Analytic philosophy of education focuses on clarifying such key terms as: “education”, “aims”, “goals”, “objectives”, “overt curriculum”, “covert curriculum”, “null curriculum”, “pedagogical content knowledge”. The understanding of these and other concepts is critical to enable contemporary education to be regarded as a truly professional domain.

  • Pedagogic content knowledge

The world of education—like law, medicine, business, and other spheres—has its own unique language. A discussion of this language is important for principals and teachers, parents, and students in order to facilitate a clear understanding of what education is. In this chapter, I analyze and clarify some key terms with a view to promoting a coherent and more precise educational practice.

Three Ways to Analyze the Term “Education”

There are three kinds of definitions of “education” (Scheffler 1960 ). The first type is called the descriptive . It is a statement that proposes to denote or explain the nature of the meaning of the word called “education” by using a variety of words to explain either what the phenomenon is or how the term is to be understood. This type of definition claims to describe precisely how the word denoted as “education” is most prominently used.

The second type of definition of “education” is the programmatic , which comes to advocate for or prescribe a belief of what education should be or should do. A programmatic definition is less preoccupied with what the phenomenon or language of education is and more concerned with promulgating a particular practice of education that is regarded as desirable. Sometimes prescriptive definitions are expressed in short, clipped sentences such as Pink Floyd’s “We don’t need no education” or the title of Jonathan Kozol’s description of education as Death at an Early Age (Kozol 1985 ). Programmatic definitions are ultimately short slogans or deeply felt preaching about the way education should be.

The third type of definition is the stipulative and its purpose is technical and utilitarian. It is basically a linguistic agreement or pact that enables a discussion to proceed smoothly without forcing a person to each time state, “This is what I mean by the term ‘education.’” It is essentially is a linguistic shortcut, in which one person’s explanation of the word “education” is called Version 1; a second person’s explanation is Version 2, and the third interpretation is called Version 3. This is a kind of a shortcut that enables the discussion to precede at a decent pace.

My concern in this chapter is the descriptive mode, namely, the endeavor to arrive at a clear and generally agreed-upon statement of what the word “education” means. My aim is to refer to terms that are generally used in everyday speech and to attempts to search for viable and relevant definitions that reflect as accurately as possible the common language usage of the term. There is a technique that students and some academics use in the attempt to understand the term, namely, to trace it back to its original linguistic roots. There are times when this is helpful, but very often this can be misleading, since the way it once was used does not necessarily help us understand the way it is used today. The contemporary word “education” is sometimes traced to the Latin root educare , which means “to train” or “to mold”. Based on this linguistic root, some people like to argue that training or molding is what education today should be. At the same time, the Latin word educere means “to lead out”, which suggests a totally different understanding of “education” as a process aimed at that freeing the person from the prison of ignorance. Generally, it is my sense that the technique of tracing back to former linguistic roots is more useful for understanding ways in which terms were understood in the past rather than helping us to grasp what they mean today.

Some Contemporary Meanings

Let’s now look at some diverse definitions of “education”. One understanding of the term is the conscious effort to equip the unequipped young with facts, knowledge, and skills that will enable them to function as adults in a specific society. This is often called the socialization model.

A second usage of the word “education” understands it as exposure to, understanding of, and practice in skillsets that a person needs to be able to function in contemporary culture. This notion is sometimes called the acculturation model.

A third notion of education focuses on the development of reflective thinking and feeling abilities so that the young will be able to carve out how they wish to exist. This model is sometimes known as the liberal or person-centered model of education.

