In this article as a result of the "Therapeutic Chess" project, which is a new teaching technique designed with an interdisciplinary method on kindergarten-primary school children, the increase in ...children's interest in chess lesson and expressing themselves in mathematics, music, painting, puzzle solving, board games and philosophical level. It has been observed that the students' ability to learn how to act has increased, and it is aimed to contribute to the socialization, normalization process of children who have experienced trauma, to introduce this technique to more widespread use and to transfer it to teachers.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of training for "Philosophy for Children" on Moral development of sixth-grade male elementary students, in Educational District NO.6 in ...Tehran. The research was a quasi-experimental one with the pre-test and post-test design involving both experimental and control groups. The (statistical) population consisted of all sixth-grade male students of the Educational District No.6 in Tehran in October 2017, among them15 subiects were selected through convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned into two groups. The instruments of the Spiritual-Moral Development (1391) Scale measured both these groups(experimental and control) in the pre-test stage. Then, the experimental group were trained for P4C in 8 sessions using the educational package of stories for Iranian children, but the control group did not receive any training. The above tools were used in both pre-test and post-test stages. The data was analyzed by means of one-variable covariance analysis. The results showed that the implementation of the independent variable caused an increase of the scores on moral development in comparison with the control group.One of the main goals of the philosophy program for children and adolescents is to strengthen thinking in childhood. Accordingly, the training of wise, self-conscious, precise, responsible, moral, social, researcher, critical, self-critical, and ... persons will be accomplished by this program.
Philosophy for children is one of the most important and comprehensive approaches to teaching children how to think. It uses various methods such as games, movies, animations, discussions, and ...stories to teach children how to think philosophically. One of the tricks that can be used as an effective means to achieve the goals of this program is the category of "humor". On the one hand, humor is related to the themes of philosophy for children, such as democracy, moral virtues, creative and critical thinking, social interaction, discourse and routine experiences of children, and on the other hand, it is close to Iranian humor culture and spirit, which will have a positive and effective function in the philosophy program for children. Humor can also play a role in increasing the literary richness of such stories, attracting the children of the audience' and influencing them through philosophical stories without disturbing the functions of philosophy by playing a role in characterizing, releasing and reinterpreting signs in children's philosophical stories for children and contributing to achieving the goals of this program. Extended Abstract Philosophy for Children is one of the most effective new curriculum and educational approaches currently being voluntarily implemented in 150 countries around the world. In this program, various methods such as games, films and animations, discussions and stories are used to teach children how to think philosophically. The main tools used in this program are stories and the community of inquiry. The stories should be written in terms of philosophical richness and literary richness according to the standards of philosophy for children. Philosophical richness refers to the philosophical content and literary richness refers to the charm of a story to attract children's attention. In this study, the category of humor was introduced and the function it can have for the philosophical and literary richness of Fabak's stories as well as for the development of the Community of Inquiry. On the one hand, humor establishes a connection with the topics of philosophy for children, such as democracy, moral virtues, creative and critical thinking, social interaction, discourse, and daily experiences of children, because humor requires being in a group and being influenced and affected in a pleasant way. and on the other hand, it is close to the culture and humorous spirit of Iranians, and for this reason, it will have a positive and effective function in the philosophy program for children. because the alignment of the methods used in the Fabak program with the culture of the audience is one of the requirements for the successful implementation of this program. In discussing the literary richness of stories, humor, by creating philosophical characters, releasing and decoding symbols, plays an effective role in increasing the literary richness of these types of stories, attracting children and influencing them from philosophical stories. These characteristics make humor an effective element in the philosophy program for children, which effectively achieves its goals without disrupting the philosophical and literary richness of this program.
•A total of 83 studies on Philosophy for Children (P4C) were reviewed.•Based on the studies a directed acyclic graph (DAG) was created.•The DAG highlights the variables and causal relations that ...affect the effectiveness of P4C interventions.•The study provides instructions on how to use the DAG for future research and how to create new DAGs from systematic reviews.
Philosophy for Children is an educational program designed to cultivate critical, creative, and caring thinking. Despite empirical research since the 1970s, there is no unified theoretical model that explains the causal structures behind the program's effectiveness. To address this gap, our study seeks to answer two key questions: (i) What variables are identified in empirical research into the effectiveness of Philosophy for Children? (ii) Which causal relationships can be postulated between these variables? Based on a review of seven published systematic reviews and meta-analyses and 83 empirical studies, we construct a directed acyclic graph (DAG) that illuminates the variables and their causal relations which impact the effectiveness of Philosophy for Children. Additionally, our study provides a detailed description on how to use this novel methodology to create a causal model from a systematic analysis of empirical research.

Cilj ovoga rada je predočiti kako se jednim inovativnim pristupom nastavi filozofije može učinkovito odgovoriti zahtjevima propisanog kurikuluma, odnosno doprinijeti ostvarivanju očekivanih ishoda ...poučavanja, međupredmetne povezanosti, formativnom praćenju i vrednovanju učeničkih postignuća, kako bi se dosegnuli odgojno-obrazovni ciljevi predmeta. U ovome radu autori, razmatrajući strip kao svojevrstan nastavni medij, odnosno primjenu stripovne metode u nastavi, na primjeru jednog razrađenog scenarija za nastavni sat filozofije u gimnaziji pokazuju kako je moguće kombinirati stripozofski pristup nastavi filozofije s pristupom filozofije za djecu, koji imenuju »stripozofijom za djecu«. Filozofija za djecu kao i stripozofski pristup nastavi filozofije izrazito su komplementarni (imaju skandalonski i dijaloški karakter, potiču intelektualnu znatiželju učenika, razvijaju kritičko i kreativno mišljenje, stvaraju pozitivno i poticajno okružje za učenje), što omogućuje njihovo učinkovito kombiniranje.
The aim of this paper is to present how an innovative approach to teaching philosophy can effectively meet the requirements of the prescribed curriculum, and contribute to achieving the expected learning outcomes, interdisciplinary teaching and learning links, formative monitoring and evaluation of student achievements, to achieve educational subject goals. In this paper, the authors, considering comics as a kind of teaching medium, i.e., the application of the comic method in teaching, on the example of a scenario for a philosophy lesson in high school show how it is possible to combine a comics approach to teaching philosophy with philosophy for children. Philosophy for children as well as the comic book approach to teaching philosophy are extremely complementary (they are provocative and dialogical, stimulate students' intellectual curiosity, develop critical and creative thinking, create a positive and stimulating learning environment), which allows them to be combined effectively.
The authors of this essay have been committed practitioners and teachers of Philosophy for Children in a variety of educational settings, from pre-schools through university doctoral programs and in ...adult community and religious education programs. The promotion of critical thinking has always been a primary goal of this movement. But communal practices of critical thinking need to include other kinds of democratic conversation that prompt us to see others as full-fledged persons and to be curious about how our being in community with them makes growth and self-correction possible. As we continue to experiment and innovate in new contexts we see ourselves continuing the inquiry around expanding the inclusivity of conversations about basic human concerns. In this essay we describe an inclusive strategy called the story circle, that was first developed as a method of popular education in Denmark and was then adapted as a tool of social change among poor and dis-empowered American citizens in Appalachia. Story circles were later utilized in a philosophical living-learning community and most recently coupled with Lipman and Sharp’s dialogue method of the community of philosophical inquiry (CPI). The authors of this paper have combined story circles with the community of philosophical inquiry in a variety of contexts. In each iteration, telling one’s own story and listening carefully to the stories of others can be equally revelatory actions.
