Abstract

It is strongly considered that the philosophy of education is a potential branch of practical philosophy in pedagogy. It investigates the nature of education as well as its objectives and obstacles. It also includes the examination of educational theories, the presuppositions present in them, and the arguments for and against them. Education can, generally, be defined as a taxonomical process through which a student or an adult gains cognition, experience, skill and reliable attitude. It makes an individual, knowledgeable, civilized, refined, cultured, accommodative, wise and enlightened. In order to have a civilized and socialized society, education is the only reliable means across the world. A country’s core values of culture are considered by what is taught in its educational institutions. Some of the values are: individualism, cleanliness, languages, achievements, work, morality, concern for others, value of time, equality, social liberty etc. In addition to it, ideological indoctrination plays a vital role in imparting dogmatism or blind faith and so it should be eliminated from teaching. By and large, the goal of education is to make an individual consummate personally, morally and socially. According to Benjamin Bloom, education is categorized into cognitive domain, psychomotor domain and affective domain.
