Part A: (20%)
Write your philosophy of education. This philosophy must come from the heart based on
your own self-reflection and soul-searching. For example, you may want to focus on why you
teach, your goals of education, what you feel strongly about the curriculum, assessment and so
forth.

As Erickson I admit that education is a universal stage. During this stage, individuals
experience uniqueness which is said that one has to pass from one to the next stage in genuinely
general. Despite the fact that they feel one of a kind when enters a classroom I will help students
in making the transitions. Besides I will also guarantee that students feel protected and
comfortable with an environment full of nurturing and enriching. I personally feel that in the
end goal children should get advantage from my class, I myself as teacher must completely
comprehend the significance of my job. It should be agreed that education significantly
influence the lives of numerous children and gives establishment for a child to set up an
arrangement for their future. I will ensure that my class doesnt comprise students whom
containing progression of facts to be utilized on a test and after that overlooked yet will be
contains a movement of apparatuses that students use in their normal lives.

In the first place, I trust that myself as teacher must acknowledge teaching to a way of life
not a minor forty hour week work. My goals for envelop significantly more than handing-off
outside of any relevant connection to the subject at hand actualities to detached students.
Moreover as expert depended with the education of young minds, I willing to encourage
learning and develop academically, personally, and morally. By giving a quality education to
every individual in my classroom, Im ready to outfits children with the tools important for
accomplishment in life. I affirm that my students will got genuine education incorporates three
principle. They are a committed teacher, a motivated student and parents association. Without
all this three ingredients I consider education will be meaningless.
My first ingredient is being a hardworking teacher. As well-known, teacher is the most
important part for constituting a genuine education. I conceded that they aren't some teacher
taught what should be thought to students. Its perceptibly that a few people just needs who
will essentially comply with the guidelines of education or admit what being is taught is
constantly genuine. I opine that to be a genius looks for their truth for themselves. Besides
being teacher to teach students reality empowers our society to raise potential geniuses. I
unequivocally agree my conduct ought to reflect values for example resistance, empathy, and
liberality.
My personal goal for my classroom is to challenge students and watch them develop to
their maximum capacity. I want to take my students at diverse levels and see them grow
together for the advancement of every person. I feel that group work is the way to having a
fruitful class and is something I esteem. This because in group work, when students offer
kindred students it changes each students and changes the atmosphere of the class as a whole.
In my classroom, I want students to have neither freedom nor flexibility that allows them to
expression and inventiveness. Ordinarily, students should to have the capacity to explore
different avenues regarding likes and dislikes to understand their strengths and weaknesses.
There after this base is created, the curriculum modules can be formed to tie in students
learning style.

During beginning of the year, its understandable for me to lead class discussions but
towards the end of the year students had pose their own questions and attempt to answer them
independently. I feel it is advantageous for my students to at times work for the answer as
opposed to being told because extends their knowledge. Despite I feel through this I teaches
them how to discover data in an assortment of ways. As an educator, it is not only imperative
for me to help the students that Im teaching additionally give them bearing to help other
people.

My next education ingredient is to motivate student. As teacher I saw that students learn
differently. Thusly to vanquish this distinctive strategies are expected to help various students
to gain information of what is being taught. Generally, I had seen my student attends class to
have fabulous time instead of learning. I wonder why this is happing and attempted to make
solution. After observe, I understand that students getting to be exhausted with rehashing what
theyve learned in their earlier years. It can be acknowledge as true, since I need to follow
curriculum I couldn't escape from these. Consequently, as teacher I must stride in and
demonstrate to my students that learning is important. I know how valuable my consolation
and inspiration is for individual. I intend to motivate students while teaching them to be
characteristically motivated through challenging yet supportive lessons and assignments.
Myself as an English teacher, I craving to help the students understand and keep on finding out
about their language, while building up gratefulness for language. Moreover, I aim to prepare
my students for writing and offer them some assistance with developing the abilities they
requirement for writing essay. Furthermore, I trust it is also imperative to help the children
develop their social and connection aptitudes, to work with activities.

