Q.5 (a) Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow. [03]

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, judgment and wisdom, and is something broader than the societal institution of education we often speak of.

Many educationalists consider it a weak and woolly field, too far removed from the practical applications of the real world to be useful. 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 shape the practice of education over the millennia.

Plato is the earliest important educational thinker, and education is an essential element in "The Republic" (his most important work on philosophy and political theory, written around 360 B.C!).'In it, he advocates some rather extreme methods: removing children, from their mothers' care and raising them as wards of the state, and differentiating children suitable to the various castes, the highest receiving the most education, so that they could 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 and thus is be found in children born to all classes, although his proposed system of selective public education for an educated minority of the population does not really follow a democratic model.

Aristotle considered human nature, habit and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education, the ultimate aim of which should be to produce good and virtuous citizens. He proposed that teachers lead their students systematically, and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates' emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas. He emphasized the balancing of the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught, among which he explicitly mentions and a wide range of sciences, as well as play, which he also considered important.

1. What is the difference between the approaches of Socrates and Aristotle?
   1. Aristotle felt the need for repetition to develop good habits in students; Socrates felt that students need to be constantly questioned
   2. Aristotle felt the need for rote-learning; Socrates emphasized on dialogic learning
   3. There was no difference
   4. Aristotle emphasized on the importance of paying attention to human nature; Socrates emphasized upon science

   1. It is not practically applicable
   2. Its theoretical concepts are easily understood
   3. It is irrelevant for education

   1. He believed that only the rich have the right to acquire education
   2. Yes
   3. He believed that only a select few are meant to attend schools

Q.5 (a) Make a précis in about 1/3 of the following passage. [03]

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

It is physically impossible for a well-educated, intellectual, or brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts just as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinners, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy minded people like making money ought to like it and enjoy the sensation of winning it; it is do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay—very properly so and justly grumbles when you keep him ten years without it—till, his main mission of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them. So of clergymen. The clergyman's object is essentially baptize and preach not to be paid for preaching. So of doctors. They like fees no doubt—ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well-educated the entire object to their lives is not fees. They on the whole, desire to cure the sick; and if they are good doctors and the choice were fairly to them, would rather cure their patient and lose their fee than kill him and get it. And so with all the other brave and rightly trained men: their work is first, their fee second—very important always; but still second.

(b) You are the Training Coordinator. You have been asked to make arrangements for a half-day seminar at the Conference Centre. The seminar is for 10 Departmental Heads from various departments. Write a memo to the director of the Conference Centre for making arrangements for space, tables, audio-visual equipment, and refreshments. [04]
