from Latin word “educo” means ‘I lead out’ here E means
‘out of’ while ‘duco’ means ‘I lead’ in other words it means ‘I
lead out of darkness into light’ and here ‘I’ denotes the
teacher.

‘education’ is derived from the word
‘educare’, meaning ‘to rear’ ‘to bring up’
‘to nourish’.This meaning implies that the
child is lacking and she is to be brought up
with certain preconceived ideas.
4. MEANING
There is also another view that education is
originated from the word ‘educere’ meaning ‘to
lead out’.This implies ‘growth from within’.The
child already possesses some innate powers and
capacities. Education is the process of
developing these powers, nothing from without
is to be imposed on child.

propulsion from inward to outward.

schooling to colleges through fixed time, fixed
fixed classes, fixed subjects for degree or certificate.
Wider meaning: it goes on throughout the life from birth
till death.
6. MEANING
There is yet another view, that in the term
“Education” comes from the word ‘Educatum’
which means the act of “teaching or training”
Therefore, education means ‘to lead out’, ‘to lead
forth’, or ‘to unfold the hidden talents of man’. It is
very much the art of developing and cultivation the
various powers of mind, physical, mental and
moral.

education is an end result of the interaction
between the educator or teacher and the
student.Teacher imparts knowledge to the
students with an intension to change latter’s
behavior.
9. EDUCATION AS TRIPOLAR PROCESS
A considerable proportion of
educationalists believe that education is a
tri-polar process involving the interaction
between the student, the teacher and the
social environment, John Dewey believed
that education is essentially a tri polar
process.
10. EDUCATION AS MULTIPOLAR PROCESS
This new self-learning concept of education is influenced
by several factors along with the teacher, student and the
social environment. Easy access to knowledge due to the
technological advancement and the increased acceptance
of non-formal and informal types of education has reduced
the importance of teacher and school when compared to
past. Different from the past, present day education is
flexible; more students centered, focused on creativity
then mere spoon feeding by the teacher and depend
heavily on technological advancements.
11. EDUCATION AS LIFE LONG PROCESS
Education is now interpreted not as referring to an initial period of
training of youth, but to a continual and lifelong process. It is not
something that concerns itself with certain aims or philosophies nor
does its responsibility end with devising some classroom technique
for the teacher. Education today aims at elevating itself to the level of
a complex and comprehensive science with border objectives. It now
attempts to relate itself not merely to pedagogy but is conceived as
Andragogy, which according to Pierre further, is the science of
training man throughout his life span.
