Description
Education is more than just classrooms; it is a lifelong process of learning and evolution. Presenting a holistic picture of education as a means to personal development and social transformation, this book argues for a spontaneous learning environment within real-life contexts. It differs strongly from existing classroom perspectives on education, analysing its variegated forms within the broadest possible imperatives–integrating experience and learning. Exploring the ideas and teachings of Indian and Western educational thinkers–Plato, Dewey, Tagore, and Gandhi among others–this book draws out the essence of good education and its impact on the social order. It emphasizes creativity in classrooms, focussing on interdisciplinary approaches, positive teacher—student interaction, and advocates the applications of learning in real-world situations. Through comparative theoretical analysis, this volume argues for a well-integrated educational set-up in which schools and colleges produce people who naturally merge into society at large, thus upholding the real essence of learning.
