TINKERING ON EDUCATIONAL MATTERS USING PHILOSOPHICAL TOOLS. I would like to do two things in this paper. First, to describe briefly what is commonly said to be an academic or theoretical research. This is a broader category which could include quantitative or qualitative research depends, to some extent, on one’s acquaintance with relevant theoretical or academic research. For example, how could one’s research be epistemologically credible if it could be shown that the author is not acquainted with some disciplinary problems relevant to one’s research, say, problems of validation procedures? My second task is to do philosophy, as distinguished from talking and knowing about it, on some educational matters and to describe it in parts. In conclusion, I state some benefits of analytic philosophy of education (used interchangeably in this paper with philosophizing) for school teachers. A College of Education is both an academic unit of a University and a professional school. Its professional commitments and academic requirements are not necessarily incompatible. They are, however, sufficiently distinguishable, one from other, serving different interests. I contend that it is by attending to its academic commitments and responsibilities to a University that a College contributes significantly ...... appropriate scientific and empirical information. “Unless these normative declarations,” says a professor ”are grounded in conceptual clarity, they would be mere rhetoric.” Or, they would be emotive statements, which could succeed in arousing positive emotional responses from us.