In other word, Academic learning must start with motivation and inspiration. Therefore,
students deserve me for their passion learning subject as a whole. Likewise teaching and
learning become a synchronous adventure for me and students. At the point when students
vitality is stimulated by my genuine intensity for adapting so they are prepared and willing to
take an interest in dynamic learning. Identically, to accomplish dynamic learning, I exhibit
excitement and express confidence in student' capacities so they learn and be effective. For that
I would utilize constructivist methods of teaching in my classroom so I can compel students
play a dynamic part in their education by making decisions and accepting obligation for
intelligent inquiry and discovery. As illustration discussions, projects and experiments
guarantee student achievement also permit students to find student's inclinations and strengths.
I finish up this approach encourages separated activities for every student unmistakable
ambitions making the subject more important to student life.

My final ingredient is parents involvement. I emphatically agree parents are a key


ingredient to grow genuine education. I believe that parents who aren't included in their
children's education just block the endeavors made myself and students to make a genuine
education. These parents are frequently uninterested with their children's education in general.
I prescribe that when a child attends class, the guardian ought to help me in teaching their
children. Essentially, while at house the child ought to be asked continually, about school and
what they learn. This demonstrates an involvement of parent.
. Simultaneously, I feel that classroom organization is also a key concept to consider when
teaching. I consider that if my classroom is sloppy or set up in a way which hinders learning,
it is not a good situation for anyone. To conquer this I have to discover imaginative, better
approaches to have the room set up and to help my students learn. I additionally trust in teaching
content that is significant applicable and welcoming to students. On the off chance that they
don't see the purpose of the subject matter then they won't be occupied with it. I additionally
believe that high energy levels and an inspirational mentality from the teacher are key
components to a fruitful learning environment.

I will endeavor to create a meaningful classroom environment for my students. In order


to produce a meaningful environment and obtain a huge learning result, it is essential for me to
create real world connections .I admit this will incorporate student -centered learning to utilize
technology to create persistent growth and to keep up a strict control over the classroom while
staying approachable.

At first I found it critical to create real world connections in the classroom while delivering
a student-centered learning environment. Im frightened students don't trust they will utilize
classroom material in their future, they will consider lessons to be inconsequential, pointless
and not worth their time. Keeping in mind the end goal to accomplish one's destinations, I must
make the material significant to their students. I prefer to choose material identified with
English language since it noteworthy to each students future. For example whether one is
making resumes, writing job applications, applying to school, composing scientific reports,
creating a business or presentation. As English is urgent to accomplishing ones goal. I clarify
how every lesson will help students in their future attempts. It is also vital for me to urge
students to use English in a way that is significant to them.
In short as teacher, it is basic to recollect appreciating students and everything they have to
offer. Sometimes it can be a battle yet in the event that something turns out badly there is
dependably an approach to settle the problem. Regardless, there is dependably the ability to
roll out improvement. I will always make my learning be fun and energizing. My classroom
will be an intriguing and safe spot where children will feel comfortable. In essence true
education ingredients will be served in my class every day. All three ingredients must be
utilized as a part in order for it to be fruitful. I authenticate that once I serve the true education
to each student, loaded with the ability to have a prosperous future and further their instruction.

In choosing to become a teacher, I have made the dedication to myself and my future students
to be the best academic personal and moral role model I can be. It is my objective to have a
mutually enriching teaching profession a receptive outlook and persistently corresponding with
my peers and students. I am prepared to adapt to present challenges of teaching in the 21st
century. I guarantee to attempt to provide an honest, well-rounded education to every student I
encounter.
Part B: (40%)
Select ONE eastern philosopher (e.g. Tagore, Confucius, al-Farabi) and ONE western
philosopher (eg. Plato, Locke, Rousseau).

Critically compare each philosophers views on the aims of education

Before I begin comparing about the philosopher, I would like to give a brief about the
philosopher that Im going to analyze. Here I had chosen Confucius from Eastern and Plato
from Western for me to make comparison.

Firstly I would say about Confucius Eastern Philosopher. He was born in 479 BC in Quyi
in the realm of Lu. His dad was a minor authority, died when Confucius was still a child indeed
left the family in destitution. At the point when Confucius completed school, he did a reversal
to his home in Lu and turned into a teacher there. He attempted to enter politics turned into the
executive of open works in the town of Zhongdu .Later on priest of security and equity for the
realm of Lu when he was 50.

