"....Effectiveness changes substantially when the people involved in anything, understand why they are doing what they are doing, and develop conviction about reasons and purposes. Education is just about the most complex of all intentional social processes, it’s a humanistic social endeavour. Therefore, it’s entirely dependent on the capacities, dispositions, beliefs and relationships of those involved, most significantly of the teachers. So, such a process of building understanding and convictions through deep personal examination and inquiry is absolutely fundamental to the effectiveness of education. While I have gone in to some detail on this particular matter of “why do we have to have these children in schools?” education poses many more such basic questions every day to the practitioner. Let’s take a few more: what do we want our children to learn and why, should basic existing social norms be questioned, what are good values and how are they developed, what does it mean when we say that a child understands, what are our basic assumptions about human beings, what is the use of knowledge etc. All these questions need equally rigorous, critical and systematic inquiry.
Philosophy of education
These kinds of basic issues along with the related process of critical examination and systematic inquiry, is philosophy of education. I avoided that phrase “philosophy of education” in the beginning, apprehensive that it immediately suggests an endeavour, confined to the hallowed precincts of the academy or the deep mind of a wise person in repose. Given the processes of learning, the nature of education and its purposes, philosophy and practice are inseparable. All practice in education involves commitments, assumptions and goals that demand philosophical scrutiny. The absence of such scrutiny has a direct implication on the effectiveness of the practitioner. Philosophy is absolutely essential in the practice of good education...."for the article, visit http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/dealing-with-first-generation-schoolgoers/article6803389.ece