A Proposed Definition of “Education”

I have found the discussion of diverse meanings of education to be very fruitful because it helps me see the world through different lenses and, particularly, enables me to think about and consider diverse meanings and practices of the dynamics of education. At the same time, since I believe that education is a practice, and in practice we need some very specific tools and toolkits to help us proceed, I have searched over time for a definition of “education” that I regard as both descriptively and programmatically useful for the educational practitioner. Ultimately, the definition that I regard as the most useful was shaped by Lawrence Cremin, who is regarded as the most distinguished historian of twentieth-century education:

Education is the deliberate, systematic, and sustained effort to transmit, provoke or acquire knowledge, values, attitudes, skills or sensibilities as well as any learning that results from the effort (Cremin, Public Education , p. 27)

This broad-based definition indicates that education is a purposeful activity. The word “education” is reserved for frameworks created with the considered and conscious intent to educate. This definition also understands education as a process and not a place. It is a purposeful activity that can happen within a wide range of frameworks and not only in buildings called schools. Moreover, this intentional activity does not only transmit knowledge, but it also is concerned with values, attitudes, skills, and sensibilities. Education is an activity which takes place in many diverse venues and is intended to develop knowledge, understanding, valuing, growing, caring, and behaving. It can happen “when you sit in your house, and when you go on the way, and when you lie down and when you rise” (Deuteronomy, 6:7). While contemporary societies have denoted schools as the agency responsible for education, in fact, education far transcends the certificates of achievement received from pre-school, elementary, secondary, and collegiate frameworks.

“Aims”, “Goals”, “Objectives”

The concept of education invites the question “Education for what?” What is the purpose of education? While the terms, “aims”, “goals”, and “objectives” of education are sometimes used interchangeably, philosophers of education describe three distinct activities related to “purpose”: Aims, Goals, Objectives = AGO (Noddings 2007 ).

“Aims” refer to the most general ideals, values, or principles, which a person, institution, or society regards as the ultimate desideratum of education. Aims are value statements which designate certain principles or values as the ultimate aspiration. Aims describe both the ideal target of an educational institution as well at its ultimate desired outcomes or achievements. Educational aims ultimately frame the overall direction of an educational system or institution.

“Goals” refer to a second stage, which is derivative from aims and focuses on contents and topics that should be studied so as to enable students to understand and actualize core ideals explicit in aims. Goals translate aims into specific contents or stepping-stones that should be part of the educational process. If one of the aims of twentieth-century American schooling was to teach a set of shared values for its diverse populations in order to socialize them into a core American society, then its goal was to provide them with skillsets such as language, science, and mathematics, which were then regarded as contents critical to enable realization of the larger shared American creed.

The word “objectives” refers to the most practical stage, which is the actual teaching materials—books textbooks, maps, videos, and visual aids—used in the classroom each day, week, and month in a year. These are the infamous “lesson plans” which are an hour by hour mapping out of how teachers will spend every single day in the classroom.

This AGO framework can be a useful structure for analyzing education, from its most abstract goals to its most immediate daily application. Moreover, if implemented properly, it would seem to reflect a useful dynamic from theory to practice. Unfortunately, in reality, what often happens is that aims and goals are skipped over and objectives—daily blueprints, and lesson plans—become the main preoccupation. Because of a multitude of exigencies, the thoughtful paradigm of aims, goals, and objectives is often neglected at the expense of “getting through the day” in practice.

Three Notions of “Curriculum”

An important term in the study of education is “curriculum”, which popularly refers to the overall subjects or contents of schooling. As the field of curriculum studies developed into a rigorous academic area of study in schools of education, broader understandings of the term were to emerge (Pinar et al. 1995 ).

One of the important sophistications in the study of curriculum has been the notion of overt, covert, and null curricula. The “overt curriculum” refers to the clearly stated and enunciated objectives, contents, subjects, topics, books, and resources, which are the official frameworks, and requirements of a school and its teachers. It is the approved and mandated contents that shape a school’s operation.

The “covert” curriculum refers to attitudes, values, and behaviors that characterize the norms of daily life in schools beyond the subjects formally taught in a classroom. The covert curriculum is the unspoken “culture’” shaped by a multitude of forces and factors. What is the décor of the school? What do the halls look like? What type examinations are given? What is the nature of student interaction? The covert curriculum refers to the multiple features of a school culture very much shaped by the lives, habits, and “lingo” of students which have significant impact on the actual rhythm and flow of daily school life.