Unfortunately it did not work so he quit and left the city. Confucius spent the remains of
his life going around China. He goes with his supporters unsuccessfully clarifying his political
feelings and moral precepts to leaders. Frequently they did not like his thoughts once he was
thrown in jail for five days. When he was 67, Confucius did a reversal to Lu and finished his
last ages with composing and educating

Correspondingly, Confucius took long lasting get a kick out of learning and additionally
teaching while lived to see his notoriety for being a refined knowledge spread far and advanced.
Prior to time, subordinate the Zhou Dynasty educating occurred inside of government
workplaces and was administered by open authorities. General education was right of the
respectability, refused the basic individuals and there was no thing as permanent teaching
profession. Indeed, young privileged people got a common and military training in view of six
arts. There are rituals, music, bows and arrows chariot driving, calligraphy and arithmetic.
Confucius life concurred, was checked by savage changes as Chinese society taking into
account slave proprietorship was changed into a primitive society. Rather than that, the political
and monetary supporting of education by organization was breaking down and culture was
gaining a more prominent base. In breaking the privileged restraining infrastructure of learning
and setting up a private academy that was open to rich and poor alike. Confucius was moving
with his times. His teaching proclaimed is keen on everyone without capability.

Meanwhile, Plato was born in upper class family in Athens in 427 B.C. Plato started his
philosophical profession as a student of Socrates. Likewise, when the master passed on Plato
travelled to Egypt and Italy, there he learnt mathematics and spent several years educating the
decision family concerning Syracuse After he came back to Athens and set up his own
Academy to teach good values to the elite youth of Athens. It was to improve them to be better
leaders of the society. Moreover it was a renowned hotbed of philosophical and scientific
discussion viewed by numerous as the first known university in the world.

Plato demonstrates his capacity of writing in diverse fields. They are ethics, music, drama,
poetry, metaphysics, dance, architecture which are the perfect types of Government.
Commitment of Plato in scientific subject is little yet his thoughts on education roused his
supporters to investigate new measurement in education. It has been known to familiarize the
minds of children with two aptitudes rhythms and melodies which turn out to be more
humanized more balanced and preferred adjusted. Rather than that he additionally went to
gymnasium for physical training which he wrote later that it was imperative a person has a
good mind and a good body to serve it.

Above I had given a small introduction about both Philosopher. Now I would like to explain
about their aims in education.

Now I would begin with aim of Confucius on education. According to him he focuses more
on kindness or humanity. For him practicing benevolence generosity was a definitive objective
of education .Moreover he exhibited that education assumes a crucial part in improvement of
society and of people alike. Besides that he said that not just does it offer a method for
guaranteeing the matchless quality of virtue, it can likewise adjust human instinct and enhance
in subjective terms. On the other he encourage that by raising individual good benchmarks, it
renders individual completely more virtuous. Also the empire is well managed, deliberate and
well behaved to degree thats all inside of take after the way of justice. Rather than that, he
urges supporters not to concede even to their teacher with regards to routine of generosity.
While practicing generosity a person has not ready to force on others desire.

Confucius dependably points that Doctrine of Mean that the development of the route is to
be done through mankind and that development is called education. In substance education
ought to aim to raise the level of individual ethical quality to expand good level of society.
Comparatively, the staff and political pioneers of the medieval period were all pervaded with
these standards the vast majority of them stressed that education improvingly affected people ,
advanced request and security all through the area consequently it ought to be on created.
Generally, concern for tutoring steadily come one of the colossal customs of Chinas medieval
society. The educator errand is to figure out what sort of creature he is must shape.

