 Elements of the process of education
i. Aims
ii. Curriculum
iii. Pedagogy
iv. Evaluation

i. Aims
The importance of aims and objectives of Education is recognized by all the Educational,
professional, political, nonpolitical and religious associations, Organizations and groups
at various levels in their memoranda, letters and brochures. It is said that Education
without clear cut aims is like a rudderless ship. The following comparisons emphasize
this point fully well.
Every pilot has a route-chart and set timing of landing at predetermined destination.
There is constitution or set of Principles and traditions through which a country is
governed Similarly, there should be properly defined and declared principles, aims and
objectives of Education or the basis of which policies and programs of Education nave to
be formulated to achieve the set goals wit out wasting scarce energies and resources in
chasing the wild goose.
It is generally felt that our Educational system has not followed the desired aims as a
result that it does not produce ideal citizens in the country. It has followed, rather a
narrow aim of preparing individuals for livelihood, as mentioned in one of the documents
received from an Organization.
The main reason of failure of Educational system is that it basically stands or, pre-
independence system. The main Objective of its products was how to take degree and to
earn money and to be careerist without consideration of ethical values and national spirit.
On the one hand we are developing and cultivating the British given economy, judicial
system and system of administration and parliament and on the other we are decrying and
criticizing the Education system which merely fulfils the needs of the British systems that
we are propagating.
The aims and objectives of Education, suggested in the documents, include individual as
well as social aims, with emphasis of social transformation aiming at reconstructing
society to make it modernized, productive, participative, and value oriented nation
committed to its constitutional.
ii. Curriculum:
The term curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content taught in a school or in a
specific course or program. In dictionaries, curriculum is often defined as the courses
offered by a school, but it is rarely used in such a general sense in schools. Depending on
how broadly educators define or employ the term, curriculum typically refers to the
knowledge and skills students are expected to learn, which includes the learning
standards or learning objectives they are expected to meet; the units and lessons that
teachers teach; the assignments and projects given to students; the books, materials,
videos, presentations, and readings used in a course; and the tests, assessments, and other
methods used to evaluate student learning. An individual teacher’s curriculum, for
example, would be the specific learning standards, lessons, assignments, and materials
used to organize and teach a particular course.
When the terms curriculum or curricula are used in educational contexts without
qualification, specific examples, or additional explanation, it may be difficult to
determine precisely what the terms are referring to mainly because they could be applied
to either all or only some of the component parts of a school’s academic program or
courses.

iii. Pedagogy
Pedagogy is a method of teaching in which teachers teach, both in theory and in practice.
Pedagogy is shaped by educator’s teaching beliefs and involves their understanding of
culture and different learning styles. It is essential for students to have meaningful
classroom relationships in order to build on prior learning.
Pedagogy refers to the way of teaching students, whether it is the theory or practice of
educating. It is a relationship between the culture and techniques of learning. The main
aim of pedagogy is to build on previous learning of the students and work on the
development of skills and attitudes of the learners. Pedagogy enables the students to get a
thorough understanding of the subject and helps them in applying those learning in their
daily lives outside of the classroom.

Pedagogy in effective learning:

1. Improves Teaching Quality
It enhances student participation in learning and makes them more receptive to what is
being taught.

2. Encourages Different Learning Styles

The main focus is given on the outcomes of courses and the students are free to learn in
their styles.
 3. Enables Learning For Students With Special Needs
It encourages the students with special needs to be a part of the mainstream teaching
ways and engage with other students.

4. Clarifies Learning Objectives

The student studies a particular subject with a clear objective of outcomes such as gaining
skills and knowledge of the subject.

iv. Evaluation:
Evaluation is an important component of the teaching-learning process. It helps teachers
and learners to improve teaching and learning. Evaluation is a continuous process not a
periodic exercise. It helps in forming the values of judgement, educational status, or
achievement of students.
Educational evaluation has grown rapidly during the last two decades. As the boundaries
of educational evaluation continue to widen, the purposes for evaluation are expanding
also. Evaluation is being used to measure student progress, reform education systems,
and enhance accountability for outcomes.