The “null” curriculum refers to the books, subjects, topics, and artifacts that are consciously and purposefully not part of the school curriculum. This may include partial or no discussion of the history of indigenous populations in the teaching of American history. It includes the list of books, sources, ands ideas that have very consciously not been chosen in the formal curriculum. All education requires selection, and the topics not chosen—and why—are just as important as those that have been chosen. Indeed, there are political, racial, gender, aesthetic, moral, and spiritual issues that significantly shape the overt, covert, and null curriculum of each and every type of schooling.

These three terms alert us to the complicated nature of curriculum development. While there is a popular phrase that refers to an individual “writing a curriculum’”, in fact, curriculum development has become a specialized domain that involves subject matter experts classroom teachers, and educational leadership, and requires extensive deliberation, field testing, revision, and production. It is one of the most exciting and, at the same time most demanding of fields in contemporary education.

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)

An important dimension of education is what is commonly known as “pedagogy”, which is understood as the methodologies or the ways in which teaching should happen. Footnote 1 This is obviously a critical dimension of education because it is about what educators teach and how students learn—which are the ultimate domain of education. Pedagogy (sometimes called the “science of teaching”) is the assumption that there are universal patterns and procedures in teaching which should constitute an important part of academic teacher training. There were, and there still are, some general courses on pedagogy in university departments of education which reflect the assumption that there is a core set of methodologies generally appropriate for all sorts of teaching. Twentieth-century philosophers in multiple fields of study—for example, physics, mathematics, literature, and economics—began to focus on the notions of “realms of meaning” or “spheres of knowledge”, which led to the general consensus that there is a diversity of pedagogic methodologies that derive from the many different spheres of knowledge. This kind of thinking made it clear that because of the significant differences between science, mathematics, history, literature, and philosophy, there could be no one overall pedagogy appropriate for all subjects; consequently, such courses as “principles of pedagogy” were misleading. In the 1980s, through the innovative work of a group of educators of whom Professor Lee Shulman was a central figure, an important concept was to emerge which has had a profound effect on styles of teaching (Shulman 1986 ). This research led to the term “pedagogical content knowledge” (PCK). PCK refers to the fact that diverse spheres of knowledge utilize diverse methodologies of researching and understanding and therefore require diverse practices of teaching. In other words, the way a teacher teaches the subject depends on the nature of the subject and that all subjects are not the same. Just as it is clear that the ways we teach someone to drive a car or to learn how to swim have their own characteristics, so it is clear that the teaching of mathematics must differ from the teaching of literature, which differs from the teaching of civics, which differs from the teaching of languages. This notion indicates that one must be wary of general principles of “how to teach” and that quality teaching begins with and is related to an understanding of the subject matter being taught. To teach chemistry or physics one has to understand the role of experimentation. In teaching literature, one has to understand the importance of simile, metaphor, plot, and theme. PCK was to have a major impact particularly in the experimental subject areas, although there were also important implications for teaching literature and other areas. At the heart of PCK is the notion that methodology or “what to do” flows from the content one teaches, and the content one teaches ultimately flows from the “why” of education. In other words, education is an integrated dynamic in which the “why” affects the “what” and the “what” affects the “how”.

I learned about the importance of PCK during my travels over the years to all sorts of Jewish schools. One of the most prominent subjects (typically in the early years of elementary school) I observed was the teaching of Genesis Chapter 12 which describes a conversation between God and Abraham in which God makes a covenant—a legal agreement—with Abraham, that if he follows God’s ways, Abraham will be given a certain body of land for himself and for his children in perpetuity. How one teaches this section depends upon how one understands the nature of this ancient source. If this text is a verifiable history book (which was the mode that I observed in so many schools), it will be taught in one way; if this text is not a history book but rather a philosophical or theological work with profound religious, moral, and human messages, it will be taught in a totally different way. These two understandings result in dramatically diverse pedagogies and messages, depending on whether the text in Genesis 12 was presented as an authoritative history or a profound philosophy.

