Praxiology is the
study of human action and conduct. Its root is in the
Greek word "praxis" meaning to do, or the practice of
an art, science, or technical occupation. Praxiology
refers to the knowledge of practices which is
recognized as one of the four major domains of
knowledge --- [Formal1;
Descriptive2; Prescriptive3;
Praxiological].
Praxiology is perhaps
best represented in higher education within certain
professional schools and departments including law,
engineering and medicine. Within these disciplines,
training is largely designed around a clinical or
professional body of subject matter which serves to bring
about what is valued - or what ought to be - through
action.
The focus of the
Complete Teacher™ program is on the praxis of
teaching, especially as it relates to the pre- and
in-service preparation of teachers. In this regard a
model was developed (Complete Teacher™ Model) to
provide a simplified representation of the major role
areas in which teachers must, by the very nature of their
job, exhibit a high degree of competency. The model then
served in the identification of desired teaching
competencies; the selection of all training content and
components; and the development of the Complete
Teacher™ criterion-referenced delivery
system.

Formal: The knowledge of the fundamental disciplines
which serve as the tools used to order all other
knowledge. Mathematics, logic, and linguistics are prime
examples of such fundamental disciplines.
|

Descriptive: The knowledge of scientific disciplines
which seek to establish facts about phenomena and events
and describe their interrelationships. The physical
sciences, the biological sciences, and the social
sciences are representative of descriptive
knowledge.

3
Prescriptive: The knowledge of the disciplines comprising
the humanities and fine arts which deal with beauty,
truth, and goodness. Art, literature, and religion are
sources of prescriptive knowledge.
