The effectiveness of the aesthetic approach in teaching philosophy to develop some values among university students

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the aesthetic approach to teaching philosophy in developing certain values among university students. The study adopted an experimental design, with two groups: an experimental group taught according to the aesthetic approach and a control group taught using the traditional method. The total number of students was 120 male and female students, distributed equally with 60 students in the experimental group and 60 students in the control group. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher developed a values test. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group, which was taught using the aesthetic approach, and those of the control group, which was taught using the traditional method, on the values test, in favor of the experimental group. Considering the findings, the researcher presented a set of recommendations.