Coupled with this Confucius decried preference and the death of office from one
era of patrician to the following that won amid his time. He prescribed arrangement as per merit
and advancement of the capable. Similarly as above objective of schooling was to deliver
proficient people (xiancai) whom he additionally called shi (men of honor) or junzi (men of
value) join capability with value and whose ensuing professions in organization and
governance would realize the perfect of a specialty made with trustworthiness. This extreme
stand oppose the standard of genetic transmission of posts was image in the arrangement.
Preparing and delegating authorities that was later received in primitive society, also served as
the hypothetical premis.While for the determination procedure presented under the Han
Dynasty, later for the majestic examination technique that would be taken after all through the
Sui and Tang Dynasties up to the fall of the Manchus. It was also central to the feudal education
framework as a whole. Markedly Confucius stated that education was for all men, without
exception his students originated from the reduced and additionally the largest amounts of
society, and to enter education was accordingly expanded considerably. He assumed that
opening the entryways of adapting all more broadly, he hurried the improvement of general
tutoring in Ancient China. Along these lines contributing both to political change and to the
dispersal of society.
Plato aim on education is differ bit from Confucius According to him he believed is the
knowledge of Good to sustain a man to a better human being, it is not merely an attention to
specific advantages and delights. Plato's philosophy of education aims at preparing learners for
future life. This preparation for the future life is practically dismisses by cutting edge
instructive savants like Rousseau and Dewey. Be that as this dismissal of the aim to ready
children for future life does not in any sense strip Plato's thought about its essentialness even
in the 21st century. Even Heidegger wrote in his essay On Plato's doctrine o of truth
unmistakably settled the importance of Plato's idea for the 20th century and those comments
are well taken even in the 21st century. Platos hugeness lies in giving a reasonable
comprehension to educators about the significance of diverse ideas that showed up in the talk
on education in the history. These ideas include thoughts, reason, goodness, metaphysics,
dialectics, sense perception, representation, ethicalness, art as a medium of instruction,
motivation and truth.

On the off chance that one takes a gander at these ideas, one can easily find that in any
discourse on educational philosophy, these words show up. Plato's philosophy helps us in
comprehension these terms. He had utilized cave analogy to suggest. Firstly, he said education
ought to individuals from their false suppositions and feelings, instead of tying them inside of
the cavern as did their earlier education. Moreover he said that the sun is seen as reality which
ought to be looked for possessed and comprehended by people. Next is education ought to look
to free the detainees from their false assessments and feelings. In order to accomplish this
student ought to go to reality all alone instead of by force. It must be worthy that all people
have inside of them the capacity to know, however it ought to be centered on knowing the truth.
Plato believes that education should seek to teach children how to recognize right from wrong
by demonstrating every bit of relevant information. Hence he used to say that one ought to not
egotistically stay outside of the cave instead the educated must come back to the hole to
illuminate others.
Plato has explained his aim throughout policy in education too. Plato built up his concept of
educational approach in his two biggest works that is Republic and the Laws. In the Republic
Plato built up his idea of the perfect state which epitomized equity. The point of education is
not self-improvement yet rather administration of the state, which is the satisfaction bliss of its
natives for whatever length of time that they permit it to be the embodiment of equity. One of
the errands of education in the Platonic state is to preserve the status quo.All innovation is
unthinkable. As opposed to most cutting edge educational standards education must stand roll
out preparations for all improvement and a wide range of subversion. The guardians must
themselves completely to the administration of the state. It's imperative they may not have
material riches, they may not enjoy frivolities nor might they empower private yearnings

Notwithstanding his compelling conservatism in any case, Plato had some very
imaginative thoughts. For example, he embraced equity of the genders during an era when
women, were restricted to the family unit. In the Platonic state girls and boys, do their vaulting
bare and are required to go to war clad in the same fortification as the men. They share the
boys education, with no separation between them. Plato endorses obligatory education for all
in the guardian class. Mandatory educating goes a long ways past a rudimentary education yet
Plato has very little to say about the education of crafts workers and traders. It comprises of
close to a basic apprenticeship, and slaves got no notice at all. Without a doubt was the first to
figure a complete education system covering each perspective without a doubt was the first to
figure a complete organization an itemized educational programs. In the Laws Plato depicts
how education ought to be sorted out and managed. The entire education system ought to be
going by a Supervisor of Education, who might regulate all parts of education for posterity of
both genders. He ought to take care of business of at the very least 50 years and the father of a
genuine family, in a perfect world of both genders.
Critically compare each philosophers views on curriculum (what should be taught) and
proposed teaching methods (if indicated)

Confucius view on curriculum

According to Confucius, the twin mainstays of education ought to be moral guideline


which would have need and the bestowing of wisdom. To make it interesting, Confucius had
separated his curriculum in two ways, they are Moral education and Various Subjects.

