Misconceptions of Educational Theory: Criticism based on Aristotle's View

Abstract

Theory plays an important role in performances, especially for educational contributions and research. Nevertheless, educators misunderstand the concepts of educational theory. Therefore, humanity must resurrect and review the roots of these educational theories to their fundamental concepts.

The findings of critical analysis illustrate (1) Theory, which refers to logical activities with contemplation or speculation that concur with knowledge of universal. The knowledge occurs from the concurrence between theory and standard. Also, it’s universal as the terms of logical generality with no time and place limitation. (2) Educational theory refers to theories related to methods, theories that explain those methods, and values or ideals of humanism. (3) The source of misunderstanding theory concepts is 1) Theory has not shaped knowledge. 2) Theory has not shaped the universal term. 3) Procedures lead the theory to the performance.
