PHILOSOPHICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES OF EDUCATION IN INDIA

Abstract

Education in India is shaped by a rich tapestry of philosophical, psychological, and sociological perspectives that have evolved over centuries. This research article explores these perspectives, tracing their historical roots, examining their influence on educational practices, and highlighting their relevance in contemporary Indian society. From the ancient philosophical traditions of Vedanta and Buddhism to the modern psychological theories of cognitive development and socio-cultural learning, India's educational landscape reflects a synthesis of diverse ideologies and approaches. Understanding these perspectives is crucial for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders to create inclusive, equitable, and effective educational systems that cater to the diverse needs of learners in India.
