 Promoting life-long
learning engages the
learner’s mind, heart,
and soul.
Education is a crucial part of life, it influences the way
people think, speak, talk, write and react to the world around
them. However, education is much more than just an
influence, it is a part of life itself.

Education is a dynamic process, in the words of M. L.

Jackes, “There is plenty of work for education to do, its
prime task is to transform original evil into acquired good.
Education must enable the child to think for himself, to
respect hard work, to have good fellowship, to have taste and
sense of eternal realities.”
It involves interaction between the learners, the educator, and the social 04
environment. The teacher tries to develop the personality of the learner in the
light of the needs of society.
“Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” – Albert Einstein

Education is the dynamic side of philosophy.

Philosophy determines various aspects of education

Education is basically a practical performance, and philosophy

is a theory or thought.

Philosophy is providing a theoretical foundation i.e. rational

proofs and ideologies for it.

There is no aspect of education beyond the reach of

philosophy.
Teaching Practice Implications and Further Research
Research has both a cultural and an instrumental role to play in
informing education practice.

Education, unlike science, involves interactions between related

factors that are not tangible or concrete.

Research into improving education.

Synthesis

Every stage of human development had some aim for life. The aims of
life determine the aims of education. The aims of education have
changed from age to age and thus it is dynamic because the aims of life
are dynamic. The aims of education are not fixed, eternal, or universal.
These are changeable and relative.
Education is not
preparation for life;
education is life
itself.
John Dewey
