In the following lines, we are annoying to create the meaning of education more clearly by explaining its constituent issues in better details:
• Not restricted to knowledge imparted in Schools:
Education cannot be limited to the processes of giving knowledge to children in the schools only. Its program goes on from birth to till death. In other words, every one learns something or the other throughout life by different experiences and activities. All of these counted in Education.
• Education as the Development of Child’s Innate Power:
Education is developing the native endowments of a child rather than something forced into the mind from outside of the children.
• Education as a Dynamic Process:
Education is not static but a self-motivated process, which develops the child’s activity and mind according to changing situation and times.
• Education as a Tri-polar Process:
1). John Dewey regards:
Education is a process of development.
According to John Dewey education has two features:
1) Psychological and (2) Sociological.
He declares that the development of a child does not take place just in vacuum. It takes place through the society in which the teacher and the child both live together in school life. Thus, it depends more on society, which will determine the aims, contents and methods of teaching. Thus, the process of education contains three poles, namely, (1) The teacher, (2) The child, (3) The society. These three features actively cooperate in the efficient and successful working of the educational process.