The contemporary language of education includes some key concepts—“schooling”, “aims”, “goals”, “curriculum”, and “pedagogy”—whose meanings are very important to the practice of education in schools and beyond. This conclusion suggests that the fields of education and Jewish education in the twenty-first century are sophisticated domains which call for serious deliberation and study by prospective educators. The educators of our young deserve the same level of training, investment, and rigor that we expect from the doctors who treat our bodies or from the engineers who build the bridges on which we travel. Education in the twenty-first century is a critical sphere that calls for deep reflection, training, and passion.

Adult education specialist Malcolm Knowles suggested that the term “pedagogy” be used to refer to the teaching of children and that the term “andragogy” be used to denote adult learning. (Knowles 2020 ).

Philosophy of Education and the Work of Teachers

David Waddington

In this chapter, I argue that the status of Dewey scholarship in schools of education is likely to decline. To advance this hypothesis, I begin with an account of the factors behind Dewey’s ascent in North American schools of education. I then proceed to review some existing critiques of Dewey, and I explain how they do not capture the key problem with Dewey's philosophy, which is its strong commitment to modernity. Once this core argument is laid out, I explain how this commitment to modernity, along with the progressive movement’s current difficulties, indicate some difficult times ahead for Dewey scholarship.

Examination of leading problems and issues in the discipline of philosophy of education, together with suggestions for moving forward and a model/methodology for doing so. Note, this copy is a pre-print.

This book chapter introduces the field called “the philosophy of music education,” or music education philosophy (MEP). The philosophy of music education is a relatively young field, with many music educators unaware of its existence, not to mention its nature and values. Indeed, specialized courses in MEP are still infrequent in undergraduate and graduate music education curricula in North America and most other nations. Nevertheless, there is a fairly sizeable and rapidly expanding international literature intended to (1) analyze, synthesize, debate, or “problematize” and “worry” all theoretical and practical aspects of music education and, thereby, to (2) inform teachers, university music education students, and scholars about fundamental concepts, conceptions, controversies, principles, and practices in school and community music education. Keywords: music education, philosophy

All human societies, past and present, have had a vested interest in education; and some wits have claimed that teaching (at its best an educational activity) is the second oldest profession. While not all societies channel sufficient resources into support for educational activities and institutions, all at the very least acknowledge their centrality— and for good reasons. For one thing, it is obvious that children are born illiterate and innumerate, and ignorant of the norms and cultural achievements of the community or society into which they have been thrust; but with the help of professional teachers and the dedicated amateurs in their families and immediate environs (and with the aid, too, of educational resources made available through the media and nowadays the internet), within a few years they can read, write, calculate, and act (at least often) in culturally-appropriate ways. Some learn these skills with more facility than others, and so education also serves as a social-sorting mechanism and undoubtedly has enormous impact on the economic fate of the individual. Put more abstractly, at its best education equips individuals with the skills and substantive knowledge that allows them to define and to pursue their own goals, and also allows them to participate in the life of their community as full-fledged, autonomous citizens. But this is to cast matters in very individualistic terms, and it is fruitful also to take a societal perspective, where the picture changes somewhat. It emerges that in pluralistic societies such as the Western democracies there are some groups that do not wholeheartedly support the development of autonomous individuals, for such folk can weaken a group from within by thinking for themselves and challenging communal norms and beliefs; from the point of view of groups whose survival is thus threatened, formal, state-provided education is not necessarily a good thing. But in other ways even these groups depend for their continuing survival on educational processes, as do the larger societies and nation-states of which they are part; for as John Dewey put it in the opening chapter of his classic work Democracy and Education (1916), in its broadest sense education is the means of the " social continuity of life " (Dewey 1916, 3). Dewey pointed out that the " primary ineluctable facts of the birth and death of each one of the constituent members in a social group " make education a necessity, for despite this biological inevitability " the life of the group goes on " (Dewey, 3). The great social importance of education is underscored, too, by the fact that when a society is shaken by a crisis, this often is taken as a sign of educational breakdown; education, and educators, become scapegoats.

