Education in the larger sense is any action or experience affecting the formative nature of the mind or the physical capacity of the individual. Education, in its technical sense, is the process that intentionally transmits the knowledge, skills, values and habits of society accumulated from one generation to another. What teachers do in teaching institutions teach students a variety of subjects, including reading, writing, math, science, and history. “Learning” is the process of gaining experience, knowledge or value.
In addition to traditional classroom education, there is a range of learning situations that take place in non-traditional and extra-classroom methods such as in museums, libraries and life experience, and more recently, through interaction with the Internet. Now there are many unconventional learning options available that continue to evolve.
Throughout the ages, many educators and psychologists have dealt with the topics of the philosophy of learning and education, which enriched the science of education with many theories, applications and tools that manage the learning process. The field has also evolved from the idea that the teacher is the foundation to a new concept that emphasizes student success as a criterion for the success of the teaching process. Recently, there have been calls for the ineffectiveness of the educational process and the need to re-engineer it to fit the age of free information.