Firstly, I would begin with moral education. Moral guideline which had to take pridefulness
of spot, subsequent to what was required was people of extraordinary righteousness. It might
help the ruler in administering honesty, in this way turned into the premise of Confucian
teaching. In concession to the hobbies of the primitive landowning class, Confucius reorganize
the ethical ideas of the past and declared a progression of new guidelines .The intended is to
put a conclusion to the political turmoil and good debauchery of the times. Then his idea of
good guideline laid on primitive ethical quality and progress which was focused on humankind
or benevolence (Ren) which additionally connotes love for one's neighbor. Moreover the virtue
shows itself in a wide range of interaction between individuals comprises of the accompanying
qualities. Example of qualities are obedient devotion, regard for the Elderly dependability,
respectfulness, generosity, fidelity, diligence, altruism, approachability, graciousness,
cheapness, resistance, liberality, insight and boldness.

Furthermore, it also helps in evading all types of abundance, advances courage in the face
of challenges. Even it also help to recognizing what must developed from what was to be
shunned and energizes fair with equitable conduct. Besides these qualities stem from Ren
which charges people to indicate shared sensitivity, anxiety and appreciation to watch more
than each other. All together that every one of these statutes may serve to improve the
obligation of people and society alike. Confucius focused on that every man ought to develop
excellence and ought to get an ethical education. Thanks to individual endeavors in that
regard, there would be request in home members issues and the nation would be all around
administered. General population would live in protection and peace would all over win. In
addition, moral education was in this way for Confucius the methods whereby his thoughts
concerning prudence may be materialized. As the author of primitive Chinas working system
he characterized its fundamental substance out his idea of good direction and set up rules for
its further progression. His morals can additionally be said to have arranged the entire system
of convivial connections in medieval China.

Secondly is curriculum based on various subjects. Confucius was just as worried with the
intellectual improvement of his trains that is to say with the teaching of society, capacities and
aptitudes With a specific end goal to impart the ethical estimations of medieval society in them,
the nuts and bolts of an all-round society and the limits required to practice official liable .He
had drafted six manuals which were thought to be the establishment of educating and learning.
The names of the books are the Book of Odes (Shi), the Book of History (Shu),the Book of Rites
(Li), the Book of Music (Yue),the Book of Changes (Yi),and the Spring and Autumn Annals
(Chunqiu). These educational works bargain basically with sociable relations and with morals.
Additionally address an extensive number of different topics, including rationality, history,
legislative issues, financial aspects, society and musicianship, constituted the first moderately
far reaching showing manuals in Chinese history.

Markedly, The Book of music has been lost, however the five other Confucian classics
served for more than 2,000 years as the premise for education in primitive feudal China until
1919. No place on the planet has some other educational work ever been alluded to with such
consistency over such a long stretch. Other than the six classics which were intended to give a
general society. Confucius teaching additionally secured the six arts. They are rites,
musicianship, archery, chariot-driving, calligraphy and mathematics. The reason for which was
to bestow aptitudes and ability through work on. According to Confucius study of the six
classics, combined with dominance of the six expressions would instill sound good sense and
a strong social establishing that were fundamental for the equipped activity of open office.
Established in political and good standards, Confucian education is concerned exclusively with
what constitutes the makings of the man of value and with the tools that the authority must ace.
Common sciences are not really touched upon exchange and farming are totally overlooked.
Another extraordinary element of the educational hypothesis and routine of Confucius and the
primitive teachers who succeeded him hatred for difficult work and those occupied with it.After
all except for a couple minor changes, the substance of education kept on mirroring the
decisions and needs settled by Confucius all through the medieval period.
Plato Curriculum

Now I would like to explain Plato Curriculum. Firstly he proposed about Music and Physical
Education. Music is important since the wellbeing and magnificence of both body and psyche
are fundamental goals of Platonic education. In keeping with Greek custom is divided into two
sections they are gymnastics and music. Along with these physical education begins before
birth. Pregnant as are encouraged walk around and move about however much as could
reasonably be expected, for each kind of development is imperative to the unborn infant.
Secondly curriculum is on Mathematics and Astronomy. Special tension is next put on the
investigation of the four shows that set up the understudy for philosophy on arithmetic,
geometry, astronomy and harmony. From mathematic he created arithmetic and geometry frees
the brain from sensation, acquaint it with the universe of immaculate thought and turn the spirit
towards the statures of the universe of ideas. Indeed, astronomy starts the spirit to the request
and unchanging agreement of the cosmos.