Theory and Research in Education

Bruce Maxwell , David Waddington , Kevin McDonough

Why do society and the courts so readily recognize university and college teachers’ academic freedom but just as readily deny primary and secondary school teachers the same right? To investigate this question, this paper considers teachers’ work in light of the standard justifications for granting academic freedom in higher education: that academic freedom is essential to promoting the capacity for critical reflection and the transfer of disciplinary knowledge. Considering the key role that society calls upon teachers to play in advancing both of these educational and social goods, the paper argues that granting academic freedom in higher education, while denying it for primary and secondary teachers, appears to be a double standard. The claims to academic freedom typically reserved for university professors, we show, also apply to the work of primary and secondary teachers. There are significant differences between teaching in the higher education sector as opposed to the compulsory education sector. School teachers work with a conscripted clientele of minors and are therefore rightly subject to more stringent norms of public accountability. These differences notwithstanding, the concept of academic freedom, the paper concludes, is a potentially powerful source of leverage for addressing concerns about the erosion of teachers’ professional autonomy and for increased teacher involvement in the elaboration and management of the regulatory framework that governs their work.

Ethics & Education

Nuraan Davids , Janet Orchard

Conventional teacher education programmes do not equip practitioners adequately to navigate ethically complex situations that arise in teaching (Maxwell et al 2016). One initiative responding to this deficit is ‘Philosophy for Teachers’ (‘P4T’), a 24 hour residential approach to community philosophy. Piloted originally in England (Orchard et al 2016), a further workshop took place in South Africa in October 2017, comprising student teachers, teacher educators and philosophers from three historically different universities in the Western Cape . Significant new insights to emerge included greater clarity on the respective contributions of P4T and other initiatives already applying ‘P4C’ to address professional ethics (e.g. Murris 2016) within teacher education. In particular, P4T re-framed within this new context can be seen to create shared space for reflection on teacher identity and the complexity of difference and ‘otherness’ in classroom practice.

Importance of Education

Education is a tool with which one can conquer the world without harming anyone. The mental strength of a human Being is what makes it the strongest species in the entire Universe. By the mere use of our brains, we humans have evolved from living in dense forests to living a comfortable civilized life in merely about 5000 years.

What is Education

Education is a process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits through various formal and informal means. It encompasses both the formal education system, such as schools, colleges, and universities, as well as informal learning experiences gained through daily life, interactions with others, and self-directed study.

Education serves multiple purposes, including:

Transmission of Knowledge: Education facilitates the transfer of knowledge from one generation to another, ensuring the preservation and dissemination of culture, history, scientific discoveries, and societal norms.

Skill Development: Education equips individuals with the skills and competencies needed to succeed in various aspects of life, including academic, professional, personal, and social domains.

Personal Growth: Education fosters personal development by encouraging critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and self-reflection. It helps individuals discover their interests, talents, and aspirations, leading to greater self-awareness and fulfillment.

Socialization: Education plays a crucial role in socializing individuals into their respective cultures and communities. It teaches social norms, values, and behaviors, and promotes cooperation, empathy, and respect for others.

Empowerment: Education empowers individuals by expanding their opportunities, choices, and freedoms. It enables people to participate actively in society, advocate for their rights, and contribute to positive change.

Economic Development: Education is closely linked to economic development and prosperity. It enhances workforce productivity, fosters innovation and entrepreneurship, and reduces poverty by creating opportunities for employment and income generation.

Civic Engagement: Education prepares individuals to be informed, responsible citizens who actively participate in democratic processes, uphold democratic values, and contribute to the betterment of their communities and society as a whole.

