1 - Relation Between Education and Philosophy and Philosophy of Educ 1
Education has two applications – one is in the form of process and second is the
result of that process. When one says that his/her education is going on fine, then
education means process here. But when one says that he/she has received higher
education, then it is the result. But modern academicians accept education as a process
only. They are of the view that in any process, result is inherent. At present, result of
education process is expressed in the form of knowledge, ability and behavioral change.
The center of thought for scientists are physical world and its objects
and activities. They look at any object and activity objectively. As regards
innate powers of humans, they agree with psychologists and with
sociologists for behavior aspect of humans. They accept education as tool
of development of human powers to make it conducive as to the
environment. In the words of Herbert Spencer:
1.9.5. In wider sense, the method of education is very wide, but in narrow
sense it is regulated.
1.9.7. It is clear from above facts that there’s a change in the nature of
education with a change in religious philosophy, composition of its
culture, governance, economy and scientific development of any
society. Thus, nature of education is dynamic.
