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.
1)Aristotle felt the need for repetition to develop good habits in students;
Socrates felt that students need to be constantly questioned
Ans1. The first option is correct – their approaches were different and this
difference is quite explicitly explained in the fourth paragraph
Q2.Why do educationists consider philosophy a ‘weak and woolly’ field?
Ans3. The first option is correct because the term comes from the root word
‘perennial’ – which means ceaseless.
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
Ans4. The second option is correct – Plato’s beliefs were democratic but not
his suggested practices
Q5.Why did Aquinas propose a model of education which did not lay much
emphasis on facts?
Ans5. The third option is correct – facts do change with the changing times,
hence, they are not of the utmost importance when aiming for holistic
education.
