ay acquire knowledge.
Fifthly, according to this idea, students have no role in selecting what knowledge he would acquire. The children will learn all those which are liked by adults and guardians. the demands, tendencies, likes or dislikes of the children are less valued here. Hence, this education is led by completely unpsychological attitude.
Through the discussion above, it is found that if education is considered as the only process of acquiring knowledge, it makes education narrow in all respects. Modern educators have said, education must be related to life and child. The aim of education will be to help a child in all round development of of his life. Its aim can not be to burden him with meaningless knowledge. Curriculum, according modern idea, should aim of all round development. So there should be synthesis of experience with variety. Curriculum is not the knowledge which revolves around the subject only taught. Modern teacher should be a helper and not giver. He is to help students acquire knowledge. Modern teaching method bring together teachers and students and make them work in synchronization.
So what we get from our discussion is education as mere acquisition of knowledge is curriculum limited, unchageable, mechanical and devoid of human quality. Hence, the theory is rejectable.
