Education is a social science that encompasses teaching and learning
specific knowledge, beliefs, and skills. Licensed and practicing
teachers in the field use a variety of methods and materials in
order to impart a curriculum. There has been a plethora of journals,
magazines, books, and digests in the field of education that
addresses these areas. Such literature addresses the teaching
practices, with subjects that include lectures, game playing,
testing, scheduling, record keeping, bullying, seating arrangements,
interests, motivation, and computer access. However, the most
important factors in any teacher's effectiveness is the interaction
with students and personality of the teacher. The quality of their
relationships provides the impetus for inspiration. The best
teachers are able to translate good judgment, experience, and wisdom
into the art of communication that students find compelling. It is
their ability to understand and overcome prejudices, generate
passion, and recognize potential that enable teachers to invigorate
students with higher expectations of themselves and society at
large. The goal is aiding the growth of students so that they become
productive members of a migratory society. An imparting of culture
from generation to generation promotes a greater awareness and
responsiveness through social maturity to the needs of an
increasingly diversified global society. |
It is widely accepted that the process of education begins at
birth and continues throughout life. Some believe that education
begins even earlier than this, as evidenced by some parents' playing
music or reading to the baby in the hope it will influence the
child's development.
Education is often used to refer solely to formal education.
However, it covers a range of experiences, from formal learning to
the building of understanding through day to day experiences.
Ultimately, all that we experience serves as a form of education.
Individuals receive informal education from a variety of sources.
Family members and mass media have a strong influence on the
informal education of the individual.
The word education is derived from the Latin educare meaning "to
raise", "to bring up", "to train", "to rear", via "educatio/nis",
bringing up, raising. In recent times the myth has arisen of its
derivation from a different verb: educere, meaning "to lead out" or
"to lead forth"; however the English word from this verb is "eduction":
drawing out. This false etymology is used to bolster one of the
theories behind the function of education—to develop innate
abilities and expand horizons. The philosophy of education
The philosophy of education is the study of the purpose, nature
and ideal content of education. Related topics include knowledge
itself, the nature of the knowing mind and the human subject,
problems of authority, the relationship between education and
society, and so on. At least since Rousseau's time, the philosophy
of education has been linked to theories of developmental psychology
and human development.
Fundamental purposes that have been proposed for education include:
**The enterprise of civil society depends on educating young people
to become responsible, thoughtful and enterprising citizens. This is
an intricate, challenging task requiring deep understanding of
ethical principles, moral values, political theory, aesthetics, and
economics; not to mention an understanding of who children are, in
themselves and in society.
**Progress in every practical field depends upon having capacities
that schooling can educate. Education thus is a means to fostering
the individual's, society's, and even humanity's future development
and prosperity. Emphasis is often put on economic success in this
regard.
**One's individual development and the capacity to fulfill one's own
purposes can depend upon an adequate preparation in childhood.
Education thus can attempt to give a firm foundation for the
achievement of personal fulfillment.
