An Experiment with True Education


Authors: Dr. Geeta Shetty

Pages: 62-63

Abstract:

Education has taken great strides from being a passive process of information transmission to becoming an active phenomenon of development of knowledge. Educationists take great pride in the progressive pedagogies developed by them to facilitate meaningful learning. What remains to be seen however is, whether there really is a dramatic change in the way society views education. The book ‘Divasvapna’presents the stark reality of Indian society of the 1930’s and the challenges that existed then. However on analysis, we would say that nothing much has really changed now. The conditions of society, the attitude towards education and learning, the essence of true education are major issues that influence educational practices even now. The book is an inspiration to true educationists who take risks and try innovations to make learning more insightful and purposeful to the learners.
