The differences between education in the narrow sense and education in the broad sense are as follows:-
1. Aspect of meaning:-
Education in the narrow sense is basically textbook education which is a combination of some theories and information. Generally, school education is called education in the narrow sense.
But education in the broad sense is whatever the student learns from his society, environment and culture along with school.
2. Objective aspect:-
The main aim of education in the narrow sense is to make the student acquire some general and special skills and knowledge. On the other hand, the main aim of education in the broad sense is the all-round development of the student and adaptation to real life.
3. Scope:-
Education in the narrow sense is limited to school life. Education in the narrow sense begins and ends in school.
But education in the broad sense is conducted from the birth of the student to his death. The student gains experience from his environment and society throughout his life.
4. Subjective difference:-
In the narrow sense, the main subject of education is theory and information.
But in the broad sense of education, along with theory and information, the student can acquire practical and relevant knowledge.
5. Role of the teacher:-
In the narrow sense of education, the role of the teacher is mainly to distribute textbook knowledge. In this case, the teacher acts as a bridge between the curriculum and the student.
But in the broad sense of education, the role of the teacher is secondary. Here, the teacher can play the role of a facilitator. In many cases of broad sense of education, the presence of the teacher becomes meaningless.
6. Differences in teaching methodology: -
In the narrow sense of education, the teaching methodology is mainly oral instruction, presentation of speech, testing, etc.
But in the broad sense of education, following such a method is irrelevant. The student acquires knowledge and experience through self-activity according to his needs and abilities.
7. Differences in the role of the student: -
In the narrow sense, the role of the student in education is only that of a passive listener. He does not have anything special to do here except acquiring the knowledge imparted by the teacher.
But in the broad sense of education, the student is active while acquiring experience and knowledge and participates in the learning process according to his needs.
8. Differences in curriculum: -
In the narrow sense of education, only certain subjects are taught in schools. The student does not get the opportunity to learn anything outside his curriculum.
But in the broad sense of education, there is no specific curriculum. The student's surrounding environment, society and culture are all included in the curriculum.
9. Differences in educational institutions: -
In the narrow sense, there are basically two main institutions of education - school and family.
But in the broad sense, the student's overall environment, school, family, television, newspapers, religious organizations - all are educational institutions.
10. Differences in discipline: -
In the narrow sense, great importance is attached to the discipline of students and schools. In this case, various steps are taken to maintain discipline and strict external discipline is controlled.
But in the broad sense, the student gains experience by being motivated by self-discipline.
11. Differences in materials: -
In the narrow sense, common materials such as blackboards, books, catalogs, etc. are used in the classroom.
But in the broad sense, there is no specific obligation in the case of education. In this case, the student can use educational materials according to his needs.
12. Impact on the student's life:-
Education in the narrow sense helps the student to get vocational knowledge, acquire formal learning and acquire theoretical knowledge. Basically, the knowledge of 3 R's like being able to write, read, do mathematics and reasoning - etc. can be acquired by the student through education in the narrow sense.
But in the broad sense, education helps the student to acquire the knowledge of 7 R's like acquiring professional skills, developing interpersonal skills, cultural interaction, socialization etc. in addition to the knowledge of 3 R's.
Finally, it can be said that both education in the narrow and broad sense are very important in the life of the student. Here, neither role should be underestimated. Both play a role in the positive development of the student's life.
