Hello everyone
I'm looking for some resources about the perspectives of analytic philosophy on education. For example i want to know the role of teacher and students according to this school of thought or the methods it suggests.
Thanks

Logic 101 seems to be as good a place to start as any. If A = B and C = B then B = A = C.

I'd imagine the role of both would be quite traditional and of the respective namesake of each. The teacher is there to teach logic, ensuring students avoid common logical fallacies, and the students are there to learn.

Coding is a good medium as it simultaneously requires and teaches analytic logic.

R. S. Peters. Treats education as initiation, developing a liberal view of education using analytic techniques.
