Preface
The present work in your hand is the result of your appreciation of my following works in the subject for which I expressmy gratitude, indebtedness and heartfelt thanks to you.1. History and Problems of Education, Vols. Iⅈ2. Foundation in Sociology of Education;3. Doctrines of Great Indian Educators; and4. Doctrines of Great Western Educators.Educational Technology is a fast growing science committed to converting raw-hand teachers into really effective andefficient ones by equipping them with practical teaching skills and qualities of creative teaching. Teaching technology has,in recent years, undergone revolution in respect of new methods employed in teaching at different levels. New methodshas greatly enhanced the value of Teacher Education and has made teaching interesting, effective and purposeful.There is a practical need for bridging the gap between traditional and modern approaches of teaching and learning,because these days teaching strategies are touching new heights on account of modernisation as a result of interdisciplinary contributions, which need to be understood by future teachers and teachers alike. The work in hand is asincere effort in this direction.
