The ‘Mixed Ability group’ focuses on discovering each student’s individuality, uniqueness, and potential. Of course, ‘potential’ must take into account an individual’s genetic limitations. However, in this ‘mixed ability grouping’, it can be maximized through equalization of environmental factors. And above all, the role of the teacher is important, and the role of the teacher in this grouping must take into account the principle of ‘equality’. This is because it cannot be concluded that students with low immediate achievement levels do not have potential.(Ibid., 9) This means the ‘principle of equality’ or ‘egalitarianism’ also means ‘equality of opportunity.’ Just because a country in the Western world has a Christian worldview, it obviously has no right to refuse entry to immigrants from the Islamic world or Eastern third countries. The Rationale “In this chapter we shall be concerned to articulate and comment on what we see as the central arguments used by teachers and others in ed...

[Review]Routledge Library Editions: Philosophy of Education (1)

 “The book has a second and complementary purpose which is linked to its appearance in this series of Introductory Studies in Philosophy of Education.
