Different types of goals of education:-
Since education is a multifaceted process - so the goals of education are also multifaceted. Education can never be aimless. Along with the development and evolution of society, the goals of education also change. Although different educational philosophers have shed light on different goals of education, they all have given importance to the overall development of the child and the all-round excellence of human life. The general goals of education are as follows.
1. Individualistic goals:-
The individualistic goals of education are developed around the individual. The individualistic goals of education are directed towards the all-round development of each individual's physical, intellectual, social, cultural, moral, creative, expressive, values, etc. By bringing together individualistic goals in each individual, it is possible to fulfill both individual and social welfare.
2. Socialistic goals:-
Man is a social being. He grows up in society and his personality develops. Therefore, the socialistic goal of education is to develop sociality in the individual by giving importance to the social aspects of the individual. Since the individual, education and society are interrelated, the social goals change with the evolution of time.
3. Goal of knowledge acquisition:-
One of the goals of education is knowledge acquisition. Through education, a person acquires knowledge about his known and unknown world, the world of employment, etc. It is through education that a person becomes familiar with the various mysteries of the world - the universe, becomes familiar with socio-economic norms, and acquires knowledge about the political and political structure.
4. Vocational goal:-
Education creates productivity in people and through education, people become familiar with the economic activities of their society. Through vocational education, people can make themselves suitable for their future activities. In short, the vocational goal of education helps a person in earning a living.
5. Goal of child growth and development:-
Although the proper development of a child is related to education, the growth of a child is not directly related to education. But still, through proper education, the growth of a child can be guided in a constructive way. Also, education plays an important role in the complete development of a child. Education is conducted with the aim of all-round development of every child - physical, intellectual, social, cultural, moral, creative, expressive, values, etc.
6. Goal of adaptation:-
Both Horney and Raymont have emphasized the goal of adaptation of education. The history of human civilization has evolved and developed through adaptation. Through proper education, a child can develop himself by successfully adapting to the changing natural and social environment.
7. Moral goal:-
One of the proponents of the moral goal of education is Herbert. According to him, education is a complex process and the main goal of this process is the development of the child's morality. Philosopher Locke claimed that the formation of a child's moral character is one of the goals of education. Ancient Greek philosopher Plato said - the goal of education is to develop the moral qualities of man.
8. Spiritual goal: -
The philosophical education - philosophers have given more importance to the spiritual goal of education. Rabindranath, Swami Vivekananda, Froebel - all have given the spiritual goal of education a place above all. According to them, the main goal of all education is to know oneself and to get rid of all the bonds of this world through knowing oneself.
9. The goal of culture and creativity: -
Education develops a creative attitude in the student by improving human imagination, philosophical sense, etc. Education directs the culture and creativity of the individual in the right direction. In fact, the development of human civilization has been achieved through the cultural and creative mentality of the individual. It is desirable to direct that creativity of the individual in the right direction through education.
10. Cultural goals: -
Every society has its own culture. Through education, an individual not only gains knowledge about the culture of his own known society, but also about the culture prevalent in the wider world. In this way, through education, an individual gains knowledge about culture on the one hand, but also plays a special role in the transmission of culture and tradition on the other.
11. Goal of democracy: -
Among the various political ideologies, the ideal of democracy is the most important. Today, almost every society in the world has given democracy a place in its political system. Through education, an individual can become familiar with the main values of democracy and a democratic attitude is developed among them. In this way, education becomes helpful in the spread of democracy.
12. Goal of national unity and sense of nationality: -
A major element in maintaining national unity is education. Through education, an individual becomes familiar with his national life. On the basis of their own language, culture, tradition, etc., they become a nation and a sense of nationality is developed among them. In this case, education is a major element. Without education, it is not possible to properly preserve national unity and foster a sense of nationalism in any society.
In conclusion, it can be said that one of the goals of modern education is to achieve the all-round development of the student's life. To fulfill that goal, education emphasizes the different development of individual life; which results in the welfare of both the individual and society.