Thirdly, curriculum is for Pre-School. Pre-school education is the obligation of folks who
are to treat kids with watchful order, because spoiling of children makes their tempers touchy,
fractious and effortlessly resentful about insignificant wastes of time. On the contrary treating
children with extreme control makes them spiritless, servile, and dreary and renders them unfit
for local what's more, municipal life. Fourth is Curriculum on Culture. The teaching of society
starts right off at an early stage through the stories folks tell their children. Plato joins the best
significance to the substance of these stories, for early introductions shape the still flexible
personalities of children and decide their character. Therefore, such stories must pass the edits
investigation. Plato puts a solid and off rehashed stress on censorship, not saving even Homer.
Fifth curriculum is on Games. Next to stories games ought to add to the education of children.
He who is to be extraordinary at anything as a man must practice that thing from ahead of
schedule youth and moreover conclusively. In this way, if a boy is to be a decent manufacturer,
he should play at building toy houses.
Finally curriculum for school level he had partitioned accordance to age. From the ages
of 3 to 6 children ought to play together under the supervision of women allocated to that task.
Children enter school at the age of 6. They first figure out how to read, write and count.
compose and tally. For perusing and composing three years along these lines, from the age of
10 is a reasonable recompense of a childs opportunity. If the handling of the lyre is started at
13 the three after years are sufficiently long to spend on it. At the age of 18, toward the end of
this fundamental education period during which they will have experienced numerous
challenges and examinations of different types. Young people both boys and girl is required to
give themselves solely for a time of a few years to physical and military training. At the age of
21 students chose on the premise of their past performance go on to higher studies. It is this
level of studies which prompts to philosophy. At the age of 30 and not before, Platos students
at long last start to study philosophy or dialectics. A In the wake of seeking after this course for
a long time they must return and serve for a long time in the armed force and the common
administration, where they are always put under a magnifying glass. At the age of 50 those they
will then devote the then give whatever is left of their lives on the other hand to philosophy
and public life.

Teaching Confucius Methods


Both philosophers have their own way of teaching method. If we have a look to Confucius,
relentlessly set up together an arrangement of teaching-learning principles. Firstly he said to
furnish students with an education that coordinated their aptitudes. Secondly, need to rouse and
direct them to lead by stages.

Thirdly is to educate one while teaching others alongside clarify the present in the light of
the past. Fourth is to dedicate one honestly to think about and to take get a kick out of it.Fifth
is to join hypothesis with practice and connected study with unique meditation .Sixth is to
guarantee that individual conduct was in similarity with the standards inspected and energize
autonomous thought. Seventh is to take account of the age of the learners, practice self-control
and self-analysis. Finally, he also developed teaching method to set a good example, correct
one's errors and enhance oneself. Its believed that this will check abhorrent and lift up the
great subsequently welcome feedback and acknowledge rectification.
Confucius has his special method for teachers to deal on this subject. Thought to be an
astounding teacher himself, he was worshipped all through medieval society and served as a
model for endless eras of his achievements. Firstly, he trusted that a decent teacher ought to as
a matter of first importance be enthusiastically and reliably dedicated to his work. Secondly, a
person used own insight must be wide in degree and completely comprehended if his pupil was
to profit by presentation to it.

Thirdly, Confucius further trusted that so as to evoke great results, the tutor must love his
students, know them well, comprehend their mental particularities, offer thought to ways and
method for encouraging their entrance to information that end to build up a viable
procedure.Fourtly the sign of a tutors uprightness in Confucius eyes, was indefatigable
responsibility through his lessons to his students improvement. Finally, he also likewise have
firm political feelings to show humility and attentiveness in his relations with others to pass on
his insight in an impartial manner. The remaining quiet about nothing to communicate richly
and in energetic manner is to develop his very own profound quality and match his deeds with
his words on cultivate his own personal.

