John Wesley’s educational philosophy and practice was driven from his theological consideration. Wesley had much influence form his mother Susanna, whose educational philosophy and practice were one of the core foundations for establishing Wesley’s educational philosophy and practice. And also, John Wesley read a lot of books which made him to consider the condition of human nature. He exclaimed the urgent need of salvation and spiritual training for holiness life, which were the core theme in his education. In addition, John Wesley had some spiritual experiences especially within moravian movement, which made him to focus spiritual experience of the believers, such as conversion and holiness life at the field of education. In terms of children education, Wesley built and managed regular school like Charity School and Kingswood school, and encouraged Sunday school movement in order to make children have conversion experience as well as academic knowledge. When it comes to adult education, Wesley exercised group formation, which was represented by class meeting, band, and selected society. Wesley’s group formation was for adult education. According to Knowles (1973), adult learning means adult can learn through “self-directed learning”. But Wesley’s group formation did not show the possibility of self-directed learning because Wesley focused teacher’s role rather than learner’s role in his group formation. Many studies are needed in order to find out connection between the concept of Knowles’ adult learning theory and the exercise of Wesley’s group formation as a further study. And also, the study about some practical methodology suitable for the field of Christian education could be omitted because of the limit of paper. As a result, this paper suggested Wesley’s educational philosophy in the view of theological concept of human, philosophical consideration, and educational elements. This paper evaluated the value of Wesley’s theology and practices in the view of educational philosophy.
Abstract
John Wesley’s educational philosophy and practice was driven from his theological consideration. Wesley had much influence form his mother Susanna, whose educational philosophy and practice were one of the core foundations for establishing Wesley’s educational philosophy and practice. And also, John Wesley read a lot of books which made him to consider the condition of human nature. He exclaimed the urgent need of salvation and spiritual training for holiness life, which were the core theme in his education. In addition, John Wesley had some spiritual experiences especially within moravian movement, which made him to focus spiritual experience of the believers, such as conversion and holiness life at the field of education. In terms of children education, Wesley built and managed regular school like Charity School and Kingswood school, and encouraged Sunday school movement in order to make children have conversion experience as well as academic knowledge. When it comes to adult education, Wesley exercised group formation, which was represented by class meeting, band, and selected society. Wesley’s group formation was for adult education. According to Knowles (1973), adult learning means adult can learn through “self-directed learning”. But Wesley’s group formation did not show the possibility of self-directed learning because Wesley focused teacher’s role rather than learner’s role in his group formation. Many studies are needed in order to find out connection between the concept of Knowles’ adult learning theory and the exercise of Wesley’s group formation as a further study. And also, the study about some practical methodology suitable for the field of Christian education could be omitted because of the limit of paper. As a result, this paper suggested Wesley’s educational philosophy in the view of theological concept of human, philosophical consideration, and educational elements. This paper evaluated the value of Wesley’s theology and practices in the view of educational philosophy.
