophy of education), Humanism (philosophy of education), and Constructivism (philosophy of education)
 * 6) Fix the Plato section, as specified in the comments below The section on Plato is terrible: it equates the speculations of the Republic with a polished, finalized idea. Any time after 28 February 2008, merge in the Education theory article if there are no critical responses.  (Objection.  See below discussion).
 * 7) Someone suggested that we add a description of the "philosophy of education based on analytical school of philosophy".  If someone knows what that's about, feel free.
 * 8) The lead needs a major re-write as per Lead section.
 * 9) The Wikipedia article on this subject should include at least all the educators mentioned in the UNESCO-IBE profiles
 * 10) move Essentialism, Progressivism, Perennialism, Existentialism to Epistemology
 * 11) Complete redline articles linked to this page.
 * 12) Check citations