Plato Teaching Methodology

Plato prescribed play method at elementary level student ought to learn by doing. When he
reached the higher level of education, his reason would be trained in the procedures of intuition
and abstracting. Plato needs inspiration and enthusiasm for learning. He is against the
utilization of power in education Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no
hold on the mind. He also said that Don't then prepare young people by power and cruelty,
however guide them to it by what interests their psyches so you may be better ready to find
with exactness the unconventional twisted of the virtuoso of every.

Additionally he said that teacher ought to free society from obliviousness while students
ought to be taught to separate great from awful. All human have the ability and longing to learn
and the part of the instructor is to bring understudies to take in the truth. What is critical is not
the common characteristics o of students but rather how they can be taught to end up taught
persons. Teachers ought to be watchful while restraining children. On the off chance if children
are too strictly disciplined it is likely that will be powerless, effortlessly surrender and not able
to adjust to society when they are grown-ups .Then again on the off chance that they are
excessively spoilt, they will effectively get furious and not regard teachers. Teachers ought not
to separate in the middle of boys and girls. If necessary, girls can be directed to join the military
and go to war. Plato recommended that stories and poetry taught to students ought to be edited
with the goal that they don't ruin the minds of students. Teachers ought to urge students to be
involved in music and physical education. Music and physical education will fortify their minds
and body.

Your comments about their views on education

After all, I feel both philosophies concentrate on recuperating the individual as well as the
state in light of the fact that they both inhabited times and in spots which they as thoroughly
corrupt. Besides they both trust that restoring virtue to the individual is an errand which ought
to be done at the same time with the reclamation of goodness in the society at large. Coupled
with these Confucius' chance was stamped by social rebellion and the undiluted frightfulness
of the Period of the Warring States.

From the analysis above, I can conclude that two powerful philosophers of the ancient
world who had no contact with one another, set goodness in a fundamental place, and expressed
that righteousness is a self-development process. Similarly, virtuous individual ought to in this
way have some externalized indications such as bravery, trustworthiness, affection, and self-
control. In addition to that, both Confucius and Plato connected the thought that teaching ought
to be as students diverse abilities and needs. Additionally they considered aesthetics as one
part of virtue. However, since they lived under diverse geographical and authentic conditions,
their ideological frameworks are likewise unmistakable from one another. Here concentrated
on Chinese conventional patriarchal connection illustrating his thoughts on virtue in light of
family, clan and societal norms faction .Even societal standards also utilize the basic command
of keeping up a steady arrangement of patriarchy and hierarchy.Wherelse Plato stressed justice,
individual rights and utilizing law to modify citizens relations and build social order. Although
both of them thought virtue is remotely directed, Confucius thought keeping in mind the end
goal to draw in with Ren which must come back to custom. Meanwhile Plato thought equity is
the way to controlling behaviour with respect to the best approach to seek after prudence
through education. Moreover, Confucius thought virtue can be taught and students need to
practice it in everyday life. Plato, complexity focused on the procedure to accomplish
knowledge, depicting teaching as a memory process and underscoring rationale and thinking
in this process.

As to idea be inferred that both terms need to do with the right connection of parts It can
be said that both terms involve a wide extent of importance, include the regulation of our
association with others encourage a state of congruity. If respect to pedagogy, built up an
operators focused moral perfect that enveloped reason and inspiration. Conversely, both looked
to legitimize their moral ideals while motivating their students to seek after those standards.
However, both contended for the characteristic and the instrumental estimation of their beliefs
.Therefore, a careful study of Platos and Confuciuss uses of the terms dikaiosune and Ren
uncover comparative ways to deal with advocating the moral life.

Subsequent to dissecting the contrasts between Confucius and Plato, I would relate to the
present education program. Globalization irrefutable advantages, additionally introduces new
difficulties and reasons issues. It introduces numerous significant changes that require new
theories and language system. Our world is contracting as technology dissolves the limitations
of separation and time with quickened reliance the volume of correspondence has changed. In
this way, throughout today's professionals, students and other taught subjects, a proficient,
basic, evaluative, critical, evaluative and action-oriented gaze is a down to earth need.
