Abstract

Philosophy for Children (P4C), developed by Lipman in the 1960s, is a process that fosters children's independent thinking, encourages teacher-student dialogue, promotes questioning skills in children, and utilizes open-ended Socratic questioning by teachers. The objective of this study is to examine the research published in the field of education related to P4C using bibliometric mapping analysis. To achieve this, the study analyzed the overall trends in scientific studies on the P4C concept in the Web of Science database up to the present. VOSviewer was employed to analyze and visualize the obtained data. The research findings revealed that the highest number of scientific studies on P4C were conducted in the USA in 2017. Within the scope of this study P4C, which is multidisciplinary in nature, is limited to educational research and it was observed that the concept primarily appeared in the subject areas of philosophy, history of social sciences, interdisciplinary social sciences, linguistics, developmental psychology, and educational psychology. Furthermore, P4C demonstrated connections with other domains such as science education, teacher education, school leadership, critical thinking and work ethics, self-regulated learning, parenting, religious education, and phonological awareness.

Özet

Çocuklar için Felsefe (Philosophy for Children-P4C) Lipman tarafından 1960’lı yıllarda oluşturulan çocukların daha bağımsız düşünmelerini sağlayan, karşılıklı öğretmen-öğrenci diyaloğunu ve çocukların soru sormalarının teşvik edildiği, öğretmenin açık uçlu sokratik sorgulama yöntemini kullandığı bir süreçtir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, P4C ile ilgili eğitim alanında yayımlanan akademik yayınların bibliyometrik haritalama analizine göre incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Web of Science veri tabanında P4C kavramı üzerine yayımlanan eğitim alanında akademik yayınların günümüze kadar olan süreçteki genel eğilimi incelenmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analiz edilerek görselleştirilmesinde VOSviewer kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucuna göre; P4C ile ilgili en fazla akademik yayının 2017 yılında ABD’de gerçekleştirildiği görülmüştür. Araştırma kapsamında çok disiplinli bir yapıya sahip olan P4C kavramının eğitim araştırmalarıyla sınırlandırıldığında en çok felsefe, sosyal bilimler tarihi, disiplinlerarası sosyal bilimler, dil bilimi, gelişimsel psikoloji ve eğitsel psikoloji konu alanlarında çalışıldığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca farklı alanlardan fen eğitimi, öğretmen eğitimi, okul liderliği, eleştirel düşünme ve iş etiği, öz-düzenlemeli öğrenme, ebeveynlik, din eğitimi ve fonolojik farkındalık kavramlarıyla da ilişki içerisindedir.