Education is a lifelong journey that begins in early childhood and continues throughout one’s life. It is not limited to formal schooling but encompasses a wide range of learning experiences that occur in various contexts and settings. Ultimately, education empowers individuals to lead fulfilling lives, contribute to society, and adapt to an ever-changing world.

Important of Education

Learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, morals, beliefs, habits, and personal development, is facilitated by education. Education began as a means of passing along cultural knowledge from one generation to the next. Today’s educational objectives increasingly include new concepts such as learner liberation, critical thinking about offered material, modern-day skills, empathy, and complicated vocational skills. Formal education takes place at educational and training facilities, is usually supervised by a teacher, and is normally structured by curricular goals and objectives. Formal education is compulsory in most regions until a specific age, and is usually separated into educational stages such as kindergarten, primary school, and secondary school. Nonformal learning can be used in conjunction with or instead of formal education. It is frequently held in community-based, workplace-based, or civil society-based settings, and is arranged according to educational arrangements, but in a more flexible manner. Finally, informal settings occur in everyday life, in the family, and any event that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or behaves, whether unintended or purposeful, may be deemed educational.

In practise, there is a continuum between highly structured and very informalized learning, and informal learning can take place in any of the three settings. Homeschooling, for example, might be defined as either nonformal or informal, depending on the structure. Teaching, training, storytelling, conversation, and guided study are all examples of educational methods that can be used in any situation. The term pedagogy refers to the teaching methodology.

Importance of Education Essay 200 Words

Education policies and implementation were constitutionally defined by each of India’s constituent states until 1976. Education became a ‘concurrent subject’ after the 42nd amendment to the constitution was ratified in 1976. Since then, the federal and state governments have shared official responsibilities for education funding and administration. In 2005-6, the government managed 83.13 percent of elementary schools (Grades 1-8) and 16.86 percent of schools were under private management. According to the 2011 Census, approximately 73 percent of the population was literate, with males accounting for 81 percent and females accounting for 65 percent. Literacy was 77.7% in 2017–18, with 84.7 percent for males and 70.3 percent for females, according to the National Statistical Commission. The World Bank has invested nearly $2 billion in India’s education since 2000. There are more than 900 universities and 40,000 colleges in India. A large percentage of seats in India’s higher education system are reserved for historically disadvantaged Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes under affirmative action rules. Reservations for these disadvantaged groups are allowed in universities, colleges, and similar institutions affiliated with the federal government up to 50%, but this varies by state. In 2014, Maharashtra had the largest rate of reservations in India, at 73 percent.

A wide range of philosophies, theories, and empirical research agendas underpin education. There are movements for educational reforms, such as enhancing the quality and efficiency of education to make it more relevant to students’ lives and efficient problem solving in today’s or tomorrow’s society, or for evidence-based education techniques. Some states and the United Nations have acknowledged the right to education. Global activities are aimed at accomplishing Sustainable Development Goal 4, which calls for universal access to high-quality education. The goal of altering public education is known as education reform. Debates over whether content or experiences result in an educated individual or an educated community have affected the meaning and practises of education. Reform intentions in the past have not always reflected present societal requirements. The assumption that large-scale, systematic changes in educational standards will result in social benefits in citizens’ health, prosperity, and well-being is a recurring theme of reform.

Although educational reform has occurred on a local level throughout history, the current concept of education reform is linked to the widespread adoption of compulsory education. The necessity of ensuring that all children and adults have access to free, high-quality, effective education has grown as a result of economic expansion and the spread of democracy. Modern education changes are becoming increasingly motivated by a growing understanding of what works in education and how to improve teaching and learning in schools. In other circumstances, however, the reformers’ goals of high-quality education have been misinterpreted as high-intensity education, with a narrow focus on teaching isolated, test-friendly subskills fast, regardless of long-term consequences, developmental appropriateness, or broader educational goals.

