A Study of Attitude of Students, Teachers and Parents Towards Online Teaching Learning

Abstract

Education is the most important invention of mankind. Man, without education would still be living just like an animal. It is an education which transformed man from a mere "two-legged animal into human". The word education is like a diamond which appears to be off a different color when seen from different angles. Education of man does not begin at school; it begins at birth. It ends, not when he graduates from the university, but at his death. Hence, education is a lifelong process. The term education has been variously defined by various thinkers. While the Indian thinkers have taken a spiritual view of the concept of education, the western thinkers have taken the pragmatic view. According to John Dewey, "Education is the development of all those capacities in the individual which will enable him to control his environment and fulfill his possibilities". Knowledge as the center of education, the very term 'Veda' means 'Knowledge'. In Rig Veda," Education has been understood as something which makes a man self-reliant and selfless". In Upanishads: Education is that whose end product is salvation".
