Note : Answer all questions.
1. Read the following passages and answer the following questions carefully :
(a) Philosophy of Education is a label applied to the study of the purpose, process, nature and ideals of education. It can be considered a branch of both philosophy and education. Education can be defined as the teaching and learning of specific skills and the imparting of knowledge, judgement and wisdom and is something broader than the societal institution of education we often speak of.
(b) Many educationists consider it as a weak and woolly field, far removed from the practical applications over the milennia of
the real world. But, philosophers dating back to Plato and the Ancient Greeks have given the area much thought and emphasis
and there is little doubt that their work has helped to shape the practise of education over the milennia.

In it, he advocates some extreme methods : removing children from their wards of the state and differentiating children suitable to the various castes, the highest receiving
the most education should act as guardians of the city and care for the less-able. He believed that education should be holistic, including facts, skills, physical discipline, music and art. Plato believed that talent and intelligence is not distributed genetically, therefore born to all classes; although his proposed system of selective public education for an educated minority of the population does not follow a democratic model.
(d) Aristotle considered human nature, habit and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education, the ultimate
aim of which be to produce good and virtuous citizens. He proposed that teachers lead their students systematically unlike Socrates emphasis on ‘questioning’ his listeners to bring out their own ideas.