Why Education is Important in Hindi

शिक्षा का महत्व: शिक्षा एक ऐसा उपकरण है जिससे कोई भी व्यक्ति बिना किसी को नुकसान पहुंचाए दुनिया को जीत सकता है। मनुष्य की मानसिक शक्ति ही उसे पूरे ब्रह्मांड में सबसे मजबूत प्रजाति बनाती है। अपने दिमाग के इस्तेमाल से ही हम इंसान घने जंगलों में रहने से लगभग 5000 वर्षों में एक आरामदायक सभ्य जीवन जीने के लिए विकसित हुए हैं।

सीखना, या ज्ञान, कौशल, मूल्य, नैतिकता, विश्वास, आदतें और व्यक्तिगत विकास का अधिग्रहण, शिक्षा द्वारा सुगम है। शिक्षा का प्रारम्भ सांस्कृतिक ज्ञान को एक पीढ़ी से दूसरी पीढ़ी तक पहुँचाने के साधन के रूप में हुआ। आज के शैक्षिक उद्देश्यों में तेजी से नई अवधारणाएं शामिल हैं जैसे कि शिक्षार्थी मुक्ति, प्रस्तावित सामग्री के बारे में महत्वपूर्ण सोच, आधुनिक कौशल, सहानुभूति और जटिल व्यावसायिक कौशल। औपचारिक शिक्षा शैक्षिक और प्रशिक्षण सुविधाओं में होती है, आमतौर पर एक शिक्षक द्वारा पर्यवेक्षण किया जाता है, और आमतौर पर पाठ्यचर्या के लक्ष्यों और उद्देश्यों द्वारा संरचित किया जाता है। औपचारिक शिक्षा अधिकांश क्षेत्रों में एक विशिष्ट आयु तक अनिवार्य है, और आमतौर पर इसे किंडरगार्टन, प्राथमिक विद्यालय और माध्यमिक विद्यालय जैसे शैक्षिक चरणों में विभाजित किया जाता है। अनौपचारिक शिक्षा का उपयोग औपचारिक शिक्षा के साथ या उसके बजाय संयोजन के रूप में किया जा सकता है। यह अक्सर समुदाय-आधारित, कार्यस्थल-आधारित, या नागरिक समाज-आधारित सेटिंग्स में आयोजित किया जाता है, और शैक्षिक व्यवस्था के अनुसार व्यवस्थित किया जाता है, लेकिन अधिक लचीले तरीके से। अंत में, अनौपचारिक सेटिंग्स रोजमर्रा की जिंदगी में, परिवार में होती हैं, और कोई भी घटना जो किसी के सोचने, महसूस करने या व्यवहार करने के तरीके पर एक प्रारंभिक प्रभाव डालती है, चाहे वह अनपेक्षित या उद्देश्यपूर्ण हो, शैक्षिक मानी जा सकती है।

व्यवहार में, अत्यधिक संरचित और बहुत अनौपचारिक शिक्षा के बीच एक निरंतरता है, और अनौपचारिक शिक्षा तीन सेटिंग्स में से किसी में भी हो सकती है। उदाहरण के लिए, होमस्कूलिंग को संरचना के आधार पर अनौपचारिक या अनौपचारिक के रूप में परिभाषित किया जा सकता है। शिक्षण, प्रशिक्षण, कहानी सुनाना, बातचीत और निर्देशित अध्ययन सभी शैक्षिक विधियों के उदाहरण हैं जिनका उपयोग किसी भी स्थिति में किया जा सकता है। शिक्षाशास्त्र शब्द शिक्षण पद्धति को संदर्भित करता है।

