10.1 W h at is ed u cation ?
Education:
The process of
training and
developing the
knowledge, skill,
mind, character,
especially by formal
schooling; teaching;

 To sum it up, it is the process of the inculcation of

knowledge
Inculcation: to cause (something) to be learned by (someone)
by repeating it again and again

This definition presupposes:

1. A source of knowledge
2. A substance of material called knowledge
3. A receptor

In educational settings, they are interpreted as:

1. The teacher
2. Information, ideas, instructional content
3. The learner

In this process,
The teacher-learner
relationship is indispensable.
Multicultural education plays a big role in this
process.
The teacher approaches students through his/her cultural
lenses.
The students approach the teacher through their cultural
lenses.

10.1 B .F.S kin n ers

Lim itation s
B.F. Skinner defines it as the
culture of the intellect.
It is something that happens within the
realm of the intellect or the mind.

The acquisition of skills is

considered as education and the
application of knowledge is
considered as production.
His definition only deals with the
product or the fruit of the
whole educational process.

10.2 P latos A lleg ory

 The learners share a lot of

similarities with Platos prisoners.
They are limited in knowledge and
ideas about the world of reality.
The educational process is supposed
to unlock learners from that prison
and release them into the world of
reality.

Education is an
empowering process of
transporting the students
from the world of
ignorance to knowledge.

 The learners are persuaded to

engage the realities and face
the flaws of their perception.

Unchaining and
persuading these
prisoners to step
outside can only be
done by
the one who has
earned the trust and
confidence.

10.2 Th e larg er society

Ask yourself a question,

Is education really just about

the transmission of information?
The goal of education has to be:
to produce new and altered human persons significantly different from who they
were before entering the educational process.

Education must restructure and reorient the students to

become socially informed and civically
responsible citizens.

 One critical flaw of American education system has been and still is:
Imparting knowledge without attempt to develop socially informed, harmonious, and
respectful citizens in this diverse society.

Most American children come to school

ignorant of the world around them.
Teachers education them in the imprisonment of their minds
and in small homogeneous communities.
Students must be exposed
to the diverse world outside of their communities.
Multicultural education is essential American education system
to produce worldly citizens.

10.3 W h o is th e learn er?

Learn: to acquire or receive education.
To absorb: soaking something up
To digest: chewing and swallowing
To conceive: being impregnated by
accepting something from someone else
To contract: getting an infection (medical
term)

Once the learner accepts the substance

it becomes his or her own
possession, no longer the teachers.

 To learn is to
Accept modifications, intellectual or
otherwise, for more enriching
experiences and opportunities.
Accept to change ones perspective or
direction for the better.
Grow richer and taller in quality of life a
well as in intellectual capacity.

Through education, we teach not

only academic disciplines but
1)appreciation
2)respect
3)equality
4)mutual coexistence

with multicultural education as the

center.

 A learner is one who is on a journey

of self-actualization and selfrealization.
A learner opens the self up to the
intrusion of new and foreign ideas and
concepts.
A learner hopes that he or she will have
access to some rules and resources that
will increase the quality of his or her
own life.
A learner is motivated not only by the
teacher but also his or her own dreams
and aspirations.
A learner has clear goals and
expectations along with the goals and
expectations that the teacher has set.

10.3 W ho is the teacher?

The transmission or
presentation of information is
not synonymous with
teaching.
Teaching: imparting knowledge
It must effect a change in
personality and perspective for both
teacher and the student.

Teachers must feel competent

and confident about the
knowledge they are imparting to
the students.

 Teacher is like the first prisoner

released from the cave.
The job is to convince others (the
students) that there is more to
reality than what they know.
It takes a culturally and socially welladjusted to impart life-transforming
multicultural education.
The prisoner (the teacher) must be
persuasive enough to get other
prisoners seriously and gain
credibility for his or her ideas.
A teacher needs both:
The possession of information
The possession of effective
communication skills and methods

 The teacher:

Instructs
Informs
Forms
Shapes
Cultivates the knowledge of

The learners

Learning can take place without a

teacher..
However, teachers expedite and
strengthen the process of learning.
Teachers must not reproduce him or herself.
Teachers must help the learners to discover how
to fully actualize him or herself.
To teach is to bring learners to the point at which
they can begin asking the right question.

C on clu sion
The classroom presents us with a laboratory
for viewing the possible demonstrations of the
fullest extent of human potentials as well as
the lowest depth of human failure.
(Domnwachukwu)
As teachers, we should set our goals to teach
student to become successful and selfactualized citizens, and strive to become one
ourselves as well.
