Abstract :

AbstractThis study aimed to formulate a philosophical model of rationalism based on the three axes of thought, speech and behavior for the students of the philosophy of education. The study used a qualitative method to analyze the content of a collection of books, commentaries and articles on philosophy from the perspective of rationalism in three parts: thought, behavior and speech. Findings obtained in qualitative content analysis were compiled in the form of a researcher-made questionnaire and was given to a predetermined statistical population including experts in the field of education. The face of the researcher-made questionnaire was confirmed. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical methods (SPSS and Smart PLS). Findings of the qualitative part showed that the final model from the perspective of rationalism based on rational and logical principles in thought, behavior and speech for students of philosophy of education consisted of five indicators of goals, methods, challenges and gaps, elements and the consequences. The output of the qualitative stage of the final model from the point of view of rationalism, relying on rational and logical principles in thought, behavior and speech, also included the dimensions, factors and components of the model along with their factor loadings. Also, factor analysis in the quantitative part showed that each of these variables had acceptable fitting indices.
