Theoretical and Research Influences

for Pedagogical Practices

"The object of education is to prepare the young

to educate themselves throughout their lives."

 Robert Maynard Hutchins (1899-1977)

 

    This quote accurately captures my feelings toward education.  I feel that the object of education in any institution should be to instill the desire and the skills necessary for students to continue their education after they have completed their schooling.  I feel it is the responsibility of educators to ensure that students are capable of learning on their own.  Students should know where to obtain information that will allow them to further their education and to build on the basic knowledge they acquired from their school experience.
