Definition of Academic Discipline
An Academic Discipline or field of study is a branch of knowledge that is taught and researched as a part of higher education.
According to ZONGYI DENG "An Academic Discipline is a field or branch of learning affiliated with an Academic Department within a university, formulated for the advancement of research and scholarship and the professional training of researchers, academics, and specialists.
Education as a Science and Arts
Science is a systematic
and precise body of knowledge in a particular field of the world. It seeks to
discover the general laws regulating the phenomena in that field through
observation and experiments. As per this definition, education must be taken as
a science since it is a systematic body of knowledge accumulated through ages
by observation and experiments. It has its own theories and laws for
arrangement and organization of educational activities. Education has been
developed as a science during these recent years.
Similarly, art is used in two senses (i) one for
producing something beautiful, e.g., singing, dancing, painting and (ii)
another for applying knowledge in realizing some useful ends, e.g. surgery,
engineering. As per this meaning, education should be regarded as an art since
it attempts to make human activities beautiful and meaningful. It utilizes the
knowledge and techniques of its own and other disciplines like psychology,
economics, philosophy and so on.
The latest trend “educational technology” consists
of all media, methods and materials being utilized for optimum development of
education. That is, the results of different sciences are being utilized in
education for the growth and development of the individual as well as the
society.
On the whole, education maybe
regarded both as a science and art since it consists of theoretical as well as
practical knowledge and skills derived through various artistic and scientific
methods and aims at achieving desired objectives by applying them in human
behaviour and practices.

Need of Philosophy
Philosophy uses the tools of logic and reason to analyze the ways in which humans experience the world. It teaches critical thinking, close reading, clear writing, and logical analysis; it uses these to understand the language we use to describe the world, and our place within it.
