About the Book

Concept of Education

Education is one of those things that are being taken and adopted with many of the wrong concepts. The essence of education and being educated is being almost vanished from the hearts of the teachers and from the minds of the students. The concept has been taken wrong, wrong enough to dilate the mind of students and mix it with the material things like 'only good grades' (with no logic at all & even by the way cheating and copying) or the dreams of that high-paying job even when you have to do the wrong things (like tax evasion etc). According to some learned people, the word "Education" has been derived from the Latin term "Educatum" which means the act of teaching or training. A group of educationists says that it has come from another Latin word "Educare" which means "to bring up" or "to raise". Education as an active and constructive process that takes students seriously and fully reveals their capabilities. Our concept of education stands for a learning culture that is based on self-organization and focuses on consequent competence orientation. New learning technologies open innovative possibilities for gaining knowledge. Our semi-virtual learning concept combines class sessions with online phases and offers you diverse and positive learning experience due to different forms of instructions. The cooperation of motivated students and experienced instructors guarantees that together with the knowledge you acquire essential core skills and decision-making competences related to your profession. This book can also be useful to the teachers and research scholars as a reference material.
