Emerging Trends In Education
About Education:
Education is the process used to develop the knowledge, skills or character of students.
The only purpose of education is to teach a student how to live his life-by developing his mind and equipping him to deal with reality.
Training should be theoretical and practical.
Objectives: The aim of education should be to teach
us rather how to think, than what to think—rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.
In Olden Days: The formal admission ceremony was known as
“Upanayana”. In this, the child had to leave his home for the
'ashrama' where he would receive education. Sanskrit was the language of teaching. The academies of higher
learning were known as
“Parisads”.
The education system involved of three basic processes, which included “Sravana”, “Manana” and “Nidhyasana”.
In the “Sravana” stage, students received 'shrutis' knowledge, which was passed orally from one generation to another.
The second stage was “Manana” which means that pupils had to think themselves about what they have heard.
The third stage “Nidhyasana” means complete comprehension of truth and its use in the life.
In Middle 50’s: A child was admitted to school at the
age of five. His/her education pattern was as follows:4 years - Primary school education7 years - Secondary school education4 years - Graduation2 years - Post graduation=A total of 17 years
At Present: The present educational system of India is an
implantation of British rulers. Wood's Dispatch of 1854 laid the foundation of
present system of education in India. The main purpose of it was to prepare Indian
Clerks for running local administration. Under it the means of school educations were
the vernacular languages while the higher education was granted in English only.
Advanced Technology: While the role of computers in society has
grown exponentially over the last few decades, technology has had problems making an effect on education.
New systems are being designed every day that are more affordable and can offer a higher standard of education.
Effects : By supplementing teacher instruction with technological aids, students are presented with enriched lessons from which they can learn more information and retain it longer.
Computers in the Classroom : By allowing students to access background information and lessons via computers, they can learn at their own pace.
