SYMPOSIUM II Dialectics as a Methodology in Educational Psychology

Abstract

Applicability of dialectics to educational psychology had also been discussed at the general symposium of the Annual Convention of Japanese Educational Psychology in 1955 and 1967.
In the present age of educational chaos, is seemed to be significant to reconsider this theme as an up-to-date matter for the purpose of reorganizing and settling the educational disputes.
First speaker Prof. K. Naito offered a present-day problem of dialectic epistemology and its application to educational psychology especially in terms of mathematics and fine arts. Prof. N. Nishihira also discussed the application of dialectic theories to adolescent and educational psychology. Dialectics concerning human relations by Prof. K. Matsumura and research on the racial problem from dialectic point of views by Prof. M. Sera were presented.