Essay on Importance of Education in Hindi

शिक्षा नीतियों और कार्यान्वयन को 1976 तक भारत के प्रत्येक घटक राज्यों द्वारा संवैधानिक रूप से परिभाषित किया गया था। 1976 में संविधान में 42 वें संशोधन की पुष्टि के बाद शिक्षा एक ‘समवर्ती विषय’ बन गई। तब से, संघीय और राज्य सरकारों ने शिक्षा के वित्तपोषण के लिए आधिकारिक जिम्मेदारियों को साझा किया है। और प्रशासन। 2005-6 में, सरकार ने 83.13 प्रतिशत प्राथमिक विद्यालयों (ग्रेड 1-8) का प्रबंधन किया और 16.86 प्रतिशत स्कूल निजी प्रबंधन के अधीन थे। 2011 की जनगणना के अनुसार, लगभग 73 प्रतिशत आबादी साक्षर थी, जिसमें पुरुषों की संख्या 81 प्रतिशत और महिलाओं की संख्या 65 प्रतिशत थी। राष्ट्रीय सांख्यिकी आयोग के अनुसार, 2017-18 में साक्षरता 77.7% थी, जिसमें पुरुषों के लिए 84.7 प्रतिशत और महिलाओं के लिए 70.3 प्रतिशत थी। विश्व बैंक ने 2000 से भारत की शिक्षा में लगभग 2 अरब डॉलर का निवेश किया है। भारत में 900 से अधिक विश्वविद्यालय और 40,000 कॉलेज हैं। भारत की उच्च शिक्षा प्रणाली में सीटों का एक बड़ा प्रतिशत सकारात्मक कार्रवाई नियमों के तहत ऐतिहासिक रूप से वंचित अनुसूचित जातियों, अनुसूचित जनजातियों और अन्य पिछड़े वर्गों के लिए आरक्षित है। इन वंचित समूहों के लिए संघीय सरकार से संबद्ध विश्वविद्यालयों, कॉलेजों और इसी तरह के संस्थानों में 50% तक आरक्षण की अनुमति है, लेकिन यह राज्य द्वारा भिन्न होता है। 2014 में, महाराष्ट्र में भारत में आरक्षण की सबसे बड़ी दर 73 प्रतिशत थी।

दर्शन, सिद्धांत और अनुभवजन्य अनुसंधान एजेंडा की एक विस्तृत श्रृंखला शिक्षा को रेखांकित करती है। शैक्षिक सुधारों के लिए आंदोलन चल रहे हैं, जैसे शिक्षा की गुणवत्ता और दक्षता को बढ़ाना ताकि इसे छात्रों के जीवन के लिए अधिक प्रासंगिक बनाया जा सके और आज या कल के समाज में कुशल समस्या समाधान, या साक्ष्य-आधारित शिक्षा तकनीकों के लिए। कुछ राज्यों और संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने शिक्षा के अधिकार को स्वीकार किया है। वैश्विक गतिविधियों का उद्देश्य सतत विकास लक्ष्य 4 को पूरा करना है, जो उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली शिक्षा के लिए सार्वभौमिक पहुंच की मांग करता है। सार्वजनिक शिक्षा को बदलने के लक्ष्य को शिक्षा सुधार के रूप में जाना जाता है। इस बात पर बहस कि क्या सामग्री या अनुभव के परिणामस्वरूप एक शिक्षित व्यक्ति या एक शिक्षित समुदाय ने शिक्षा के अर्थ और प्रथाओं को प्रभावित किया है। अतीत में सुधार के इरादे हमेशा वर्तमान सामाजिक आवश्यकताओं को प्रतिबिंबित नहीं करते हैं। यह धारणा कि शैक्षिक मानकों में बड़े पैमाने पर, व्यवस्थित परिवर्तन से नागरिकों के स्वास्थ्य, समृद्धि और कल्याण में सामाजिक लाभ होंगे, सुधार का एक आवर्ती विषय है।

यद्यपि पूरे इतिहास में स्थानीय स्तर पर शैक्षिक सुधार हुआ है, शिक्षा सुधार की वर्तमान अवधारणा अनिवार्य शिक्षा को व्यापक रूप से अपनाने से जुड़ी हुई है।
